Ventilator Induced Lung Injury

Abstract Background: Ventilator-induced lung injury has been attributed to the interaction of several factors: tidal volume (VT), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), transpulmonary driving pressure (difference between transpulmonary pressure at end-inspiration and end-expiration, ΔP,L), and respiratory system plateau pressure (Pplat,rs). Methods: Forty-eight Wistar rats received Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide intratracheally. After 24 h, animals were randomized into combinations of VT and PEEP, yielding three different ΔP,L levels: ΔP,LLOW (VT = 6 ml/kg, PEEP = 3 cm H2O); ΔP,LMEAN (VT = 13 ml/kg, PEEP = 3 cm H2O or VT = 6 ml/kg, PEEP = 9.5 cm H2O); and ΔP,LHIGH (VT = 22 ml/kg, PEEP = 3 cm H2O or VT = 6 ml/kg, PEEP = 11 cm H2O). In other groups, at low VT, PEEP was adjusted to obtain a Pplat,rs similar to that achieved with ΔP,LMEAN and ΔP,LHIGH at high VT. Results: At ΔP,LLOW, expressions of interleukin (IL)-6, receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), and amphiregulin were reduced, despite morphometric evidence of alveolar collapse. At ΔP,LHIGH (VT = 6 ml/kg and PEEP = 11 cm H2O), lungs were fully open and IL-6 and RAGE were reduced compared with ΔP,LMEAN (27.4 ± 12.9 vs. 41.6 ± 14.1 and 0.6 ± 0.2 vs. 1.4 ± 0.3, respectively), despite increased hyperinflation and amphiregulin expression. At ΔP,LMEAN (VT = 6 ml/kg and PEEP = 9.5 cm H2O), when PEEP was not high enough to keep lungs open, IL-6, RAGE, and amphiregulin expression increased compared with ΔP,LLOW (41.6 ± 14.1 vs. 9.0 ± 9.8, 1.4 ± 0.3 vs. 0.6 ± 0.2, and 6.7 ± 0.8 vs. 2.2 ± 1.0, respectively). At Pplat,rs similar to that achieved with ΔP,LMEAN and ΔP,LHIGH, higher VT and lower PEEP reduced IL-6 and RAGE expression. Conclusion: In the acute respiratory distress syndrome model used in this experiment, two strategies minimized ventilator-induced lung injury: (1) low VT and PEEP, yielding low ΔP,L and Pplat,rs; and (2) low VT associated with a PEEP level sufficient to keep the lungs open.

Compliance Strategy

Background: Different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) strategies are available for subjects with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. We aimed to evaluate three conventional PEEP strategies on their effects on respiratory mechanics, gas exchanges, and hemodynamics.Methods: This is a prospective, physiologic, multicenter study conducted in China. We recruited 20 intubated subjects with ARDS and confirmed COVID-19. We first set PEEP by the ARDSnet low PEEP–fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) table. After a recruitment maneuver, PEEP was set at 15, 10, and 5 cm H2O for 10 min, respectively. Among these three PEEP levels, best-compliance PEEP was the one providing the highest respiratory system compliance; best-oxygenation PEEP was the one providing the highest PaO2 (partial pressure of arterial oxygen)/FIO2.Results: At each PEEP level, we assessed respiratory mechanics, arterial blood gas, and hemodynamics. Among three PEEP levels, plateau pressure, driving pressure, mechanical power, and blood pressure improved with lower PEEP. The ARDSnet low PEEP–FIO2 table and the best-oxygenation strategies provided higher PEEP than the best-compliance strategy (11 ± 6 cm H2O vs. 11 ± 3 cm H2O vs. 6 ± 2 cm H2O, p = 0.001), leading to higher plateau pressure, driving pressure, and mechanical power. The three PEEP strategies were not significantly different in gas exchange. The subgroup analysis showed that three PEEP strategies generated different effects in subjects with moderate or severe ARDS (n = 12) but not in subjects with mild ARDS (n = 8).Conclusions: In our cohort with COVID-19–induced ARDS, the ARDSnet low PEEP/FIO2 table and the best-oxygenation strategies led to higher PEEP and potentially higher risk of ventilator-induced lung injury than the best-compliance strategy.Clinical Trial Registration:www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT04359251.

Abstract Background: Guidelines suggest a plateau pressure (Pplat) of 30 cm H2O or less for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, but ventilation may still be injurious despite adhering to this guideline. The shape of the curve plotting airway pressure versus time (StressIndex) may identify injurious ventilation. The authors assessed accuracy of Pplat and StressIndex to identify morphological indexes of injurious ventilation. Methods: Indexes of lung aeration (computerized tomography) associated with injurious ventilation were used as a “reference standard.” Threshold values of Pplat and StressIndex were determined assessing the receiver-operating characteristics (“training set,” N = 30). Accuracy of these values was assessed in a second group of patients (“validation set,” N = 20). Pplat and StressIndex were partitioned between respiratory system (Pplat,Rs and StressIndex,rs) and lung (Pplat,l and StressIndex,l; esophageal pressure; “physiological set,” N = 50). Results: Sensitivity and specificity of Pplat of greater than 30 cm H2O were 0.06 (95% CI, 0.002–0.30) and 1.0 (95% CI, 0.87–1.00). Pplat of greater than 25 cm H2O and a StressIndex of greater than 1.05 best identified morphological markers of injurious ventilation. Sensitivity and specificity of these values were 0.75 (95% CI, 0.35–0.97) and 0.75 (95% CI, 0.43–0.95) for Pplat greater than 25 cm H2O versus 0.88 (95% CI, 0.47–1.00) and 0.50 (95% CI, 0.21–0.79) for StressIndex greater than 1.05. Pplat,Rs did not correlate with Pplat,l (R2 = 0.0099); StressIndex,rs and StressIndex,l were correlated (R2 = 0.762). Conclusions: The best threshold values for discriminating morphological indexes associated with injurious ventilation were Pplat,Rs greater than 25 cm H2O and StressIndex,rs greater than 1.05. Although a substantial discrepancy between Pplat,Rs and Pplat,l occurs, StressIndex,rs reflects StressIndex,l.

(1) Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following cardiac arrest is common and associated with in-hospital mortality. We aim to investigate whether lung compliance during targeted temperature management is associated with neurological outcome in patients with ARDS after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). (2) Methods: This observational study is conducted in the emergency intensive care unit from January 2011 to April 2019 using data from a prospective patient registry. Adult patients (age ≥18 years) who survived non-traumatic OHCA and subsequently developed ARDS based on the Berlin definition are included. Mechanical ventilator parameters such as plateau pressure, tidal volume, minute ventilation, positive end expiratory pressure, and compliance are recorded for 7 days or until death, and categorized as maximum, median, and minimum. The primary outcome is a favorable neurological outcome defined as a Cerebral Performance Category score of 1 or 2 at hospital discharge. (3) Results: Regarding 246 OHCA survivors, 119 (48.4%) patients developed ARDS. A favorable neurologic outcome was observed in 23 (19.3%). Patients with a favorable outcome have a significantly higher lung compliance (38.6 mL/cm H2O versus 27.5 mL/cm H2O), lower inspiratory pressure (12.0 cm H2O versus 16.0 cm H2O), and lower plateau pressure (17.0 cm H2O versus 21.0 cm H2O) than those with a poor neurologic outcome (all p < 0.01). Concerning time-dependent cox regression models, all maximum (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02–1.09), minimum (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03–1.13), and median (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02–1.09) compliances are independently associated with a good neurologic outcome. Maximum compliance, >32.5 mL/cm H2O at day 1, has the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.745) with a positive predictive value of 90.4%. (4) Conclusions: Lung compliance may be an early predictor of intact neurologic survival in patients with ARDS following cardiac arrest.
