Service de Santé des Armées Performance of ventilators at simulated altitude: study of FiO2 Jean-Pierre Tourtier , Thomas Leclerc, Marc Borne Militaryhospital Val-de-Grâce, Paris, France
Introduction (1): • Aero medical evacuation: ventilatory support • Ventilators: turbine technology • Hypobaric • FiO2 preset / assessed / delivered
Introduction (2): • 2 ventilators: • T-bird VS02 LTV-1000
Methods (1): • Cabin altitude simulation
Methods (2): • Altitude simulated: • 1500 m (4000 feet) • 2500 m (6700 feet) • 3000 m (3000 feet)
Methods (3): • Lung simulation: VT1 Bioteck • Normal lung: • (resistance : 5.6 cm H2O/L/min ; compliance : 50 ml/cm H2O) • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom: • (resistance : 3.9 cm H2O/L/min ; compliance : 20 ml/cm H2O)
Methods (4): • Ventilation parameters:
Measurements: • Actual FiO2 • paramagnetic analysis Methods (5):
focused magnetic field • Oxygen is attracted • electric potential • « gold standard » Methods (6):paramagnetic analysis
Conclusion (1): T-bird VS02 • Variations between FiO2 set and delivered: high • Variations between FiO2 delivered and assessed: high • Inefficacity of ventilators Fi02 analysis
Conclusion (2): LTV-1000 • Variations between FiO2 set and delivered: moderate • Variations between FiO2 delivered and assessed: high • Inefficacity of ventilators Fi02 analysis
