OBJECTIVE Compare the inspiratory work of breathing (WOBI) during pressure triggering (PT), and flow triggering (FT) using two microprocessor ventilators. METHODS A randomized, crossover comparison of triggering strategies and ventilators used. METHODS Surgical intensive care unit. METHODS Ten patients recovering from acute respiratory failure (eight men, two women; mean age, 48 +/- 12 years) breathing on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of 5 cm H2O were studied. METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to either receive 5 cm H2O CPAP via one of two units (Hamilton Veolar or Puritan Bennett 7200ae) using either PT or FT. Each patient had 30-min trials using the following: (1) Veolar FT; (2) Veolar PT; (3) 7200ae FT; and (4) 7200ae FT. RESULTS During each trial period, work of breathing (WOB) and pressure time product (PTP) were measured using a respiratory monitor (Bi-core CP-100). All patients were placed in semi-Fowler position and esophageal balloons were inserted and their position confirmed using the occlusion technique. Continuous measurements of peak negative pressure during inspiration, tidal volume (VT), minute ventilation (VE), respiratory frequency (f) were accomplished with a flow transducer at the proximal airway. FT with the 7200ae was superior to PT as measured by both the WOB (0.58 +/- 0.3 vs 0.84 +/- 0.2 J/L, p < 0.01) and PTP (148 +/- 50 vs 206 +/- 41 cm H2O/s/min, p, 0.05). FT with the Veolar was also superior to PT with respect to the WOB (0.53 +/- 0.2 vs 0.93 +/- 0.2 J/L, p < 0.01) and PTP (140 +/- 39 vs 229 +/- 46 cm H2O/s/min, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS FT reduces the WOB compared with PT, regardless of the ventilator used. The reduction in WOB during FT is related to improved responsiveness and changes in the posttrigger phase.

D014939 Work of Breathing RESPIRATORY MUSCLE contraction during INHALATION. The work is accomplished in three phases: LUNG COMPLIANCE work, that required to expand the LUNGS against its elastic forces; tissue resistance work, that required to overcome the viscosity of the lung and chest wall structures; and AIRWAY RESISTANCE work, that required to overcome airway resistance during the movement of air into the lungs. Work of breathing does not refer to expiration, which is entirely a passive process caused by elastic recoil of the lung and chest cage.

D018592 Cross-Over Studies Studies comparing two or more treatments or interventions in which the subjects or patients, upon completion of the course of one treatment, are switched to another. In the case of two treatments, A and B, half the subjects are randomly allocated to receive these in the order A, B and half to receive them in the order B, A. A criticism of this design is that effects of the first treatment may carry over into the period when the second is given.
