... addition, ventilator graphics were recorded on video for 10 min for 0100, 0600, 0700, and 1200 h. These recorded videos were later analyzed to see the types of patient-ventilator asynchrony as described in Table 2. In addition to the above data, change in patient's hemodynamic data, spirometric data, and arterial blood gas was also recorded and analyzed. ...

... A ventilação por pressão de suporte (PSV) é um modo ventilatório espontâneo, comumente utilizado para desmame de paciente em VMI, faz uso de uma pressão predefinida e constante para todo o esforço inspiratório realizado pelo paciente e tem a sua ciclagem a fluxo (Gautam et al., 2016). ...
... A ventilação proporcional assistida (PAV) também é um modo ventilatório espontâneo, tem como característica a oferta de uma pressão inspiratória dinâmica proporcional ao esforço inspiratório do paciente e como recurso tecnológico a elaboração de cálculos que estimam o trabalho ventilatório (WOB) do paciente e do ventilador mecânico (Barbas C. et al., 2014a(Barbas C. et al., , 2014b. Além disso, a ciclagem não depende da redução predeterminada no fluxo inspiratório, pois a PAV interrompe a assistência inspiratória com a interrupção do esforço inspiratório do paciente, sendo assim uma alternativa com potencial de melhorar a interação paciente-ventilador e reduzir os índices de assincronia (Gautam et al., 2016). ...
... O ensaio clínico supracitado teve como conclusão que o modo PAV quando comparado com o PSV pode facilitar o desmame da VMI e auxiliar na recuperação de músculos respiratórios, já que transmite maior carga de trabalho respiratório ao diafragma e assim contribui para redução das assincronias paciente-ventilador. Por outro lado, um estudo de Gautam et al. (2016) com pacientes cirúrgicos que avaliou a ocorrência de assincronias paciente-ventilador durante o estado de sono e vigília indicou que os dois modos, PAV e PSV, tem desempenho semelhante nesse aspecto. ...
A ventilação mecânica invasiva (VMI) tem como objetivo melhorar trocas gasosas e reduzir o trabalho ventilatório de pacientes críticos. O desmame em traqueostomia é realizado usando modo ventilatório espontâneo e períodos fora da VMI de forma progressiva. O modo ventilatório utilizado pode ser, entre outros, ventilação por pressão (PSV) ou ventilação proporcional assistida (PAV). O objetivo foi comparar o uso do modo PSV e PAV no desmame de pacientes traqueostomizados. Foram recrutados 14 indivíduos, alocados em dois grupos, PSV e PAV, realizaram protocolo de desmame e ao final foram avaliadas as variáveis tempo de VMI em traqueostomia, tempo de desmame ventilatório e taxas de sucesso de desmame. O grupo PAV obteve uma mediana melhor no desfecho dias de desmame, mas sem diferença estatisticamente significativa (p=0,459). Nosso estudo não sustenta o modo PAV como melhor escolha para desmame em pacientes traqueostomizados, são necessários novos estudos com tamanho amostral maior.
... [34] Finally, newer mode of ventilation such as proportional-assist ventilation (PAV) has theoretical benefits that may reduce ventilator dyssynchrony, but in small studies to date, similar rate of ventilator dyssynchrony has been seen between PSV and PAV. [58,59] Thus, there is no clear optimal mode of ventilation to manage ventilator dyssynchrony. ...
Mortality associated with the acute respiratory distress syndrome remains unacceptably high due in part to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Ventilator dyssynchrony is defined as the inappropriate timing and delivery of a mechanical breath in response to patient effort and may cause VILI. Such deleterious patient-ventilator interactions have recently been termed patient self-inflicted lung injury. This narrative review outlines the detection and frequency of several different types of ventilator dyssynchrony, delineates the different mechanisms by which ventilator dyssynchrony may propagate VILI, and reviews the potential clinical impact of ventilator dyssynchrony. Until recently, identifying ventilator dyssynchrony required the manual interpretation of ventilator pressure and flow waveforms. However, computerized interpretation of ventilator waive forms can detect ventilator dyssynchrony with an area under the receiver operating curve of >0.80. Using such algorithms, ventilator dyssynchrony occurs in 3%-34% of all breaths, depending on the patient population. Moreover, two types of ventilator dyssynchrony, double-triggered and flow-limited breaths, are associated with the more frequent delivery of large tidal volumes >10 mL/kg when compared with synchronous breaths (54% [95% confidence interval (CI), 47%-61%] and 11% [95% CI, 7%-15%]) compared with 0.9% (95% CI, 0.0%-1.9%), suggesting a role in propagating VILI. Finally, a recent study associated frequent dyssynchrony-defined as >10% of all breaths-with an increase in hospital mortality (67 vs. 23%, P = 0.04). However, the clinical significance of ventilator dyssynchrony remains an area of active investigation and more research is needed to guide optimal ventilator dyssynchrony management.
... En estudios previos la frecuencia de APV osciló entre el 3% y el 38%, dependiendo del método de detección de asincronía, el tipo de APV pesquisada, el modo ventilatorio, la presencia de esfuerzo inspiratorio y los mecanismos respiratorios. (9,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) La frecuencia de APV severa fue superior a la descrita por otros autores. (7)(8)(9) Estos resultados se explican por la alta frecuencia de trastornos respiratorios o shock séptico en los pacientes analizados, así como el diseño del estudio: pacientes con esfuerzo inspiratorio, análisis de gran variedad de tipos de APV en diversos modos ventilatorios y período de evaluación largo (siete días). ...
... La mayoría de los estudios sobre APV analizaron pacientes relativamente estables o con un solo trastorno respiratorio, en pocas modalidades de ventilación (en ocasiones incluyeron casos con relajantes musculares) y por un breve período de tiempo. (7)(8)(9)19,22,23) En este estudio se realizaron evaluaciones durante varios días consecutivos, lo que representa el contexto real del curso clínico (día a día) de los pacientes críticos; en consecuencia, mayor probabilidad de detectar APV. ...
Objective:
To identify the relationship of patient-ventilator asynchrony with the level of sedation and hemogasometric and clinical results.
Methods:
This was a prospective study of 122 patients admitted to the intensive care unit who underwent > 24 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation with inspiratory effort. In the first 7 days of ventilation, patient-ventilator asynchrony was evaluated daily for 30 minutes. Severe patient-ventilator asynchrony was defined as an asynchrony index > 10%.
Results:
A total of 339,652 respiratory cycles were evaluated in 504 observations. The mean asynchrony index was 37.8% (standard deviation 14.1 - 61.5%). The prevalence of severe patient-ventilator asynchrony was 46.6%. The most frequent patient-ventilator asynchronies were ineffective trigger (13.3%), autotrigger (15.3%), insufficient flow (13.5%), and delayed cycling (13.7%). Severe patient-ventilator asynchrony was related to the level of sedation (ineffective trigger: p = 0.020; insufficient flow: p = 0.016; premature cycling: p = 0.023) and the use of midazolam (p = 0.020). Severe patient-ventilator asynchrony was also associated with hemogasometric changes. The persistence of severe patient-ventilator asynchrony was an independent risk factor for failure of the spontaneous breathing test, ventilation time, ventilator-associated pneumonia, organ dysfunction, mortality in the intensive care unit, and length of stay in the intensive care unit.
Conclusion:
Patient-ventilator asynchrony is a frequent disorder in critically ill patients with inspiratory effort. The patient's interaction with the ventilator should be optimized to improve hemogasometric parameters and clinical results. Further studies are required to confirm these results.
... Such improvement in synchrony was observed in the present study when the parameters of PAV were optimized. Gautam et al. found no significant difference between PAV and PSV (V T = 6 mL/kg) in improving patient-machine synchronization at the same level of WOB (0.3-0.7 J/L) [22], highlighting that the parameters must be finely tuned to produce an advantage for the patient. Nevertheless, synchronicity is dependent upon the ventilator model. ...
Background: How the assist parameters affect synchronization and inspiratory workload in proportional assist ventilation (PAV) remains unknown.
Purpose: This bench study aimed to optimize the PAV parameters by evaluating their effects on patient-ventilator synchrony and work of breathing (WOB) in a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) model during noninvasive ventilation, compared with the pressure support ventilation (PSV) mode.
Methods: The Respironics V60 ventilator was connected to an ASL5000 lung simulator, which simulates lung mechanics in COPD (compliance, 50 mL/cmH2O; expiratory resistance, 20 cmH2O/L/s; respiratory rate, 15 breaths/min; inspiratory time, 1.6 s). PAV was applied with different assistance levels, including flow assist (FA, 40-90% respiratory resistance) and volume assist (VA, 50-90% elastance). PSV was assessed using the same model. Measurements were obtained at a leak flow rate of 25-28 L/min. Performance characteristics, simulator-ventilator synchrony, and WOB were assessed.
Results: Run-away was prone to occur, and severe premature cycling was observed with VA75+FA level >65%. Compared with PSV, lower tidal volume (≤400 mL) was observed during PAV with VA75+FA40-50 and FA50+VA40-80; similar and improved cycling synchrony was observed for FA50+VA80 and FA50+VA90 (cycling delay: -117.60±6.13 and -61.50±8.03 vs. -101.20±7.32 ms). The reduced triggering workload was observed for VA75+FA60-65 and FA50+VA80-90. Total and patient WOB was improved with all tested assist level combinations, except for FA50+VA90.
Conclusions: PAV reduces WOB but can induce asynchrony if improper settings are set, but the most optimal settings still need more clinical observations.
Invasive mechanical ventilation (VMI) aims to improve gas exchange and reduce the ventilatory work of critically ill patients. Tracheostomy weaning is performed using spontaneous ventilation mode and periods outside the VMI progressively. The ventilation mode used can be, among others, pressure ventilation (PSV) or assisted proportional ventilation (PAV). The objective was to compare the use of PSV and PAV mode in the weaning of tracheostomized patients. Fourteen individuals were recruited, allocated into two groups, PSV and PAV, who underwent a weaning protocol and, at the end, the variables VMI time in tracheostomy, ventilatory weaning time and weaning success rates were evaluated. The PAV group had a better median in the weaning days outcome, but without statistically significant difference (p =0,459). It was not possible to state that PAV mode is the best choice for weaning in tracheostomized patients, further studies with larger sample size are needed.
Introduction:
Patient-ventilator asynchrony is considered a major clinical problem for mechanically ventilated patients. It occurs during partial ventilatory support, when the respiratory muscles and the ventilator interact to contribute generating the volume output. In this review article, we consider all studies published on patient-ventilator asynchrony in the last 25 years.
Evidence acquisition:
We selected 62 studies. The different forms of asynchrony are first defined and classified. We also describe the methods used for detecting and quantifying asynchronies. We then outline the outcome variables considered for evaluating the clinical consequences of asynchronies. The methodology for detection and quantification of patient-ventilator asynchrony are quite heterogeneous. In particular, the Asynchrony Index is calculated differently among studies.
Evidence synthesis:
Sixteen studies established some relationship between asynchronies and one or more clinical outcomes, such as duration of mechanical ventilation (seven studies), mortality (five studies), length of intensive care and hospital stay (four studies), patient comfort (four studies), quality of sleep (three studies), and rate of tracheotomy (three studies). In patients with severe patient-ventilator asynchrony, four of seven studies (57%) report prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, one of five (20%) increased mortality, one of four (25%) longer intensive care and hospital lengths of stay, four of four (100%) worsened comfort, three of four (75%) deteriorated quality of sleep, and one of three (33%) increased rate of tracheotomy.
Conclusions:
Given the varying outcomes considered and the erratic results, it remains unclear whether asynchronies really affects patient outcome, and the relationship between asynchronies and outcome is causative or associative.
Efficiency of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in the treatment of respiratory failure has been shown in many published studies. In this review article, we introduced new modalities of non-invasive ventilation (NIV), clinical settings in which NIV can be used and a practical summary of the latest official guidelines published by the European Respiratory Clinical Practice. Clinical trials and review articles in four databases up to 25 February 2018 about new modalities of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation were reviewed. Commonly used modalities for treatment of respiratory failure include: CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) and BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) or NIPSV (noninvasive pressure support ventilation). The limitations of the BiPAP method are the trigger and cycle asynchrony, inadequate volume delivery and increased respiratory rate. Newer methods, such as adaptive servo-ventilation, have been developed to treat central and complex sleep apnea and the NAVA (neutrally adjusted ventilatory assist) to improve the trigger and cycle asynchrony.
In the proportional assist ventilation, unlike the pressure support ventilation, with increased patient effort (flow) the tidal volume increases and it prevents the increase in the respiratory rate and respiratory distress. High-flow nasal cannula is a non-invasive technique that does not provide respiratory support, but provides a mixture of oxygen to the patient. The use of non-invasive pursed-lip breathing ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients reduces dyspnea (decreases respiratory rate) and increases blood oxygen saturation. New modalities of NIV improve patient comfort and patient–ventilator interactions, and are recommended in patients with respiratory failure.
Patient-ventilator asynchrony exists when the phases of breath delivered by the ventilator do not match those of the patient. Asynchronies occur throughout mechanical ventilation and negatively affect patient comfort, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stays, and mortality. Identifying asynchronies requires careful attention to patients and their ventilator waveforms. This review discusses the different types of asynchronies, how they are generated, and their impact on patient comfort and outcome. Moreover, it discusses practical approaches for detecting, correcting, and preventing asynchronies. Current evidence suggests that the best approach to managing asynchronies is by adjusting ventilator settings. Proportional modes improve patient-ventilator coupling, resulting in greater comfort and less dyspnea, but not in improved outcomes with respect to the duration of mechanical ventilation, delirium, or cognitive impairment. Advanced computational technologies will allow smart alerts, and models based on time series of asynchronies will be able to predict and prevent asynchronies, making it possible to tailor mechanical ventilation to meet each patient's needs throughout the course of mechanical ventilation.
