BACKGROUND: Inhomogeneous lung ventilation and pulmonary air leaks are common adverse effects of mechanical ventilation in preterm infants suffering from respiratory distress syndrome. We hypothesized that shortening of inspiratory times can improve the homogeneity of lung aeration. We assumed that ultrashort inspiratory times lead to a full build-up of pressure in regions with low compliance while maintaining incomplete filling of regions with high compliance.
METHODS: We connected a two-compartment model of the lung with different compliances of the two compartments to a neonatal ventilator. Pressures and flow rates were measured separately for each compartment at inspiratory times ranging from 0.1 to 0.8 s and various combinations of tidal volumes.
RESULTS: An inspiratory time of 0.8 s resulted in near total pressure equalization between the airway pressure and the two compartments, as 97% of the maximum applied peak pressure was reached in the low compliance compartment and 95% in the high compliance compartment. The distribution of the tidal volume was proportional to the compartment compliance. Ultrashort inspiratory times lowered the peak pressure and tidal volume in the high compliance compartment but maintained higher pressure and volume in the low compliance compartment. An inspiratory time of 0.2 s resulted in a peak pressure of 80% of peak airway pressure in the low compliance compartment and in 61% of peak airway pressure in the high compliance compartment (p < .001).
CONCLUSION: Ventilation with ultrashort inspiratory times may improve homogeneity of air distribution in inhomogeneous lungs of ventilated preterm or term infants.
