Summary

Instabilities in proportional assist ventilation (PAV) arise from the ventilatory system's complex dynamics, not just mechanical changes. Mathematical modeling reveals two key behaviors—oscillations and damping—governing assisted breathing.

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Mathematical Modeling

Background:

  • Ventilatory support monitoring challenges stem from misunderstandings of ventilatory system dynamics.
  • Proportional assist ventilation (PAV) can exhibit instability at high assistance levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a mathematical model of the ventilatory system including the respiratory pattern generator, mechanical system, and ventilator.
  • To investigate the dynamical behaviors of spontaneous and assisted breathing.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed a mathematical model integrating a Van der Pol oscillator for the central respiratory pattern generator, the passive mechanical respiratory system, and a controlled ventilator.
  • Performed dynamical analysis of the model under spontaneous breathing and PAV conditions.

Main Results:

  • Identified two critical dynamical behaviors: oscillations and damping, dependent on the mechanical system's time constant and a cumulative interaction index.
  • Observed these behaviors in both spontaneous breathing and PAV simulations.
  • In PAV, increasing assistance initially increased tidal volume (VT), then decreased it, leading to system damping.

Conclusions:

  • Ventilatory system instabilities in PAV are likely due to inherent dynamical behaviors, not solely alterations in respiratory system mechanics.
  • The model provides insights into the complex interactions governing breathing under assisted ventilation.
