2. to review the benefits of allowing preserved
spontaneous breathing in acute respiratory
failure, emphasizing ALI/ARDS
to review partial ventilatory support modalities
used in acute respiratory failure
to present the results of a systematic review
3. Acute inflammatory lung injury
› resulting from direct or indirect pulmonary insult
American-European Consensus Conference
(1994) definitions:
› ALI
Acute pulmonary failure with PaO2/FiO2 <300mmHg
Bilateral infiltrates on chest film
PCWP <18 mmHg, or no clinical evidence of elevated LAP
› ARDS
as above, with PaO2/FiO2 <200mmHg, regardless of
PEEP
5. EARLY
› Exudative: infiltration, activation of inflammatory
cells endothelial injury, capillary disruption,
pulmonary oedema
› Proliferative: fibroblastic infiltration and
remodelling
LATE
› Fibrotic: consolidation, fibrosis stiff lungs
6. Alveolar collapse
› Superimposed pressure on the lung
› Cephalad shift of diaphragm
Diffuse lung consolidation, multifocal patchy
involvement and lobar or segmental disease
Primarily in DEPENDANT lung regions
› Ventilation and perfusion are no longer matched
› Severe arterial hypoxaemia
12. Early institution of modes allowing
spontaneous breathing (SB) helps mitigate
complications associated with controlled
mechanical ventilation (MV)
Physiologic and haemodynamic benefits are
associated with preserved SB
13. Improved VA/Q matching, gas exchange
› By allowing contraction of the diaphragm
› Improved ventilation of dependant areas
better V/Q matching, less atalectasis and shunt
Improved cardiac indices: CO, CI, and less
use of vasopressors/inotropes
No increase to oxygen cost of breathing
Less analgo-sedative drugs
15. Gold standard of partial ventilatory support
Can be used in early ARF and during weaning
The patient’s inspiratory effort triggers the ventilator, which
delivers a flow up to a preset pressure limit depending on
the desired minute volume
› Note: the pressure delivered is independent of the amount of
patient effort
Flow cycles off when a percentage of peak inspiratory flow
is reached.
Tidal volumes vary as in spontaneous breathing
16. Developed as a method of partial ventilatory support
to facilitate weaning
A demand valve was placed so the spontaneous
breath could occur without having to breathe through
the various valves and apparatus of the ventilator.
The patient could breathe spontaneously while also
receiving mandatory breaths.
As the patient’s respiratory function improved, the
number of mandatory breaths was decreased
18. Continuous positive airway pressure with an
intermittent release phase
Phigh for a prolonged time (Thigh): adequate
lung volume, alveolar recruitment
Time-cycled release phase to Plow for a short
time (Tlow): CO2 removal (ventilation)
Unrestricted spontaneous breathing allowed
at any time
20. Mode of ventilation during which the pressure
delivered by the ventilator was positively related
to the inspired flow and volume
› i.e., pressure in proportion to patient effort
Preset PROPORTION between applied pressure
and inspiratory muscle effort
› Proportionality constants in the equation of motion
dictate how much the applied pressure will increase
for a given increase in inspiratory muscle effort
22. NAVA uses the electrical activity of the diaphragm
(EAdi) to control the ventilator
Eadi represents the central respiratory drive and reflects
the length and intensity of the patient's neural effort.
Mechanical inspiratory assist starts when the respiratory
center initiates the breath and is therefore independent
of any pneumatic component.
During inspiration, the pressure delivered is proportional
to the EAdi and the inspiratory pressure assist ceases
when the neural activation of the diaphragm starts to
decline after reaching the inspiratory maximum value.
23. Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation remains
one of the most common reasons for admission to an
Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Mechanical ventilation aims to restore gas exchange and to
unload the work of breathing.
The adverse effects associated with controlled ventilation
are being increasingly recognized, including haemodynamic
compromise, the need for deep sedation and/or muscle
paralysis and VALI.
24. Hypothesis
› In contrast to controlled ventilation, partial
ventilatory support modes allow the
preservation of spontaneous breathing efforts
by the intubated patient, and contractions of
the diaphragm, which may mitigate the
adverse effects of controlled mechanical
ventilation.
25. Objectives: To investigate:
› which modes of ventilation allow preserved
spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation,
and which of these modes have been investigated?
› what are the beneficial effects of preserved
spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation
in acute lung injury, and what are the effects on
outcomes?
› what evidence exists (and of what level is it) that the
use of partial ventilatory support in acute lung injury
improves outcomes?
26. search strategy keywords:
› common known modalities of assisted breathing
› ALI/ARDS
MEDLINE, Cochrane, and EmBase electronic databases
searched for articles in English, French and German.
Reference lists from comprehensive reviews,
observational studies and identified clinical trials were
hand-searched.
EXCLUDED: Studies pertaining to weaning, chronic ventilation,
non-invasive, ECMO.

technical note
29. Airway pressure release, pressure support,
proportional assist, and synchronized
intermittent mandatory ventilatory modes
were most commonly investigated.
Only nine studies involving 664 patients
reported predefined outcomes: 2 RCTs
(Grade 1b), 6 Grade 2b studies, 1 3b study
30. 28 animal and 41 observational clinical studies
consistently demonstrated findings of improved
haemodynamics and gas exchange, without
increased oxygen cost of breathing.
Six grade 2b studies demonstrated the same
positive physiologic effects;
No study compared two different partial ventilatory
modes, and none were powered to assess
mortality.
31. 30 Trauma patients at risk of ARDS; APRV vs PCV
Mortality: not reported
ICU LOS: 23+/-2d vs 30+/-2d (p<0.05) APRV vs PCV
VFDs: 15 +/-2d vs 21 +/-2d, APRV vs PCV (p<0.05)
APRV associated with increased CRS, PaO2, CI, DO2
(p<0.05); decreased QVA/QT, O2 extraction (p<0.05)
pts with PCV needed higher doses of sufentanil,
midazolam, norepinephrine, dobutamine (all p<0.05).
32. APRV vs SIMV+PS in 58 adult pts with early ARDS
Mortality: 17% APRV vs 18% SIMV (p=0.91)
› BUT: underpowered, stopped early for futility
ICU-Free days: 11.9+/-1.7 vs 10.7+/-1.4 (APRV vs SIMV)
VFDs: 13.4+/-1.7 vs 12.2+/-1.5 for APRV vs SIMV-PS
Inspiratory pressure 25.9+/-0.6 vs 28.6+/-0.7 cmH20 for APRV vs
SIMV-PS (p=0.007)
improved organ function: SOFA-score decreased by 2.8 +/-0.8 vs
1.7+/-0.2 (APRV vs SIMV)
LIS decreased 0.8+/-0.1 vs 0.6+/-0.2 (APRV vs SIMV)
33. While unorthodox to include an expansive
range of study designs and publication types
within a systematic review, the scope was
kept broad due to lack of volume of high
quality studies, and there was no intention to
undertake any statistical analysis.
34. Despite benefits of preserved spontaneous
breathing consistently shown in clinical and
experimental data,
› the anticipated effects on outcomes in acute
respiratory failure and ALI/ARDS are not
supported by high levels of evidence
› but it is unknown whether this disparity mirrors
clinical practice.

ventilatory management in ALI/ARDS
