vENTILATOR GRAPHICS IN PICU ….. Optimizing Ventilation DrVishramBuche Central India’s CHILD hospital & Research institute, NAGPUR Part 1……..
How to identify different WAVES and LOOPS ? and thereby mode of vent ? How it helps to monitor Ventilator parameters ? How it helps to adjust vent settings/ parameters ? How it helps to identify / quantify the problem? How it helps to manage disease pattern ? OBJECTIVES…… • GOAL ……. • 1. Reduce WOB, Optimize ventilation • & Improve patient comfort • 2. Maximize therapeutic effect • 3. Minimize ventilator associated lung injury
MEASUREMENT OF PRESSURE ………. At ETT Where it is measured…. ? In esophagus Inside Ventilator Inside the Pt’s airway ……..???
Basic phase variables………….. A. Trigger ……. • What causes the breath to begin? B. Limit ………. • What regulates gas flow during the breath? • C. Cycle ……… • What causes the breath to end? D. Baseline…… End exp Pressure (FRC level) B C D A
The Pulmonary graphics display in two formats……… Scalars…… Loops……... Basic shapes….. Square, Sine and Exponential rise or decay

Graphic analysis to optimize ventilation…..
Common causes of Pt-vent asynchrony…………….. • Tidal volumes too low • Inspiratory flow too slow • Inspiratory time too long • Trigger sensitivity too negative • Increased resistance of ETT • AutoPEEP • Pain, discomfort and agitation
Pressure wave………… Effect of ed air way resistance/compliance PIP PIP P plat P plat
Pressure wave………… Effect of Auto-PEEP.... Air-trapping…..Auto-PEEP While performing an expiratory hold maneuver, trapped air will cause the waveform to rise above the baseline.
Clinical signs of AUTOPEEP………… • Tachypnoea ....earliest sign • Appearance of s/o resp distress • With present vent setting like • Accessory muscles usage, intercostal • retractions etc • Rising PaCO2 is a late sign
I Rise time……. How do I adjust it? P 0 time F 0 time
I Rise time…….fast Bart simpson spike Rise time “overshoots” Desired pressure time Too fast
I Rise time…….fast “SPIKE ” on graphics IRT is set at 0.05 seconds
I Rise time…….fast Increase IRT…………….. …..waveform will return to normal
Inspiratory rise time is directly Proportionalto inspiratory flow to getproportional Vt is deliverd
PRESSURE waveform……… To Increase Mean Airway Pressure…. 1. Increase flow 2. Increase peak pressure 3. Lengthen inspiratory time 4. Increase PEEP 5. Increase Rate MAP….. PIP Pressure PEEP Ti TE Time
Flow waveform…… Effects of airway resistance/ obstruction PIF PEF TV In severe insp airway obstruction, the wave form can become a plateau. This can become a problem in flow-cycled modes, such as Pressure Support. (asynchrony, W.O.B.)
Flow waveform…… Effects of ed expiratory resistance
Normal Patient Air Trapping……… AUTO PEEP Flow waveform…… Inspiration Time Flow (L/min) Air-trapping AUTO PEEP Expiration
Response to Bronchodilator…. Flow waveform…… Before After Long TE Normal TE Flow Time PEFR Improved PEFR To assess response to bronchodilator therapy,…. 1. An increase in peak expiratory flow rate. 2. The expiratory curve should return to baseline sooner.

Flow time wave……. F Secretions Or water in circuit
VOLUME waveform……………….. Increased Airway resistance Exhaled vol taking longer time to reach baseline Time Exhaled volume takes longer time to return to baseline ……… damp or blocked expiratory filter/valve
Air trapping / Air Leak………… VOLUME waveform……………….. Volume (ml) Air Leak Exhalation side of the waveform doesn’t return to baseline, it could be 1---- air-trapping (improperly set I-time, emphysema), 2---- air leak (ET tube, vent circuit, chest tube, etc.) And can lead to auto-triggering Time (sec)

Air Trapping….. P-V loop and F-V loop Exp Insp PIFR Flow volume VT • Insp Exp Pressure PEFR • The expiratory portion of the loop doesn’t return to baseline. • This indicates a air trapping/or air leak.
