  1. Patrick Gleason MS4 University of South Carolina School of Medicine Pressure vs. Volume Limited Ventilation- Is one safer or more effective than the other?

  2. Modes of Ventilation

  3. Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI) • 2 main types of injury: 1. Overdistention 2. Collapse and reexpansion • VILI is histologically indistinguishable from ARDS • Obesity may be protective at high pressures

  4. Pressure Limited Ventilation • Set Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) level, I:E ratio, respiratory rate, applied PEEP, and FiO2 • Tidal volume is variable from breath to breath • No consensus on ideal pressures • Peak airway pressure is constant during pressure limited ventilation

  5. Volume Limited Ventilation • Set peak flow rate, flow pattern, tidal volume, respiratory rate, PEEP, and FiO2. • PIP is variable from breath to breath • Important distinction in the flow patterns: • Square wave vs. ramp wave

  6. Volume Limited Ventilation – cont.

  7. Pressure vs. Volume • There were no statistically significant differences in mortality, oxygenation, or work of breathing • Pressure-limited ventilation was associated with lower peak airway pressures, a more homogeneous gas distribution, improved patient-ventilator synchrony, and earlier liberation from mechanical ventilation than volume-limited ventilation. • Studies comparing pressure-limited and volume-limited ventilation used a square wave pattern for both modes. When volume-limited mechanical ventilation with a ramp wave pattern was compared to pressure-limited ventilation, lower peak airway pressures were no longer an advantage of pressure-limited ventilation.

  8. Recommendations • Use PEEP in both pressure and volume limited ventilation – the higher the PIP, the higher the PEEP. • Tidal volumes should be between 5-10 mL/kg of IBW • Preferable to use either pressure limited or volume limited with ramp wave flow • Previous pulmonary injury increases risk for subsequent VILI
