Patient Ventilator Synchrony
• Mechanical ventilation modes that permit spontaneous ventilatory activity are called “interactive” modes.
• Patient/ ventilator interaction includes:– Simple triggering of mandatory breaths
– Processes affecting delivered flow patterns during inspiratory phase
– Breath timing
– Spontaneous breathing
![Page 6: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Patient Ventilator Interaction
• Synchronous patient - ventilator interactions reflect that the ventilator is sensitive to the initiation, response (breath delivery) and termination of the patients ventilatory effort
• Dysynchronous (asynchronous) patient ventilator interactions occur when the ventilator fails to adequately respond to the patients ventilatory needs & or breathing pattern

Evidence: Prevalence of Patient Ventilator Asynchrony
• CHEST Aug 1994
• Voran, Joseph
• Baylor College of Medicine, Houston TX
![Page 9: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Prevalence of Patient Ventilator Asynchrony
• Methods: 30 patients requiring mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure admitted to the MICU
• Exclusion Criteria: patients under neuromuscular blockade, heavy sedation, drug overdose, or with hemodynamic instability
![Page 10: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Prevalence of Patient Ventilator Asynchrony in Critically Ill Patients
• Methodology:– Asynchrony index determined comparing the number
of synchronous breaths versus the number of asynchronous breaths for each ventilated patient in the study
– Data presented at CHEST 1994
– Note: these patients had cuffed ETT or Tracheostomy tubes with inflated cuffs. Imagine the potential for asynchrony in the home with leaks in the airway & etc.
![Page 11: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prevalence of Patient Ventilator Asynchrony in Critically Ill Patients
• Asynchrony index: – All but one patient had asynchronous breaths– Mean asynchrony Index (% of breaths that were
asynchronous) was 36.4% (median 30.6%)– Mortality significantly higher in those patients with
higher A.I. (statistically significant)• Patient/Ventilator Asynchrony can cause poor outcome • In the Home, Pt/ Vent asynchrony could cause poor
outcome and can cause demand on our delivery systems (e.g. Frequent calls for RT to come assess; trips to the ER, etc)
![Page 12: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Difficulty Triggering a Breath
• Symptoms:– Patient agitation– Increased respiratory rate– Sub & or supra sternal retractions– Intercostal retractions– Negative deflection of manometer needle– Paradoxical breathing movement compared to
the ventilator
![Page 13: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Difficulty Triggering
• Possible causes:– Maladjusted sensitivity– Excessive Leak (airway or ventilator circuit)– Plumbing Problems:
• HME saturates
• Water in circuit
• Filter resistance too high
– Auto PEEP
![Page 14: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HME Resistance
• HME’s & Filters can become saturated and cause increased resistance
• Roger Smith, RRT, et.al found a 17 cmH2O increase (21-38) in PAP on a pt due to the HME. (2006 Open forum)
• “Clinicians must always be aware that, although not proven by this study, humidity may play a role in HME performance. Airway secretions and/or blood impacted against the HME may very likely cause resultant increases in PAP and are examples of HME’s limitations.”

ESENS Sensitivityaka: Termination sens. (PSV%) or Insp Cycle Off
• Alters the flow termination criteria for spontaneous breaths in Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV)– sets the percentage of peak flow that cycles breath
into exhalation:• set to match the patients breathing pattern• adjust breath transition point due to a leak• may improve synchrony of spontaneous breath transition
(inspiration to expiration phase)• Very useful adjustment when leaks are present

Tube Compensation (AAC, ATC, TC)
• Spontaneous Breath type enhancement
• Assists Patient’s spontaneous breath by delivering positive pressure proportional to the inspired flow to overcome the resistance of the artificial airway
![Page 35: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Tube Compensation/ Automatic Airway Compensation
• Enter size (ID) of artificial airway• Enter airway length (or Type- ETT or
Trach Tube)• Ventilator measures inspiratory effort (flow) and
proportionally assists the breath to negate the resistance/ work imposed by the artificial airway
• Some vents allow PSV to supplement AAC
![Page 36: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

VS= Volume Constant “Dual Mode” Breath Types - Spontaneous Breaths
• Similar in function to mandatory breath types, except that patient drive controls inspiratory time
• They target either tidal volume (VS) or minute volume (MMV or ASV) preset by the clinician
• Pressure rises or falls to maintain the set volume targets
![Page 40: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Home Ventilator Wish List
• Goals of Volume targeted/ pressure control breaths (VTPCV)– Improve patient comfort:
• Try to take advantages of benefits of volume & PCV breath types combined
• Flow match patient’s inspiratory flow demands
• Minimize peak airway pressure
• Allow active breathing throughout the inspiratory phase
![Page 43: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Volume Control +
• VC+ (PRVC; V sync; Autoflow) – Pressure Control Breath type with Volume Guarantee
• Ventilator initiates test breath (compliance estimated)• delivers next breath at calculated pressure necessary to achieve
target VT• ensuing breaths, pressure is increased or decreased to reach
volume target (most ventilators allow no greater than 3 cmH2O step change per breath)
• Patient determines peak inspiratory flow during each breath (as in PCV)
• Usually available in Assist Control or SIMV modes• Vti vary somewhat breath to breath from target VT• Leaks may cause problems with the ventilator’s logic
![Page 44: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Proportional Assist Ventilation
• What is the PAV+?
• A new spontaneous breath type (Tube Compensation (TC) PLUS augmentation/ amplification of the patient’s own respiratory effort
• Enhanced monitoring capabilities
• Enhanced graphic displays
![Page 45: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
“PAV is the only mode of ventilation designed on a physiological basis where
the technical solutions offered by ventilators did not come first…it allows the patient to attain whatever ventilation
and breathing pattern that best fits the ventilatory control center” –
[N. Ambrosino Thorax. 2002; 57:272-276]
Literature on PAV
![Page 46: Home Care/ Ventilatory Support for the Spontaneous Breathing Patient Bill Lamb, BS, RRT, CPFT, RCP Director of Clinical Services, Bemes Home Medical, Inc](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/56649ea35503460f94ba803f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
How does PAV+ Work?
• A spontaneous breath type (the patient MUST be breathing; apnea back up is active)
• Measures flow and volume every 5 ms• Measures compliance and resistance every 4-10
breaths• Instantaneous measurement of flow is an indicator of
patient’s effort• The measurements of R and C allow the ventilator to
compute the pressure needed in relation to the patient’s breathing effort and the % Support Pressure (Proportional Assist) set by the clinician

PAV+
• The patient is proportionally supported in all conditions, thereby controlling and limiting patient work.
• Support increases as demand increases.
• Under ideal PAV+ conditions, the patient controls all facets of his or her inspiration.
• Indeed, the patient is in control.

Research
• Duke University– Pig study– Compared work of breathing of CPAP and PS
versus PAV

Hypothesis
PAV will require less inspiratory work in spontaneously breathing animals with high respiratory drives as compared to pressure targeted forms of partial ventilatory support.

Physiologic Response of Ventilator-dependent Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease to Proportional
Assist Ventilation and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
• 8 COPD patients• Average vent time 41+/- 26 days• Compared CPAP vs. PAV• Conclusion: We conclude that in difficult-to-wean COPD
patients, (1) PAV improves ventilation and reduces both P 0.1 and inspiratory muscle effort; (2) the combination of PAV and CPAP can unload the inspiratory muscles to values close to those found in normal subjects.

Summary
• Patient Ventilator Synchrony is very important to support the spontaneously breathing patient
• Stabilize the patient on the Homecare Vent while still in the acute care setting.
• Access to ventilator graphics very useful.• Patient assessment and Application of appropriate
settings (flow sensitivity, rise time, e sens, TC, VS, PAV+) may improve patient comfort & potential outcome
• Know your Ventilator; Know your Patient; Know your graphics monitoring!
