Pulmonary Trauma and Patient Accommodation with Mechanical Ventilation - Rise Time Settings
Abstract
The inspiratory rise time in mechanical ventilation refers to the rate at which airway pressure reaches the set target during inspiration. When appropriately adjusted, it enhances patient-ventilator synchrony and improves comfort by increasing the tolerance of ventilator support. However, an excessively rapid rise time may result in elevated airway pressures and abrupt gas delivery, potentially contributing to lung injury or increased patient effort. An inverse correlation exists between rise time and the mechanical work of breathing, such that a shorter rise time is associated with a disproportionately increased in respiratory workload. As the intensity of respiratory effort and duration of mechanical ventilation increase, so does the risk of ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI). It is therefore imperative that ventilator manufacturers incorporate adjustable rise time parameters and corresponding time intervals into their devices to allow precise, individualized ventilator settings that minimize the risk of iatrogenic lung injury.
