}Variable or noisy ventilation, which includes random breath-to-breath variations in tidal volume (Vt) and frequency, has been shown to consistently improve blood oxygenation during mechanical ventilation in various models of acute lung injury. To further understand the effects of variable ventilation on lung physiology and biology, we mechanically ventilated 11 normal guinea pigs for 3 h using constant-Vt ventilation (n = 6) or variable ventilation (n = 5). After 3 h of ventilation, each animal…

The application of VV in a large animal model of lung injury results in improved gas exchange and superior lung mechanics in comparison with CV that can be explained at least partially by the long-lasting effects of the recruitments occurring during VV.
Noisy Ventilation Improves Lung Function

Not only did noisy ventilation induce endogenous surfactant release, but also the standard deviation of the noise appears to be directly related to the magnitude of improvements seen with this ventilation modality in a manner similar to stochastic resonance.

It is concluded that perturbation of the surfactant system makes lungs vulnerable to injury by RECOREX, and the combination of DOSS and NEEP might lead to leakage of plasma proteins into alveoli, causing inactivation of surfactants and increased shear forces with resulting lung damage.

The results suggest that using natural biologically variable noise has enhanced the performance of a mechanical ventilator in control mode, and provide strong support for the theoretical model of noisy end-inspiratory pressure better recruiting atelectatic lung.
