Understanding differences in vent modes
• What initiates the breath• What controls the amount of airflow during
inspiration• What controls the duration of inspiration
• Philosophy of the mode
Standard Modes
• Volume Control• Pressure Control• Pressure Control Inverse Ratio Ventilation• Pressure Support• CPAP
Traditional Volume Control
Flow
Pressure
Volume
Current Volume Control
Flow
Pressure
Volume
Pressure Control
Pressure = __Volume__ + Flow * Resistance Compliance
Initially, high pressure on vent >> low volume of lung (therefore low pressure in lung) => high flowLater, high pressure on vent = higher lung volume (therefore higher pressure in lung) => low or zero flow
Flow
Pressure
Volume
Pressure Control Inverse Ratio
Philosophy of mode = control and increase mean airway pressure, by increasing ratio of time spent at higher pressure

Newer Modes
• PRVC/VC/VS• APRV• PAV• NAVA
Pressure Regulated Volume Control, Volume Control, Volume Support
• Breath is initiated by patient or elapsed time• PC used for ventilator initiated breath, to target goal
tidal volume• PS used for patient initiated breath, to target goal tidal
volume• “Set like VC, flows like PC”• Philosophy – allow more natural decelerating flow
• Fallacy – uses lower pressure to achieve the same volume
Flow
Pressure
Volume
APRV
• Sustained CPAP to ventilate the lung while recruited
• Short, infrequent releases of pressure to augment the minute volume for CO2 clearance
• Fallacy – inverse ratio ventilation
Proportional Assist Ventilation
• Ventilator provides support in proportion to patient’s effort
Neurally Adjusted Ventilator Assist
• Measures diaphragmattic activity as a proxy of phrenic nerve activity
• Breath initiated and ended based on diaphragmattic activity
• Flow proportional to amount of activity and based on ratio set by provider
• Philosophy – better synchrony with patient’s efforts
Why all of the new modes?
For the company• Latest hardware, latest
software• Modalities requested by
providers• Product differentiation• Increased switching
costs• Sell more vents
For the providers• Greatest/latest toy• Easier to achieve goals
of ventilation
Goals of mechanical ventilation
• Provide support– Not necessarily a perfect ABG
• Do no harm– Ventilator Induced Lung Injury
• Shortest required duration on ventilator
• Improve long term lung function in survivors
Too Much of a Good Thing
Tremblay L, et al. J Clin Invest 1997; 99(5): 944.
Current best practice
• Limit airway pressures• Limit tidal volumes
Limitation of current practice• How to minimize shear injuries from
collapse/re-opening
• Shear forces are increased in heterogeneous lung
• These abnormal stresses can also affect the pulmonary capillaries

Recruiting with time – HFO and APRV
Froese AB, Bryan AC. Anesthesiology 1974; 41: 242.
Recruiting with Spontaneous Breaths
Evidence for APRV• Improves oxygenation• Improves distribution of ventilation• Improves renal blood flow• Improves mesenteric perfusion• Decreases development of ARDSLimitation – unknown if decrease in mortality or
less time on ventPutensen C, et al. AJRCCM 1999; 159: 1241.

As promising as HFO?
Liberating from ventilator
Current best practice• Fix underlying problem• Daily assessment of need for ventilator• Correct underlying reason for needing supportAdditional goals• Use vent mode which allows lower sedation– Decrease dysynchrony
• Allow the patient to do some, but not too much, work of breathing
Studies of PAV and NAVA
• Evidence of better synchrony with patient• More natural variation in tidal volumes– Better oxygenation
• No proven benefit so far of shorter duration on ventilator
Fastest way to liberate off vent
• Daily spontaneous breathing trial– Remove the ventilator to eliminate dysynchrony
• Limit/avoid sedation• Fix underlying problem each day the patient
needs the vent– e.g. Infection, Fluids, Debilitation
• Automated Weaning Trials– Eliminate our variability in removing support
Potential value of PAV and NAVA
• NIV• May allow more patients to be supported
without intubation
The Future of the Ventilator?
Conclusion
• Keep it simple• Don’t intubate the patient if you don’t have to– Use NIV in appropriate settings
• Provide support, but not so much that it will harm the patient
• Look each day to see if the patient still needs the vent• Determine why it is needed, and fix the underlying
issue• Future – avoiding the ventilator altogether?– NIV, ECMO
