How to improve Efficiency of ventilation and Comfort of patient? AVAPSTM Feature More about the Algorithm Efficiency Comfort Safety Versatility Prediction
AVAPS Algorithm • Estimation of Vte at each breath (Auto-TRAK) • Comparison of the averaged Vte with target Vte • Calculation of the pressure to add to reach the target Vte • Progressive increase of the IPAP (< 1cmH2O/min) from breath to breath • If the patient is unstable: the IPAP cannot change by more than 0.5 cmH2O/min • If the cycle is not « regular » (sudden leak increase or decrease, patient sigh, the patient talks ..etc), it is not taken into account: constant IPAP • Starting pressure support (starting point) = Target Vt / (60 ml/cmH2O)

Elastance Missing Vte PS of that breath Target Vte – Estimated Vte Vte of that breath Average missing Vte x Average Elastance PS of that breath + PS to add PS to add = New PS = Pressure Support Calculation For Each Breath
Breath to Breath, Pressure Support Changes IPAP Max < 1 cmH2O/min IPAP Min EPAP Target Vt Vte = Vt patient
Example • Target Vte = 250 ml Pressure Patient flow • Measurements: • Measured average PS = 6 cmH2O • Estimated average Vte = 220 ml • Calculation: • Missing average Vte = 30 ml • Pressure to add = (6 / 220) x 30 = 0,8 cmH2O (progressively within the next minute) • New pressure support = 6,8 cmH2O • Next breath: • Pressure to add = (0,8 x Tbreath) / 60 If Tbreath = 4s then pressure to add is 0,05 cmH2O for a stable respiration and 0,03 cmH2O for an unstable respiration
Starting Pressure Support The Synchrony starts the ventilation with a pressure support of 1cmH20/60ml of the set target Vte • Target Vte = 600 ml • EPAP = 5 cmH2O • IPAP Min = 12 cmH2O • IPAP Max = 20 cmH2O • Starting point : • Starting Pressure Support = 600ml x ( 1 cmH2O/60ml) = 10 cmH2O • Starting IPAP = 15 cmH2O Example :
Conclusion • Reliable algorithm based on RI Technology (Auto-TRAK: leaks and Vte estimation): • Efficient pressure changes based on Vte • Stable algorithm not affected by leaks • Small and progressive pressure changes that do not deteriorate patient comfort • This algorithm allows you to combine comfort of patient with safety and efficiency of ventilation
