    Study ObjectiveWe hypothesized that the continuous gas flow administration delivered through an insufflation catheter positioned above the carina during airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) would facilitate carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination, resulting in normocarbia with a substantially reduced peak airway pressure (Paw). To test this hypothesis, we compared intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV), tracheal gas insufflation (TGI), APRV, and combined TGI and APRV (TGI + APRV).DesignAnimal study with random application of four ventilatory modes in a canine restrictive-thorax model with and without pulmonary edema.SettingResearch laboratory at Kumamoto (Japan) University School of Medicine.SubjectsSix mongrel dogs.InterventionsApplication of four ventilatory modes (IPPV, TGI, APRV, and TGI + APRV).Measurements And ResultsTGI + APRV facilitated CO2 elimination. The peak Paw was significantly lower during TGI + APRV than during IPPV (nonpulmonary edema model; 15 +/- 4 vs 28 +/- 9 cm H2O; p < 0.05; pulmonary edema model: 20 +/- 4 vs 34 +/- 10 cm H2O; p < 0.05). Normocarbia was observed in both models. Neither TGI nor APRV alone maintained normocarbia.ConclusionThe combined use of TGI and APRV is a more effective method of maintaining normocarbia with reduced peak Paw than either IPPV or APRV alone.
