Method for adjusting ventilation in mechanically ventilated subjects
The patent US12064552B2 outlines a method and apparatus for enhancing effective ventilation in mechanically ventilated subjects. The method involves a ventilation pattern that alternates between phases of increased and decreased ventilation. During the decreased ventilation phase, a prolonged breath is administered, which includes a respiratory pause (IRP). This pause is initiated when the lung pressure (Palv) of the subject is within a specified range—greater than a minimum lung pressure and less than a maximum lung pressure. The method also specifies that the respiratory pause can occur at an intermediate pressure level (PIRP) that is strategically positioned between the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of the previous breath and the end-inspiratory pressure of the prolonged breath.
Additionally, the patent describes a breathing apparatus equipped with a control computer that implements this ventilation method. The apparatus is designed to monitor lung pressures and adjust the respiratory pauses accordingly. It can also include sensors to measure expiratory flow and CO2 content, enabling the non-invasive determination of hemodynamic parameters related to the subject's condition. The hemodynamic assessment can be performed using a CO2-based Fick technique, which further enhances the apparatus's capability to optimize ventilation and monitor the subject's respiratory status effectively. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to improving mechanical ventilation through controlled respiratory patterns and real-time monitoring.
