Modern mechanical ventilators are more complex than those first developed in the 1950s. Newer ventilation modes can be difficult to understand and implement clinically, although they provide more treatment options than traditional modes. These newer modes, which can be considered alternative or nontraditional, generally are classified as either volume controlled or pressure controlled. Dual-control modes incorporate qualities of pressure-controlled and volume-controlled modes. Some ventilation modes provide variable ventilatory support depending on patient effort and may be classified as closed-loop ventilation modes. Alternative modes of ventilation are tools for lung protection, alveolar recruitment, and ventilator liberation. Understanding the function and application of these alternative modes prior to implementation is essential and is most beneficial for the patient.

Abstract: Background There has been an exponential increase in modes of mechanical ventilation over the last couple decades. With this increase, there have been paucity of evidence of which mode is superior to others or much guidance to use a mode in different disease status causing respiratory failure. Methods: An international survey of six questions was posted on the “society of mechanical ventilation” website and advertised on social media over the period of four months. This is a descriptive study, results are presented in two different ways. First as the total modes used and secondly, per the geographical areas as the preferred mode, mode used mostly in ARDS, COPD, and Spontaneous weaning trials. Results: Conventional older modes, Volume-controlled and Pressure-controlled ventilation were used significantly more in general and in different disease states irrespective of geographical location. Four other modes were used almost equally in all disease states irrespective of geographical location. Pressure support ventilation was the most common mode used during the spontaneous breathing trial. Conclusion: There was large heterogenicity of modes used between clinicians in general, in different disease states and in between different international geographical locations. Mechanical ventilation modes utilization varies widely and remains a personal preference with no consensus between clinicians globally.

INTRODUCTION. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) with acute respiratory failure needs ventilatory support poorly documented. One of the interstitial diseases known is the Systemic sclerosis, its advanced stages develop CREST syndrome. Faverio P, et al. (2016) suggested do not close the door to these patients and open the correct protocol, criticizing the little value that the scientic community concede to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). CASE REPORT. 85-year-old male is internalized in critical care unit by pneumonia, the complementary evaluation shows a systemic sclerosis disease with CREST syndrome and it is conrmed by elevation of anti-centromere antibody and positive skin biopsy. Tomography highlights pneumonic consolidation plus interstitial lung involvement and echocardiography reveals pulmonary hypertension. The management is done with IMV, keeping the goal of driving pressure less than 15 as lung protection, recovering respiratory function in 3 weeks. Discussion. The evidence is too insufcient to establish the best decision on IMV to the management of ILD.

Mechanical ventilation is used to assist or replace spontaneous respiration. Gas flow can be generated by negative pressure techniques, but it is positive pressure ventilation that is the most efficacious in intensive care. There are numerous pulmonary and extrapulmonary indications for mechanical ventilation, and it is the underlying pathology that will determine the duration of ventilation required. Ventilation modes can broadly be classified as volume- or pressure-controlled, but modern ventilators combine the characteristics of both in order to complement the diverse requirements of individual patients. To avoid confusion, it is important to appreciate that there is no international consensus on the classification of ventilation modes. Ventilator manufacturers can use terms that are similar to those used by others that describe very different modes or have completely different names for similar modes. It is well established that ventilation in itself can cause or exacerbate lung injury, so the evidence-based lung-protective strategies should be adhered to. The term acute lung injury has been abolished, whilst a new definition and classification for the acute respiratory distress syndrome has been defined.

Ventilatory Management

Mechanical ventilation is a very effective therapy, but with many complications. Simulators are used in many fields, including medicine, to enhance safety issues. In the intensive care unit, they are used for teaching cardiorespiratory physiology and ventilation, for testing ventilator performance, for forecasting the effect of ventilatory support, and to determine optimal ventilatory management. They are also used in research and development of clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) and explicit computerized protocols in closed loop. For all those reasons, cardiorespiratory simulators are one of the tools that help to decrease mechanical ventilation duration and complications. This paper describes the different types of simulators described in the literature for physiologic simulation and modeling of the respiratory system, including a new simulator (SimulResp), and proposes a validation process for these simulators.

Abstract Background Although numerous studies conducted in the past years, there is no superior guideline that indicates the best ventilation mode during laparoscopic anesthesia inobese patients. There are numerous studies with dissimilar controversial points. The management of oxygenation in a morbid obese patient undergoing laparoscopic procedures presents many challenging aspects to the anesthetist. Objective The aim of this study was to equate the effect of pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) vs. volume controlled ventilation (VCV) on respiratory, oxygenation parameters and post operative complications. Patients and Methods This study was conducted on 80 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery in Ain Shams University Hospitals. Post induction of Anesthesia, Patients were divided into two groups. The first group mechanical ventilation setting was volume controlled ventilation and the second group mechanical ventilation setting was pressure controlled ventilation. Results The results of our study shows that despite some valuable effects regarding plateau and mean airway pressure with PCV, there is no momentous clinical difference between volume controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery. However, pressure controlled ventilation shows slightly more favorable results regarding post extubation oxygen saturation and the decrease of post operative basal atelectasis. It appears that using dual modes would be an epitome approach with lower complications and similar outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: The SARS-CoV2 pandemic has created a sudden lack of ventilators. DuplicAR® is a novel device that allows simultaneous and independent ventilation of two subjects with a single ventilator. The aims of this study are: a) to determine the efficacy of DuplicAR® to independently regulate the peak and positive-end expiratory pressures in each subject, both under pressure-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation, and b) to determine the ventilation mode in which DuplicAR® presents the best performance and safety. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two test lungs are connected to a single ventilator using DuplicAR®. Three experimental stages are established: 1) two identical subjects, 2) two subjects with the same weight but different lung compliance, and 3) two subjects with different weight and lung compliance. In each stage, the test lungs are ventilated in two ventilation modes. The positive-end expiratory pressure requirements are increased successively in one of the subjects. The goal is to achieve a tidal volume of 7 ml/kg for each subject in all different stages through manipulation of the ventilator and the DuplicAR® controllers. RESULTS: DuplicAR® allows adequate ventilation of two subjects with different weight and/or lung compliance and/or PEEP requirements. This is achieved by adjusting the total tidal volume for both subjects (in volume-controlled ventilation) or the highest peak pressure needed (in pressure-controlled ventilation) along with the basal positive-end expiratory pressure on the ventilator, and simultaneously manipulating the DuplicAR® controllers to decrease the tidal volume or the peak pressure in the subject that needs less and/or to increase the positive-end expiratory pressure in the subject that needs more. While ventilatory goals can be achieved in any of the ventilation modes, DuplicAR® performs better in pressure-controlled ventilation, as changes experienced in the variables of one subject do not modify the other one. CONCLUSIONS: DuplicAR® is an effective tool to manage the peak inspiratory pressure and the positive-end expiratory pressure independently in two subjects connected to a single ventilator. The driving pressure can be adjusted to meet the requirements of subjects with different weight and lung compliance. Pressure-controlled ventilation has advantages over volume-controlled ventilation and is therefore the recommended ventilation mode.

Introduction. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has created a sudden lack of ventilators. DuplicARⓇ is a novel device that allows simultaneous and independent ventilation of two subjects with a single ventilator. The aims of this study are (a) to determine the efficacy of DuplicARⓇ to independently regulate the peak and positive-end expiratory pressures in each subject, both under pressure-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation and (b) to determine the ventilation mode in which DuplicARⓇ presents the best performance and safety. Materials and Methods. Two test lungs are connected to a single ventilator using DuplicARⓇ. Three experimental stages are established: (1) two identical subjects, (2) two subjects with the same weight but different lung compliance, and (3) two subjects with different weights and lung compliances. In each stage, the test lungs are ventilated in two ventilation modes. The positive-end expiratory pressure requirements are increased successively in one of the subjects. The goal is to achieve a tidal volume of 7 ml/kg for each subject in all different stages through manipulation of the ventilator and the DuplicARⓇ controllers. Results. DuplicARⓇ allows adequate ventilation of two subjects with different weights and/or lung compliances and/or PEEP requirements. This is achieved by adjusting the total tidal volume for both subjects (in volume-controlled ventilation) or the highest peak pressure needed (in pressure-controlled ventilation) along with the basal positive-end expiratory pressure on the ventilator and simultaneously manipulating the DuplicARⓇ controllers to decrease the tidal volume or the peak pressure in the subject that needs less and/or to increase the positive-end expiratory pressure in the subject that needs more. While ventilatory goals can be achieved in any of the ventilation modes, DuplicARⓇ performs better in pressure-controlled ventilation, as changes experienced in the variables of one subject do not modify the other one. Conclusions. DuplicARⓇ is an effective tool to manage the peak inspiratory pressure and the positive-end expiratory pressure independently in two subjects connected to a single ventilator. The driving pressure can be adjusted to meet the requirements of subjects with different weights and lung compliances. Pressure-controlled ventilation has advantages over volume-controlled ventilation and is therefore the recommended ventilation mode.
