Effect of the I/E ratio on CO2 removal during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation with volume guarantee in a neonatal animal model of RDS.
European Journal of Pediatrics 2016 October
UNLABELLED: The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of I/E ratio on carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) combined with volume guarantee (VG). Five 2-day-old piglets were studied before and after a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). The effect of an I/E ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 with (VG-ON) and without VG (VG-OFF) on PaCO2, as well as delta and mean airway pressures at the airway opening (∆Phf-ao, mPaw-ao) and at the tracheal level (∆Phf-t, mPaw-t) were evaluated at frequencies of 5, 8, 11, and 14 Hz. With the VG-ON, PaCO2 was significant lower with the I/E ratio of 1:2 at 5 Hz compared with the 1:1. mPaw-t was higher than mPaw-ao, with 1:1 I/E ratio, and on VG-ON, this difference was statistically significant.
CONCLUSION: "In this animal study and with this ventilator, the I/E ratio of 1:1 compared to 1:2 in HFOV and VG-ON did not produce a higher CO2 lavage as when HFOV was used without the VG modality. Even more, a lower PaCO2 was found when using the lower frequency and 1:2 ratio compared to 1:1. So in contrast to non-VG HFOV mode, using a fixed tidal volume, no significant changes on CO2 elimination are observed during HFOV when the I/E ratios of 1:1 and 1:2 are compared at different frequencies."
WHAT IS KNOWN: •The tidal volume on HFOV is determinant in CO 2 removal, and this is generated by delta pressure and the length of the inspiratory time. What is New: •HFOV combined with VG, an I/E ratio of 1:2 is more effective to remove CO 2 , and this is not related to the tidal volume.
