‘Golden Hour’ Lung Protective Strategy from Birth • Proper pressures in the DR • Proper FiO2 in the DR (blended) • Surfactant in the DR • CPAP in the DR • Consistent CPAP in the NICU • Reduced SIMV in the NICU
good judgement informed jugement
Neo-Puff in the DR • manual ventilation of babies <30 weeks gest. • Used for all transport ventilation for all babies
Neo-Puff Infant Resuscitator • easy to use, • manually operated • gas-powered.
Controlled and Precise Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) The Neopuff™ Infant Resuscitator will inflate the baby’s lungs & provide optimum oxygenation by delivering consistent PIP with each breath, limiting the risks associated with under or over inflation at uncontrolled pressures. Consistent and Precise Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) The Neopuff™ Infant Resuscitator maintains Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) by providing a consistent PEEP throughout the resuscitation process.
The desired PIP is set by turning the inspiratory pressure control. The desired PEEP is set by adjusting the T-piece aperture.

TYPES OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION • negative pressure ventilation • positive pressure ventilation • high-frequency ventilation • non-invasive positive pressure ventilation
Outline • Respiratory mechanics and gas exchange • Factors affecting oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination during mechanical ventilation • Blood gas analysis • Ventilatory management: basics and specifics • High frequency ventilation: the basics
Overview • Mechanical ventilation is an integral part of neonatal intensive care, and has led to increased survival of neonates over the last 3 decades • Advances in knowledge of neonatal respiratory physiology have led to optimization of techniques and strategies • Conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) is most often used, despite the advent of HFV and SIMV
Overview • Respiratory failure in neonates has significant morbidity and mortality (although less than in the past) • Optimal ventilatory management will reduce the risk of chronic lung disease • Optimal ventilatory management should be individualized and be based upon the pathophysiology and certain basic concepts of mechanical ventilation
Concepts • Goal of mechanical ventilation: to improve gas exchange and to sustain life without inducing lung injury • Factors that should influence ventilator adjustment decisions: • Pulmonary mechanics • Gas exchange • Control of breathing • Lung injury
Pulmonary mechanics • Compliance • Property of distensibility of the lungs and chest wall • Change in volume per unit change in pressure • C = D Volume D Pressure • Neonatal lung • Normal 0.003-0.006 L/cm H2O • with RDS 0.0005-0.001 L/cm H2O
Pulmonary mechanics • Resistance: • inherent capacity of the air conducting system (airways and ETT) and tissues to resist airflow • Change in pressure per unit change in flow • R = D Pressure D Flow Total cross-sectional area of airways ResistanceLength of the airways Flow rate Density and viscosity of gas
Pulmonary mechanics • Location of airway resistance: 0 5 10 15 20 • Distal airways contribute less to resistance due to increased total cross-sectional area • Small ETT and high flow rates can increase resistance markedly Resistance Distal --> Airway Generation
Pulmonary mechanics • Laminar flow (Distal airways) • Driving pressure proportional to flow • R= 8 n l (n = viscosity ; l = length; r = radius) p r4 • Turbulent flow (Proximal airways) • Driving pressure proportional to square of flow • Reynolds number (Re) = 2 r V d (d = density) n
Pulmonary mechanics • A pressure gradient between the upper airway and alveoli is necessary for gas flow during inspiration and expiration • The pressure gradient is required to overcome the elasticity, resistance, and inertance of the respiratory system • Equation of motion: P = 1 V + R V + I V C Elasticity+Resistance+Inertance
Pulmonary mechanics • Time constant • The time taken for the airway pressure (and volume) changes to equilibrate throughout the lung is proportional to the compliance and resistance of the respiratory system • Time constant = Compliance x Resistance
Pulmonary mechanics 99 98 95 • % change in pressure in relation to time • Almost full equilibration: 3-5 time constants 100 86 80 63 Change in pressure (%) 60 40 20 0 1 2 3 4 5 Time constants
Pulmonary mechanics • Healthy term neonate: • C = 0.004 L/cm H2O; R = 30 cm H2O/L/sec • T = 0.004 x 30 = 0.12 sec • Time constants Time (sec) % equilibration 1 0.12 63 2 0.24 86 3 0.36 95 5 0.60 99 • RDS: Shorter time constant
Pulmonary mechanics • Application of the concept of time constant • Short TI : decreased tidal volume delivery • Inadequate TE: Gas trapping ( FRC, inadvertent PEEP) • Heterogeneous lung disease (BPD): different regions of the lung have different time constants; tendency for atelectasis and hyperexpansion to co-exist
Gas exchange • Total minute ventilation = tidal vol x freq • VE = VT x f • Alveolar ventilation (VA) = Useful (fresh gas) portion of minute ventilation that reaches gas exchange units; excludes dead space (VD) • VA = (VT-VD) x f • Alveolar ventilation equation: VA (L/min) = VCO2 (ml/min) x 0.863 (BTPS PACO2 (mm Hg) corr.)
Gas exchange • Alveolar gas equation: • If R=1, each molecule of O2 removed from alveoli is replaced by one molecule of CO2 PAO2 = PIO2 -PACO2 • Average normal value for R = 0.8 PAO2 = FIO2 x (PB-PH2O)- PACO2x FIO2+ 1- FIO2 R • PaCO2 = effective PACO2 • True PACO2 = PETCO2
Gas exchange • Ventilation-Perfusion matching: matching of gas flow and blood flow required for successful gas exchange • VA = Alveolar ventilation Q Pulmonary blood flow (Fick method: O2) = 0.863 x R x (CaO2 - CVO2) PACO2 • V/Q mismatching usually relevant to effect on alveolar-arterial PO2 difference: (A-a)DPO2
Gas exchange • O2-CO2 diagram v 0.2 0.5 1.0 V/Q = 0 1.5 PCO2 Ideal V/Q = 0.84 0 20 40 60 I 8 V/Q = 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 P O2 (mm Hg)
Gas exchange • Causes of hypoxemia • V/Q mismatch • Right to left shunt (venous admixture) • Hypoventilation (e.g. in apnea) • Diffusion abnormalities • Causes of hypercapnia • Hypoventilation • Severe V/Q mismatch
Gas exchange • Factors involved in gas exchange during mechanical ventilation • Oxygenation • Carbon dioxide elimination • Gas transport mechanisms • Patient - ventilator interactions
Gas exchange • Factors affecting oxygenation • Mean airway pressure (MAP): affects V/Q matching. MAP is theaverage airway pressure during respiratory cycle MAP = K (PIP-PEEP) [TI / (TI+TE)] + PEEP • Oxygen concentration of inspired gas (FIO2)
Gas exchange • MAP increases with increasing PIP, PEEP, TI to TE ratio, rate, and flow PIP Pressure Flow Rate TI PIP PEEP PEEP Time TI TE
Gas exchange • Relation of MAP to PaO2 not linear; is like an inverted “U”: • Low MAP: • Atelectasis-->very low PaO2 • High MAP: • hyperinflation--> V/Q mismatch; intrapulmonary shunt, hypoventilation due to distended alveoli • decreased cardiac output --> decreased oxygen transport despite adequate PaO2
Gas exchange • For the same change in MAP, changes in PIP and PEEP improve oxygenation more than changes in I:E ratio • Reversed I:E ratios increase risk of air-trapping • PEEP levels higher than 6 cm H2O may not improve oxygenation in neonates • Attainment of optimal MAP may allow weaning of FIO2 • Atelectasis may lead to sudden increase in required FIO2
Gas exchange • Carbon dioxide elimination • Proportional to alveolar ventilation (VA) which depends on tidal volume (VT) and frequency (rate) • VT changes more effective (but more barotrauma) : dead space constant, so proportion of VT that is alveolar ventilation increases to a greater degree with increases in VT • VT 4 --> 6cc/kg (50% ) with dead space of 2 cc/kg increases VA from 2 (4-2) to 4 (6-2) cc/kg/breath (100% )

Gas exchange • Synchrony vs. Asynchrony + “fighting” • Synchrony augments ventilation, improves CO2 elimination, decreases hypoxic episodes • Asynchrony leads to poor tidal volume delivery, and impairs gas exchange • Active exhalation (exhalation during ventilator breath) increases risk of hypoxic episodes
