                      Recommendations and Guidelines for Implementation
                        of High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV)



I. Physician Order Privileges and Restrictions:
    1. To ensure competent administration of this single ventilator resource, implementation of HFOV must
    include approval from an ICU fellow or attending physician.

    2. HFOV should not be implemented as an initial form of mechanical ventilation. The indications and
    subsequent initial parameters for HFOV evolve from pre-existing parameters during conventional
    mechanical ventilation.

    3. Due to the possibility of explosion, under no circumstances should the SensorMedics 3100 ventilator
    be used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.


II. Indications and Patient Selection:

    1. Patients with severe ARDS requiring an FiO2>0.60 with a mean airway pressure (Pmaw) > 24 cmH2O
    may be considered for a trial of HFOV if a “lung protective” target Pplat < 30 - 35 cmH2O cannot be
    maintained with pressure control ventilation. In practice, patients considered for HFOV have generally
    been tried on “high” PEEP and/or pressure control ventilation (PCV) with extended inspiratory times to
    raise Pmaw. A Pmaw =24 cmH2O while on conventional ventilation is a reasonable threshold to
    consider changing to HFOV. Early institution of HFOV in patients deteriorating on conventional
    mechanical ventilation may be important to improved survival, although this has not yet been rigorously
    established.

    2. Failure to improve the oxygenation within the first 24 –48 hours is indicative of a poor response to
    HFOV, which may be prognostic for a decreased likelihood for survival. For example, patients with late
    phase fibroproliferative ARDS, when the alveolar architecture is severely damaged, are less likely to
    respond.

III. Patient Preparation:

    1. Prior to starting a patient on HFOV, it is imperative that the patient’s airway is suctioned and known
    to be patent. If fiberoptic bronchoscopy is indicated, it should be performed before initiating HFOV.

    2. Ensure adequate titration of sedation, analgesia, and neuromuscular blockade while the patient is still
    on conventional ventilation. The patient’s intravascular volume status should be reassessed given that a
    higher Pmaw will be used with HFOV, leading to the potential for hypotension secondary to elevated
    intrathoracic pressures and reduced preload.

IV. Initial HFOV Settings:

       1. OXYGENATION:
    The main determinant of oxygenation during HFOV is the Pmaw, which is generally initiated at 5
    cmH2O higher than the Pmaw noted during conventional ventilation. Hemodynamically unstable
    patients may be started on a Pmaw either the same or 2 – 3 cmH2O above Pmaw during conventional
    ventilation. Brief hypotension shortly after starting HFOV is usually managed with a trial of fluid
    boluses to improve preload. FiO2 is usually set at 1.00 after the transition to HFOV, and then tapered
    using oximetry guidance to maintain SpO2 >90%. If the SpO2 (or PaO2) has not improved enough to
    allow weaning of FiO2, the Pmaw is raised in 2-3 cmH2O increments at 30 – 60 minute intervals in the
    hopes of improving lung recruitment. The time course of oxygenation change after initiation of HFOV
    (or after increasing Pmaw) is variable. Some patients may slowly improve oxygenation only after a
    period of several hours. Vigilance and patience are required during the early phase of treatment. The
    maximum Pmaw generally obtained with the SensorMedics 3100B is 45 – 55 cmH2O. Patients with
    large bronchopleural fistulas or endotracheal cuff leaks may have difficulty achieving a desired Pmaw
    without increasing the bias flow. In some patients with very severe air leaks, a maximum bias flow (60
    lpm) may be required.

    2. VENTILATION:
    The main determinants of PaCO2 elimination are the pressure amplitude of oscillation (P) and
    the frequency setting (hertz). Increasing the amplitude and decreasing the frequency (Hz) will increase
    the delivered tidal volume and lower the PaCO2. Conversely, decreasing amplitude and increasing
    frequency (Hz) will reduce delivered tidal volume and allow PaCO2 to rise. The amplitude is generally
    initiated at either a value where the patient’s chest vibrates down to their mid-thigh. Alternatively, initial
    amplitude may be set to observe adequate “chest wall vibration”. Initial frequency is usually set at 5 Hz.
    Patients who demonstrate rapidly rising PaCO2 on HFOV should have aggressive increases in amplitude
    (10 to 20 cmH2O) and reduced Hz to the lowest value achievable (3 Hz on the SensorMedics 3100B). An
    adjunct to improving PaCO2 elimination is to briefly disconnect the patient from HFOV and vigorously
    manually ventilate with a PEEP-valve equipped bag. Aggressive action is required for a rapidly rising
    PaCO2 during initiation of HFOV because improvements in PaCO2 do not occur as quickly as when
    changes are made to conventional ventilators. An ABG should be drawn 15 to 20 minutes after starting
    HFOV to determine the trend of the PaCO2. Subsequent ABG’s are generally obtained at 30 to 60
    minute intervals until stabilization occurs.

V. Guidelines for Initial HFOV Settings:

    1. Prior to initiating HFOV, perform a recruitment maneuver on the oscillator by increasing Paw to 40
    cmH2O for 30-40 seconds. NOTE: the oscillator should be OFF during the maneuver. Immediately abort
    the maneuver if hemodynamic compromise occurs.

    2. Set initial Paw at 5 cmH2O above conventional ventilator Pmaw.

    3. Set power to achieve initial amplitude at chest oscillation to mid-thigh.

    4. Set Hz at 5. Set IT to 33% (may increase to 50% if difficulty with oxygenation; this may further raise
    carinal pressure an additional 2 – 4 cmH2O).

    5. If oxygenation worsens, increase Pmaw in 2 – 3 cmH2O increments q 30 minutes until
    maximum setting (approximately 45 – 55 cmH2O).
STANFORD HOSPITAL & CLINICS                                                RESPIRATORY CARE SERVICES            3


    6. If PaCO2 worsens (but pH > 7.2), increase amplitude in 10 cmH2O increments q 30 minutes up to
    the maximum setting. After maximum amplitude is achieved, if necessary, decrease Hz to the
    minimum setting of 3 Hz.

    7. If severe hypercapnea occurs, with pH < 7.2, bag patient, set maximum amplitude, Hz at 3, and try a
    small cuff leak (5 cmH2O and then compensate bias flow); rule out endotracheal tube obstruction.

    8. If oxygenation improves, gradually wean FiO2 to 0.40, then slowly reduce Pmaw 2-3
    cmH2O q 4 – 6 hours until 22 – 24 cmH2O range.

    9. When the above goal is met, switch to PCV (initial settings: peak pressure titrated to achieve
    delivered VT 6 ml/kg IBW, Pplat < 30 - 35 cmH2O), I:E 1:1, PEEP 12 cmH2O, rate 20 – 25,
    Paw should be 20 cmH2O (+/- 2 cmH2O).

VI. Weaning from HFOV:
    The principle goal of using HFOV in treating patients with ARDS is to achieve a nontoxic FiO2 (<0.60)
    while minimizing ventilator induced lung injury. When patients respond with improved oxygenation, the
    first weaning maneuver therefore is to reduce the FiO2 before any reduction is considered in Pmaw. A
    reduction of FiO2 to 0.40 with a target SpO2 > 90% before attempting reductions in Pmaw is
    recommended. If the patient can maintain a SpO2 > 90% on a FiO2 0.40, a gradual reduction of Pmaw
    (e.g. decrease 1– 2 cmH2O q 30 minutes as tolerated) should be attempted. If the SpO2 decreases during
    Pmaw reduction, resume the previous Pmaw that was able to maintain a SpO2 > 90% on FiO2 0.40.
    Perform an ABG and CXR for every total Pmaw reduction of 5 cmH2O. Once a Pmaw of 20 – 24
    cmH2O has been achieved while maintaining a FiO2 of 40%, the patient can be switched back to a trial
    of conventional ventilation. (See V. (9)Guidelines for Initial HFOV Settings) Obtain an arterial blood
    gas 15 - 20 minutes after transfer to conventional ventilation to guide further ventilator adjustments.

VII. Potential Complications:
    1. HYPOTENSION
    Occasionally, patients will develop hypotension shortly following transfer to HFOV or as Pmaw
    is raised. This usually implies relative hypovolemia and responds to intravenous fluid boluses and/or
    vasopressors as indicated.

    2. PNEUMOTHORAX
    Tension pneumothorax occurring during HFOV may not cause changes to the displayed Pmaw or
    amplitude as the patient develops progressive hypotension and desaturation. A high index of suspicion is
    necessary for pneumothorax and confirmation (if time permits) requires an immediate CXR. It may be
    difficult by auscultation alone to detect the side of the pneumothorax during HFOV secondary to
    background noise of the ventilator and the diffuse transmission of airway sounds. The visual loss of
    chest oscillation that usually occurs on the affected side may provide an important physical sign.

    3. ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE OBSTRUCTION
    Subtotal occlusion of the endotracheal tube may result in refractory hypercapnea. An
    abrupt rise in PaCO2 and loss of visual chest oscillation in an otherwise stable patient may be secondary
    to an obstructed or narrowed endotracheal tube. A suction catheter should be passed immediately to
    ensure patency of the endotracheal tube.

Hfov guidelines

  • 1. STANFORD HOSPITAL & CLINICS RESPIRATORY CARE SERVICES 1 Recommendations and Guidelines for Implementation of High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) I. Physician Order Privileges and Restrictions: 1. To ensure competent administration of this single ventilator resource, implementation of HFOV must include approval from an ICU fellow or attending physician. 2. HFOV should not be implemented as an initial form of mechanical ventilation. The indications and subsequent initial parameters for HFOV evolve from pre-existing parameters during conventional mechanical ventilation. 3. Due to the possibility of explosion, under no circumstances should the SensorMedics 3100 ventilator be used in the presence of flammable anesthetics. II. Indications and Patient Selection: 1. Patients with severe ARDS requiring an FiO2>0.60 with a mean airway pressure (Pmaw) > 24 cmH2O may be considered for a trial of HFOV if a “lung protective” target Pplat < 30 - 35 cmH2O cannot be maintained with pressure control ventilation. In practice, patients considered for HFOV have generally been tried on “high” PEEP and/or pressure control ventilation (PCV) with extended inspiratory times to raise Pmaw. A Pmaw =24 cmH2O while on conventional ventilation is a reasonable threshold to consider changing to HFOV. Early institution of HFOV in patients deteriorating on conventional mechanical ventilation may be important to improved survival, although this has not yet been rigorously established. 2. Failure to improve the oxygenation within the first 24 –48 hours is indicative of a poor response to HFOV, which may be prognostic for a decreased likelihood for survival. For example, patients with late phase fibroproliferative ARDS, when the alveolar architecture is severely damaged, are less likely to respond. III. Patient Preparation: 1. Prior to starting a patient on HFOV, it is imperative that the patient’s airway is suctioned and known to be patent. If fiberoptic bronchoscopy is indicated, it should be performed before initiating HFOV. 2. Ensure adequate titration of sedation, analgesia, and neuromuscular blockade while the patient is still on conventional ventilation. The patient’s intravascular volume status should be reassessed given that a higher Pmaw will be used with HFOV, leading to the potential for hypotension secondary to elevated intrathoracic pressures and reduced preload.
  • 2. STANFORD HOSPITAL & CLINICS RESPIRATORY CARE SERVICES 2 IV. Initial HFOV Settings: 1. OXYGENATION: The main determinant of oxygenation during HFOV is the Pmaw, which is generally initiated at 5 cmH2O higher than the Pmaw noted during conventional ventilation. Hemodynamically unstable patients may be started on a Pmaw either the same or 2 – 3 cmH2O above Pmaw during conventional ventilation. Brief hypotension shortly after starting HFOV is usually managed with a trial of fluid boluses to improve preload. FiO2 is usually set at 1.00 after the transition to HFOV, and then tapered using oximetry guidance to maintain SpO2 >90%. If the SpO2 (or PaO2) has not improved enough to allow weaning of FiO2, the Pmaw is raised in 2-3 cmH2O increments at 30 – 60 minute intervals in the hopes of improving lung recruitment. The time course of oxygenation change after initiation of HFOV (or after increasing Pmaw) is variable. Some patients may slowly improve oxygenation only after a period of several hours. Vigilance and patience are required during the early phase of treatment. The maximum Pmaw generally obtained with the SensorMedics 3100B is 45 – 55 cmH2O. Patients with large bronchopleural fistulas or endotracheal cuff leaks may have difficulty achieving a desired Pmaw without increasing the bias flow. In some patients with very severe air leaks, a maximum bias flow (60 lpm) may be required. 2. VENTILATION: The main determinants of PaCO2 elimination are the pressure amplitude of oscillation (P) and the frequency setting (hertz). Increasing the amplitude and decreasing the frequency (Hz) will increase the delivered tidal volume and lower the PaCO2. Conversely, decreasing amplitude and increasing frequency (Hz) will reduce delivered tidal volume and allow PaCO2 to rise. The amplitude is generally initiated at either a value where the patient’s chest vibrates down to their mid-thigh. Alternatively, initial amplitude may be set to observe adequate “chest wall vibration”. Initial frequency is usually set at 5 Hz. Patients who demonstrate rapidly rising PaCO2 on HFOV should have aggressive increases in amplitude (10 to 20 cmH2O) and reduced Hz to the lowest value achievable (3 Hz on the SensorMedics 3100B). An adjunct to improving PaCO2 elimination is to briefly disconnect the patient from HFOV and vigorously manually ventilate with a PEEP-valve equipped bag. Aggressive action is required for a rapidly rising PaCO2 during initiation of HFOV because improvements in PaCO2 do not occur as quickly as when changes are made to conventional ventilators. An ABG should be drawn 15 to 20 minutes after starting HFOV to determine the trend of the PaCO2. Subsequent ABG’s are generally obtained at 30 to 60 minute intervals until stabilization occurs. V. Guidelines for Initial HFOV Settings: 1. Prior to initiating HFOV, perform a recruitment maneuver on the oscillator by increasing Paw to 40 cmH2O for 30-40 seconds. NOTE: the oscillator should be OFF during the maneuver. Immediately abort the maneuver if hemodynamic compromise occurs. 2. Set initial Paw at 5 cmH2O above conventional ventilator Pmaw. 3. Set power to achieve initial amplitude at chest oscillation to mid-thigh. 4. Set Hz at 5. Set IT to 33% (may increase to 50% if difficulty with oxygenation; this may further raise carinal pressure an additional 2 – 4 cmH2O). 5. If oxygenation worsens, increase Pmaw in 2 – 3 cmH2O increments q 30 minutes until maximum setting (approximately 45 – 55 cmH2O).
  • 3. STANFORD HOSPITAL & CLINICS RESPIRATORY CARE SERVICES 3 6. If PaCO2 worsens (but pH > 7.2), increase amplitude in 10 cmH2O increments q 30 minutes up to the maximum setting. After maximum amplitude is achieved, if necessary, decrease Hz to the minimum setting of 3 Hz. 7. If severe hypercapnea occurs, with pH < 7.2, bag patient, set maximum amplitude, Hz at 3, and try a small cuff leak (5 cmH2O and then compensate bias flow); rule out endotracheal tube obstruction. 8. If oxygenation improves, gradually wean FiO2 to 0.40, then slowly reduce Pmaw 2-3 cmH2O q 4 – 6 hours until 22 – 24 cmH2O range. 9. When the above goal is met, switch to PCV (initial settings: peak pressure titrated to achieve delivered VT 6 ml/kg IBW, Pplat < 30 - 35 cmH2O), I:E 1:1, PEEP 12 cmH2O, rate 20 – 25, Paw should be 20 cmH2O (+/- 2 cmH2O). VI. Weaning from HFOV: The principle goal of using HFOV in treating patients with ARDS is to achieve a nontoxic FiO2 (<0.60) while minimizing ventilator induced lung injury. When patients respond with improved oxygenation, the first weaning maneuver therefore is to reduce the FiO2 before any reduction is considered in Pmaw. A reduction of FiO2 to 0.40 with a target SpO2 > 90% before attempting reductions in Pmaw is recommended. If the patient can maintain a SpO2 > 90% on a FiO2 0.40, a gradual reduction of Pmaw (e.g. decrease 1– 2 cmH2O q 30 minutes as tolerated) should be attempted. If the SpO2 decreases during Pmaw reduction, resume the previous Pmaw that was able to maintain a SpO2 > 90% on FiO2 0.40. Perform an ABG and CXR for every total Pmaw reduction of 5 cmH2O. Once a Pmaw of 20 – 24 cmH2O has been achieved while maintaining a FiO2 of 40%, the patient can be switched back to a trial of conventional ventilation. (See V. (9)Guidelines for Initial HFOV Settings) Obtain an arterial blood gas 15 - 20 minutes after transfer to conventional ventilation to guide further ventilator adjustments. VII. Potential Complications: 1. HYPOTENSION Occasionally, patients will develop hypotension shortly following transfer to HFOV or as Pmaw is raised. This usually implies relative hypovolemia and responds to intravenous fluid boluses and/or vasopressors as indicated. 2. PNEUMOTHORAX Tension pneumothorax occurring during HFOV may not cause changes to the displayed Pmaw or amplitude as the patient develops progressive hypotension and desaturation. A high index of suspicion is necessary for pneumothorax and confirmation (if time permits) requires an immediate CXR. It may be difficult by auscultation alone to detect the side of the pneumothorax during HFOV secondary to background noise of the ventilator and the diffuse transmission of airway sounds. The visual loss of chest oscillation that usually occurs on the affected side may provide an important physical sign. 3. ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE OBSTRUCTION Subtotal occlusion of the endotracheal tube may result in refractory hypercapnea. An abrupt rise in PaCO2 and loss of visual chest oscillation in an otherwise stable patient may be secondary to an obstructed or narrowed endotracheal tube. A suction catheter should be passed immediately to ensure patency of the endotracheal tube.
