Definition

Assisted ventilation: movement of gas
into and out of lungs by external source
connected directly to patient
Factors to Consider




Pulmonary mechanics
Gas exchange mechanisms
Control of breathing
Lung injury

Pulmonary Mechanics

Compliance



Elasticity or distensibility of the respiratory
structures (eg, alveoli, chest wall, and pulmonary
parenchyma)
C=∆V/∆P
Resistance


Inherent capacity of the air conducting system
(eg, airways, endotracheal tube) and tissues to
oppose airflow
R= ∆P/∆F
Pulmonary Mechanics in
Newborns

Shape of chest



Compliance of chest wall



More cylindrical and ribs more horizontal
Less elevation of ribs therefore less volume
Little resistance to expansion
Little opposition to collapse
Surface tension



Largest contributor to recoil on exhalation
High surface tension will lead to atelectasis
Surfactant reduces surface tension
Normal Gas Exchange
Gas Exchange in Newborns

residual capacity (FRC)


Cellular metabolism  CO2
CO2 in lungs + H20  carbonic acid (H2CO3).
Carbonic acid changes blood pH
Triggers lungs to either increase or decrease rate/depth of
ventilation
In an effort to maintain the pH of the blood within its normal
range, the kidneys excrete or
Kidneys


Excrete or retain bicarbonate HCO3 to maintain normal pH
As pH increases, kidneys excrete HCO3 through the urine

acidosis or alkalosis based on

compensation
For every 10 change in PCO2 above or below 40
 0.08 change in pH in opposite direction
Acidosis and alkalosis may be partially or fully
compensated by the opposite mechanism
Body NEVER OVERCOMPENSATES!
Approach for Analysis of
Simple Acid–Base Disorders
Before Making Vent Changes


Do you believe the blood gas result?
Look at the baby





the chest moving?
there good air-entry like?
there increased WOB?
the baby very tachypneic or is the baby apneic?
Look at the ventilator



Is
Is
Is
Is
What tidal volume is the baby getting?
Is there a significant leak?
Other things to consider


How stable has the baby been over the past few hours or days?
Are there lots of secretions?
