Airway occlusion pressure at 0.1 sec (P0.1) is an index of respiratory center output. During pressure-support ventilation, P0.1 correlates with the mechanical output of the inspiratory muscles and has an inverse relationship with the amount of pressure-support ventilation. Based on these observations, we designed a closed-loop control which, by automatically adjusting pressure-support ventilation, stabilizes P0.1, and hence patient inspiratory activity, at a desired target.

Abstract

Airway occlusion pressure at 0.1 sec (P0.1) is an index of respiratory center output. During pressure-support ventilation, P0.1 correlates with the mechanical output of the inspiratory muscles and has an inverse relationship with the amount of pressure-support ventilation. Based on these observations, we designed a closed-loop control which, by automatically adjusting pressure-support ventilation, stabilizes P0.1, and hence patient inspiratory activity, at a desired target. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility of the method, rather than its efficacy or even its influence on patient outcome.
