Decelerating inspiratory flow waveform improves lung mechanics and gas exchange in patients on intermittent positive-pressure ventilation

Abstract: The effects of two inspiratory flow waveforms (WFs), decelerating and constant have been studied in 14 patients undergoing intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (IPPV). With tidal volume (VT), inspiratory time, inspiratory-expiratory (I/E) ratio and frequency being kept constant, the decelerating waveform produced statistically significant reduction of peak pressure, total respiratory resistance, work of inspiration, ratio of dead space to tidal volume (VD/VT) and alveolar-arterial gradient for oxygen (A-… Show more

“…Also, no differences were found in gas exchange and WOB between the two wave forms. The present results differ with those of AL SAADY and BENNETT [33], in which the decelerating wave flow pattern produced a significant increase in arterial oxygenation. The decelerating wave flow pattern may be more effective in patients with heterogeneous respiratory mechanics and prolonged alveolar time constants (i.e.…”

“…In a previous study, similar results were obtained by the present authors, by increasing the PIF during PSV, where the highest PIF did not further reduce the WOB and was associated with patient discomfort [36]. Both these studies suggest that there is a threshold of flow demand below which a lower flow rate increases the WOB and above which a further increase of flow rate is not beneficial and may be uncomfortable [33,35]. In the present study, only minor variations of PIFs were applied, according to clinical indications, and the authors did not find such a flow threshold, which would probably occur at a higher flow rate.…”

“…It delivers the preset VT with the lowest possible pressure. Unfortunately in our center we did not have such new mode in our anesthesia machine, so we adjusted the pressure manually to obtain the same volume as PCV-VG did.PCV generates a square pressure waveform with a decelerating inspiratory flow pattern which leads to a more even distribution of VT, recruitment of insufficiently ventilated lung units and oxygenation improvement 14,17,18). Additionally, the rapid alveolar inflation caused by the high initial flow rate in PCV can avoid regional overdistension and lead to better ventilation perfusion matching (19).…”

“…Basınç kontrollü ventilasyon (BKV) ise yoğun bakım ünitelerindeki hipoksik hastalarda özellikle acute Akut Sıkıntılı Solunum sendromu'nda (ARDS) gaz değişimini düzelttiği öne sürülen alternatif bir ventilasyon modudur (5). Basınç kontrollü ventilasyonda alveoller ve proksimal hava yolları arasındaki basınç farkının en fazla olduğu dönem inspiryumun başlangıcındadır.…”
