Mechanical ventilation is used widely in patient care from initial injury through hospital transport, surgery, intensive care, and intermediate care. Various modes of ventilation have been developed to support patient breathing including controlled mandatory modes like CMV that do not allow spontaneous breathing and supported modes like PSV that augment patient effort. Key parameters monitored include pressures, volumes, and gas exchange. Complications can include barotrauma, decreased cardiac output, and pneumonia. Weaning protocols gradually reduce ventilator support as the underlying condition improves and respiratory function is adequate.

Comprehensive presentation on intra arterial blood pressure with a good insight into the the basic physics and brief look into the risks and complications.
Manual respiratory bypass (MRB), also known as a bag valve mask (BVM), is a hand-held device used to provide ventilation to patients who are not breathing adequately. It consists of an ambu bag, valve, and face mask. The ambu bag was developed in the 1950s and works by using a one-way valve to direct gas from the bag into the patient's lungs when compressed. MRB is commonly used in emergency situations until a patient can breathe on their own or more advanced care is available. It provides oxygenation and ventilation by sealing the face mask and squeezing the ambu bag to inflate the lungs.
Central venous pressure (CVP) is the pressure measured in the central veins close to the heart and indicates right atrial pressure. CVP is measured using a catheter placed in a central vein that is connected to a manometer or pressure transducer. Normal CVP ranges from 1-7 mmHg or 5-10 cm H2O. CVP monitoring provides information about cardiac function and volume status and is used to guide fluid administration and assess patients' hemodynamic status. Complications of CVP monitoring include hemorrhage, pneumothorax, infection, and thrombosis.
Mechanical ventilation is a therapeutic method that uses physical devices to assist or replace spontaneous breathing. There are two main types: negative pressure ventilation which applies pressure lower than atmospheric to the chest, and positive pressure ventilation which applies pressure higher than atmospheric to the lungs. Positive pressure ventilation is more commonly used today. It is important to carefully monitor patients on mechanical ventilation to optimize ventilation and prevent lung injury, through monitoring pressures, volumes, oxygen levels and CO2 levels. The goals are to provide adequate gas exchange while applying the lowest possible pressures and volumes to the lungs.
1. Bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) delivers two levels of positive airway pressure - a higher pressure during inspiration and a lower pressure during expiration - to reduce work of breathing and improve oxygenation.
2. BPAP is effective for acute exacerbations of COPD and cardiogenic pulmonary edema by reducing mortality, need for intubation, and treatment failure compared to standard care.
3. For pneumonia, outcomes are worse with post-obstructive pneumonia, pleural effusions, hypoxic hypercapnic respiratory failure with effusions, and over 24 hours on BPAP therapy.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) delivers mechanical ventilation without intubation by using techniques like CPAP and bi-level positive airway pressure. It can treat acute respiratory failure by improving ventilation and oxygenation. The main advantages are avoiding intubation complications while allowing speech and swallowing. Indications include pulmonary edema, pneumonia, and COPD/asthma exacerbations. Settings are tailored to the condition. NIV is contraindicated in altered mental states or inability to protect airways. Close monitoring is needed and treatment may need to be switched to intubation if not improving the patient.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) provides ventilatory support without intubation through a non-invasive interface like a mask. It is used initially to treat type 2 respiratory failure and prevent need for mechanical ventilation. Benefits include avoiding complications of intubation and improving outcomes by reducing mortality, morbidity, ICU/hospital stay, and costs. NIV is appropriate for patients with acute or acute on chronic respiratory failure who are cooperative, hemodynamically stable, and have an adequate cough reflex. Factors determining success include careful patient selection, skilled application and monitoring, and timely transition to invasive ventilation if needed.
Mechanical ventilation is a method of mechanically assisting or replacing spontaneous breathing. It is indicated for respiratory failure, acute lung injury, apnea, or increased work of breathing from conditions like COPD. There are several types and modes of mechanical ventilation that deliver breaths through either positive or negative pressure. Modes determine the interplay between the patient and ventilator, and include controlled mandatory ventilation, assisted-control ventilation, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, pressure support ventilation, and more. Key parameters that are set include tidal volume, respiratory rate, pressures and time settings.
Mechanical ventilation can be used to support or replace spontaneous breathing in patients unable to maintain adequate ventilation on their own. It aims to facilitate carbon dioxide release and maximize oxygen delivery. Modes include controlled mandatory ventilation where the ventilator controls both tidal volume and rate, and assist-control where the ventilator provides a minimum rate with additional breaths triggered by the patient. Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation delivers mandatory breaths at set intervals while allowing spontaneous breathing in between to reduce asynchrony.
- Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) uses a mask to deliver bi-level positive airway pressure to improve gas exchange and reduce work of breathing without using an invasive tube.
- NIV aims to improve gas exchange, reduce shortness of breath, avoid invasive ventilation, and reduce length of stay.
- It is indicated for type 2 respiratory failure with a pH between 7.25-7.35. Patients outside this range may require ICU care.
- Patients must be able to protect their airway, cooperate, and clear secretions. Contraindications include recent surgery or trauma, vomiting, and impaired consciousness.
- Settings are initially IPAP 10 and EPAP 4 but adjusted

Clinical scenarios are provided as examples.
This document discusses central venous pressure (CVP), including indications for CVP monitoring, measurement, waveform interpretation, and techniques for central venous cannulation. It notes that CVP can be used to assess intravascular volume status, right ventricular function, and is indicated for major procedures involving fluid shifts. The internal jugular vein and subclavian vein are common access sites, and ultrasound guidance can help with cannulation. Potential complications include arterial puncture, pneumothorax, and infection.
The document discusses mechanical ventilation and various ventilation modes. It describes how mechanical ventilators work using positive or negative pressure to maintain oxygen delivery. Some key ventilation modes discussed include CPAP which maintains continuous elevated airway pressure, PEEP which applies positive pressure at the end of expiration, and SIMV which provides mandatory breaths at set intervals allowing spontaneous breathing in between.
This document provides information on arterial line insertion and monitoring. It discusses indications for arterial lines, equipment needed, insertion techniques, complications, and troubleshooting. The radial artery is typically used as it has a low complication rate and is superficial, allowing for easy compression if needed. Continuous monitoring of arterial waveforms is important to ensure accurate blood pressure readings and detect any issues. Troubleshooting involves assessing the waveform, equipment, and catheter placement to address potential problems like dampening or resonance in the tracing.
The document discusses various artificial airways used in respiratory therapy, including oropharyngeal airways, nasopharyngeal airways, endotracheal tubes, and tracheostomy tubes. Oropharyngeal airways are used to maintain the airway in unconscious patients and protect endotracheal tubes from being bitten. Nasopharyngeal airways are used for airway maintenance when oral airway placement is difficult. Endotracheal tubes are inserted into the trachea to provide a clear airway and facilitate mechanical ventilation. Tracheostomy tubes are inserted through an opening in the neck to provide a direct airway to the trachea.
This document discusses brain death and the criteria used to diagnose it. It begins by describing different states of consciousness including coma, persistent vegetative state, and locked-in syndrome. It then defines brain death as the total and irreversible loss of brain and brainstem function. The key criteria for determining brain death are the absence of cortical function, absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnea during a specific oxygen challenge. Confirmatory tests like angiography, EEG, transcranial Doppler, and nuclear medicine scans can also support the diagnosis. Precise clinical evaluations and testing are required to distinguish brain death from other severe neurological conditions.
Weaning from mechanical ventilation is the process of gradually transferring breathing from the ventilator to the patient. It must be individualized and involves assessing patient readiness using criteria like clinical stability, adequate oxygenation and pulmonary function. Weaning success means unassisted breathing for 48 hours after removal from the ventilator. Patients are classified as having simple, difficult or prolonged weaning based on time to successful extubation. Factors that can cause weaning failure include increased airway resistance, decreased lung compliance, and respiratory muscle fatigue due to conditions like cardiac dysfunction, diaphragm weakness or endocrine abnormalities.
1. Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the amount of air in the lungs after a normal expiration and is dependent on factors like sex, age, height, and weight. FRC increases with age and decreases with weight.
2. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) maintains a positive pressure during expiration to keep alveoli inflated, which increases functional residual capacity and improves oxygenation. PEEP is indicated for refractory hypoxemia, intrapulmonary shunts, and decreased FRC and lung compliance.
3. Complications of PEEP include decreased venous return, decreased cardiac output, barotrauma, increased intracranial pressure, and altered renal function
An Ambu bag, also known as a bag valve mask (BVM), is a handheld device used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients unable to breathe effectively on their own. It consists of a self-inflating bag, one-way valve, mask, and optional oxygen reservoir. The Ambu bag is used to manually ventilate a patient's lungs until they can breathe spontaneously or more advanced ventilation support is available. Complications can include aspiration, hypoventilation, hyperventilation, and pneumothorax if not used properly.
CPAP provides continuous positive airway pressure throughout the respiratory cycle to keep alveoli open and increase functional residual capacity in the lungs, improving gas exchange. It has a long history dating back to the 1970s and is commonly used for conditions that decrease functional residual capacity like RDS, apnea of prematurity, and BPD. CPAP is administered non-invasively via the nasal route using prongs, masks, or cannulae attached to a flow generator. It has physiological benefits like improved oxygenation and ventilation. Complications can include pneumothorax, nasal trauma, and gastric distension which are generally preventable with proper application and monitoring.
This document discusses ventilation requirements and systems. It defines ventilation as changing the air in an enclosed space to provide fresh air for respiration and control factors like carbon dioxide, moisture, heat, and odors. Ventilation requirements vary by building usage but are often measured in air changes per hour. Systems can be natural (using airflow without fans) or mechanical (using ducts and fans). Natural ventilation provides benefits like improved indoor air quality but requires proper building design. Mechanical systems provide more air flow control and constant fresh air intake. Common mechanical systems include natural inlet/mechanical exhaust, mechanical inlet/natural exhaust, and fully mechanical. The document also discusses fan types, air filters, and design considerations to minimize mechanical ventilation needs.

Mechanical ventilation and physiotherapy managementMuskan Rastogi
Mechanical ventilation involves using a machine to breathe for patients who cannot breathe effectively on their own. It works by delivering pressurized air into the lungs via a tube in the airway. Physiotherapists help optimize ventilation, clear secretions, prevent complications, and facilitate weaning patients off the ventilator using techniques like suctioning, drainage positions, percussion, and vibrations. The ventilator settings control aspects of breathing like tidal volume, oxygen levels, and respiratory rate. Modes include mandatory breaths or assisting patients' own breaths. Weaning gradually reduces support as the patient recovers lung function and the ability to breathe independently.
Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator Shanta Peter
Mechanical ventilators are used now in general wards , not only in ICU -to save patient's life. We need to care patient and ventilator while working with it ..
This document provides information on mechanical ventilation, including indications, criteria, principles, terminology, modes, pressures, and settings. The key points are:
1. Mechanical ventilation is indicated for respiratory failure (type I or II) or to provide airway protection. Criteria include clinical assessment, ABGs, and physiological parameters.
2. Ventilation aims to facilitate CO2 release while maintaining normal PaCO2. Oxygenation aims to maximize O2 delivery by improving V/Q matching.
3. Common modes include controlled mandatory ventilation (CMV), intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV), and synchronized IMV (SIMV). Settings must be tailored to the individual patient.

This document discusses mechanical ventilation, including its definition, goals, indications, equipment, types, modes, parameters, alarms, weaning guidelines, complications, and nursing care. The main goals of mechanical ventilation are to maintain adequate oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination. It is indicated when a patient's spontaneous breathing is inadequate. Common types include invasive ventilation via endotracheal tubes or tracheostomies, and non-invasive ventilation like CPAP and BiPAP. Modes include volume-cycled, pressure-cycled, and high frequency ventilation. Nursing care focuses on maintaining a patent airway and monitoring the patient's condition.
Mechanical ventilation in obstructive airway diseasesAnkur Gupta
This document discusses mechanical ventilation for patients with obstructive airway diseases like COPD. Some key points:
- Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) should be considered within 60 minutes of hospital arrival for COPD patients with respiratory acidosis, as NIV can reduce intubation and mortality rates.
- Invasive mechanical ventilation aims to rest respiratory muscles, avoid dynamic hyperinflation, and prevent overventilation. Dynamic hyperinflation can increase work of breathing and compromise cardiac function.
- Ventilation strategies differ between asthma and COPD but generally use small tidal volumes, high inspiratory flows, and respiratory rates to minimize hyperinflation. Sedation and analgesia are also important to control distress and pain
The document discusses mechanical ventilation, including definitions, types, indications, settings, complications, and nursing management. Mechanical ventilation is a method of positive or negative pressure breathing assistance used when patients cannot maintain adequate oxygen or carbon dioxide levels on their own. The major types are negative pressure ventilation and positive pressure ventilation. Settings control factors like respiratory rate, tidal volume, oxygen concentration, and PEEP. Complications can include hypotension, pneumonia, and increased intracranial pressure. Nurses monitor patients, ventilator settings and alarms, and prevent complications like infection through interventions such as oral care.
This slide include information regarding ventilators, modes of ventilators , its parts, weaning process, nursing care of patient in mechanical ventilation.
The document provides an overview of mechanical ventilation, including its history and various modes. It begins with the origins of negative-pressure ventilators like iron lungs and the later development of positive-pressure ventilators. The main goals of ventilation are to facilitate carbon dioxide release and oxygen delivery. Various modes are described that can be used for invasive or non-invasive ventilation. Settings like PEEP, respiratory rate, tidal volume, and FiO2 are outlined that can be adjusted to optimize oxygenation and ventilation. Indications for intubation and criteria for safely extubating patients are also reviewed.
Mechanical ventilation is the use of a ventilator to provide breathing support to patients whose breathing is impaired. There are two main types of ventilation: negative pressure ventilation which uses pressure changes around the chest to drive breathing, and positive pressure ventilation which delivers gas into the lungs through an endotracheal tube.
There are several reasons a patient may require mechanical ventilation including airway obstruction, respiratory failure, or to improve oxygen levels and reduce work of breathing. Key settings on a ventilator include tidal volume, respiratory rate, pressure support, and PEEP. Common modes include assist-control, pressure support, and CPAP. It is important to carefully monitor the patient and ventilator, respond to alarms immediately
This document discusses mechanical ventilation, including its purposes, types, modes, settings, complications, weaning process, and nursing care of patients on ventilators. The main types are negative pressure ventilators like iron lungs and positive pressure ventilators. Common modes include assist-control, SIMV, PSV and APRV. Key settings include tidal volume, rate, sensitivity and PEEP. Weaning involves gradually reducing support in stages. Nursing care focuses on airway management, ventilation, safety, communication and weaning progress.
This document provides an overview of mechanical ventilation including its history, types of ventilators, modes of ventilation, indications, complications, ventilator settings for specific diseases, weaning methods, and newer methods. It discusses positive pressure ventilation and various modes like CMV, A/C, IMV, SIMV, and PSV. Complications of mechanical ventilation include barotrauma, volutrauma, VAP, and oxygen toxicity. Optimizing ventilator settings can reduce organ failure and duration of ventilation. Non-invasive ventilation has increased and facilitates weaning. Newer modes continue to be developed to improve ventilation support.
A mechanical ventilator is a machine that helps a patient breathe (ventilate) when they are having surgery or cannot breathe on their own due to a critical illness. The patient is connected to the ventilator with a hollow tube (artificial airway) that goes in their mouth and down into their main airway or trachea
Mechanical ventilation provides positive pressure ventilation to support patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own. The document discusses various modes of mechanical ventilation including controlled mandatory ventilation, volume control ventilation, pressure control ventilation, assisted-control ventilation, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, and pressure support ventilation. It explains the basic parameters used in mechanical ventilation like tidal volume, respiratory rate, PEEP, and I:E ratio. It also discusses principles of weaning a patient from mechanical ventilation and assessing readiness for weaning.
This document discusses various ventilatory strategies for treating ALI/ARDS, including:
- Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) which reduces atelectasis and improves oxygenation.
- Controlled mechanical ventilation aims to decrease ventilatory inequalities and distribute flow better while limiting plateau pressure.
- Low tidal volume ventilation as per the ARDSnet trial reduces mortality compared to conventional tidal volumes.
- Recruitment maneuvers use high pressures to reopen collapsed alveoli but can cause barotrauma and hemodynamic instability if not done carefully.
- Other strategies discussed include prone positioning, high frequency ventilation, airway pressure release ventilation and partial liquid ventilation. The goal is
1) Mechanical ventilation involves using a machine to move air in and out of the lungs through an artificial airway like an endotracheal tube.
2) There are various modes of mechanical ventilation including volume-cycled, pressure-cycled, and high frequency ventilation. Positive pressure ventilation is the most common type.
3) Potential complications of mechanical ventilation include barotrauma, volutrauma, ventilator-associated pneumonia, hypotension, and impaired cerebral blood flow. Nurses monitor for these complications and manage the ventilator settings.

4. Negative-Pressure Ventilators
• Early negative-pressure ventilators were
known as “iron lungs.”
• The patient’s body was encased in an iron
cylinder and negative pressure was generated
• The iron lung are still occasionally used
today.
4
6. • Intermittent short-term negative-pressure
ventilation is sometimes used in patients with
chronic diseases.
• The use of negative-pressure ventilators is
restricted in clinical practice, however, because they
limit positioning and movement and they lack
adaptability to large or small body torsos (chests) .
• Our focus will be on the positive-pressure
ventilators.

35. MECHANICAL VENTILATOR
• A mechanical ventilator is a machine that
generates a controlled flow of gas into a
patient’s airways. Oxygen and air are received
from cylinders or wall outlets, the gas is
pressure reduced and blended according to
the prescribed inspired oxygen tension (FiO2),
accumulated in a receptacle within the
machine, and delivered to the patient using
one of many available modes of ventilation.
35
36. Types of Mechanical ventilators
• Transport ventilators
• Intensive-care ventilators
• Neonatal ventilators
• Positive airway pressure ventilators for NIV
36
37. Classification of positive-pressure ventilators
• Ventilators are classified according to how the
inspiratory phase ends. The factor which terminates
the inspiratory cycle reflects the machine type.
• They are classified as:
1- Pressure cycled ventilator
2- Volume cycled ventilator
3- Time cycled ventilator
37
38. 1- Volume-cycled ventilator
• Inspiration is terminated after a preset tidal
volume has been delivered by the ventilator.
• The ventilator delivers a preset tidal volume
(VT), and inspiration stops when the preset
tidal volume is achieved.
38
39. 2- Pressure-cycled ventilator
• In which inspiration is terminated when a
specific airway pressure has been reached.
• The ventilator delivers a preset pressure;
once this pressure is achieved, end
inspiration occurs.
39
40. 3- Time-cycled ventilator
• In which inspiration is terminated when a
preset inspiratory time, has elapsed.
• Time cycled machines are not used in adult
critical care settings. They are used in
pediatric intensive care areas.

41. Mechanical Ventilators
Different Types of Ventilators Available:
Will depend on your place of employment
Ventilators in use in MCH
Servo S by Maquet
Savina by Drager
45. Ventilator mode
• The way the machine ventilates the patient
• How much the patient will participate in his
own ventilatory pattern.
• Each mode is different in determining how
much work of breathing the patient has to
do.
45
46. A- Volume Modes
• 1. CMV or CV
• 2. AMV or AV
• 3. IMV
• 4. SIMV
46
48. Control Mode
Delivers pre-set volumes at a pre-set rate and
a pre-set flow rate.
The patient CANNOT generate spontaneous
breaths, volumes, or flow rates in this mode.
50. Assist/Control Mode
•Delivers pre-set volumes at a pre-set
rate and a pre-set flow rate.
•The patient CANNOT generate
spontaneous volumes, or flow rates in
this mode.
•Each patient generated respiratory effort
over and above the set rate are delivered
at the set volume and flow rate.
51. Assist Control
• Volume or Pressure control mode
• Parameters to set:
– Volume or pressure
– Rate
– I – time
– FiO2
51
52. Assist Control
• Machine breaths:
– Delivers the set volume or pressure
• Patient’s spontaneous breath:
– Ventilator delivers full set volume or pressure &
I-time
• Mode of ventilation provides the most
support
52
54. SYCHRONIZED INTERMITTENT
MANDATORY VENTILATION
(SIMV):
Delivers a pre-set number of breaths at a
set volume and flow rate.
Allows the patient to generate
spontaneous breaths, volumes, and flow
rates between the set breaths.
Detects a patient’s spontaneous breath
attempt and doesn’t initiate a ventilatory
breath – prevents breath stacking
55. SIMV
Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation
• Machine breaths:
– Delivers the set volume or pressure
• Patient’s spontaneous breath:
– Set pressure support delivered
• Mode of ventilation provides moderate amount of
support
• Works well as weaning mode
55
59. PRESSURE REGULATED VOLUME
CONTROL (PRVC):
• This is a volume targeted, pressure limited
mode. (available in SIMV or AC)
• Each breath is delivered at a set volume with
a variable flow rate and an absolute pressure
limit.
• The vent delivers this pre-set volume at the
LOWEST required peak pressure and adjust
with each breath.
59
60. PRVC (Pressure regulated volume control)
A control mode, which delivers a set tidal volume
with each breath at the lowest possible peak
pressure.
Delivers the breath with a decelerating flow
pattern that is thought to be less injurious to the
lung…… “the guided hand”.
60
61. PRCV: Advantages
Decelerating inspiratory flow pattern
Pressure automatically adjusted for changes in
compliance and resistance within a set range
Tidal volume guaranteed
Limits volutrauma
Prevents hypoventilation
61
65. POSITIVE END EXPIRATORY PRESSURE
(PEEP):
• This is NOT a specific mode, but is rather an
adjunct to any of the vent modes.
• PEEP is the amount of pressure remaining in
the lung at the END of the expiratory phase.
• Utilized to keep otherwise collapsing lung
units open while hopefully also improving
oxygenation.
• Usually, 5-10 cmH2O
65
67. Pplat
• Measured by occluding the ventilator 3-5 sec at
the end of inspiration
• Should not exceed 30 cmH2O
67
68. Peak Pressure (Ppeak)
• Ppeak = Pplat + Pres
Where Pres reflects the resistive element of
the respiratory system (ET tube and airway)
68
69. Ppeak
• Pressure measured at the end of inspiration
• Should not exceed 50cmH2O?
69
70. Auto-PEEP or Intrinsic PEEP
– Normally, at end expiration, the lung volume is
equal to the FRC
– When PEEPi occurs, the lung volume at end
expiration is greater than the FRC
70
71. Auto-PEEP or Intrinsic PEEP
• Why does hyperinflation occur?
– Airflow limitation because of dynamic collapse
– No time to expire all the lung volume (high RR or
Vt)
– Decreased Expiratory muscle activity
– Lesions that increase expiratory resistance
71
72. Auto-PEEP or Intrinsic PEEP
• Adverse effects:
– Predisposes to barotrauma
– Predisposes hemodynamic compromises
– Diminishes the efficiency of the force generated by
respiratory muscles
– Augments the work of breathing
– Augments the effort to trigger the ventilator
72
73. • This is a mode and simply means that a pre-set
pressure is present in the circuit and lungs
throughout both the inspiratory and
expiratory phases of the breath.
• CPAP serves to keep alveoli from collapsing,
resulting in better oxygenation and less WOB.
• The CPAP mode is very commonly used as a
mode to evaluate the patients readiness for
extubation.
73
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
(CPAP):
74. Combination “Dual Control” Modes
Combination or “dual control” modes combine features
of pressure and volume targeting to accomplish
ventilatory objectives which might remain unmet by
either used independently.
Combination modes are pressure targeted
Partial support is generally provided by pressure support
Full support is provided by Pressure Control
74
75. Combination “Dual Control” Modes
Volume Assured Pressure Support
(Pressure Augmentation)
Volume Support
(Variable Pressure Support)
Pressure Regulated Volume Control
(Variable Pressure Control, or Autoflow)
Airway Pressure Release
(Bi-Level, Bi-PAP)
75
76. • Inverse ratio ventilation (IRV) mode reverses this
ratio so that inspiratory time is equal to, or longer
than, expiratory time (1:1 to 4:1).
• Inverse I:E ratios are used in conjunction with
pressure control to improve oxygenation by
expanding stiff alveoli by using longer distending
times, thereby providing more opportunity for gas
exchange and preventing alveolar collapse.
76
77. • As expiratory time is decreased, one must monitor
for the development of hyperinflation or auto-PEEP.
Regional alveolar overdistension and
barotrauma may occur owing to excessive total
PEEP.
• When the PCV mode is used, the mean airway and
intrathoracic pressures rise, potentially resulting in
a decrease in cardiac output and oxygen delivery.
Therefore, the patient’s hemodynamic status must
be monitored closely.
• Used to limit plateau pressures that can cause
barotrauma & Severe ARDS
77
79. HIFI - Theory
• Resonant frequency phenomena:
– Lungs have a natural resonant frequency
– Outside force used to overcome airway resistance
• Use of high velocity inspiratory gas flow:
reduction of effective dead space
• Increased bulk flow: secondary to active
expiration
79
80. HIFI - Advantages
• Advantages:
– Decreased barotrauma / volutrauma: reduced swings
in pressure and volume
– Improve V/Q matching: secondary to different flow
delivery characteristics
• Disadvantages:
– Greater potential of air trapping
– Hemodynamic compromise
– Physical airway damage: necrotizing tracheobronchitis
– Difficult to suction
– Often require paralysis
80
81. HIFI – Clinical Application
• Adjustable Parameters
– Mean Airway Pressure: usually set 2-4 higher
than MAP on conventional ventilator
– Amplitude: monitor chest rise
– Hertz: number of cycles per second
– FiO2
– I-time: usually set at 33%

84. INITIAL SETTINGS
84
• Select your mode of ventilation
• Set sensitivity at Flow trigger mode
• Set Tidal Volume
• Set Rate
• Set Inspiratory Flow (if necessary)
• Set PEEP
• Set Pressure Limit
• Inspiratory time
• Fraction of inspired oxygen
85. Trigger
There are two ways to initiate a ventilator-delivered
breath: pressure triggering or flow-by triggering
When pressure triggering is used, a ventilator-delivered
breath is initiated if the demand valve senses a negative
airway pressure deflection (generated by the patient
trying to initiate a breath) greater than the trigger
sensitivity.
When flow-by triggering is used, a continuous flow of gas
through the ventilator circuit is monitored. A ventilator-delivered
breath is initiated when the return flow is less
than the delivered flow, a consequence of the patient's
effort to initiate a breath 85
86. Post Initial Settings
86
• Obtain an ABG (arterial blood gas) about 30
minutes after you set your patient up on
the ventilator.
• An ABG will give you information about any
changes that may need to be made to keep
the patient’s oxygenation and ventilation
status within a physiological range.
88. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings
– Tidal Volume
• Spontaneous VT for an adult is 5 – 7 ml/kg of IBW
Determining VT for Ventilated Patients
• A range of 6 – 12 ml/kg IBW is used for adults
– 10 – 12 ml/kg IBW (normal lung function)
– 8 – 10 ml/kg IBW (obstructive lung disease)
– 6 – 8 ml/kg IBW (ARDS) – can be as low as 4 ml/kg
• A range of 5 – 10 ml/kg IBW is used for infants and
children
88
89. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings
– Respiratory Rate
• Normal respiratory rate is 12-18
breaths/min.
• A range of 8 – 12 breaths per minute (BPM)
Rates should be adjusted to try and minimize auto-
PEEP
89
90. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings
– Minute Ventilation
• Respiratory rate is chosen in conjunction with tidal
volume to provide an acceptable minute ventilation
= VT x f
• Normal minute ventilation is 5-10 L/min
• Estimated by using 100 mL/kg IBW
• ABG needed to assess effectiveness of initial settings
– If PaCO2 >45 ( minute ventilation via f or VT)
– If PaCO2 <35 ( minute ventilation via f or VT)
90
91. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings
– Inspiratory Flow
• Rate of Gas Flow
– As a beginning point, flow is normal set to deliver
inspiration in about 1 second (range 0.8 to 1.2 sec.),
producing an I:E ratio of approximately 1:2 or less (usually
about 1:4)
– This can be achieved with an initial peak flow of about 60
L/min (range of 40 to 80 L/min)
Most importantly, flows are set to meet a patient’s inspiratory
demand

93. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
– Flow Patterns
• Selection of flow pattern and flow rate may depend on
the patient’s lung condition, e.g.,
– Post – operative patient recovering from anesthesia
may have very modest flow demands
– Young adult with pneumonia and a strong
hypoxemic drive would have very strong flow
demands
– Normal lungs: Not of key importance
93
94. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings
– Flow Pattern
• Constant Flow (rectangular or square waveform)
– Generally provides the shortest TI
– Some clinician choose to use a constant (square) flow
pattern initially because it enables them to obtain baseline
measurements of lung compliance and airway resistance
94
95. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
– Flow Pattern
• Sine Flow
– May contribute to a more even distribution of gas in the
lungs
– Peak pressures and mean airway pressure are about the
same for sine and square wave patterns
95
96. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings
– Flow Pattern
• Descending (decelerating) Ramp
– Improves distribution of ventilation, results in a longer TI,
decreased peak pressure, and increased mean airway
pressure (which increases oxygenation)
96
97. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings
– Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
• Initially set at 3 – 5 cm H2O
– Restores FRC and physiological PEEP that existed prior
to intubation
– Subsequent changes are based on ABG results
• Useful to treat refractory hypoxemia
• Contraindications for therapeutic PEEP (>5 cm H2O)
– Hypotension
– Elevated ICP
– Uncontrolled pneumothorax
97
99. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
– FiO2 of 40% or Same FiO2 prior to mechanical
ventilation
• Patients with mild hypoxemia or normal
cardiopulmonary function
–Drug overdose
–Uncomplicated postoperative recovery
99
100. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings For PCV
– Rate, TI, and I:E ratio are set in PCV as they are
in Volume mode
– The pressure gradient (PIP-PEEP) is adjusted to
establish volume delivery
Remember: Volume delivery changes as lung
characteristics change and can vary breath to
breath
100
101. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings For PCV
– Flow Pattern
• PCV provides a descending ramp
waveform
Note: The patient can vary the
inspiratory flow on demand
101
102. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
• Initial Ventilator Settings For PCV
– Rise Time (slope, flow acceleration)
• Rise time is the amount of TI it takes for the
ventilator to reach the set pressure at the beginning
of inspiration
• Inspiratory flow delivery during PCV can be adjusted
with an inspiratory rise time control
• Ventilator graphics can be used to set the rise time
102
103. ● Sigh
• A deep breath.
• A breath that has a greater volume than the tidal volume.
• It provides hyperinflation and prevents atelectasis.
• Sigh volume :------------------Usual volume is 1.5 –2 times tidal
volume.
• Sigh rate/ frequency :---------Usual rate is 4 to 8 times per
hour.
103
104. Ensuring humidification and
thermoregulation
• All air delivered by the ventilator passes through the water
in the humidifier, where it is warmed and saturated or
through an HME filter
• Humidifier temperatures should be kept close to body
temperature 35 ºC- 37ºC.
• In some rare instances (severe hypothermia), the air
temperatures can be increased.
• The humidifier should be checked for adequate water levels
104
105. Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation

110
112. Trouble Shooting the Vent
• Common problems
– High peak pressures
– Patient with COPD
– Ventilator asynchrony
– ARDS
112
113. Trouble Shooting the Vent
• If peak pressures are increasing:
– Check plateau pressures by allowing for an
inspiratory pause (this gives you the pressure in
the lung itself without the addition of resistance)
– If peak pressures are high and plateau pressures
are low then you have an obstruction
– If both peak pressures and plateau pressures are
high then you have a lung compliance issue
113
114. Trouble Shooting the Vent
• High peak pressure differential:
114
High Peak Pressures
Low Plateau Pressures
High Peak Pressures
High Plateau Pressures
Mucus Plug ARDS
Bronchospasm Pulmonary Edema
ET tube blockage Pneumothorax
Biting ET tube migration to a single bronchus
Effusion
115. COPD
• If you have a patient with history of COPD/asthma with worsening
oxygen saturation and increasing hypercapnia differential includes:
– Must be concern with breath stacking or auto- PEEP
– Low VT with increased exhalation time is advisable
• Baseline ABGs reflect an elevated PaCO2 should not hyperventilated.
Instead, the goal should be restoration of the baseline PaCO2.
• These patients usually have a large carbonic acid load, and lowering
their carbon dioxide levels rapidly may result in seizures.
115
116. COPD and Asthma
• Goals:
– Diminish dynamic hyperinflation
– Diminish work of breathing
– Controlled hypoventilation (permissive
hypercapnia)
116
117. Trouble Shooting the Vent
• Increase in patient agitation and dis-synchrony
on the ventilator:
– Could be secondary to overall discomfort
• Increase sedation
– Could be secondary to feelings of air hunger
• Options include increasing tidal volume, increasing flow
rate, adjusting I:E ratio, increasing sedation
117
118. Trouble shooting the vent
• If you are concern for acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS)
– Correlate clinically with radiologic findings of
diffuse patchy infiltrate on CXR
– Obtain a PaO2/FiO2 ratio (if < 200 likely ARDS)
– Begin ARDSnet protocol:
• Low tidal volumes
• Increase PEEP rather than FiO2
• Consider increasing sedation to promote synchrony
with ventilator
118
119. Accidental Extubation
• Role of the Nurse:
– Ensure the Ambu bag is attached to the
oxygen flowmeter and it is on!
– Attach the face mask to the Ambu bag and
after ensuring a good seal on the patient’s
face; supply the patient with ventilation.
119
120. Pulmonary Disease: Obstructive
Airway obstruction causing increase resistance to airflow: e.g.
asthma
• Optimize expiratory time by minimizing minute ventilation
• Bag slowly after intubation
• Don’t increase ventilator rate for increased CO2
120
122. In a patient with head injury,
• Respiratory alkalosis may be required to promote
cerebral vasoconstriction, with a resultant decrease
in ICP.
• In this case, the tidal volume and respiratory rate
are increased
( hyperventilation) to achieve the desired alkalotic
pH by manipulating the PaCO2.
122
126. WHAT IS SUCTIONING?.....
The patient with an artificial
airway is not capable of effectively
coughing, the mobilization of
secretions from the trachea must be
facilitated by aspiration. This is
called as suctioning.
127. Indications
Coarse breath sounds
Noisy breathing
Visible secretions in the airway
Decreased SpO2 in the pulse oximeter & Deterioration of
arterial blood gas values
Clinically increased work of breathing
Changes in monitored flow/pressure graphics
Increased PIP; decreased Vt during ventilation
128. NECESSARY EQUIPMENT
Vaccum source with adjustable regulator
suction jar
stethoscope
Sterile gloves for open suctioning method
Clean gloves for closed suctioning method
Sterile catheter
Clear protective goggles, apron & mask
Sterile normal saline
Bain’s circuit or ambu bag for
preoxygenate the patient
Suction tray with hot water for flushing
130. OPEN SUCTION SYSTEM:
Regularly using system in the intubated
patients.
CLOSED SUCTION SYSTEM:
This is used to facilitate continuous
mechanical ventilation and oxygenation during
the suctioning.
Closed suctioning is also indicated when PEEP
level above 10cmH2O.
131. Patient Preparation
Explain the procedure to the patient (If
patient is concious).
The patient should receive hyper
oxygenation by the delivery of 100%
oxygen for >30 seconds prior to the
suctioning (by increasing the FiO2 by
mechanical ventilator).
Position the patient in supine position.
Auscultate the breath sounds.
132. PROCEDURE
Perform hand hygiene, wash
hands. It reduces transmission
of microorganisms.
Turn on suction apparatus and
set vacuum regulator to
appropriate negative pressure.
For adult a pressure of 100-120
mmHg, 80-100mmhg for
children & 60-80mmhg for
infants.
133. Continue…..
Goggles, mask & apron should be worn
to prevent splash from secretions
Preoxygenate with 100% O2
Open the end of the suction catheter
package & connect it to suction tubing
(If you are alone)
Wear sterile gloves with sterile
technique
With a help of an assistant open suction
catheter package & connect it to suction
tubing
134. Continue…..
With a help of an assistant disconnect
the ventilator
Kink the suction tube & insert the
catheter in to the ETtube until resistance
is felt
Resistance is felt when the catheter
impacts the carina or bronchial mucosa,
the suction catheter should be
withdrawn 1cm out before applying
suction
135. Continue.....
Apply continuous suction while rotating
the suction catheter during removal
The duration of each suctioning should
be less the 15sec.
Instill 3 to 5ml of sterile normal saline in
to the artificial airway, if required
Assistant resumes the ventilator
Give four to five manual breaths with
bag or ventilator
136. Continue…..
Continue making suction passes, bagging patient between
passes, until clear of secretions, but no more than four
passes
Return patient to ventilator
Flush the catheter with hot water in the suction tray
Suction nares & oropharynx above the artificial airway
Discard used equipments
Flush the suction tube with hot water
Auscultate chest
Wash hands
Document including indications for suctioning & any
changes in vitals & patient’s tolerance
137. Closed suctioning procedure
Wash hands
Wear clean gloves
Connect tubing to closed suction
port
Pre-oxygenate the patient with
100% O2
Gently insert catheter tip into
artificial airway without applying
suction, stop if you met resistance
or when patient starts coughing and
pull back 1cm out
139. Continue…..
Place the dominant thumb over
the control vent of the suction
port, applying continuous or
intermittent suction for no more
than 10 sec as you withdraw the
catheter into the sterile sleeve of
the closed suction device
Repeat steps above if needed
Clean suction catheter with sterile
saline until clear; being careful not
to instill solution into the ETtube
Suction oropharynx above the
artificial airway
Wash hands
140. ASSESSMENT OF OUTCOME
Improvement in breath sounds.
Decreased peak inspiratory pressure;
Increased tidal volume delivery during
ventilation.
Improvement in arterial blood gas values or
saturation as reflected by pulse oximetry.
(SpO2)
Removal of pulmonary secretions.
141. CONTRAINDICATIONS
Most contraindications are relative to the patient's
risk of developing adverse reactions or worsening
clinical condition as result of the procedure.
Suctioning is contraindicated when there is fresh
bleeding.
When indicated, there is no absolute
contraindication to endotracheal suctioning
because the decision to abstain from suctioning in
order to avoid a possible adverse reaction may, in
fact, be lethal.
142. LIMITATIONS OF METHOD
Suctioning is potentially an harmful procedure
if carriedout improperly.
Suctioning should be done when clinically
necessary (not routinely).
The need for suctioning should be assessed at
least every 2hrs or more frequently as need
arises.

information to family
12- Responding to ventilator alarms
/Troublshooting ventilator alarms
13- Prevent nosocomial infection
14- Documentation
151
152. Responding To Alarms
• If an alarm sounds, respond immediately because
the problem could be serious.
• Assess the patient first, while you silence the alarm.
• If you can not quickly identify the problem, take the
patient off the ventilator and ventilate him with a
resuscitation bag connected to oxygen source until
the physician arrives.
• A nurse or respiratory therapist must respond to
every ventilator alarm.
152
153. • Alarms must never be ignored or
disarmed.
• Ventilator malfunction is a potentially
serious problem. Nursing or respiratory
therapists perform ventilator checks
every 2 to 4 hours, and recurrent alarms
may alert the clinician to the possibility
of an equipment-related issue.
153
154. • When device malfunction is suspected,
a second person manually ventilates the
patient while the nurse or therapist
looks for the cause.
• If a problem cannot be promptly
corrected by ventilator adjustment, a
different machine is procured so the
ventilator in question can be taken out
of service for analysis and repair by
technical staff.
154
156. Weaning readiness Criteria
• Awake and alert
• Hemodynamically stable, adequately resuscitated,
and not requiring vasoactive support
• Arterial blood gases (ABGs) normalized or at
patient’s baseline
- PaCO2 acceptable
- PH of 7.35 – 7.45
- PaO2 > 60 mm Hg ,
- SaO2 >92%
- FIO2 ≤40%
156
157. • Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ≤5
cm H2O
• F < 25 / minute
• Vt 5 ml / kg
• VE 5- 10 L/m (f x Vt)
• VC > 10- 15 ml / kg
157
158. • Chest x-ray reviewed for correctable factors;
treated as indicated,
• Major electrolytes within normal range,
• Hematocrit >25%,
• Core temperature >36°C and <39°C,
• Adequate management of
pain/anxiety/agitation,
• Adequate analgesia/ sedation (record scores
on flow sheet),

158
160. 1- T-Piece trial
• It consists of removing the patient from the
ventilator and having him / her breathe
spontaneously on a T-tube connected to oxygen
source.
• During T-piece weaning, periods of ventilator
support are alternated with spontaneous breathing.
• The goal is to progressively increase the time spent
off the ventilator.
160
161. 2-Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory
Ventilation ( SIMV) Weaning
• SIMV is the most common method of weaning.
• It consists of gradually decreasing the number of
breaths delivered by the ventilator to allow the
patient to increase number of spontaneous breaths
161
162. 3-Continuous Positive Airway Pressure ( CPAP)
Weaning
• When placed on CPAP, the patient does all the work
of breathing without the aid of a back up rate or
tidal volume.
• No mandatory (ventilator-initiated) breaths are
delivered in this mode i.e. all ventilation is
spontaneously initiated by the patient.
• Weaning by gradual decrease in pressure value
162
163. 4- Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) Weaning
• The patient must initiate all pressure support breaths.
• During weaning using the PSV mode the level of pressure
support is gradually decreased based on the patient
maintaining an adequate tidal volume (8 to 12 mL/kg) and a
respiratory rate of less than 25 breaths/minute.
• PSV weaning is indicated for :-
- Difficult to wean patients
- Small spontaneous tidal volume.
163
164. Role of nurse before weaning:-
1- Ensure that indications for the implementation of
Mechanical ventilation have improved
2- Ensure that all factors that may interfere with successful
weaning are corrected:-
- Acid-base abnormalities
- Fluid imbalance
- Electrolyte abnormalities
- Infection
- Fever
- Anemia
- Hyperglycemia
- Sleep deprivation
164
165. Role of nurse before weaning:-
3- Assess readiness for weaning
4- Ensure that the weaning criteria / parameters are
met.
5- Explain the process of weaning to the patient and
offer reassurance to the patient.
6- Initiate weaning in the morning when the patient is
rested.
7- Elevate the head of the bed & Place the patient
upright
8- Ensure a patent airway and suction if necessary
before a weaning trial,
165
166. Role of nurse before weaning:-
9 - Provide for rest period on ventilator for 15 – 20
minutes after suctioning.
10- Ensure patient’s comfort & administer
pharmacological agents for comfort, such as
bronchodilators or sedatives as indicated.
11- Help the patient through some of the
discomfort and apprehension.
13- Evaluate and document the patient’s
response to weaning.
166
167. Role of nurse during weaning:-
1-Wean only during the day.
2- Remain with the patient during
initiation of weaning.
3- Instruct the patient to relax and breathe
normally.
4- Monitor the respiratory rate, vital signs,
ABGs, diaphoresis and use of accessory
muscles frequently.
If signs of fatigue or respiratory distress develop.
• Discontinue weaning trials.
167
168. Signs of Weaning Intolerance Criteria
• Diaphoresis
• Dyspnea & Labored respiratory pattern
• Increased anxiety ,Restlessness, Decrease in level of
consciousness
• Dysrhythmia,Increase or decrease in heart rate of >
20 beats /min. or heart rate > 110b/m,Sustained
heart rate >20% higher or lower than baseline
168
169. Signs of Weaning Intolerance Criteria
Increase or decrease in blood pressure of > 20 mm Hg
Systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg or <90 mm Hg
• Increase in respiratory rate of > 10 above baseline
or > 30

breaths/minute
• Tidal volume ≤5 mL/kg, Sustained minute
ventilation <200 mL/kg/minute
• SaO2 < 90%, PaO2 < 60 mmHg, decrease in PH of <
7.35.
Increase in PaCO2

170. Role of nurse after weaning
1- Ensure that extubation criteria are
met .
2- Decanulate or extubate
2- Documentation

171. Noninvasive Bilateral Positive
Airway Pressure Ventilation (BiPAP)
• BiPAP is a noninvasive form of mechanical
ventilation provided by means of a nasal mask or
nasal prongs, or a full-face mask.
• The system allows the clinician to select two levels
of positive-pressure support:
• An inspiratory pressure support level (referred to as
IPAP)
• An expiratory pressure called EPAP (PEEP/CPAP
level).
171
175. Patient interfaces
• full face masks,
• nasal pillows,
• Nasal masks
• and orofacial masks
175
176. Ventilators
• Usual ventilators for invasive ventilation
• Special noninvasive ventilators
• Modes of ventilation
• CPAP
• BiPAP
