Abstract

AbstractBackgroundWhen ventilating extremely low birth weight infants, clinicians face the problem of instrumental dead space, which is often larger than tidal volume. Hence, aggressive ventilation is necessary to achieve CO2 removal. Continuous tracheal gas insufflation can wash out CO2 from dead space and might also have an impact on O2 and water vapor transport. The objective of this bench study is to test the impact of instrumental dead space on the transport of CO2, O2, and water vapor and the ability of continuous tracheal gas insufflation to remedy this problem during small tidal volume ventilation.MethodsA test‐lung located in an incubator at 37°C was ventilated with pressure levels needed to reach different tidal volumes from 1.5 to 5 mL. End‐tidal CO2 at the test‐lung exit, O2 concentration, and relative humidity in the test‐lung were measured for each tidal volume with and without a 0.2 L/min continuous tracheal gas insufflation flow.ResultsCO2 clearance was improved by continuous tracheal gas insufflation allowing a 28%–44% of tidal volume reduction. With continuous tracheal gas insufflation, time to reach desired O2 concentration was reduced from 20% to 80% and relative humidity was restored. These results are inversely related to tidal volume and are particularly critical below 3 mL.ConclusionFor the smallest tidal volumes, reduction of instrumental dead space seems mandatory for CO2, O2, and water vapor transfer. Continuous tracheal gas insufflation improved CO2 clearance, time to reach desired O2 concentration and humidification of airways and, thus, may be an option to protect lung development.
