MRI signal intensity from non-dependent to dependent regions The water burden of the lung makes the lung of the preterm infant, despite surfactant treatment,vulnerable to VILI 2-day-old, 38-week gestation infant 4-day-old, 26-week gestation infant Adams EW AJRCCM 2002; 166:397–402
Nonhomogeneous Lung Disease The pathophysiology shared by these diseases is nonuniform lung involvement where certain lung units are nearly normal while other areas are markedly abnormal. A strategy that is effective in opening damaged areas may result in overinflation and trauma to more normal areas of the lung.
Diffuse “Homogeneous” Lung Disease The goals of assisted ventilation in this group of patients are to improve lung inflation, compliance and ventilation/perfusion matching while avoiding barotrauma or compromise of cardiac output.
The best approach = The extended sigh (stepwise increase and decrease of PEEP using the lowest VT possible) Required Monitoring: SaO2, PaO2 PaCO2 and/or endtidal CO2 Hemodynamics
Recruitment Overdistension tidal volume "static" compliance: static PIP (Pplat) - PEEP Cst = PEEP titration The oxygenation response: Can it be used? Burns D J Trauma 2001;51:1177-81

Allowable Vt and disease severity ALI (surfactant depleted lung) Volume (l) severe (A)RDS Airway pressure (cmH2O)
Transition from CMV to HFOV • Pplat approaching 25 cmH2O after PEEP trial (recruitment) • and / or PEEP > 12 cmH2O 2) Reduction of Vt < 5 required to match Pplat limits 3) “uncomfortably” high pCO2 or low pH (level dependent from additional pathologies)
CMV CMV HFOV HFOV Rationale for HFOV-based lung protective strategies HFOV uses very small VTs. This allows the use of higher EELVs to achieve greater levels of lung recruitment while avoiding injury from excessive EILV. 2.Respiratory rates with HFOV are much higher than with CV. This allows the maintenance of normal or near-normal PaCO2 levels, even with very small Vts.

Severe airway compression Once you can ventilate these patients (with high PEEP) they are usually difficult to extubate My advice: Keep a high PEEP on spontaneous ventilation, reduce pressure support and extubate from a high PEEP (ev. to CPAP or NIV)

R-L shunt across the FO • severe hypoxemia • RV dilatation and failure • poor CO • Moderate mainly • postductal hypoxemia • + ev R-L shunt FO 2) In general good CO NO yes NO may lead to L-R shunt with pulmonary flooding PPHN with: Open ductus Closed ductus
RDS and PPHN in the newborn infant: Nitric oxide effect Right to left shunt without iNO Left to right shunt on iNO PA PA Duct Duct Ao Ao Indication: not poor postductal oxgygenation but signs of poor cardiac output
Take home messages It is not always iRDS that causes hypoxemia in the preterm infant If you don’t know what to do next with your ventilator settings reduce your airway pressures first Try to anticipate changes in respiratory mechanics and gas exchange before turning knobs on your ventilator
Pressure – Flow – Time - Volume Time constant: T = Crs x Rrs To short Ti and/or Te will lead to inefficient alveolar ventilation and risk of intrinsic PEEP Adapt your respirator rate (Ti and/or Te) to the stage and mechanical characteristics of lung disease The saying “ we ventilate at 60/min” is a testimony of no understanding
