Objectives
Introduction
The primary objective of Mechanical Ventilation is to
support breathing until patient respiratory efforts are
sufficient.
First mechanical ventilation for a neonate in 1959.
One of the most important breakthroughs in the history
of neonatal care.
Mortality from RDS decreased markedly after MV.
New Morbidity developed CLD (BPD)
Respiratory Failure
Hypoxemia
Usually the result of V/Q mismatch or RL shunt.
Diffusion abnormalities & hypoventilation (apnea)
Respiratory Failure
Respiratory Failure
Clinical Manifestation:
Increase or decrease in respiratory rate.
Increase or decrease in respiratory effort.
Periodic breathing with increase respiratory efforts.
Apnea.
Compliance:
Resistance:
Resistance
Time Constant:
An index of how rapidly the lungs can empty.
Time constant = Compliance X Resistance
In BPD time constant is long because of resistance.
In RDS time constant is short because of low
compliance.
Normal = 0.12-0.15 sec

Time Constant
Inspiratory time must be 3-5 X time constant

Pros:
Increased oxygenation
May improve gas distribution
Cons
Gas trapping
Increased risk of volutrauma and air leak
Impaired venous return
Increased pulmonary vascular resistance

Pros:
Faster weaning
Decreased risk for pneumothorax
Allows use of higher ventilator

Not well studied in infants
Minimal effects on ABG
In general 8-12 LPM
High Flow is needed with short inspiratory time to
achieve adequate TV.

Definition
There are three distinguishing characteristics of
high-frequency oscillatory ventilation:

40
Commercial ventilators
Various technical principles are used to generate oscillating
ventilation patterns.
The so-called "true" oscillators provide active inspiration and
active expiration with sinusoidal waveforms:
Piston oscillators move a column of gas rapidly back and forth in
the breathing circuit with a piston pump.
Its size determines the stroke volume, which is therefore fairly
constant. A bias flow system supplies fresh gas
41
The "flow-interrupters" chop up the gas flow into the patient circuit
at a high rate, thus causing pressure oscillations. Their power,
however, depends also on the respiratory mechanics of the patient
