Overview

  • Also known as BiVent, depending on the ventilator manufacturer
  • Utilizes:
    • Inverse ratio
    • Pressure controlled
    • Intermittent mandatory ventilation
    • With unrestricted spontaneous breathing

Indications

  • Severe ARDS, rescue therapy

Contraindications

Equipment Needed

Procedure

  • APRV (BiVent) to recruit alveoli, if minimal to no respiratory acidosis[1][2]
    • Start PHigh at PPlat at 28, try not to go beyond 35 cmH2O
    • PPlateau = desired Pmean + 3 cmH2O
    • PLow at 0 cmH2O for maximal expiration
    • THigh at 4.5-6 seconds (inspiratory time)
    • Tlow at 0.5-0.8 seconds (expiratory time), with TV 4-6 cc/kg
    • Automatic tube compensation ON if patient spontaneously breathing[3]
    • Full benefit of APRV is in patients that are not paralyzed that can provide spontaneous breaths
    • Wean by "dropping and stretching"
      • Every two hours or as tolerated, decrease PHigh by 1-2 cmH2O and increasing THight by 0.5 seconds per 1 cmH2O drop in PHigh
      • Monitor for drop in SpO2, increased work of breathing, tachypnea
      • Once PHigh reaches 10 cmH2O and THigh resaches 12-15 seconds with spontaneous respirations, change mode to CPAP with PEEP 10 cmH2O and PS 5-10 cmH2O, turn ATC off
