EDITOR: A spontaneously breathing, intubated patient has to overcome the resistances imposed by the tracheal tube, the ventilator and its circuit. This is usually called ‘additional work of breathing’. Pressure support ventilation has been widely used to compensate for additional work of breathing. Pressure support ventilation is not ideal, however, because it applies a constant positive pressure throughout inspiration [1]. Recently, two alternative ventilatory modes have appeared: automatic tube compensation and amplified spontaneous pattern. Automatic tube compensation [2] was designed solely for the purpose of compensating for additional work of breathing. It applies an inspiratory airway pressure that varies almost instantaneously according to the pressure drop generated by the patient across the tracheal tube. Amplified spontaneous ventilation [3] is another spontaneous breathing support implemented in the Vector XXI ventilator. It includes a respiratory interface which is connected directly to the tracheal tube. In this device a flow generator, inspiratory and expiratory valves, a pneumotachograph, connections for pressure measurement and activation of the trigger are incorporated. Neither volume nor pressure is preset but there is an amplification factor (between 1 and 10) of the patient’s spontaneous flow. The patient’s flow and the proportional change of the applied inspiratory flow as a function of the resistance provided by the tracheal tube are continuously calculated. We have compared these three modes with respect to ability to compensate for additional work of breathing and breathing pattern. With Hospital Ethics Committee approval, we studied 30 postoperative patients (age 65 8 yr) during ventilator weaning in the post-surgical intensive care unit (ICU). Inclusion criteria were scheduled major surgery (cardiac, orthopaedic, general or neurosurgery), requiring mechanical ventilation and absence of prior pulmonary disease. An Edgar tracheal tube (Rusch, USA) that allows measurement of tracheal pressure was used. On admission to the ICU, controlled mechanical ventilation was initiated and the patients were randomized to one of three groups: pressure support ventilation (Evita 4; Dräger, Germany; n 10), automatic tube compensation (Evita 4; Dräger, Germany; n 10) or amplified spontaneous pattern (Vector XXI; Temel, Spain; n 10). Controlled ventilation was maintained until standard weaning criteria were achieved. During weaning, pressure support ventilation was used initially in all three groups. The mode of each group was selected when the following characteristics were present: pressure support ventilation 15 cmH2O, minute volume 10 L min 1, respiratory rate 20 min 1, PaO2: FiO2 ratio 27, PaCO2 between 4.7 and 6 kPa and absence of metabolic disorders. Four support levels were studied in each group decreasing progressively: pressure support ventilation 15, 10, 5 and 0 cmH2O; automatic tube compensation 100%, 60%, 20% and 0%; and amplified spontaneous pattern 8, 6, 4 and 1. The final step before extubation was T-piece ventilation, which was used as control level in all groups. At minimum support levels (pressure support ventilation, 0; automatic tube compensation, 0; and amplified spontaneous pattern, 1) the patients have to overcome the entire resistance load of the ventilatory system and we considered this to constitute the total additional work of breathing. At each support level, including T-piece breathing, the patients were allowed to equilibrate for 15min before measurements. End-expiratory pressure (0cmH2O) and inspired oxygen fraction (40%) were similar in all three groups. Trigger sensitivity was set at …
