Continuous mandatory ventilation — (CMV) is a mode of mechanical ventilation where breaths are delivered based on set variables. The ventilator does not sense patient effort. The ventilator is set to deliver a breath either by set pressures or set volume is delivered. volumes at a specific rate. A patient is able to breath during CMV but it is considerably more uncomfortable than intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV). CMV is formerly known as "assist control" or "controlled mechnical ventilation" but is now known as continuous mandatory ventilation in an attempt to standardize nomenclature.
Expected outcomes and considerations
Continuous mandatory ventilation is associated with profound diaphragm muscle dysfunction and atrophy.[1] CMV is no longer the preferred mode of mechanical ventilation.[2]
Volume-controlled CMV
Trigger
Breath initiation is based on time or patient initiation. Time is set by respiratory rate (Vf or RR) and patient initiation is sensed by a flow, volume or pressure trigger and a full ventilator breath (the set tidal volume) is given.
Limit
Limits in VC-CMV may be set and pressure based. The ventilator will attempt to deliver the set tidal volume utilizing whatever pressure is required to reach its setting. A pressure limit may be added to limit damage to the lungs (barotrauma).
Cycle
Expiration cycling can be set by time or the pressure limit. Once the Ti (inspiratory time) is reached, or a pressure limit is reached the ventilator will cycle into expiratory mode and allow passive exhalation until another breath is triggered.
Pressure-controlled CMV
Pressure control (PC) is a pressure-controlled mode of ventilation. The ventilator delivers a flow to maintain the preset pressure at a preset respiratory rate over a preset inspiratory time.[3]
The pressure is constant during the inspiratory time and the flow is decelerating. If for any reason pressure decreases during inspiration, the flow from the ventilator will immediately increase to maintain the set inspiratory pressure.[4]
Pressure regulated volume control
PRVC — Pressure regulated volume control is a pressure controlled mode (even though "volume control" is used in the name) with a VT set as a goal amount. Pressure varies with a peak pressure limit included to reduce lung trauma and use only the minimum pressure required to deliver the goal tidal volume (VT). Pressure regulated volume control is a mode of mechanical ventilation where the breaths are delivered mandatorily to assure preset volumes, with a constant inspiratory pressure continuously adapting to the patient's condition. The flow pattern is decelerating. This mode is a form of intermittent mandatory ventilation, the breaths can either be ventilator initiated or patient initiated. This mode combines the advantages of volume controlled and pressure controlled ventilation.
The first breath delivered to the patient is a volume controlled breath. The measured plateau pressure is used as the pressure level for the next breath. The pressure is constant during the set inspiratory time and the flow is decelerating. The set tidal volume is achieved by automatic, breath-by-breath pressure regulation. The ventilator will adjust the inspiratory pressure control level, according to the mechanical properties of the airways/lung/thorax, to the lowest possible level to guarantee the preset tidal volume. If the measured tidal volume increases above the preset, the pressure level decreases in steps of maximum 3 cmH2O (300 Pa) between consecutive breaths until the preset tidal volume is delivered. Maximum available pressure level is 5 cmH2O (500 Pa) below a preset upper pressure limit.
Advantages
- Maintains a minimum positive pressure(PIP)
- Guaranteed tidal volume (VT)
- Patient has very little work of breathing (WOB) requirement.
- Allows patient control of respiratory rate Decelerating flow waveform for improved gas distribution
- Breath by breath analysis
Disadvantages
- Varying mean airway pressure
- May cause or worsen autoPEEP
- When patient demand is increased, pressure level may diminish when support is needed
- May be tolerated poorly in awake non-sedated patients
- A sudden increase in respiratory rate and demand may result in a decrease in ventilator support
Dräger v500
VC-CMV in the Dräger V500
The Dräger v500 ventilator can apply the VC-CMV mode as a volume-controlled, time-cycled, machine-triggered mode with a constant inspiratory flow.. On this ventilator in VC-CMV the patient receives the set tidal volume (VT) with every mandatory breath. The applied breathing volume is independent of changes in the lung mechanics. The number of mandatory breath is defined by the frequency (f or RR). This means that the minute volume (MV) remains constant over time.
VC-AC in the Dräger V500
Though it is not the preferred nomenclature, the Dräger V500 has an assist control mode (VC-AC). In the ventilation mode VC-AC, the patient always receives at least the set tidal volume (VT).
In VC-AC, every detected inspiration effort of the patient at PEEP level triggers an additional mandatory breath. The patient thus determines the number of additional mandatory breaths. To give the patient sufficient time for expiration, it is not possible to trigger another mandatory breath immediately after a completed breath.
If after the completion of the expiratory time no mandatory breath has been triggered, a mandatory breath is automatically applied (backup frequency). The control knob for respiratory rate (RR) therefore defines the minimum ventilation frequency. Because the number of mandatory breaths depends both on the patient and the set frequency (RR), the minute volume (MV) can vary.
Out-dated terminology
Many terms have been developed to describe the same modes of mechanical ventilation. Nomenclature of mechanical ventilation has become more standardized and these terms are no longer preferred but still may be seen in older research[5] there are many different names that historically were used to reference CMV but now reference Assist Control[5]. Names such as: volume control ventilation, and volume cycled ventilation in modern usage refer to the Assist Control mode.
- Assist/control
- A/C
- CMV
- Volume assist/control
- Volume control
- Volume limited ventilation
- Volume controlled ventilation
- Controlled ventilation
- Volume targeted ventilation
