Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Model-based lung mechanics monitoring can provide clinically useful information for guiding mechanical ventilator treatment in intensive care. However, many methods of measuring lung mechanics are not appropriate for both fully and partially sedated patients, and are unable provide lung mechanics metrics in real-time. This study proposes a novel method of using lung mechanics identified during passive expiration to estimate inspiratory lung mechanics for spontaneously breathing patients. METHODS:Relationships between inspiratory and expiratory modeled lung mechanics were identified from clinical data from 4 fully sedated patients. The validity of these relationships were assessed using data from a further 4 spontaneously breathing patients. RESULTS:For the fully sedated patients, a linear relationship was identified between inspiratory and expiratory elastance, with slope 1.04 and intercept 1.66. The r value of this correlation was 0.94. No cohort-wide relationship was determined for airway resistance. Expiratory elastance measurements in spontaneously breathing patients were able to produce reasonable estimates of inspiratory elastance after adjusting for the identified difference between them. CONCLUSIONS:This study shows that when conventional methods fail, typically ignored expiratory data may be able to provide clinicians with the information needed about patient condition to guide MV therapy.
