Choosing Amongst Ventilator Modes
- Choosing amongst the ventilator modes[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
- Assist-control mode minimizes patient effort by providing full mechanical support with every breath.
- This is often the initial mode chosen because it provides the greatest degree of support.
- In patients with less severe respiratory failure, other modes such as SIMV may be appropriate.
- Assist-control mode should not be used in those patients with a potential for respiratory alkalosis, in which the patient has an increased respiratory drive.
- Such hyperventilation and hypocapnia (decreased systemic carbon dioxide due to hyperventilation) usually occurs in patients with end-stage liver disease, hyperventilatory sepsis, and head trauma.
- Respiratory alkalosis will be evident from the initial arterial blood gas obtained, and the mode of ventilation can then be changed if so desired.
- Positive End Expiratory Pressure may or may not be employed to prevent atelectasis.
- High frequency oscillation is used most frequently in neonates, but is also used as an alternative mode in adults with severe ARDS.
