PORTABLE VENTILATORS
MECHANICAL VENTILATOR

• HOME VENTILATORS SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE AS HOSPITAL


VERSIONS USED IN LONG CARE FACILITY.
• THEY BOTH HAVE A MODE THAT DELIVERS A PRESET VOLUME OF AIR
AT A SET INTERVAL
• THEY BOTH HAVE MODE THAT DELIVERS A PRESET PRESSURE AT A SET
INTERVAL
INDICATION FOR MECHANICAL
VENTILATION IN HOMECARE SET-UP

• OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA – (APNEA DUE TO NEUROMUSCULAR CAUSES ,


PROGRESSIVE HYPOVENTILATION, FATIGUE OF RESPIRATORY MUSCLE ,FACIAL
TRAUMA
• CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE
• OBESITY
• NEUROLOGICAL DYSFUNCTION (FOR INVASIVE VENTILATION)
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a long-term
condition where the airways of the
lungs become widened, leading to a
build-up of excess mucus that can
make the lungs more vulnerable to
infection. The most common symptoms
of bronchiectasis include: a persistent
cough that usually brings up phlegm
(sputum) shortness of breath.
Treatment for Bronchiectasis
1. Inhaled Tobramycin therapy was effective in reducing
Pseudomonas. aeruginosa microbial density in the sputum of patients
with bronchiectasis. Several studies demonstrated favourable impacts
on hospitalizations, number and severity of exacerbations, and
symptoms.

2. The treatment of bronchiectasis involves promoting sputum clearance,


using positional physiotherapy, and early and aggressive treatment of
pulmonary infections

*Physiotherapy has a very valuable role in aiding with symptoms of


bronchiectasis. Since mucocilliary clearance is reduced to about 15% of normal,
patients tend to cough more. Physiotherapy treatments are aimed at aiding
secretion clearance, managing fatigue induced by the effort of ineffective
clearance and increased coughing.
Management of Severe but not Life - threatening exacerbations

• Assess the severity of symptom


Administration of supplemental oxygen therapy ( monitoring of sp02)

• Bronchodilator
Increase doses/ or frequency of short acting bronchodilator
Combine short acting and anticholinergic medication
Consider of Long-acting beta agonists

• Consider oral corticosteroid

• Consider Noninvasive ventilation

• At all time
*monitor fluid balance
* Identify and treat associated conditions ( e.g., Heart failure, Arrhythmias, Pulmonary embolism etc..
COMMON MODES IN HOMECARE
SETTINGS

• NON- INVASIVE MODE:


1. BILEVEL POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE ( BIPAP)
2.CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE ( CPAP)
BILEVEL POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE ( BIPAP)

• TWO DIFFERENT TYPE OF PRESSURE


1. IPAP – INSPIRATORY POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE
INITIAL SETTINGS : 8 cmH20 titrate as appropriate
2. EPAP – EXPIRATORY POSITIVE AIRWAY PREUSSURE
INITIAL SETTINGS : 4 cmH20 titrate as appropriate
• IPAP – CORRECTION OF VENTILATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF VT

• EPAP – CORRECTION OF OXYGENATION NEEDED FOR ALVEOLAR


RECRUIMENT
• PROVIDES MECHANICAL BREATHS IN LOWER RATES
COMMON CRITERIA : ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE OR ACUTE HYPERCAPNIC
EXACERBATION OF COPD

PH – 7.35
PCO2 - >50 mmHg
PAO2 – <50mmHg
• ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE TYPE 1
> OXYGENATION - HYPOXEMIA

• ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE TYPE 2


> OXYGENATION AND VENTILATION
• No respiratory failure: Respiratory rate: 20-30 breaths per minute; no use of accessory respiratory
muscles; no changes in mental status; hypoxemia improved with supplemental oxygen given via
Venturi mask 28-35% inspired

• Acute respiratory failure – non-life-threatening: Respiratory rate: > 30 breaths per minute; using
accessory respiratory muscles; no change in mental status; hypoxemia improved with
supplemental oxygen via Venturi mask 25-30% FiO2; hypercarbia i.e., PaCO2 increased compared
with baseline or elevated 50-60 mmHg

• Acute respiratory failure – life-threatening: Respiratory rate: > 30 breaths per minute; using
accessory respiratory muscles; acute changes in mental status; hypoxemia not improved with
supplemental oxygen via Venturi mask or requiring FiO2 > 40%; hypercarbia i.e., PaCO2 increased
compared with baseline or elevated > 60 mmHg or the presence of acidosis (pH ≤ 7.25).
INDICATION AND CONTRAINDICATION
INDICATION:

• REDUCTION OF RESPIRATORY WORKLOAD IN OBESITY


• ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE
• ACUTE HYPERCAPNIC EXACERBATIONS OF COPD
CONTRAINDICATION:
• APNEA
• UNABLE TO HANDLE SECRETIONS
• FACIAL TRAUMA
• CLAUTROPHOBIA
NIV- CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE ( CPAP)

ALSO KNOWN AS “PEEP”


INITIAL SETTINGS : 4cmH20
- PROVIDES POSITIVE PRESSURE DURING SPONTANEOUS BREATHS AND
DOES NOT PROVIDE MECHANICAL BREATHS
- OR SAME SET OF IPAP AND EPAP IS KNOWN TO BE CPAP”
• INDICATION:

• OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA - DIAGNOSED BY


NOCTURNAL POLYSOMNOGRAPHY AND SEVERITY
BY APNEA AND DESATURATION INDEX

• APNEA-HYPONEA INDEX – REFERS AVERAGE


NUMBER OF APNEA OR HYPONEA
• Why need CPAP in patient with OSA?
- IF UNTREATED OSA MAY CAUSE THE FF:
• 1. HYPERTENSION
• 2. LEFT AND RIGHT VENTRICULAR HYPERTTROPHY
• 3.SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST
• 4.INCREASE BRAIN INFRACTION
TYPES OF NON-INVASIVE MASK
OBESITY
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Ensure proper sizing or best type of mask to be used.
2. Check for disconnection in tubing’s
3. Ensure proper fit in patients face before initiation of machine
4. Ensure proper explanation to patient before initiation
5. If poor synchronization occurs, check for leaks or alter IPAP maximum time
to improve synchronization
6. Do not increase IPAP or EPAP level beyond patient tolerance
ALARMS

• 1. LOW PRESSURE ALARMS – CHECK FOR LEAKS , DISCONNECTIONS OF


TUBINGS AND IMPROPER FITTING OF MASK
• 2.HIGH PRESSURE ALARMS – PATIENT IS FIGHTING THE VENTILATOR,
INCREASE SECRETIONS, COUGHING
• LOW VTE – CHECK FOR LEAKS, RESPIRATORY RATE
• HIGH VTE – RESPIRATROY RATE, COUGHING, TOO MUCH PRESSURE SET
PARTS OF PORTABLE VENTILATOR

• 1. Portable ventilator check for power cable and power supply make sure to
connect in a stable outlet to prevent unwanted disconnections.
• 2. Corrugated tubing's single limb or Double Limb
• 3. Humidifier Chamber/ Heat and Moisture Exchange Filter
• 4.Bacterial Filter
• 5. Mask/ Nasal with Strap
• 6. oxygen outler ( some ventilators)
