Spontaneous Breathing vs. Mechanical Ventilation in Lung Simulators

spontaneous breathing vs mechanical ventilation

The human lungs work in miraculous ways. Whether your lungs function naturally, or you have a condition that requires breathing assistance, it’s important to make sure you have a healthy breathing process. 

There are many ways the lungs can take in oxygen. Two of these ways include spontaneous breathing, and mechanical ventilation.

Below, we discuss how these breathing methods work, what the differences are, and how lung simulators can mimic both. 

What Is Spontaneous Breathing?

Spontaneous breathing is a term used to describe psychological breathing. 

Controlled by the involuntary nervous system, spontaneous breathing is a reflex. Healthy lungs will automatically breathe air in at all times, while we’re awake and while we’re asleep. 

There are many ways that patients can keep their lungs in good shape to promote healthy breathing. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Regular exercise
  • Balanced diet
  • Watching your weight
  • Practice breathing exercises
  • Keep the air inside your home clean

What Is Mechanical Ventilation?

Mechanical ventilation is a form of life support that helps you breathe when you can’t breathe on your own. It doesn’t directly treat illnesses, but it can stabilize you while other treatments and medications help your body recover. 

Mechanical ventilation keeps your airways open, delivers oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. This treatment method dates back to the late 18th century. However, within the last century, it has become widely introduced into routine clinical practice. 

Thus, it’s become much more sophisticated, expanding its application from the ICU to emergency medicine and even in long-term care.

Examples Of When Mechanical Ventilation Is Needed

There are several reasons why mechanical ventilation might be needed, including to:

  • Deliver high concentrations of oxygen into the lungs
  • Help get rid of carbon dioxide
  • Decrease the amount of energy a patient uses on breathing so their body can concentrate on fighting infection or recovering
  • Breathe for a person who has injury to the nervous system or who has very weak muscles
  • Breathe for a patient who is unconscious because of a severe infection, build up of toxins, or drug overdose

How Our Lung Simulators Are Making A Difference

Michigan Instruments has played a role in the development and research for mechanical ventilation with our lung simulators.  As respiratory care continues to grow and develop, Michigan Instruments continues to contribute with versatile, easy-to-set-up lung simulators.

All of our lung simulators, though versatile in capabilities, aid in the design, engineering, testing, and manufacturing of ventilation devices. 

By offering a wide range of calibrated lung compliance and airway resistance settings, our lung simulators also simulate dynamic spontaneous breathing and breathing efforts. This flexibility allows our devices to replicate hundreds of healthy and diseased lung conditions, while providing highly accurate measurements and data.

How Our Infant Lung Simulators Contribute to RSV Research

rsv research

Since the beginning of flu season in October, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been on the rise all around the country. RSV typically hospitalizes about 60,000 children each year in the U.S, with the infection season peaking in the winter.

However, according to the CDC, doctors have found more cases in each week this past October than any week in the last two years.

This has driven our dedication to RSV research and to training medical students and practitioners for RSV cases and care. All this is possible with our infant lung simulators.

Understanding the Impact of RSV in Children

RSV is a respiratory virus that causes mild, cold-like symptoms in most people, with an average 7 day recovery time. However, infants are more likely to face far more significant side effects and longer recovery times. 

In children younger than 12 months, RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Furthermore, one to two out of every 100 children younger than 6 months of age with RSV infection may need to be hospitalized.

Scientists are developing several vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and antiviral therapies to help protect infants and young children, pregnant people (to protect their unborn babies), and older adults from severe infection.

However, many hospitals, facing staffing shortages, remain overwhelmed this RSV season. Medical schools and hospital leaders should prepare practitioners to treat RSV cases now more than ever. 

Simulating RSV On Our Infant Lung Simulator

Unlike other similar models on the market today, our Infant Lung Simulator provides vast flexibility and several applications for simulating a wide range of patient populations. 

This device realistically simulates infant lung capacity, clinically trains others on ventilator use and respiratory care in a hands-on manner, and simulates unexpected or complex scenarios. 

Additionally, biomedical engineers, manufacturers, and service companies can use these simulators to test the performance of mechanical ventilators and similar respiratory care devices; all in an effort to ensure that their functions are adequate for illnesses like RSV.

How Do Our Simulators Help RSV Patients?

Professionals use our lung simulators to develop new therapy strategies while working against a realistic “load” (simulated lung mechanics). Further, our devices allow trainers to simulate a wide variety of healthy and diseased lung conditions to provide training for proper care of those with viruses or other conditions. Simply put; our devices are extremely versatile.

We take pride in our ability to train and educate current and future medical professionals, with a goal of contributing to research and new developments for care of those with respiratory illness. 

Proactively Train Your Hospital Staff for a Better 2023

We know that good RSV-trained providers are invaluable — and not exactly interchangeable. With RSV still on the rise (and predicted to occur every year), proactive RSV research, training and development is more important than ever.

Top 5+ FAQs About Lung Simulators

, ,

michigan lung simulator

For over 45 years, our Michigan Lung Simulator has offered residual lung volumes and a dynamic response to therapy that realistically represents all the functions of the human pulmonary system. Our devices are more advanced now than ever, thanks to our ever-changing technology and dedication to research.

We receive many questions about our lung simulators and their operations. Below are the questions we see most often

1. What Is The Difference Between A “Test Lung” And A “Michigan Lung Simulator”?

We’ve used the terms “test lung,” “training test lung,” and “Michigan lung simulator” to describe our TTL® and PneuView® products. In some ways, these terms are interchangeable. However, in a broader sense, the term “test lung” may include devices that are very simplistic rubber or latex bags. 

On the other hand, “lung simulators” describe a more complex system that accurately mimics the dynamic mechanical characteristics of the human pulmonary system.

2. What Is The Fundamental Purpose Of A Michigan Lung Simulator?

There are several situations and settings where the use of a lung simulator is crucial. A solid lung simulator represents the functions of the human pulmonary system, as well as a range of healthy and diseased lung conditions. 

A lung simulator should allow you to create, monitor and control those forces.  For the following applications and more, a high-quality lung simulator is needed:

  • Designing mechanical ventilators and other respiratory apparatus
  • Developing new modes of ventilation support
  • Training respiratory care and other medical professionals
  • Performing periodic testing and maintenance on ventilation and support devices
  • Troubleshooting equipment problems using a realistic “load”

3. How Do The TTL® And PneuView® Systems Model The Dynamic Compliance And Resistance Characteristic Of The Human Lungs?

Our TTL® and PneuView® systems use a bellows and spring to simulate the compliance characteristics of the lung. The spring can be positioned at several different points along the Top Plate of the simulator to create a lung compliance that ranges from very compliant to normal to very non-compliant (or stiff). 

The resistance characteristics of the lung are set using fixed-orifice parabolic resistors that may be positioned to add resistance to the upper and/or lower airway assembly.  A range of resistors allow for simulation of both healthy and diseased lung conditions.

4. What Is Factory Calibration?

Factory calibration involves tuning all aspects of sensor, electronic, mechanical and software to ensure maximum accuracy of the measurements and simulated parameters provided by TTL® & PneuView® systems. 

Calibration procedures include the setting of the compliance and resistance characteristics of the lungs, as well as setting offset and gain characteristics for each of the pressure transducer channels.

5. How Do I Read The Tidal Volume On The Lung Simulators?

Each simulated lung in the TTL® or PneuView® System has a physical volume scale behind the Top Plate. There is also a plastic pointer and label on the Top Plate that can be used to indicate lung volume. 

To ensure the most accurate indication of lung volume, the pointer on the top plate must correspond to the compliance setting on the lung. When set appropriately, the arrow will point to the gas volume in the lung. 

Note: When using PEEP or CPAP, the starting volume (baseline volume) is greater than zero. The tidal volume would be the total indicated volume minus the baseline volume.

The volume indicator lines on the label are curved, more so as the compliance setting decreases. This is due to the sideways distention of the bellows that occurs during filling of the lung under pressure.

6. Are Michigan Lung Simulators Suitable For Tests With Aerosols Or Just Dry Air Only?

Water vapor will not damage the simulator.  However, we generally don’t recommend introducing aerosolized substances into the lung chambers of our TTL® and PneuView® simulators for the following reasons:

  • Substances other than water can be corrosive to the polyurethane bellows, and/or may accumulate on the ribs of the bellows causing them to stick, become brittle, or not function properly.
  • There is no simple way to “drain” the bellows of any accumulated fluid. If using sterile/demineralized water, you may blow dry gas through the unit until it is fully dried.

Many of our customers have used the TTL® or PneuView® specifically to evaluate aerosol delivery with various devices and/or breathing patterns. In such cases, the aerosolized substance is typically collected using a hydrostatic filter placed in the simulated airway, prior to entering the lung bellows.

Top 5+ FAQs About The SBL™

, ,

sbl michigan instruments

After multiple requests from our customers, Michigan Instruments added it’s newest product–the Spontaneous Breathing Lung.  Our Spontaneous Breathing Lung Simulator (SBL™) offers a new and improved way to create spontaneous breathing. The SBL™ is useful for designing, testing, and training on non-invasive and supportive modes of ventilation and oxygenation.

Since its release, we’ve received many inquiries from medical professionals, researchers, and educators about this device. Keep reading to learn the most common questions surrounding the SBL™, and our answers to them.

1. Which Models of TTL and PneuView Can Be Driven By The SBL™ Spontaneous Breathing Lung Module?

The SBL™ Module is designed to operate on any Michigan Instruments lung simulator. Therefore, it can be used on the Single Adult, Dual Adult, and Adult-Infant models of TTL and PneuView products.

2. Can I Use The SBL™ In Conjunction With The PneuView Software?

There is nothing that prevents the use of the PneuView software (PV3) in conjunction with the SBL™. However, it’s important to remember that there are limitations to the use of the PV3 software in the SBL™. 

The PV3 software has more difficulty interpreting the negative pressures developed in a spontaneous breathing simulation. Therefore, certain values displayed by the PV3 software will be inaccurate when the PV3 software is used in conjunction with the SBL™.

3. Why Does The SBL™ Stutter During Inspiration Or Completely Stop Running Sometimes?

When the SBL™ stutters during use, or even if it stops operating, it’s usually due to protections programmed into the software to limit excess negative intra-lung pressure. Therefore, if the lifting load is too high or the negative pressure seen during inspiration is excessive, the motor operation will stutter or cease altogether and a message will be displayed for the user. 

This happens intentionally in order to prevent damage to the device. In these cases, settings should be adjusted to a safe operating range (i.e., reduce airway resistance, increase compliance, increase inspiratory time and/or reduce tidal volume).

4. Sometimes, I’m Not Able To Get The Rate And Volume Combination That I Set In The SBL™ Software. Is That A Problem?

Simply put, there are just certain combinations of breathing patterns and lung mechanics that are beyond the limits of the SBL™—specifically, the set lung compliance limits the available tidal volume options in the software.

5. Can I Retrofit the SBL™ To My Michigan Instruments TTL In The Field?

The retrofit process requires several modifications to the TTL or PneuView device. Furthermore, adding the SBL™ to an existing Lung Simulator must be done at the Michigan Instruments factory.

6. Can The SBL™ Module Be Added To Any TTL Or PneuView System That I Own?

No. The SBL™ is designed to be installed on one of the newer Michigan Instruments Lung Simulator models (TTL or PneuView – version 3.x). The SBL™ Module will not fit onto older models of TTL and PneuView. 

However, the SBL can be incorporated into your new Michigan Instruments Lung Simulator, or it can be retrofitted to Gen3 units.

How COVID-19 Has Influenced the Rise of Respiratory Therapy

respiratory therapy after covid

Like many other healthcare professionals, respiratory therapists (RTs) have had their work cut out for them ever since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020. Their role in the medical field, which was always considered demanding, is now even more complex and ever-changing. 

However, these challenges have pushed them to work even harder to research and practice the best care for those with respiratory complications due to COVID-19. 

Respiratory Therapists’ Role During the COVID-19 Pandemic

After over 2 years of extensive research, it has been proven that COVID-19 can have a major impact on the respiratory system. More severe cases of COVID-19 and its variants can cause long lasting complications to a person’s respiratory system.

Adults aged 65+ and those with other underlying health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), may have serious symptoms; with some even having long-term effects.

As the number of patients with COVID-19 has grown, so has the demand for respiratory therapists. Respiratory therapists have provided treatment for those with COVID-19-related respiratory complications in many ways. 

One way is through pulmonary rehabilitation, which helps patients improve lung function, reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Respiratory therapists help aid these programs through education, exercise, and support. 

How Our Spontaneous Breathing Lung Aids in Respiratory Education

We understand that COVID-19 has affected the respiratory systems of many patients throughout the last few years, and will continue to do so as the virus persists. This is why we are proud to have our Lung Simulators used to contribute to respiratory studies.. 

We recently added the Spontaneous Breathing Lung (SBL™) to our product line. The SBL™ offers a new and improved way to create spontaneous breathing. It’s available as an independent device, or as an upgrade to the current generation TTL or PneuView Simulator.

These simulations are useful for designing, testing, and providing training on non-invasive and supportive modes of ventilation and oxygenation. Additionally, it allows control of breath rate, tidal volume, inspiratory time, and inspiratory flow pattern. 

All these features and more make this device the ideal tool for teaching and learning about COVID-19’s respiratory impact.

Going to AARC Congress 2022? We’ll See You There!

To show our dedication, we will be attending AARC Congress this November. We’re so excited to showcase the SBL™, while connecting with respiratory therapy professionals from across the country!
