Study Notes
Ventilation Patterns
- Patient-triggered breaths occur in Assisted Ventilation, allowing the patient to initiate inhalation while receiving support.
- Mandatory Inflation is characterized by assured inflations, guaranteeing a set breath regardless of the patient's effort.
- Combined Ventilation includes both assured (mandatory) inflations and support (spontaneous) inflations to cater to varying patient needs.
- Continuous Spontaneous Ventilation (CSV) is a ventilation pattern that enables patients to breathe spontaneously while receiving minimal mandatory support.
Breath Delivery Modifications
- An adjunct, such as an endotracheal tube, alters breath delivery by accommodating for specific airway conditions and resistance.
Control Parameters
- The Inflation Type Description outlines specific control parameters guiding how inflations are delivered, focusing on volume, pressure, or flow characteristics.
- In Pressure Control inflations, the control parameter is based on the pressure limit set on the ventilator, ensuring a consistent pressure during inhalation.
Detection and Initiation of Breaths
- In the pressure trigger method, breath initiation is detected by sensing a patient's negative pressure created by inhalation.
- The ventilator breath cycle component responsible for starting the inspiratory phase is the triggering system, determining how breaths are initiated.
- The Neural Trigger method involves detecting electrical signals from the diaphragm — essentially monitoring the patient’s involuntary efforts to breathe.
Lung Dynamics and Breath Control
- Lung inflation during inhalation leads to an increase in lung volume, following the principles of gas laws.
- During exhalation, lung volume decreases, facilitating the removal of air and restoring resting lung capacity.
- The Inspiratory Plateau in Pressure Control is primarily affected by airway resistance and lung compliance.
Spontaneous Breathing Considerations
- Spontaneous support ventilator breaths do not adhere to preset volume or time parameters, allowing for natural patient-initiated breathing patterns.
- The shape of the Volume Control waveform can be influenced by various factors, including changes in airway resistance and lung compliance.
Ventilator Breath Termination
- Mandatory assured ventilator inflations can be set to terminate based on pre-programmed time limits or volume goals, ensuring patient safety.
Pressure Cycling
- Pressure cycling on a ventilator is triggered when preset pressure levels are reached, leading to the cessation of the inspiratory phase and allowing for exhalation.
