Assessment of Mechanics Raw= Peak - Plateau Auto-PEEP
Obstructive Airway Disease • Beware of auto-PEEP!
After the third breath, the airway was occluded at end-expiration using the end-expiratory hold function on the ventilator. During the period of zero flow, pressure in the alveoli and ventilator circuit equilibrate, and the plateau pressure reflects auto or intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi), indicated by the arrow.
Giving CPAP to a patient who has auto-PEEP The increased work of breathing associated with auto-PEEP can be offloaded by applying CPAP to the trachea/mouth, and splinting open the connecting airways.
The use of external PEEP in the setting of auto-PEEP may be conceptualized by the "waterfall over a dam" analogy. In this analogy, the presence of dynamic hyperinflation and 10 cmH20 of auto-PEEP is represented in the top panel by the reservoir of water trickling over the dam represented by the solid block. In the middle panel, as long as the external PEEP is less than or equal to the amount of auto-PEEP, the amount of water in the upstream reservoir, representing dynamic hyperinflation, does not increase. However, once the amount of water in the reservoir does increase (bottom panel), dynamic hyperinflation worsens.

Pressure or Volume Mode? Volume • Predictable TV • Peak-Plat gradient • Monitor Plat • Better acidosis control Pressure • Minimise over-distension • Monitor Tidal volume • Excess volumes as airway resistance improves
Mechanical Ventilation ofCOPD & Asthma Exacerbations Mode: AC vs IMV PS ? rest respiratory muscles: CMV Better sleep with AC vs. IMV-PS Ventilator-induced diaphragm changes (?) Triggering: key issue with either mode PEEP to counter auto-PEEP Major cause of patient-ventilator dissynchrony
Initial Ventilator Settings • Inspiratory time 0.8 – 1.2 secs • RR 10-12 • TV 6-8 ml/Kg • Pplat < 30 cm H2O • PEEP ??
Reducing Hyperinflation I : E 1: 6 I : E 1: 2 • Reduce rate • Reduce tidal volume • Increase expiratory time • Increase inspiratory flow rate • Increased Peak Airway Pressure • Monitor (Pplat) • Tolerate increased CO2 (minimise dead space)
COPD flow and frequency As flow increased from 30 to 60 and 90 L/min (from right to left), frequency increased from (18 to 23 and 26 breaths/min, respectively), Auto-PEEP decreased (from 15.6 to 14.4 and 13.3 cm H2O, respectively) and end-expiratory chest volume also fell. Increases in flow from 30 L/min to 60 and 90 L/min also led to decreases in the swings in Pes from 21.5 to 19.5 and 16.8 cm H2O.
