Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of ventilatory assistance, and in particular, to methods and apparatus for determining suitable ventilator settings in patients with alveolar hypoventilation during sleep, and for delivery of those settings.
  • a servoventilator incorporates a mechanism for slowly changing the target ventilation over a period of time, according to a preprogrammed schedule set by the physician.
  • the intention will be that the target ventilation increases over a period of time, from a first level to a second level, then stay at the second level thereafter. This increase could occur according to any arbitrary increasing function of time.
  • the rate of increase, R may be calculated from the initial target ventilation V 1 , the final target ventilation V 2 , and a target ventilation ramp time t r , all these settings being entered by the clinician using the following equations:
  • the rate of increase of target ventilation may be lowered or even set to zero temporarily, so it takes longer to reach the final target ventilation, or in some cases the final target ventilation may never be achieved.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an embodiment of my invention.
  • the x-axis shows time
  • the y-axis shows ventilator target ventilation.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates servo-ventilator apparatus 5 suitable to perform the invention.
  • An electric motor 20 has an impeller Ij) and is under the control of a controller circuit 40. In use the motor and impeller is housed in a volute 25, which in use allows a flow of pressurized air to pass along the air delivery conduit 60 to a suitable patient interface 50.
  • the patient interface 50 may be a nasal mask, or nose and mouth mask, a full-face mask or some other suitable device.
  • a pressure sense tube 70 between the patient interface 50 and a pressure sensor 75 allows the controller 40 to sense pressure in the patient interface 50.
  • the controller 40 can also determine the flow rate and of air along the air delivery conduit 60 via a flow sensor (not shown).
  • the apparatus includes a display 90 and keyboard 80 which allow someone, for example a clinician, to set appropriate target ventilators and ramp times in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • target ventilation settings may be accomplished as described in US patent 6,644,312, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
  • suitable initial target ventilator settings for use with a servoventilator may be determined by measurements and observations made on the subject patient while awake during a learning period.
  • the target ventilation may be a fixed percentage of an average ventilation taken over a portion of the learning period.
  • the servo-control of ventilation is disabled, and the device is set to deliver a fixed minimum degree of support, typically 6 cmH2O chosen to make the patient feel comfortable.
  • ventilation is measured and oxygen saturation levels may be measured by an oximeter.
  • a target ventilation for use during sleep is selected or determined based on the ventilation measurements and optionally oxygen saturation measurements. Where the PCO2 of the subject patient would be higher than desired by the clinician, a final target ventilation can be determined by multiplying an initial target ventilation by the ratio of the PCO2 value to a desired PCO2 value.
  • a clinical algorithm embodying the invention is:
  • the pressure support level can be programmed, after an initial hold time, to increase at a certain rate until it reaches a final pressure support level.
  • the second duration may be several weeks.
  • the change in level of ventilation is an increase.
  • the change in level of ventilation is automatically controlled.
