Abstract
Recent research results provide new incentives to recognize and prevent ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and create targeting schemes for new modes of mechanical ventilation. For example, minimization of breathing power, inspiratory power, and inspiratory pressure are the underlying goals of optimum targeting schemes used in the modes called adaptive support ventilation (ASV), adaptive ventilation mode 2 (AVM2), and MID-frequency ventilation (MFV). We describe the mathematical models underlying these targeting schemes and present theoretical analyses for minimizing tidal volume, tidal pressure (also known as driving pressure), or tidal power as functions of ventilatory frequency. To go beyond theoretical equations, these targeting schemes were compared in terms of expected tidal volumes using different patient models. Results indicate that at the same ventilation efficiency (same PaCO2 level), we expect tidal volume dosage in the range of 7.4 mL/kg (for ASV), 6.2 mL/kg (for AVM2), and 6.7 mL/kg (for MFV) for adult ARDS simulation. For a neonatal RDS model, we expect 5.5 mL/kg (for ASV), 4.6 mL/kg (for AVM2), and 4.5 (for MFV).
