Mechanical ventilation is an important, often life-saving component of modern intensive care medicine. However, it may further aggravate pulmonary pathology by endinspiratory overdistension of the alveoli or by their endexpiratory collapse. To prevent both the ventilator may be adjusted based on the slope of the pressure-volume curve, named as compliance, which is often determined by a stepwise inflation of the lungs. This maneuver gained no widespread clinical acceptance because of being cumbersome and invasive. Therefore, we developed a modification of the well known interrupter technique the Traveling Shutter Wave. A wave of short-term (300 ms) occlusions travels over the tidal volume range. Differential compliance is calculated by division of volume and pressure differences between two adjacent occlusion maneuvers. The technique is well suited for the clinical setting because the ventilatory pattern does not need to be changed. This manuscript describes the realization of the Traveling Shutter Wave as well as its application in two patients. |
