Measurement of Entrainment Ratio During High Frequency Jet Ventilation

Abstract: We have measured tidal (VT), entrained (Ve) and "blowback" (Vbb) volumes during high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) through a Mallinckrodt Hi-Lo Jet tracheal tube in anaesthetized patients. The above volumes were calculated by digital integration of the appropriate regions of flow curves derived from a pneumotachograph placed between the bias flow tubing and the tracheal tube. At a driving pressure of 1 bar, lung minute ventilation increased with increasing ventilatory frequency, whilst tidal volumes decreas… Show more

“…Je nach Katheter-oder Düsenkonfiguration wird Umgebungsluft mitgerissen (Venturi-Effekt oder ᭤ "air entrainment"), so daß eine Vergrößerung des vom Ventilator abgegebenen Beatmungsvolumens resultiert [18]. Die Größenordnung des Entrainments (V e ) ist im Verlauf eines Eingriffs großen Schwankungen unterworfen, da es von einer Vielzahl wechselnder Faktoren abhängt.…”

“…Jones et al . measured the entrainment ratio during jet ventilation of anaesthetized patients using the Penlon Bromsgrave jet ventilator 17 . The highest entrainment ratio observed was 20% at a low inspiratory time–total time ratio (I : T) and this decreased to a negligible value as I : T and frequency increased.…”
