Background Tidal hyperinflation can still occur with mechanical ventilation using low tidal volume (LVT) (6 mL/kg predicted body weight (PBW)) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), despite a well-demonstrated reduction in mortality. Methods Retrospective chart review from August 2012 to October 2014. Inclusion: Age >18years, PaO2/FiO2<200 with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, absent heart failure, and ultra-protective mechanical ventilation (UPMV) defined as tidal volume (VT) <6 mL/kg PBW. Exclusion: UPMV use for <24 h. Demographics, admission Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scores, arterial blood gas, serum bicarbonate, ventilator parameters for pre-, during, and post-UPMV periods including modes, VT, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), plateau pressure (Pplat), driving pressure, etc. were gathered. We compared lab and ventilator data for pre-, during, and post-UPMV periods. Results Fifteen patients (male:female = 7:8, age 42.13 ± 11.29 years) satisfied criteria, APACHEII 20.6 ± 7.1, mean days in intensive care unit and hospitalization were 18.5 ± 8.85 and 20.81 ± 9.78 days, 9 (60%) received paralysis and 7 (46.67%) required inotropes. Eleven patients had echocardiogram, 7 (63.64%) demonstrated right ventricular volume or pressure overload. Eleven patients (73.33%) survived. During-UPMV, VT ranged 2–5 mL/kg PBW(3.99 ± 0.73), the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) was higher than pre-UPMV values (84.81 ± 18.95 cmH2O vs. 69.16 ± 33.09 cmH2O), but pH was comparable and none received extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2-R). The positive end-expiratory pressure (14.18 ± 7.56 vs. 12.31 ± 6.84 cmH2O), PIP (38.21 ± 12.89 vs. 32.59 ± 9.88), and mean airway pressures (19.98 ± 7.61 vs. 17.48 ± 6.7 cm H2O) were higher during UPMV, but Pplat and PaO2/FiO2 were comparable during- and pre-UPMV. Driving pressure was observed to be higher in those who died than who survived (24.18 ± 12.36 vs. 13.42 ± 3.25). Conclusion UPMV alone may be a safe alternative option for ARDS patients in centers without ECCO2-R.

AbstractMechanical ventilation is the cornerstone of the Intensive Care Unit. However, it has been associated with many negative consequences. Recently, ventilator-induced brain injury has been reported in rodents under injurious ventilation settings. Our group wanted to explore the extent of brain injury after 50 h of mechanical ventilation, sedation and physical immobility, quantifying hippocampal apoptosis and inflammation, in a normal-lung porcine study. After 50 h of lung-protective mechanical ventilation, sedation and immobility, greater levels of hippocampal apoptosis and neuroinflammation were clearly observed in the mechanically ventilated group, in comparison to a never-ventilated group. Markers in the serum for astrocyte damage and neuronal damage were also higher in the mechanically ventilated group. Therefore, our study demonstrated that considerable hippocampal insult can be observed after 50 h of lung-protective mechanical ventilation, sedation and physical immobility.

The objective: to compare efficacy and safety of Intellivent-ASV® with conventional ventilation modes during weaning in the patients after cardiac surgery.Subjects and methods. In this randomized controlled trial, 40 adult patients were ventilated with conventional ventilation modes and 40 with Intellivent-ASV after uncomplicated cardiac surgery. Eight physicians were involved in the study.Care of both groups was standardized, except for the modes of postoperative ventilation.We compared:- The physician’s workload, through accounting number of manual ventilator settings and time they spent near the ventilator in every group,- Duration of tracheal intubation in ICU,- Evaluation of ventilation safety by considering driving pressure, mechanical power, positive end expiratory pressure, and tidal volume level,- The frequency of adverse events, postoperative complications, and lethality.Results. There were significant differences in the duration of respiratory support in ICU: 226 ± 31 min (Intellivent Group) vs 271 ± 78 min (Control Group) (p = 0.0013).In Intellivent Group, the number of manual ventilator settings and time spent by physicians near the ventilator before tracheal extubation were significantly lower: 0 vs 4 (2–6), and 35 (25–53) sec vs 164 ± 69 sec respectively (p < 0.001 in both cases).Intellivent-ASV provided significantly more protective ventilation through reduction in the driving pressure, tidal volume, FiO2 and PEEP levels but no difference was noted between paO2/FiO2 ratio. ∆P and Vt were significantly lower in Intellivent Group – ∆P on mechanical ventilation was 6 (5–7) cm H2O vs 7.25 (6.5–9.5) cm H2O (p < 0.001); Vt on mechanical ventilation was 6 (5.2–7) vs 7 (6–9.5) ml/kg/PBW (p = 0.000003). PEEP and FiO2 levels were also significantly lower in Intellivent Group, PEEP on mechanical ventilation was 5 (5–7.5) cm H2O vs 7 (5–11.5) cm H2O and FiO2 level was 26 (22–30) % vs 34 (30–40) %.There were no significant differences between the groups in frequency of adverse events and duration of ICU and hospital stay.Conclusion. Application of Intellivent-ASV mode after uncomplicated cardiac surgery provides more protective mechanical ventilation and reduces the physician’s workload without compromising the quality of respiratory support and safety of patients.
