What is Ventilation? <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ventilation is the process of movement of air from the atmosphere through the airways to the terminal respiratory gas exchange units by the effort of the respiratory muscles or a mechanical ventilator if the patient is being ventilated. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is Respiration? <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Oxygen is essential for life. It is required by each human cell for its survival. It is abundantly present in the atmosphere and maintains a remarkably constant concentration of 20.9% in ambient air. Oxygen is taken up by the lungs through the act of inspiration and transported to the cells via the blood. At the cellular level, oxygen is utilized for the production of energy. In this process, carbon dioxide is released and transported back via the blood to the lungs from where it is expired out into the atmosphere. The act of the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is the Difference Between Ventilator and Respirator? <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A ventilator is a machine, a system using mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task. The task here is to provide all or part of the body\u2019s work that is called breathing or ventilation. Respirator is an apparatus that people worn it over their mouth and nose or the entire face to prevent the inhalation of dangerous substances such as: dust, smoke, etc<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Indications for Ventilation<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u2981 Patients who require ventilatory support often develop a common pattern of physiological deterioration, including:
\u2981 changes in respiratory rate
\u2981 asynchronous respiratory pattern
\u2981 changes in mental status and changes in level of consciousness
\u2981 frequent oxygen desaturation despite increasing oxygen concentration
\u2981 hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis
\u2981 circulatory problems, including tachypnea, tachycardia, hypertension, or hypotension.(3)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV)<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

NIV refers to the provision of respiratory support without direct tracheal intubation. As such, it aims to avoid some of the complications inherent with invasive ventilation, such as the need for sedation with risks of hemodynamic instability and subsequent risk of delirium, nosocomial infection, etc.(2)
Recommendations for the use of non-invasive ventilation(4)
\u2981 COPD exacerbations
\u2981 Facilitation of weaning\/extubation in patients with COPD
\u2981 Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
\u2981 Immunosuppressed patients
\u2981 Do-not-intubate status
\u2981 End-stage patients as palliative measure
\u2981 Extubation failure (COPD or congestive heart failure) (prevention)
\u2981 Community-acquired pneumonia in COPD
\u2981 Postoperative respiratory failure (prevention and treatment)
\u2981 Prevention of acute respiratory failure in asthma<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Goals of Mechanical Ventilation<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the most important treads of life support in the emergency department is Mechanical ventilation (MV). It provides time for recovery until the patient\u2019s physiological balance is restored. This is why MV alone is not a unique and specific treatment for a particular disease; however, it has two general and main purposes: to support the injured lung and to protect the healthy lung.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Specific Goals of Mechanical Ventilation<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u2981 Reversal of Apnea
\u2981 Reversal of Respiratory Distress
\u2981 Reversal of Severe Hypoxemia
\u2981 Reversal of Severe Hypercapnia
\u2981 Goals of Mechanical Ventilation in Postoperative
\u2981 Respiratory Failure and Trauma
\u2981 Goals of Mechanical Ventilation in Shock
One of the specific goals of MV is to promote the optimization of arterial blood gas levels and acid-base balance by providing oxygen and eliminating carbon dioxide (ventilation).(1) For patients with chronic diseases MV can reduce the work of breathing by taking effort from respiratory muscles and maintaining long-term respiratory support.
The ventilator is not a magical therapy that makes patients better but simply a supportive therapy used until more definitive therapies have time to work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Apnea<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Patients with apnea, such as those who have suffered catastrophic central nervous system (CNS) damage, need the immediate institution of mechanical ventilation.(2)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Non-invasive ventilation<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Indications (3)<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u2981 Moderate to severe dyspnoea
\u2981 Tachypnoea (>25\u201330 breaths\/minute)
\u2981 Signs of increased work of breathing (abdominal paradox; accessory muscle use)
\u2981 Fatigue
\u2981 Acute-on-chronic respiratory failure: pH <7.35; pCO2 >6
\u2981 Hypoxaemia (use with caution): paO2\/FiO2 <27 Kpa<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Contraindications (3)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u2981 Facial burns\/trauma\/recent facial upper airway surgery
\u2981 Vomiting
\u2981 Upper gastrointestinal surgery
\u2981 Copious respiratory secretions
\u2981 Severe hypoxemia
\u2981 Hemodynamically instability
\u2981 Severe co-morbidities
\u2981 Confusion\/agitation
\u2981 Low Glasgow coma score
\u2981 Unable to protect the airway
\u2981 Bowel obstruction
\u2981 Respiratory arrest

NIV today consists almost exclusively of the delivery of positive pressure ventilation via an external interface. There are six broad types of interfaces available;

\u2981 total face masks (enclose mouth, nose, eyes)
\u2981 full-face masks (enclose mouth and nose)
\u2981 nasal mask (covers nose but not mouth)
\u2981 mouthpieces (placed between lips and held in place by lip seal)
\u2981 nasal pillows or plugs (inserted into nostrils)
\u2981 helmet (covers the whole head\/all or part of the neck \u2013 no contact with face).(3)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Invasive Ventilation<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Invasive mechanical ventilation requires access to the trachea, most commonly via an endotracheal tube, and represents the commonest reason for admission to the ICU.(5)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Large multinational surveys confirm the common indications for invasive ventilation to be:
\u2981 coma 16%
\u2981 COPD 13%
\u2981 ARDS 11%
\u2981 heart failure 11%
\u2981 pneumonia 11%
\u2981 sepsis 11%
\u2981 trauma 11%
\u2981 postoperative complications 11%
\u2981 neuromuscular disorders 5%.
\u2981 NIV contraindications.(5)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
