For this, it is necessary to find ∆ Pocc (occlusion pressure). Clinical application: Estimates Pmus during MV, without the need for an esophageal catheter. It takes 4 to 5 time constants for adequate or near complete exhalation.Įquation: Pmus = -3/4 * ∆ Pocc (occlusion pressure) or -0.75 * ∆ Pocc. Clinical application: assessment of the level of ventilatory support and muscle effort, estimation of neural command or respiratory drive.ĭefinition: time required for lung emptying.Įquation: Time constant = Rva (cmH 2O/L.s) * Cst (L/cmH 2O)Įx.: Rva of 10 cmH 2O/L.s * Cst of 0,06 L/cmH 2O (Cst) = 0,6s. Some ventilators can measure P0.1 with the help of specific software. Low respiratory drive: 4.0cmH 2O (hyperstimulated ventilatory drive / under - ventilatory assistance / weaning failure) Normal: 1.5 – 3.5 cmH 2O (normal ventilatory drive / normal ventilatory assistance) MIP > (less negative) than - 20 to -30cmH 2O is associated with respiratory muscle weakness and extubation/weaning failure.ĭefinition: Airway pressure measured at 100ms or 0.1s from the start of inspiration. After that, apply the values of VT and RR in the Tobin index equation: RR bpm / VT Mean (L). Apply the minute volume (VE) values to the equation: VE = VT/RR to find the tidal volume. Using the ventilometer, identify the minute volume and respiratory rate of the patient in spontaneous breathing, that is, disconnected from the ventilator. Values > 105 bpm/L are associated with weaning failure. Tobin Index or Rapid shallow breathing (RR/VT) ratio
Choose a PaCO 2 target according to the patient’s condition and the pH. Keep between 92-96% (Check pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform).Įquations: FIO 2 target = PaO 2 target (mmHg) * (FIO 2 current / PaO 2 current (mmHg)).Įquations: RR target = RR current * PaCO 2 current / PaCO 2 desired. It may estimate the amount of pulmonary shunt: Permissive hypercapnia (PaCO 2 > 50mmHg with pH > 7,20).Įquations: PaO 2 (mmHg) /FIO 2 (absolute value, not in %) Keep between 35 to 38 mmHg in acute traumatic brain injury. VT 50mmHg) in ARDS, COPD or status asthmaticus. Click here to see the data below in table formĮquations: 50 + 0.91 * (Height - 152.4 cm).Įquations: 45.5 + 0.91 * (Height - 152.4 cm).
