Abstract
Objective
In a cohort of mechanically ventilated patients to compare the automatic tidal volume (V
T)–respiratory rate (RR) combination generated by adaptive support ventilation (ASV) for various lung conditions.
Design and setting
Prospective observational cohort study in the 11-bed medicosurgical ICU of a general hospital.
Patients
243 patients receiving 1327 days of invasive ventilation on ASV.
Measurements
Daily collection of ventilator settings, breathing pattern, arterial blood gases, and underlying clinical respiratory conditions categorized as: normal lungs, ALI/ARDS, COPD, chest wall stiffness, or acute respiratory failure.
Results
Overall the respiratory mechanics differed significantly with the underlying conditions. In passive patients ASV delivered different V
T–RR combinations based on the underlying condition, providing higher V
T and lower RR in COPD than in ALI/ARDS: 9.3 ml/kg (8.2–10.8) predicted body weight (PBW) and 13 breaths/min (11–16) vs. 7.6 ml/kg (6.7–8.8) PBW and 18 breaths/min (16–22). In patients actively triggering the ventilator the V
T–RR combinations did not differ between COPD, ALI/ARDS, and normal lungs.
Conclusions
ASV selects different V
T–RR combinations based on respiratory mechanics in passive, mechanically ventilated patients.
