The Role of the VDR Ventilator
OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES
• Describe how the VDR was chosen for Legacy Emanuel Hospital and it’s use in various ICU’s
• Review the HFPV wave forms
• Describe the potential advantages of the Percussive form of High Frequency Ventilation
• Discuss ECMO applications
How did it’s use expand ?

Where the Percussionaire Devices Originated
What is a VDR?
• -High Frequency Percussive Ventilation (HFPV) is a hybrid form of high frequency ventilation.
• It is a combination of convective style ventilation and percussive high frequency linked together.
VDR waveform• Capnography
– Muscle relaxants (curare cleft)
Translation
• Dr Bird says -
“This concept of pneumatic diffusive / convective protocols is not related to high frequency vibration, jet insufflation or electronically controlled crank or magnetically servoed dynamic oscillators.”
• Denny says –“High Frequency Percussive
Ventilations isn’t like the other types of High Frequency Ventilation”
High Frequency Ventilation
• Oscillator – 3100A & B
• Jet – Bunnell
• Flow Interrupter - VDR

ALL LISTED ORDERS ARE IN EFFECT UNLESS CROSSED OUT. EXCEPTIONS: ORDERS PRECEDED BY A BOX () REQUIRE A () TO INITIATE; ORDERS WITH BLANKS REQUIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO INITIATE.
ORDERS: ANOTHER BRAND OF GENERICALLY EQUIVALENT OR APPROVED THERAPEUTICALLY EQUIVALENT PRODUCT MAY BE ADMINISTERED UNLESS CHECKED
VDR Volumetric Diffusive Respirator
PRE-PRINTED ORDERS USE BALL POINT PEN, PRESS FIRMLY
Date: TIME:
Physician or Credentialed Provider’s signature: All Pre-Printed Orders must have a physician/credentialed provider’s signature to initiate.
Patient Selection: to previous level 1. It has been recommended that a leak around the endotracheal tube cuff be heard; however, this can
complicate CO2 control and may not be indicated with many patients.
2. Use of this device should be limited to patients with airway burn injury, excessive secretions or very narrowed airways.
Starting Settings:
Use the following settings when initiating VDR therapy.
Control Adult Pediatric
Operating Pressure 40-50psi 30-40psi
Pulsitile flowrate (PIP) 25 cm H20 25 cm H20
Inspiratory Time : Expiratory Time (seconds) IT=2sec:ET=2 sec IT=1sec:ET=1sec
Rate (product of I and E Time) 15 30
Pulse i:e Ratio set at 11 – routinely kept at this setting
Demand PEEP/CPAP Setting to 0-2 cmH20 (approx. 9 on knob)
Oscillatory PEEP setting for total PEEP of 10cmH2O. Measure at the top of the waveform during expiratory phase
Pulse Frequency at 500 breaths per minute
FIO2 – Begin at current FIO2 requirement or 100% if unknown
VDR Management
______Keep ABG’s in ordered range utilizing setting changes listed below.
Desired Blood Gas Change
Setting Change
Increase PaO2/SpO2 and decrease PCO2
Increase PIP with Pulsatile Flowrate Control
Increase Oxygenation if CO2 is in range
Increase FIO2 Increase Oscillatory CPAP/PEEP in 2cmH20 increments (maximum 20cmH20) Increase PIP with Pulsatile Flowrate Control
Decrease CO2 only Increase PIP with Pulsatile Flowrate Control If PIP is >50 cmH2O and Oxygenation in range, decrease Pulse Frequency
from 500 to 350. Do this with great caution as it may cause airway damage. If FIO2 requirement is low and CPAP level is high, patient may be
overdistended. Decrease Oscillatory CPAP levels 2cmH2O/hour. Monitor SpO2 for worsening oxygenation, and return to previous level CPAP.
Raise C02 with low PIP Decrease delta P by 1) lowering Pulsatile Flowrate if FIO2 requirement is <40% or 2) raising the oscillatory CPAP if FIO2 requirement is >40%
PEEP Level Displayed
Actual PEEP
1. Cuff leak – introduces a variable leak into the system, if adjusted appropriately pressure(s) at the distal end of the Endotracheal tube will be about 1/3 less than at the airway. Although it is important that a leak be present, it is not mandatory; but secretions m ay be more likely tocollect and dry at the distal end of the endotracheal tube and potentially, obstruct the airway. Having the cuff partially deflated brings the secretions into the patients m outh where they may be removed by oral suctioning. A cuff leak may com plicate CO2 managem ent by allowing varying amounts of CO2 to be removed.
2. Air trapping – The VDR is a high frequency ventilator with a passive expiratory phase, at 500 breaths per minute (8.3 Hz), it can be expected to cause a degree of air trapping. At higher frequencies, more air trapping will occur. It is recomm ended that the frequency be kept at 500 in m ost cases. Lowering the frequency results in larger, high frequency, tidal volume breaths and increased ventilation, but may cause airway damage if applied for extended periods of time.
3. PEEP- The PEEP level displayed is actually the peak pressure of the high frequency ventilation breaths generated during the expiratory phase. Actual PEEP level is approxim ately ½ the displayed PEEP level
4. Mechanical Deadspace – W ith a continuous leak around the endotracheal tube, mechanical deadspace (i.e. adapters, flex tubes) does not present a problem ; however when the leak is removed, m echanical deadspace should be assessed.
5. Monitoring – EtCO2 is not accurately reflected when there is a leak around the endotracheal tube or spontaneous breathing is allowed. A BG’s will be the standard method to determine CO2 levels.
6. The VDR circuit – Because the VDR introduces large am ounts of dry gas flow at the airway during inspiration, it is essential to maximize humidification. The nebulizer line (yellow) adapts to the hum idifier and then tees in to the circuit directly at the patient airway and m ust be kept running at all tim es. The second humidifer should have the accessory flow (green) adapted to the chamber and the other end attached to the distal end of the phasitron. Care m ust be taken to keep the pressure sensing line (Red tubing ) facing upw ard and frequent (q6) change of the in-line filter, to keep water out of the line. Suspending the Phasitron from above with the red tubing up is an excellent way of securing the device for clinical use.
7. Amplitude – Begin at 20-30 cm H20 on Proximal Airway Pressure manom eter. This will register approxim ately 30-45 cm H20 on the M onitron. Airway pressures on the Proximal Airway Pressure manometer are indicative of the pressures delivered to the distal airway (also affected by cuff leak).
8. Convective Pressure Rise – standard to leave off (turned fully clockwise). M ay use convective pressure rise for recruitment technique during initial settings. Care should be taken if percussive ventilation is an issue, as use of convective pressure rise will cause a decrease in the oscillatory effect.

The Phasitron®; The patient interface
Accelerating Laminar Flow

Inspired gas streams into the airways with high velocity, but low pressure.
The train of tiny tidal volumes moves high pO2 gas toward the alveoli, while CO2 is compressed against airway walls.
Patented Phasitron and Gas Flow
CO

It streams down the airways, splitting at bifurcations, always seeking the path of least
resistance in the centerof the airways.
1. Airways stay open at low Paw.
2. Exhaled gas swirls out along airway walls, facilitating mucociliary and CO2 clearance.
