ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To find out the circuit pressure and flow at the trigger point by observing the characteristics of the inspiratory trigger waveform of the ventilator, confirm the intra-alveolar pressure as the index to reflect the effort of the trigger according to the working principle of the ventilator combined with the laws of respiratory mechanics, establish the related mathematical formula, and analyze its influencing factors and logical relationship.@*METHODS@#A test-lung was connected to the circuit in a PB840 ventilator and a SV600 ventilator set in pressure-support mode. The positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was set at 5 cmH2O (1 cmH2O ≈ 0.098 kPa), and the wall of test-lung was pulled outwards till an inspiratory was effectively triggered separately in slow, medium, fast power, and separately in flow-trigger mode (sensitivity VTrig 3 L/min, 5 L/min) and pressure-trigger mode (sensitivity PTrig 2 cmH2O, 4 cmH2O). By adjusting the scale of the curve in the ventilator display, the loop pressure and flow corresponding to the trigger point under different triggering conditions were observed. Taking intraalveolar pressure (Pa) as the research object, the Pa (called Pa-T) needed to reach the effective trigger time (TT) was analyzed in the method of respiratory mechanics, and the amplitude of pressure change (ΔP) and the time span (ΔT) of Pa during triggering were also analyzed.@*RESULTS@#(1) Corresponding relationship between pressure and flow rate at TT time in flow-trigger mode, in slow, medium and fast trigger, the inhalation flow rate was VTrig, and the circuit pressure was separately PEEP, PEEP-Pn, and PEEP-Pn' (Pn, Pn', being the decline range, and Pn' > Pn). In pressure-trigger mode, the inhalation flow rate was 1 L/min (PB840 ventilator) or 2 L/min (SV600 ventilator), and the circuit pressure was PEEP-PTrig. (2) Calculation of Pa-T in flow-trigger mode, in slow trigger Pa-T = PEEP-VTrigR (R represented airway resistance). In medium trigger Pa-T = PEEP-Pn-VTrigR. In fast trigger Pa-T = PEEP-Pn'-VTrigR. In pressure-trigger mode Pa-T = PEEP-PTrig-1R. (3) Calculation of ΔP in flow trigger mode, in flow trigger without intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi), ΔP = VTrigR; with PEEPi, ΔP = PEEPi-PEEP+VTrigR. In medium trigger without PEEPi, ΔP = Pn+VTrigR; with PEEPi, ΔP = PEEPi-PEEP+Pn+VTrigR. In fast trigger without PEEPi, ΔP = Pn'+VTrigR; with PEEPi, ΔP = PEEPi-PEEP+Pn'+VTrigR. In pressure-trigger mode, without PEEPi, ΔP = PTrig+1R; with PEEPi, ΔP = PEEPi-PEEP+PTrig+1R. (4) Pressure time change rate of Pa (FP) FP = ΔP/ΔT. In the same ΔP, the shorter the ΔT, the greater the triggering ability. Similarly, in the same ΔT, the bigger the ΔP, the greater the triggering ability. The FP could better reflect the patient's triggering ability.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The patient's inspiratory effort is reflected by three indicators the minimum intrapulmonary pressure required for triggering, the pressure span of intrapulmonary pressure, and the pressure time change rate of intrapulmonary pressure, and formula is established, which can intuitively present the logical relationship between inspiratory trigger related factors and facilitate clinical analysis.
