SUCTION EFFECT VARIABLES | Model airway pressure reduction | Tidal volume reduction |
---|---|---|
ETT size reduction | Strong impact | Strong impact |
Suction device alteration | Bronchoscope > Closed catheter | Bronchoscope > Closed catheter |
Increased suction pressure | Strong impact | Vte reduced |
Ventilator PCV - > VCV | Moderate impact (ETT size dependent) | Vti unchanged, Vte reduced |
Inverse ratio ventilation | Strong impact in VCV (not PCV) | Vti increased |
Negative trigger sensitivity | Strong impact | Minor impact on Vti and Vte |
