b) The obvious but difficult solutionRemove as many knobs as possible while still giving the user control over the pertinent parameters

a) Problems with conventional ventilatorsToo many knobs, too many controls, very few guidelines for setting controls

How to use ASV clinically (1)How to use ASV clinically (1)

1) Set Body Wt of patient and high Pressure limit to 45 mbar (will yield Pmax < 35 mbar)

2) Set %MinVol to 100% (except COPD)

3) Set PEEP & FiO2 according to clinical requirements

4) Connect patient

How to use ASV clinically (2)How to use ASV clinically (2)

5) Ventilate for some minutes and assess blood gases and/or WOB (clinically)

6) Adjust %MinVol to meet pH/PaCO2 targets or WOB targets

7) Adjust PEEP and FiO2

8) Review high Pressure limit setting, consider changes only in exceptions

9) Observe Ppeak and fSpont trends

Repeat steps 5-9 until you consider extubation

How to monitor the patientHow to monitor the patient

• Target graphics window shows

– ASV target MinVol, Vt, f

– Actually achieved values for MinVol, Vt, f

– Safety limits for Vt and f

– Check feasibility of %MinVol settings

• Trends show

– level of support provided by the ventilator vs. level of patient activity

"Maintain at least 100% of normal ventilation, take spontaneous breathing into account,

prevent tachypnea,prevent AutoPEEP,

prevent excessive dead space ventilation,fully ventilate in apnea or low drive,

give control to patient in case breathing activityis okay, and do this without exceeding a 35 mbar

Fully Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Pressure Ventilation (FSIMPV)

Machine- or patient-triggered Machine- or patient-triggered ventilationventilation

• Machine- and/or patient-triggered.

• Gas delivery is pressure-controlled for both the mandatory and the spontaneous breaths. Pressure levels are identical.

• Mandatory breaths are time-cycled if they were NOT triggered by the patient, spontaneous breaths are flow-cycled.

Control settings are: inspiratory pressure, respiratory rate, I:E ratio, pressure ramp, and expiratory trigger sensitivity. Other controls include

FiO2 and PEEP/CPAP.

•ASV works in passive and in active patients

•ASV promotes weaning from minute one

•ASV employs lung-protective strategies to minimize complications from AutoPEEP and thus barotrauma

•ASV prevents tachypnea, apnea, excessive dead space ventilation, and excessive breaths

•ASV adapts continuously to the needs of the patient
