Although most modern ventilators are capable of providing the basic modes of synchronised (patient-triggered) ventilation, there are a variety of hybrid modes or combinations that may be unique to each manufacturer and device. To a significant degree, the clinician’s choice of ventilator modes is limited by the equipment available in his or her NICU. Settings influenced by whether the obstruction can be relieved by positioning of the endotracheal tube tip beyond the point of maximal narrowing ![]() Low–medium if obstruction relieved, high otherwise Term infant with oesophageal atresia and tracheomalaciaĪlveolar hypoventilation, expiratory prolongation and gas trapping Low FRC and V T secondary to compromised respiratory muscle functionĪppropriate to give mechanical support for each breathĪlveolar hypoventilation, normal lung compliance Manipulation of pCO 2 can help to control pulmonary blood flow – lower CO 2 to promote blood flow, increase CO 2 to restrict blood flow Lung overdistension with high-pressure settings will restrict pulmonary blood flow. Pulmonary blood flow highly variable and under the influence of intra-alveolar pressure Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, post-Norwood operation Pulmonary atresia with duct-dependent pulmonary circulation Increasing CO 2 can help limit blood flow to some degree Term infant – large ventricular septal defectĭecreased lung compliance related to pulmonary engorgement and oedema Preterm infant – patent ductus arteriosus Reduced pulmonary blood flow secondary to increased pulmonary arteriolar tone V T and PEEP requirements depend on associated parenchymal disease Reduced pulmonary blood flow secondary to increased pulmonary arteriolar tone, exacerbated by low alveolar pO 2 and pH Lungs become relatively compliant once atelectasis resolved, and there is potential for overdistension and volutrauma if pressure settings too high.
