OBJECTIVE To compare volume-controlled inverse ratio ventilation (VCIRV) with volume-controlled ventilation with conventional inspiratory to expiratory (I:E) ratio (VCV PEEP) at equal levels of end-expiratory pressure. METHODS Animal study using an oleic acid lung injury model with random application of VCV PEEP and VCIRV. METHODS Experimental investigation at the Department of Clinical Physiology at Uppsala University. METHODS Seven pigs. METHODS VCV PEEP, VCIRV at an end-expiratory pressure level of 10 cm H2O. RESULTS Lung mechanics, hemodynamics, gas exchange, and functional residual capacity. Recruitment of lung tissue, regional lung density, and distribution of inspired gas by computed tomography. Mean and peak airway pressures were 22 +/- 4 and 41 +/- 8 cm H2O with VCIRV and 18 +/- 2 and 45 +/- 7 cm H2O with VCV PEEP. Cardiac output and arterial oxygen tension were equal with VCV PEEP and VCIRV as were static compliance, physiologic dead space, and functional residual capacity. End-expiratory, end-inspiratory, and CT densities during a full ventilatory cycle were not statistically different and the amounts of nonaerated and poorly aerated lung areas were of equal size with VCV PEEP and VCIRV. CONCLUSIONS VCIRV was comparable to VCV PEEP at similar PEEP levels in alveolar recruitment, aeration of the lung tissues, and in oxygenating the blood. Since cardiac output also remained unchanged, oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues did not differ significantly between the two modes. Neither method has thus proved superior to the other one.

D011897 Random Allocation A process involving chance used in therapeutic trials or other research endeavor for allocating experimental subjects, human or animal, between treatment and control groups, or among treatment groups. It may also apply to experiments on inanimate objects. Randomization,Allocation, Random
D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).
