Objective: This study aimed to compare gas exchange with heliox and oxygen-enriched air during piston-type high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). We hypothesized that helium gas would improve both carbon dioxide elimination and arterial oxygenation during piston-type HFOV.
Method: Five rabbits were prepared and ventilated by piston-type HFOV with carrier 50% helium/oxygen (heliox50) or 50% oxygen/nitrogen (nitrogen50) gas mixture in a crossover study. Changing the gas mixture from nitrogen50 to heliox50 and back was performed five times per animal with constant ventilation parameters. Arterial blood gas, vital function and respiratory test indices were recorded.
Results: Compared with nitrogen50, heliox50 did not change PaCO2 when stroke volume remained constant, but significantly reduced PaCO2 after alignment of amplitude pressure. No significant changes in PaO2 were seen despite significant decreases in mean airway pressure with heliox50 compared with nitrogen50.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that heliox enhances CO2 elimination and maintains oxygenation at the same amplitude but with lower airway pressure compared to air/O2 mix gas during piston-type HFOV.

Background: The performance of high-frequency oscillatory ventilators (HFOV) differs by the waveform generation mode and circuit characteristics. Few studies have described the performance of piston-type HFOV. The present study aimed to compare the amplitude required to reach the target high-frequency tidal volume ([Formula: see text]); determine the relationship between the settings and actual pressure in amplitude or mean airway pressure ([Formula: see text]); and describe the interaction among compliance, frequency, and endotracheal tube (ETT) inner diameter in 4 HFOV models, including Humming X, Vue (a piston type ventilator commonly used in Japan), VN500 (a diaphragm type), and SLE5000 (a reverse jet type).

We hypothesized that a helium-oxygen mixture delivered into the trachea using the TGI technique (0.3 L/min) would enhance gas exchange during HFOV.

We investigated whether the combination of surfactant replacement therapy and early application of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) was more effective in patients with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) than late application of HFOV and conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). To determine this, we retrospectively reviewed the cases of 126 neonates with RDS who received surfactant replacement therapy within 4 hr after birth. Patients were grouped into those who received HFOV immediately after birth (HFOV group), those who initially were ventilated by CMV and subsequently received HFOV (CMV/HFOV group), and those who did not receive HFOV (CMV group).

To determine whether low mean airway pressure (MAP) and/or stroke volume (SV) settings cause lung injury during piston-type high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), we investigated the influence of various combinations of MAP and SV on the amplitude of the pressure swing at four different sites in the normal lung of rabbits. We also examined the effects of these factors on progression of lung injury in lavaged surfactant-deficient lungs. We measured changes in the mean pressure (MP) and swing pressure (SP) during HFOV at MAPs ranging between 5-30 cm H2O in combination with SVs ranging from 5-30 mL in 13 rabbits at four different sites: 1) the proximal airway, 2) the distal end of the endotracheal tube, 3) the bronchi, and 4) the pleural space.
