  • Rationale and Study Design for an Individualized Perioperative Open Lung Ventilatory Strategy in Patients on One-Lung Ventilation (iPROVE-OLV)
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia. - : W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC. - 1053-0770 .- 1532-8422. ; 33:9, s. 2492-2502

    • Objective: The aim of this clinical trial is to examine whether it is possible to reduce postoperative complications using an individualized perioperative ventilatory strategy versus using a standard lung-protective ventilation strategy in patients scheduled for thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation. Design: International, multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting: A network of university hospitals. Participants: The study comprises 1,380 patients scheduled for thoracic surgery. Interventions: The individualized group will receive intraoperative recruitment maneuvers followed by individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (open lung approach) during the intraoperative period plus postoperative ventilatory support with high-flow nasal cannula, whereas the control group will be managed with conventional lung-protective ventilation. Measurements and Main Results: Individual and total number of postoperative complications, including atelectasis, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, pneumonia, acute lung injury; unplanned readmission and reintubation; length of stay and death in the critical care unit and in the hospital will be analyzed for both groups. The authors hypothesize that the intraoperative application of an open lung approach followed by an individual indication of high-flow nasal cannula in the postoperative period will reduce pulmonary complications and length of hospital stay in high-risk surgical patients.

  • Effects of oxygen on post-surgical infections during an individualised perioperative open-lung ventilatory strategy : a randomised controlled trial
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Anaesthesia. - : ELSEVIER SCI LTD. - 0007-0912 .- 1471-6771. ; 124:1, s. 110-120
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: We aimed to examine whether using a high fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) in the context of an individualised intra- and postoperative open-lung ventilation approach could decrease surgical site infection (SSI) in patients scheduled for abdominal surgery. Methods: We performed a multicentre, randomised controlled clinical trial in a network of 21 university hospitals from June 6, 2017 to July 19, 2018. Patients undergoing abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to receive a high (0.80) or conventional (0.3) FIO2 during the intraoperative period and during the first 3 postoperative hours. All patients were mechanically ventilated with an open-lung strategy, which included recruitment manoeuvres and individualised positive end-expiratory pressure for the best respiratory-system compliance, and individualised continuous postoperative airway pressure for adequate peripheral oxyhaemoglobin saturation. The primary outcome was the prevalence of SSI within the first 7 postoperative days. The secondary outcomes were composites of systemic complications, length of intensive care and hospital stay, and 6-month mortality. Results: We enrolled 740 subjects: 371 in the high FIO2 group and 369 in the low FIO2 group. Data from 717 subjects were available for final analysis. The rate of SSI during the first postoperative week did not differ between high (8.9%) and low (9.4%) FIO2 groups (relative risk [RR]: 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59-1.50; P=0.90]). Secondary outcomes, such as atelectasis (7.7% vs 9.8%; RR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.48-1.25; P=0.38) and myocardial ischaemia (0.6% [n=2] vs 0% [n=0]; P=0.47) did not differ between groups. Conclusions: An oxygenation strategy using high FIO2 compared with conventional FIO2 did not reduce postoperative SSIs in abdominal surgery. No differences in secondary outcomes or adverse events were found.

  • Individualised, perioperative open-lung ventilation strategy during one-lung ventilation (iPROVE-OLV) : a multicentre, randomised, controlled clinical trial
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. - : Elsevier. - 2213-2600 .- 2213-2619. ; 12:3, s. 195-206
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background It is uncertain whether individualisation of the perioperative open-lung approach (OLA) to ventilation reduces postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing lung resection. We compared a perioperative individualised OLA (iOLA) ventilation strategy with standard lung-protective ventilation in patients undergoing thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation. Methods This multicentre, randomised controlled trial enrolled patients scheduled for open or video-assisted thoracic surgery using one-lung ventilation in 25 participating hospitals in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, and Ecuador. Eligible adult patients (age >= 18 years) were randomly assigned to receive iOLA or standard lung-protective ventilation. Eligible patients (stratified by centre) were randomly assigned online by local principal investigators, with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Treatment with iOLA included an alveolar recruitment manoeuvre to 40 cm H2O of end-inspiratory pressure followed by individualised positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titrated to best respiratory system compliance, and individualised postoperative respiratory support with high-flow oxygen therapy. Participants allocated to standard lungprotective ventilation received combined intraoperative 4 cm H2O of PEEP and postoperative conventional oxygen therapy. The primary outcome was a composite of severe postoperative pulmonary complications within the first 7 postoperative days, including atelectasis requiring bronchoscopy, severe respiratory failure, contralateral pneumothorax, early extubation failure (rescue with continuous positive airway pressure, non-invasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, or reintubation), acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary infection, bronchopleural fistula, and pleural empyema. Due to trial setting, data obtained in the operating and postoperative rooms for routine monitoring were not blinded. At 24 h, data were acquired by an investigator blinded to group allocation. All analyses were performed on an intention-to-treat basis. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03182062, and is complete. Findings Between Sept 11, 2018, and June 14, 2022, we enrolled 1380 patients, of whom 1308 eligible patients (670 [434 male, 233 female, and three with missing data] assigned to iOLA and 638 [395 male, 237 female, and six with missing data] to standard lung-protective ventilation) were included in the final analysis. The proportion of patients with the composite outcome of severe postoperative pulmonary complications within the first 7 postoperative days was lower in the iOLA group compared with the standard lung-protective ventilation group (40 [6%] vs 97 [15%], relative risk 0 center dot 39 [95% CI 0 center dot 28 to 0 center dot 56]), with an absolute risk difference of -9 center dot 23 (95% CI -12 center dot 55 to -5 center dot 92). Recruitment manoeuvre-related adverse events were reported in five patients. Interpretation Among patients subjected to lung resection under one-lung ventilation, iOLA was associated with a reduced risk of severe postoperative pulmonary complications when compared with conventional lung-protective ventilation.

  • Rationale and study design for an individualized perioperative open lung ventilatory strategy (iPROVE) : study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Trials. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1745-6215. ; 16
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Postoperative pulmonary and non-pulmonary complications are common problems that increase morbidity and mortality in surgical patients, even though the incidence has decreased with the increased use of protective lung ventilation strategies. Previous trials have focused on standard strategies in the intraoperative or postoperative period, but without personalizing these strategies to suit the needs of each individual patient and without considering both these periods as a global perioperative lung-protective approach. The trial presented here aims at comparing postoperative complications when using an individualized ventilatory management strategy in the intraoperative and immediate postoperative periods with those when using a standard protective ventilation strategy in patients scheduled for major abdominal surgery. Methods: This is a comparative, prospective, multicenter, randomized, and controlled, four-arm trial that will include 1012 patients with an intermediate or high risk for postoperative pulmonary complications. The patients will be divided into four groups: (1) individualized perioperative group: intra-and postoperative individualized strategy; (2) intraoperative individualized strategy + postoperative continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP); (3) intraoperative standard ventilation + postoperative CPAP; (4) intra-and postoperative standard strategy (conventional strategy). The primary outcome is a composite analysis of postoperative complications. Discussion: The Individualized Perioperative Open-lung Ventilatory Strategy (iPROVE) is the first multicenter, randomized, and controlled trial to investigate whether an individualized perioperative approach prevents postoperative pulmonary complications.

  • Sequential lateral positioning as a new lung recruitment maneuver : an exploratory study in early mechanically ventilated Covid-19 ARDS patients
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Annals of Intensive Care. - : Springer Nature. - 2110-5820. ; 12:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: A sequential change in body position from supine-to-both lateral positions under constant ventilatory settings could be used as a postural recruitment maneuver in case of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), provided that sufficient positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) prevents derecruitment. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and physiological effects of a sequential postural recruitment maneuver in early mechanically ventilated COVID-19 ARDS patients. Methods: A cohort of 15 patients receiving lung-protective mechanical ventilation in volume-controlled with PEEP based on recruitability were prospectively enrolled and evaluated in five sequentially applied positions for 30 min each: Supine-baseline; Lateral-1st side; 2nd Supine; Lateral-2nd side; Supine-final. PEEP level was selected using the recruitment-to-inflation ratio (R/I ratio) based on which patients received PEEP 12 cmH(2)O for R/I ratio <= 0.5 or PEEP 15 cmH(2)O for R/I ratio > 0.5. At the end of each period, we measured respiratory mechanics, arterial blood gases, lung ultrasound aeration, end-expiratory lung impedance (EELI), and regional distribution of ventilation and perfusion using electric impedance tomography (EIT). Results: Comparing supine baseline and final, respiratory compliance (29 +/- 9 vs 32 +/- 8 mL/cmH(2)O; p < 0.01) and PaO2/FlO(2) ratio (138 +/- 36 vs 164 +/- 46 mmHg; p < 0.01) increased, while driving pressure (13 +/- 2 vs 11 +/- 2 cmH(2)O; p < 0.01) and lung ultrasound consolidation score decreased [5 (4-5) vs 2 (1-4); p < 0.01]. EELI decreased ventrally (218 +/- 205 mL; p < 0.01) and increased dorsally (192 +/- 475 mL; p = 0.02), while regional compliance increased in both ventral (11.5 +/- 0.7 vs 12.9 +/- 0.8 mL/cmH(2)O;p< 0.01 ) and dorsal regions (17.1 +/- 1.8 vs 18.8 +/- 1.8 mL/cmH(2)O; p < 0.01). Dorsal distribution of perfusion increased (64.8 +/- 7.3% vs 66.3 +/- 7.2%; p = 0.01). Conclusions: Without increasing airway pressure, a sequential postural recruitment maneuver improves global and regional respiratory mechanics and gas exchange along with a redistribution of EELI from ventral to dorsal lung areas and less consolidation.

  • Model fitting of volumetric capnograms improves calculations of airway dead space and slope of phase III
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Journal of clinical monitoring and computing. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1387-1307 .- 1573-2614. ; 23:4, s. 197-206
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background This study assessed the performance of a Functional Approximation based on a Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm (FA-LMA) to calculate airway dead space (VDaw) and the slope of phase III (S III) from capnograms. Methods We performed mathematical simulations to test the effect of noises on the calculation of VDaw and S III. Data from ten mechanically ventilated patients at 0, 5 and 10 cmH2O of PEEP were also studied. FA-LMA was compared with the traditional Fowler’s method (FM). Results Simulations showed that: (1) The FM determined VDaw with accuracy only if the capnogram approximated a symmetrical curve (S III = 0). When capnograms became asymmetrical (S III > 0), the FM underestimated VDaw (−3.1% to −0.9%). (2) When adding noises on 800 capnograms, VDaw was underestimated whenever the FM was used thereby creating a bias between −5.54 and −1.28 ml at standard deviations (SD) of 0.1–1.8 ml (P < 0.0001). FA-LMA calculations of VDaw were close to the simulated values with the bias ranging from −0.21 to 0.16 ml at SD from 0.1 to 0.4 ml. The FM overestimated S III and showed more bias (0.0041–0.0078 mmHg/ml, P < 0.0001) than the FA-LMA (0.0002–0.0030 mmHg/ml). When calculating VDaw from patients, variability was less with the FA-LMA leading to mean variation coefficients of 0.0102, 0.0111 and 0.0123 compared to the FM (0.0243, 0.0247 and 0.0262, P < 0.001) for 0, 5 and 10 cmH2O of PEEP, respectively. The FA-LMA also showed less variability in S III with mean variation coefficients of 0.0739, 0.0662 and 0.0730 compared to the FM (0.1379, 0.1208 and 0.1246, P < 0.001) for 0, 5 and 10 cmH2O of PEEP, respectively. Conclusions The Functional Approxi- mation based on a Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm showed less bias and dispersion compared to the traditional Fowler’s method when calculating VDaw and S III.

  • Unsuccessful and Successful Clinical Trials in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome : Addressing Physiology-Based Gaps
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Frontiers in Physiology. - : Frontiers Media S.A.. - 1664-042X. ; 12
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure caused by an insult to the alveolar-capillary membrane, resulting in a marked reduction of aerated alveoli, increased vascular permeability and subsequent interstitial and alveolar pulmonary edema, reduced lung compliance, increase of physiological dead space, and hypoxemia. Most ARDS patients improve their systemic oxygenation, as assessed by the ratio between arterial partial pressure of oxygen and inspired oxygen fraction, with conventional intensive care and the application of moderate-to-high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure. However, in some patients hypoxemia persisted because the lungs are markedly injured, remaining unresponsive to increasing the inspiratory fraction of oxygen and positive end-expiratory pressure. For decades, mechanical ventilation was the only standard support technique to provide acceptable oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal. Mechanical ventilation provides time for the specific therapy to reverse the disease-causing lung injury and for the recovery of the respiratory function. The adverse effects of mechanical ventilation are direct consequences of the changes in pulmonary airway pressures and intrathoracic volume changes induced by the repetitive mechanical cycles in a diseased lung. In this article, we review 14 major successful and unsuccessful randomized controlled trials conducted in patients with ARDS on a series of techniques to improve oxygenation and ventilation published since 2010. Those trials tested the effects of adjunctive therapies (neuromuscular blocking agents, prone positioning), methods for selecting the optimum positive end-expiratory pressure (after recruitment maneuvers, or guided by esophageal pressure), high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, extracorporeal oxygenation, and pharmacologic immune modulators of the pulmonary and systemic inflammatory responses in patients affected by ARDS. We will briefly comment physiology-based gaps of negative trials and highlight the possible needs to address in future clinical trials in ARDS.

  • Doppler images of intra-pulmonary shunt within atelectasis in anesthetized children
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Critical Ultrasound Journal. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2036-3176 .- 2036-7902. ; 8
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Doppler images of pulmonary vessels in pulmonary diseases associated with subpleural consolidations have been described. Color Doppler easily identifies such vessels within consolidations while spectral Doppler analysis allows the differentiation between pulmonary and bronchial arteries. Thus, Doppler helps in diagnosing the nature of consolidations. To our knowledge, Doppler analysis of pulmonary vessels within anesthesia-induced atelectasis has never been described before. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the ability of lung ultrasound to detect the shunting of blood within atelectatic lung areas in anesthetized children.Findings: Three anesthetized and mechanically ventilated children were scanned in the supine position using a high-resolution linear probe of 6-12 MHz. Once subpleural consolidations were detected in the most dependent posterior lung regions, the probe was rotated such that its long axis followed the intercostal space. In this oblique position, color Doppler mapping was performed to detect blood flow within the consolidation. Thereafter, pulsed waved spectral Doppler was applied in the previously identified vessels during a short expiratory pause, which prevented interferences from respiratory motion. Different flow patterns were identified which corresponded to both, pulmonary and bronchial vessels. Finally, a lung recruitment maneuver was performed which leads to the complete resolution of the aforementioned consolidation thereby confirming the pathophysiological entity of anesthesia-induced atelectasis.Conclusions: Lung ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging tool that not only enables the diagnosis of anesthesia-induced atelectasis in pediatric patients but also analysis of shunting blood within this consolidation.

  • Effect of an Individualized Lung Protective Ventilation on Lung Strain and Stress in Children Undergoing Laparoscopy : An Observational Cohort Study
  • 2024
  • Ingår i: Anesthesiology. - : American Society of Anesthesiologists. - 0003-3022 .- 1528-1175. ; 140:3, s. 430-441
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Exaggerated lung strain and stress could damage lungs in anesthetized children. The authors hypothesized that the association of capnoperitoneum and lung collapse in anesthetized children increases lung strain-stress. Their primary aim was to describe the impact of capnoperitoneum on lung strain-stress and the effects of an individualized protective ventilation during laparoscopic surgery in children.Methods: The authors performed an observational cohort study in healthy children aged 3 to 7 yr scheduled for laparoscopic surgery in a community hospital. All received standard protective ventilation with 5 cm H2O of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Children were evaluated before capnoperitoneum, during capnoperitoneum before and after lung recruitment and optimized PEEP (PEEP adjusted to get end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure of 0), and after capnoperitoneum with optimized PEEP. The presence of lung collapse was evaluated by lung ultrasound, positive Air-Test (oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry 96% or less breathing 21% O2 for 5 min), and negative end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure. Lung strain was calculated as tidal volume/end-expiratory lung volume measured by capnodynamics, and lung stress as the end-inspiratory transpulmonary pressure.Results: The authors studied 20 children. Before capnoperitoneum, mean lung strain was 0.20 ± 0.07 (95% CI, 0.17 to 0.23), and stress was 5.68 ± 2.83 (95% CI, 4.44 to 6.92) cm H2O. During capnoperitoneum, 18 patients presented lung collapse and strain (0.29 ± 0.13; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.35; P < 0.001) and stress (5.92 ± 3.18; 95% CI, 4.53 to 7.31 cm H2O; P = 0.374) increased compared to before capnoperitoneum. During capnoperitoneum and optimized PEEP, children presenting lung collapse were recruited and optimized PEEP was 8.3 ± 2.2 (95% CI, 7.3 to 9.3) cm H2O. Strain returned to values before capnoperitoneum (0.20 ± 0.07; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.22; P = 0.318), but lung stress increased (7.29 ± 2.67; 95% CI, 6.12 to 8.46 cm H2O; P = 0.020). After capnoperitoneum, strain decreased (0.18 ± 0.04; 95% CI, 0.16 to 0.20; P = 0.090), but stress remained higher (7.25 ± 3.01; 95% CI, 5.92 to 8.57 cm H2O; P = 0.024) compared to before capnoperitoneum.Conclusions: Capnoperitoneum increased lung strain in healthy children undergoing laparoscopy. Lung recruitment and optimized PEEP during capnoperitoneum decreased lung strain but slightly increased lung stress. This little rise in pulmonary stress was maintained within safe, lung-protective, and clinically acceptable limits.

    • BACKGROUND Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) prevents peri-operative atelectasis in adults, but its effect in children has not been quantified.OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CPAP in preventing postinduction and postoperative atelectasis in children under general anaesthesia.DESIGN A randomised controlled study.SETTING Single-institution study, community hospital, Mar del Plata. Argentina.PATIENTS We studied 42 children, aged 6 months to 7 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class I, under standardised general anaesthesia.INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomised into two groups: Control group (n = 21): induction and emergence of anaesthesia without CPAP; and CPAP group (n = 21): 5 cmH2O of CPAP during induction and emergence of anaesthesia. Lung ultrasound (LUS) imaging was performed before and 5 min after anaesthesia induction. Children without atelectasis were ventilated in the same manner as the Control group with standard ventilatory settings including 5 cmH2O of PEEP. Children with atelectasis received a recruitment manoeuvre followed by standard ventilation with 8 cmH2O of PEEP. Then, at the end of surgery, LUS images were repeated before tracheal extubation and 60 min after awakening.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Lung aeration score and atelectasis assessed by LUS.RESULTS Before anaesthesia, all children were free of atelectasis. After induction, 95% in the Control group developed atelectasis compared with 52% of patients in the CPAP group (P < 0.0001). LUS aeration scores were higher (impaired aeration) in the Control group than the CPAP group (8.8 ± 3.8 vs. 3.5 ± 3.3 points; P < 0.0001). At the end of surgery, before tracheal extubation, atelectasis was observed in 100% of children in the Control and 29% of the CPAP group (P < 0.0001) with a corresponding aeration score of 9.6 ± 3.2 and 1.8 ± 2.3, respectively (P < 0.0001). After surgery, 30% of children in the Control group and 10% in the CPAP group presented with residual atelectasis (P < 0.0001) also corresponding to a higher aeration score in the Control group (2.5 ± 3.1) when compared with the CPAP group (0.5 ± 1.5; P < 0.01).CONCLUSION The use of 5 cmH2O of CPAP in healthy children of the studied age span during induction and emergence of anaesthesia effectively prevents atelectasis, with benefits maintained during the first postoperative hour.TRIAL REGISTRY Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03461770.

  • Altering the mechanical scenario to decrease the driving pressure
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Critical Care. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1364-8535 .- 1466-609X. ; 19:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Ventilator settings resulting in decreased driving pressure (ΔP) are positively associated with survival. How to further foster the potential beneficial mediator effect of a reduced ΔP? One possibility is promoting the active modification of the lung's "mechanical scenario" by means of lung recruitment and positive end-expiratory pressure selection. By taking into account the individual distribution of the threshold-opening airway pressures to achieve maximal recruitment, a redistribution of the tidal volume from overdistended to newly recruited lung occurs. The resulting more homogeneous distribution of transpulmonary pressures may induce a relief of overdistension in the upper regions. The gain in lung compliance after a successful recruitment rescales the size of the functional lung, potentially allowing for a further reduction in ΔP.

  • Early inflammation mainly affects normally and poorly aerated lung in experimental ventilator-induced lung injury
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Critical Care Medicine. - 0090-3493 .- 1530-0293. ; 42:4, s. e279-e287
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVE: The common denominator in most forms of ventilator-induced lung injury is an intense inflammatory response mediated by neutrophils. PET with [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose can be used to image cellular metabolism, which, during lung inflammatory processes, mainly reflects neutrophil activity, allowing the study of regional lung inflammation in vivo. The aim of this study was to assess the location and magnitude of lung inflammation using PET imaging of [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose in a porcine experimental model of early acute respiratory distress syndrome.DESIGN: Prospective laboratory investigation.SETTING: A university animal research laboratory.SUBJECTS: Seven piglets submitted to experimental ventilator-induced lung injury and five healthy controls.INTERVENTIONS: Lung injury was induced by lung lavages and 210 minutes of injurious mechanical ventilation using low positive end-expiratory pressure and high inspiratory pressures. All animals were subsequently studied with dynamic PET imaging of [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose. CT scans were acquired at end expiration and end inspiration.MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake rate was computed for the whole lung, four isogravitational regions, and regions grouping voxels with similar density. Global and intermediate gravitational zones [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose uptakes were higher in ventilator-induced lung injury piglets compared with controls animals. Uptake of normally and poorly aerated regions was also higher in ventilator-induced lung injury piglets compared with control piglets, whereas regions suffering tidal recruitment or tidal hyperinflation had [F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose uptakes similar to controls.CONCLUSIONS: The present findings suggest that normally and poorly aerated regions-corresponding to intermediate gravitational zones-are the primary targets of the inflammatory process accompanying early experimental ventilator-induced lung injury. This may be attributed to the small volume of the aerated lung, which receives most of ventilation.

  • Lung Inflammation Persists After 27 Hours of Protective Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network Strategy and Is Concentrated in the Nondependent Lung
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Critical Care Medicine. - 0090-3493 .- 1530-0293. ; 43:5, s. E123-E132
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective: PET with [F-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose can be used to image cellular metabolism, which during lung inflammation mainly reflects neutrophil activity, allowing the study of regional lung inflammation in vivo. We aimed at studying the location and evolution of inflammation by PET imaging, relating it to morphology (CT), during the first 27 hours of application of protective-ventilation strategy as suggested by the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network, in a porcine experimental model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Design: Prospective laboratory investigation. Setting: University animal research laboratory. Subjects: Ten piglets submitted to an experimental model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Interventions: Lung injury was induced by lung lavages and 210 minutes of injurious mechanical ventilation using low positive end-expiratory pressure and high inspiratory pressures. During 27 hours of controlled mechanical ventilation according to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network strategy, the animals were studied with dynamic PET imaging of [F-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose at two occasions with 24-hour interval between them. Measurements and Main Results: [F-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake rate was computed for the total lung, four horizontal regions from top to bottom (nondependent to dependent regions) and for voxels grouped by similar density using standard Hounsfield units classification. The global lung uptake was elevated at 3 and 27 hours, suggesting persisting inflammation. In both PET acquisitions, nondependent regions presented the highest uptake (p = 0.002 and p = 0.006). Furthermore, from 3 to 27 hours, there was a change in the distribution of regional uptake (p = 0.003), with more pronounced concentration of inflammation in nondependent regions. Additionally, the poorly aerated tissue presented the largest uptake concentration after 27 hours. Conclusions: Protective Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network strategy did not attenuate global pulmonary inflammation during the first 27 hours after severe lung insult. The strategy led to a concentration of inflammatory activity in the upper lung regions and in the poorly aerated lung regions. The present findings suggest that the poorly aerated lung tissue is an important target of the perpetuation of the inflammatory process occurring during ventilation according to the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network strategy.

    • The assessment of the regional match between alveolar ventilation and perfusion in critically ill patients requires simultaneous measurements of both parameters. Ideally, assessment of lung perfusion should be performed in real-time with an imaging technology which provides, through fast acquisition of sequential images, information about the regional dynamics or regional kinetics of an appropriate tracer. We present a novel electrical impedance tomography (EIT) based method that quantitatively estimates regional lung perfusion based on first-pass kinetics of a bolus of hypertonic saline contrast. Pulmonary blood flow was measured in six piglets during control and unilateral or bilateral lung collapse conditions. The first-pass kinetics method showed good agreement with the estimates obtained by single-photon-emission computerized tomography (SPECT). The mean difference (SPECT minus EIT) between fractional blood flow to lung areas suffering atelectasis was -0.6 %, with a standard deviation of 2.9 %. This method outperformed the estimates of lung perfusion based on impedance-pulsatility. In conclusion, we describe a novel method based on Electrical Impedance Tomography for estimating regional lung perfusion at the bedside. In both, healthy and injured lung conditions, the distribution of pulmonary blood flow as assessed by EIT agreed well with the one obtained by SPECT. The method proposed in this paper has the potential to contribute to a better understanding of the behavior of regional perfusion under different lung and therapeutic conditions.

  • Bedside estimation of recruitable alveolar collapse and hyperdistension by electrical impedance tomography
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: Intensive Care Medicine. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0342-4642 .- 1432-1238. ; 35:6, s. 1132-1137

    • OBJECTIVE: To present a novel algorithm for estimating recruitable alveolar collapse and hyperdistension based on electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during a decremental positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration. DESIGN: Technical note with illustrative case reports. SETTING: Respiratory intensive care unit. PATIENT: Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. INTERVENTIONS: Lung recruitment and PEEP titration maneuver. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Simultaneous acquisition of EIT and X-ray computerized tomography (CT) data. We found good agreement (in terms of amount and spatial location) between the collapse estimated by EIT and CT for all levels of PEEP. The optimal PEEP values detected by EIT for patients 1 and 2 (keeping lung collapse <10%) were 19 and 17 cmH2O, respectively. Although pointing to the same non-dependent lung regions, EIT estimates of hyperdistension represent the functional deterioration of lung units, instead of their anatomical changes, and could not be compared directly with static CT estimates for hyperinflation. CONCLUSIONS: We described an EIT-based method for estimating recruitable alveolar collapse at the bedside, pointing out its regional distribution. Additionally, we proposed a measure of lung hyperdistension based on regional lung mechanics.

    • Background: To test whether a Shallow Neural Network (S-NN) can detect and classify vasculartone dependent changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP) by advanced photopletysmographic(PPG) waveform analysis.Methods: PPG and invasive ABP signals were recorded in 26 patients undergoing scheduled general surgery. We studied the occurrence of episodes of hypertension (systolic arterial pressure(SAP) > 140 mmHg), normotension and hypotension (SAP < 90 mmHg). Vascular tone accordingto PPG was classified in two ways: 1) By visual inspection of changes in PPG waveform amplitude and dichrotic notch position; where Classes I-II represent vasoconstriction (notch placed> 50% of PPG amplitude in small amplitude waves), Class III normal vascular tone (notch placedbetween 20-50% of PPG amplitude in normal waves) and Classes IV-V-VI vasodilation (notch <20% of PPG amplitude in large waves). 2) By an automated analysis, using S-NN trained andvalidated system that combines seven PPG derived parameters.Results: The visual assessment was precise in detecting hypotension (sensitivity 91%, specificity86% and accuracy 88%) and hypertension (sensitivity 93%, specificity 88% and accuracy 90%). Normotension presented as a visual Class III (III-III) (median and 1st-3rdquartiles), hypotensionas a Class V (IV-VI) and hypertension as a Class II (I-III); all p < 0.0001. The automated S-NNperformed well in classifying ABP conditions. The percentage of data with correct classificationby S-ANN was 83% for normotension, 94% for hypotension, and 90% for hypertension.Conclusions: Changes in ABP were correctly classified automatically by S-NN analysis of the PPGwaveform contour.

  • A noninvasive postoperative clinical score to identify patients at risk for postoperative pulmonary complications : the Air-Test Score
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Minerva Anestesiologica. - : EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA. - 0375-9393 .- 1827-1596. ; 86:4, s. 404-415

    • BACKGROUND: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) negatively affect morbidity, healthcare costs and postsurgical survival. Preoperative and intraoperative peripheral oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO(2)) levels are independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). The air-test assesses the value of SpO(2) while breathing room-air. We aimed at building a clinical score that includes the air-test for predicting the risk for PPCs. METHODS: This is a development and validation study in patients -randomly divided into two cohorts- from a large randomized clinical trial (iPROVE) that enrolled 964 intermediate-to-high risk patients scheduled for abdominal surgery. Arterial oxygenation was assessed on room-air in the preoperative period (preoperative air-test) and 3h after admission to the postoperative care unit (postoperative air-test). The air-test was defined as positive or negative if SpO(2) was <= 96% or >96%, respectively. Positive air-tests were stratified into weak (93-96%) or strong (<93%). The primary outcome was a composite of moderate-to-severe PPCs during the first seven postoperative days. RESULTS: A total of 902 patients were included in the final analysis (542 in the development cohort and 360 in the validation cohort). Regression analysis identified five independent risk factors for PPC: age. type of surgery, pre- and postoperative air-test, and atelectasis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.75-0.82) when including these five independent predictors. We built a simplified score termed "air-test score" by using only the pre- and postoperative SpO(2) , resulting in an AUC of 0.72 (95% CI: 0.67-0.76) for the derivation and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.66-0.78) for the validation cohort, respectively. The air-test score stratified patients into four levels of risk, with PPCs ranging from <15% to >75%. CONCLUSIONS: The simple, non-invasive and inexpensive bedside air-test score, evaluating pre- and postoperatively SpO(2) measured on room-air, helps to predict the risk for PPCs.

  • Adjusting tidal volume to stress index in an open lung condition optimizes ventilation and prevents overdistension in an experimental model of lung injury and reduced chest wall compliance
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Critical Care. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1364-8535 .- 1466-609X. ; 19
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Introduction: The stress index ( SI), a parameter derived from the shape of the pressure-time curve, can identify injurious mechanical ventilation. We tested the hypothesis that adjusting tidal volume (VT) to a non-injurious SI in an open lung condition avoids hypoventilation while preventing overdistension in an experimental model of combined lung injury and low chest-wall compliance (Ccw). Methods: Lung injury was induced by repeated lung lavages using warm saline solution, and Ccw was reduced by controlled intra-abdominal air-insufflation in 22 anesthetized, paralyzed and mechanically ventilated pigs. After injury animals were recruited and submitted to a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration trial to find the PEEP level resulting in maximum compliance. During a subsequent four hours of mechanical ventilation, VT was adjusted to keep a plateau pressure (Pplat) of 30 cmH2O (Pplat-group, n = 11) or to a SI between 0.95 and 1.05 (SI-group, n = 11). Respiratory rate was adjusted to maintain a 'normal' PaCO2 (35 to 65 mmHg). SI, lung mechanics, arterial-blood gases haemodynamics pro-inflammatory cytokines and histopathology were analyzed. In addition Computed Tomography (CT) data were acquired at end expiration and end inspiration in six animals. Results: PaCO2 was significantly higher in the Pplat-group (82 versus 53 mmHg, P = 0.01), with a resulting lower pH (7.19 versus 7.34, P = 0.01). We observed significant differences in VT (7.3 versus 5.4 mlKg-1, P = 0.002) and Pplat values (30 versus 35 cmH2O, P = 0.001) between the Pplat-group and SI-group respectively. SI (1.03 versus 0.99, P = 0.42) and end-inspiratory transpulmonary pressure (PTP) (17 versus 18 cmH2O, P = 0.42) were similar in the Pplat-and SI-groups respectively, without differences in overinflated lung areas at end-inspiration in both groups. Cytokines and histopathology showed no differences. Conclusions: Setting tidal volume to a non-injurious stress index in an open lung condition improves alveolar ventilation and prevents overdistension without increasing lung injury. This is in comparison with limited Pplat protective ventilation in a model of lung injury with low chest-wall compliance.

    • Purpose The main characteristics of mechanically ventilated ARDS patients affected with COVID-19, and the adherence to lung-protective ventilation strategies are not well known. We describe characteristics and outcomes of confirmed ARDS in COVID-19 patients managed with invasive mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study in consecutive, mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS (as defined by the Berlin criteria) affected with with COVID-19 (confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in nasal or pharyngeal swab specimens), admitted to a network of 36 Spanish and Andorran intensive care units (ICUs) between March 12 and June 1, 2020. We examined the clinical features, ventilatory management, and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 ARDS patients, and compared some results with other relevant studies in non-COVID-19 ARDS patients. Results A total of 742 patients were analysed with complete 28-day outcome data: 128 (17.1%) with mild, 331 (44.6%) with moderate, and 283 (38.1%) with severe ARDS. At baseline, defined as the first day on invasive MV, median (IQR) values were: tidal volume 6.9 (6.3-7.8) ml/kg predicted body weight, positive end-expiratory pressure 12 (11-14) cmH(2)O. Values of respiratory system compliance 35 (27-45) ml/cmH(2)O, plateau pressure 25 (22-29) cmH(2)O, and driving pressure 12 (10-16) cmH(2)O were similar cto values from non-COVID-19 ARDS observed in other studies. Recruitment maneuvers, prone position and neuromuscular blocking agents were used in 79%, 76% and 72% of patients, respectively. The risk of 28-day mortality was lower in mild ARDS [hazard ratio (RR) 0.56 (95% CI 0.33-0.93),p = 0.026] and moderate ARDS [hazard ratio (RR) 0.69 (95% CI 0.47-0.97),p = 0.035] when compared to severe ARDS. The 28-day mortality was similar to other observational studies in non-COVID-19 ARDS patients. Conclusions In this large series, COVID-19 ARDS patients have features similar to other causes of ARDS, compliance with lung-protective ventilation was high, and the risk of 28-day mortality increased with the degree of ARDS severity.

  • Individualised perioperative open-lung approach versus standard protective ventilation in abdominal surgery (iPROVE) : a randomised controlled trial
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. - : ELSEVIER SCI LTD. - 2213-2600 .- 2213-2619. ; 6:3, s. 193-203

    • Background The effects of individualised perioperative lung-protective ventilation (based on the open-lung approach [OLA]) on postoperative complications is unknown. We aimed to investigate the effects of intraoperative and postoperative ventilatory management in patients scheduled for abdominal surgery, compared with standard protective ventilation. Methods We did this prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial in 21 teaching hospitals in Spain. We enrolled patients who were aged 18 years or older, were scheduled to have abdominal surgery with an expected time of longer than 2 h, had intermediate-to-high-risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications, and who had a body-mass index less than 35 kg/m(2). Patients were randomly assigned (1: 1: 1: 1) online to receive one of four lung-protective ventilation strategies using low tidal volume plus positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP): open-lung approach (OLA)-iCPAP (individualised intraoperative ventilation [individualised PEEP after a lung recruitment manoeuvre] plus individualised postoperative continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP]), OLA-CPAP (intraoperative individualised ventilation plus postoperative CPAP), STD-CPAP (standard intraoperative ventilation plus postoperative CPAP), or STD-O-2 (standard intraoperative ventilation plus standard postoperative oxygen therapy). Patients were masked to treatment allocation. Investigators were not masked in the operating and postoperative rooms; after 24 h, data were given to a second investigator who was masked to allocations. The primary outcome was a composite of pulmonary and systemic complications during the first 7 postoperative days. We did the primary analysis using the modified intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02158923. Findings Between Jan 2, 2015, and May 18, 2016, we enrolled 1012 eligible patients. Data were available for 967 patients, whom we included in the final analysis. Risk of pulmonary and systemic complications did not differ for patients in OLA-iCPAP (110 [46%] of 241, relative risk 0.89 [95% CI 0.74-1.07; p=0.25]), OLA-CPAP (111 [47%] of 238, 0.91 [0.76-1.09; p=0.35]), or STD-CPAP groups (118 [48%] of 244, 0.95 [0.80-1.14; p=0.65]) when compared with patients in the STD-O-2 group (125 [51%] of 244). Intraoperatively, PEEP was increased in 69 (14%) of patients in the standard perioperative ventilation groups because of hypoxaemia, and no patients from either of the OLA groups required rescue manoeuvres. Interpretation In patients who have major abdominal surgery, the different perioperative open lung approaches tested in this study did not reduce the risk of postoperative complications when compared with standard lung-protective mechanical ventilation.

    • Background The preventive role of an intraoperative recruitment maneuver plus open lung approach (RM + OLA) ventilation on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) remains unclear. We aimed at investigating whether an intraoperative open lung condition reduces the risk of developing a composite of PPCs.Methods Post hoc analysis of two randomized controlled trials including patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Patients were classified according to the intraoperative lung condition as "open" (OL) or "non-open" (NOL) if PaO2/FIO2 ratio was >= or <400 mmHg, respectively. We used a multivariable logistic regression model that included potential confounders selected with directed acyclic graphs (DAG) using Dagitty software built with variables that were considered clinically relevant based on biological mechanism or evidence from previously published data. PPCs included severe acute respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pneumonia.Results A total of 1480 patients were included in the final analysis, with 718 (49%) classified as OL. The rate of severe PPCs during the first seven postoperative days was 6.0% (7.9% in the NOL and 4.4% in the OL group, p = .007). OL was independently associated with a lower risk for severe PPCs during the first 7 and 30 postoperative days [odds ratio of 0.58 (95% CI 0.34-0.99, p = .04) and 0.56 (95% CI 0.34-0.94, p = .03), respectively].Conclusions An intraoperative open lung condition was associated with a reduced risk of developing severe PPCs in intermediate-to-high risk patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Trial registration: Registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT02158923 (iPROVE), NCT02776046 (iPROVE-O2).

  • Open lung approach versus standard protective strategies : Effects on driving pressure and ventilatory efficiency during anesthesia - A pilot, randomized controlled trial
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: PLOS ONE. - : PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE. - 1932-6203. ; 12:5
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Low tidal volume (VT) during anesthesia minimizes lung injury but may be associated to a decrease in functional lung volume impairing lung mechanics and efficiency. Lung recruitment (RM) can restore lung volume but this may critically depend on the post-RM selected PEEP. This study was a randomized, two parallel arm, open study whose primary outcome was to compare the effects on driving pressure of adding a RM to low-VT ventilation, with or without an individualized post-RM PEEP in patients without known previous lung disease during anesthesia.Methods: Consecutive patients scheduled for major abdominal surgery were submitted to low-VT ventilation (6 ml.kg(-1)) and standard PEEP of 5 cmH(2)O (pre-RM, n = 36). After 30 min estabilization all patients received a RM and were randomly allocated to either continue with the same PEEP (RM-5 group, n = 18) or to an individualized open-lung PEEP (OL-PEEP) (Open Lung Approach, OLA group, n = 18) defined as the level resulting in maximal Cdyn during a decremental PEEP trial. We compared the effects on driving pressure and lung efficiency measured by volumetric capnography.Results: OL-PEEP was found at 8 +/- 2 cmH(2)O. 36 patients were included in the final analysis. When compared with pre-RM, OLA resulted in a 22% increase in compliance and a 28% decrease in driving pressure when compared to pre-RM. These parameters did not improve in the RM-5. The trend of the DP was significantly different between the OLA and RM-5 groups (p = 0.002). VDalv/VTalv was significantly lower in the OLA group after the RM (p = 0.035).Conclusions: Lung recruitment applied during low-VT ventilation improves driving pressure and lung efficiency only when applied as an open-lung strategy with an individualized PEEP in patients without lung diseases undergoing major abdominal surgery.

  • Rationale and study design for an individualised perioperative open-lung ventilatory strategy with a high versus conventional inspiratory oxygen fraction (iPROVE-O2) and its effects on surgical site infection : study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: BMJ Open. - : BMJ. - 2044-6055. ; 7:7
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Introduction Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious postoperative complication that increases morbidity and healthcare costs. SSIs tend to increase as the partial pressure of tissue oxygen decreases: previous trials have focused on trying to reduce them by comparing high versus conventional inspiratory oxygen fractions (FIO 2) in the perioperative period but did not use a protocolised ventilatory strategy. The open-lung ventilatory approach restores functional lung volume and improves gas exchange, and therefore it may increase the partial pressure of tissue oxygen for a given FIO 2. The trial presented here aims to compare the efficacy of high versus conventional FIO 2 in reducing the overall incidence of SSIs in patients by implementing a protocolised and individualised global approach to perioperative open-lung ventilation. Methods and analysis This is a comparative, prospective, multicentre, randomised and controlled two-arm trial that will include 756 patients scheduled for abdominal surgery. The patients will be randomised into two groups: (1) a high FIO 2 group (80% oxygen; FIO 2 of 0.80) and (2) a conventional FIO 2 group (30% oxygen; FIO 2 of 0.30). Each group will be assessed intra-and postoperatively. The primary outcome is the appearance of postoperative SSI complications. Secondary outcomes are the appearance of systemic and pulmonary complications. Ethics and dissemination The iPROVE-O2 trial has been approved by the Ethics Review Board at the reference centre (the Hospital Clinico Universitario in Valencia). Informed consent will be obtained from all patients before their participation. If the approach using high FIO 2 during individualised open-lung ventilation decreases SSIs, use of this method will become standard practice for patients scheduled for future abdominal surgery. Publication of the results is anticipated in early 2019.

  • The accuracy of postoperative, non-invasive Air-Test to diagnose atelectasis in healthy patients after surgery : a prospective, diagnostic pilot study
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: BMJ Open. - : BMJ. - 2044-6055. ; 7:5
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) while breathing room air for 5 min (the 'Air-Test') in detecting postoperative atelectasis. Design Prospective cohort study. Diagnostic accuracy was assessed by measuring the agreement between the index test and the reference standard CT scan images. Setting Postanaesthetic care unit in a tertiary hospital in Spain. Participants Three hundred and fifty patients from 12 January to 7 February 2015; 170 patients scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia who were admitted into the postsurgical unit were included. Intervention The Air-Test was performed in conscious extubated patients after a 30 min stabilisation period during which they received supplemental oxygen therapy via a venturi mask. The Air-Test was defined as positive when SpO(2) was >= 96% and negative when SpO(2) was >= 97%. Arterial blood gases were measured in all patients at the end of the Air-Test. In the subsequent 25 min, the presence of atelectasis was evaluated by performing a CT scan in 59 randomly selected patients. Main outcome measures The primary study outcome was assessment of the accuracy of the Air-Test for detecting postoperative atelectasis compared with the reference standard. The secondary outcome was the incidence of positive Air-Test results. Results The Air-Test diagnosed postoperative atelectasis with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.90 (95% CI 0.82 to 0.98) with a sensitivity of 82.6% and a specificity of 87.8%. The presence of atelectasis was confirmed by CT scans in all patients (30/30) with positive and in 5 patients (17%) with negative Air-Test results. Based on the Air-Test, postoperative atelectasis was present in 36% of the patients (62 out of 170). Conclusion The Air-Test may represent an accurate, simple, inexpensive and non-invasive method for diagnosing postoperative atelectasis.

    • CONTEXTRecruitment manoeuvres aim at reversing atelectasis during general anaesthesia but are associated with potential risks such as barotrauma.OBJECTIVETo explore the range of pressures that can be used safely to fully recruit the lung without causing barotrauma in an ex-vivo healthy lung rabbit model.DESIGNProspective, randomised, experimental study.SETTINGExperimental Unit, La Paz University Hospital, Madrid, Spain.ANIMALSFourteen healthy young New Zealand rabbits of 12 weeks of age.INTERVENTIONSAnimals were euthanised, the thorax and both pleural spaces were opened and the animals were allocated randomly into one of two groups submitted to two distinct recruitment manoeuvre strategies: PEEP-20 group, in which positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was increased in 5-cmH(2)O steps from 0 to 20cmH(2)O and PEEP-50 group, in which PEEP was increased in 5-cmH(2)O steps from 0 to 50cmH(2)O. In both groups, a driving pressure of 15cmH(2)O was maintained until maximal PEEP and its corresponding maximal inspiratory pressures (MIPs) were reached. From there on, driving pressure was progressively increased in 5-cmH(2)O steps until detectable barotrauma occurred. Two macroscopic conditions were defined: anatomically open lung and barotrauma.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESWe measured open lung and barotrauma MIP, PEEP and driving pressure obtained using each strategy. A pressure safety range, defined as the difference between barotrauma MIP and anatomically open lung MIP, was also determined in both groups.RESULTSOpen lung MIP was similar in both groups: 23.63.8 and 23.3 +/- 4.1cmH(2)O in the PEEP-50 and PEEP-20 groups, respectively (P=0.91). However, barotrauma MIP in the PEEP-50 group was higher (65.7 +/- 3.4cmH(2)O) than in the PEEP-20 group (56.7 +/- 5 0.2cmH(2)O) (P=0.003) resulting in a safety range of pressures of respectively 33.3 +/- 8.7 and 42.1 +/- 3.9cmH(2)O (P=0.035).CONCLUSIONIn this ex-vivo model, we found a substantial difference between recruitment and barotrauma pressures using both recruitment strategies. However, a higher margin of safety was obtained when a higher PEEP and lower driving pressure strategy was used for recruiting the lung.

    • BACKGROUND: Anesthesia workstations with pressure support ventilation (PSV) are available, but there are few studies published on how to program flow-triggered PSV using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) under general anesthesia in pediatric patients. METHODS: We studied 60 ASA I and II patients, from 2 mo to 14 yr, scheduled for ambulatory surgery under combined general and regional anesthesia with a LMA. Patients were classified according to their body weight as follows: Group A ≤10 kg, Group B 11–20 kg, and Group C >20 kg. All were ventilated in PSV using the following settings: positive end-expiratory pressure of 4 cm H2O, the minimum flow-trigger without provoking auto-triggering, and the minimum level of pressure support to obtain 10 mL/kg of tidal volume. RESULTS: The flow-trigger most frequently used in our study was 0.4 L/min, ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 L/min. We found no correlation between the flow-trigger setting and the patient’s age, weight, compliance, resistance, or respiratory rate. There was a good correlation between the level of pressure support (Group A = 15 cm H2O, Group B = 10 cm H2O and Group C = 9 cm H2O) and age (P < 0.001), weight (P < 0.001), dynamic compliance (P < 0.001), and airway resistances (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: PSV with a Proseal™ LMA in outpatient pediatric anesthesia can be programmed simply using the common clinical noninvasive variables studied. However, more studies are needed to estimate the level of pressure support that may be required in other clinical situations (respiratory pathology, endotracheal tubes, or other types of surgeries) or with other anesthesia workstations. IMPLICATIONS: This study evaluates the ability to administer positive pressure support ventilation through a laryngeal mask airway to anesthetized, spontaneously breathing children.

    • Purpose: To analyze the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on Bohr's dead space (VDBohr/VT) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Material and methods: Fourteen ARDS patients under lung protective ventilation settingswere submitted to 4 different levels of PEEP (0, 6, 10, 16 cmH(2)O). Respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics and volumetric capnography were recorded at each protocol step.Results: Two groups of patients responded differently to PEEP when comparing baseline with 16-PEEP: those in which driving pressure increased > 15% (Delta P.(15%), n = 7, p = .016) and those in which the change was <= 15% (Delta P-<= 15%, n = 7, p = .700). VDBohr/VT was higher in Delta P-<= 15% than in Delta P-<= 15% patients at baseline ventilation [0.58 (0.49-0.60) vs 0.46 (0.43-0.46) p = .018], at 0-PEEP [0.50 (0.47-0.54) vs 0.41 (0.40-0.43) p = .012], at 6-PEEP [0.55 (0.49-0.57) vs 0.44 (0.42-0.45) p = .008], at 10-PEEP [0.59 (0.51-0.59) vs 0.45 (0.44-0.46) p = .006] and at 16-PEEP [0.61 (0.56-0.65) vs 0.47 (0.45-0.48) p =. 001]. We found a good correlation between Delta P and VDBohr/VT only in the Delta P.(15%) group (r = 0.74, p < .001).Conclusions: Increases in PEEP result in higher VDBohr/VT only when associated with an increase in driving pressure.

    • Background Quantification of intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi) has important implications for patients subjected to invasive mechanical ventilation. A new non-invasive breath-by-breath method (etCO(2)D) for determination of PEEPi is evaluated. MethodsIn 12 mechanically ventilated pigs, dynamic hyperinflation was induced by interposing a resistance in the endotracheal tube. Airway pressure, flow, and exhaled CO2 were measured at the airway opening. Combining different I:E ratios, respiratory rates, and tidal volumes, 52 different levels of PEEPi (range 1.8-11.7cmH(2)O; mean 8.450.32cmH(2)O) were studied. The etCO(2)D is based on the detection of the end-tidal dilution of the capnogram. This is measured at the airway opening by means of a CO2 sensor in which a 2-mm leak is added to the sensing chamber. This allows to detect a capnogram dilution with fresh air when the pressure coming from the ventilator exceeds the PEEPi. This method was compared with the occlusion method. Results The etCO(2)D method detected PEEPi step changes of 0.2cmH(2)O. Reference and etCO(2)D PEEPi presented a good correlation (R-2 0.80, P<0.0001) and good agreement, bias -0.26, and limits of agreement +/- 1.96 SD (2.23, -2.74) (P<0.0001). Conclusions The etCO(2)D method is a promising accurate simple way of continuously measure and monitor PEEPi. Its clinical validity needs, however, to be confirmed in clinical studies and in conditions with heterogeneous lung diseases.

  • A modified breathing pattern improves the performance of a continuous capnodynamic method for estimation of effective pulmonary blood flow
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Journal of clinical monitoring and computing. - : SPRINGER HEIDELBERG. - 1387-1307 .- 1573-2614. ; 31:4, s. 717-725

    • In a previous study a new capnodynamic method for estimation of effective pulmonary blood flow (COEPBF) presented a good trending ability but a poor agreement with a reference cardiac output (CO) measurement at high levels of PEEP. In this study we aimed at evaluating the agreement and trending ability of a modified COEPBF algorithm that uses expiratory instead of inspiratory holds during CO and ventilatory manipulations. COEPBF was evaluated in a porcine model at different PEEP levels, tidal volumes and CO manipulations (N = 8). An ultrasonic flow probe placed around the pulmonary trunk was used for CO measurement. We tested the COEPBF algorithm using a modified breathing pattern that introduces cyclic end-expiratory time pauses. The subsequent changes in mean alveolar fraction of carbon dioxide were integrated into a capnodynamic equation and effective pulmonary blood flow, i.e. non-shunted CO, was calculated continuously breath by breath. The overall agreement between COEPBF and the reference method during all interventions was good with bias (limits of agreement) 0.05 (-1.1 to 1.2) L/min and percentage error of 36 %. The overall trending ability as assessed by the four-quadrant and the polar plot methodology was high with a concordance rate of 93 and 94 % respectively. The mean polar angle was 0.4 (95 % CI -3.7 to 4.5)A degrees. A ventilatory pattern recurrently introducing end-expiratory pauses maintains a good agreement between COEPBF and the reference CO method while preserving its trending ability during CO and ventilatory alterations.

  • THAM reduces CO2-associated increase in pulmonary vascular resistance : an experimental study in lung-injured piglets
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Critical Care. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1364-8535 .- 1466-609X. ; 19:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • INTRODUCTION: Low tidal volume (VT) ventilation is recommended in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This may increase arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2), decrease pH, and augment pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). We hypothesized that Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (THAM), a pure proton acceptor, would dampen these effects, preventing the increase in PVR.METHODS: A one-hit injury ARDS model was established by repeated lung lavages in 18 piglets. After ventilation with VT of 6 ml/kg to maintain normocapnia, VT was reduced to 3 ml/kg to induce hypercapnia. Six animals received THAM for 1 h, six for 3 h, and six serving as controls received no THAM. In all, the experiment continued for 6 h. The THAM dosage was calculated to normalize pH and exhibit a lasting effect. Gas exchange, pulmonary, and systemic hemodynamics were tracked. Inflammatory markers were obtained at the end of the experiment.RESULTS: In the controls, the decrease in VT from 6 to 3 ml/kg increased PaCO2 from 6.0±0.5 to 13.8±1.5 kPa and lowered pH from 7.40±0.01 to 7.12±0.06, whereas base excess (BE) remained stable at 2.7±2.3 mEq/L to 3.4±3.2 mEq/L. In the THAM groups, PaCO2 decreased and pH increased above 7.4 during the infusions. After discontinuing the infusions, PaCO2 increased above the corresponding level of the controls (15.2±1.7 kPa and 22.6±3.3 kPa for 1-h and 3-h THAM infusions, respectively). Despite a marked increase in BE (13.8±3.5 and 31.2±2.2 for 1-h and 3-h THAM infusions, respectively), pH became similar to the corresponding levels of the controls. PVR was lower in the THAM groups (at 6 h, 329±77 dyn∙s/m(5) and 255±43 dyn∙s/m(5) in the 1-h and 3-h groups, respectively, compared with 450±141 dyn∙s/m(5) in the controls), as were pulmonary arterial pressures.CONCLUSIONS: The pH in the THAM groups was similar to pH in the controls at 6 h, despite a marked increase in BE. This was due to an increase in PaCO2 after stopping the THAM infusion, possibly by intracellular release of CO2. Pulmonary arterial pressure and PVR were lower in the THAM-treated animals, indicating that THAM may be an option to reduce PVR in acute hypercapnia.

  • Standardized Unloading of Respiratory Muscles during Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist : A Randomized Crossover Pilot Study
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Anesthesiology. - 0003-3022 .- 1528-1175. ; 129:4, s. 769-777
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Currently, there is no standardized method to set the support level in neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA). The primary aim was to explore the feasibility of titrating NAVA to specific diaphragm unloading targets, based on the neuroventilatory efficiency (NVE) index. The secondary outcome was to investigate the effect of reduced diaphragm unloading on distribution of lung ventilation. Methods: This is a randomized crossover study between pressure support and NAVA at different diaphragm unloading at a single neurointensive care unit. Ten adult patients who had started weaning from mechanical ventilation completed the study. Two unloading targets were used: 40 and 60%. The NVE index was used to guide the titration of the assist in NAVA. Electrical impedance tomography data, blood-gas samples, and ventilatory parameters were collected. Results: The median unloading was 43% (interquartile range 32, 60) for 40% unloading target and 60% (interquartile range 47, 69) for 60% unloading target. NAVA with 40% unloading led to more dorsal ventilation (center of ventilation at 55% [51, 56]) compared with pressure support (52% [49, 56]; P = 0.019). No differences were found in oxygenation, CO2, and respiratory parameters. The electrical activity of the diaphragm was higher during NAVA with 40% unloading than in pressure support. Conclusions: In this pilot study, NAVA could be titrated to different diaphragm unloading levels based on the NVE index. Less unloading was associated with greater diaphragm activity and improved ventilation of the dependent lung regions.

  • Veno-venous extracorporeal CO2 removal for the treatment of severe respiratory acidosis : pathophysiological and technical considerations
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Critical Care. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1364-8535 .- 1466-609X. ; 18:3, s. R124-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • INTRODUCTION:While non-invasive ventilation aimed at avoiding intubation has become the modality of choice to treat mild to moderate acute respiratory acidosis, many severely acidotic patients (pH <7.20) still need intubation. Extracorporeal veno-venous CO2 removal (ECCO2R) could prove to be an alternative. The present animal study tested in a systematic fashion technical requirements for successful ECCO2R in terms of cannula size, blood and sweep gas flow.METHODS:ECCO2R with a 0.98 m2 surface oxygenator was performed in six acidotic (pH <7.20) pigs using either a 14.5 French (Fr) or a 19Fr catheter, with sweep gas flow rates of 8 and 16 L/minute, respectively. During each experiment the blood flow was incrementally increased to a maximum of 400 mL/minute (14.5Fr catheter) and 1000 mL/minute (19Fr catheter).RESULTS:Amelioration of severe respiratory acidosis was only feasible when blood flow rates of 750 to 1000 mL/minute (19Fr catheter) were used. Maximal CO2-elimination was 146.1 ± 22.6 mL/minute, while pH increased from 7.13 ± 0.08 to 7.41 ± 0.07 (blood flow of 1000 mL/minute; sweep gas flow 16 L/minute). Accordingly, a sweep gas flow of 8 L/minute resulted in a maximal CO2-elimination rate of 138.0 ± 16.9 mL/minute. The 14.5Fr catheter allowed a maximum CO2 elimination rate of 77.9 mL/minute, which did not result in the normalization of pH.CONCLUSIONS:Veno-venous ECCO2R may serve as a treatment option for severe respiratory acidosis. In this porcine model, ECCO2R was most effective when using blood flow rates ranging between 750 and 1000 mL/minute, while an increase in sweep gas flow from 8 to 16 L/minute had less impact on ECCO2R in this setting.

    • BACKGROUND Atelectasis after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can affect right ventricular (RV) performance by increasing its outflow impedance. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether a lung recruitment manoeuvre improves RV function by re-aerating the lung after CPB. DESIGN Randomised controlled study. SETTING Single-institution study, community hospital, Cordoba, Argentina. PATIENTS Forty anaesthetised patients with New York Heart Association class I or II, preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction at least 50% and Euroscore 6 or less scheduled for cardiac surgery with CPB. INTERVENTIONS Patients were assigned to receive either standard ventilation with 6 cmH(2)O of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP; group C, n = 20) or standard ventilation with a recruitment manoeuvre and 10 cmH(2)O of PEEP after surgery (group RM, n = 20). RV function, left ventricular cardiac index (CI) and lung aeration were assessed by transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) before, at the end of surgery and 30 min after surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES RV function parameters and atelectasis assessed by TOE. RESULTS Haemodynamic data and atelectasis were similar between groups before surgery. At the end of surgery, CI had decreased from 2.9 +/- 1.1 to 2.6 +/- 0.9 l min(-1) m(-2) in group C (P = 0.24) and from 2.8 +/- 1.0 to 2.6 +/- 0.8 l min(-1) m +/- 2 in group RM (P = 0.32). TOE-derived RV function parameters confirmed a mild decrease in RV performance in 95% of patients, without significant differences between groups (multivariate Hotelling t-test P = 0.16). Atelectasis was present in 18 patients in group C and 19 patients in group RM (P = 0.88). After surgery, CI decreased further from 2.6 to 2.4 l min(-)1 m(-2) in group C (P = 0.17) but increased from 2.6 to 3.7 l min(-1) m(-2) in group RM (P<0.001). TOE-derived RV function parameters improved only in group RM (Hotelling t-test P<0.001). Atelectasis was present in 100% of patients in group C but only in 10% of those in group RM (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Atelectasis after CPB impairs RV function but this can be resolved by lung recruitment using 10 cm H2O of PEEP.

    • There is an unmet need for noninvasive, specific and quantitative imaging of inherent inflammatory activity. Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) translocates to the luminal surface of endothelial cells upon inflammatory challenge. We hypothesized that in a porcine model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), positron emission tomography (PET) with sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 9 (Siglec-9) based imaging agent targeting VAP-1 would allow quantification of regional pulmonary inflammation. ARDS was induced by lung lavages and injurious mechanical ventilation. Hemodynamics, respiratory system compliance (Crs) and blood gases were monitored. Dynamic examination using [(15)O]water PET-CT (10 min) was followed by dynamic (90 min) and whole-body examination using VAP-1 targeting (68)Ga-labeled 1,4,7,10-tetraaza cyclododecane-1,4,7-tris-acetic acid-10-ethylene glycol-conjugated Siglec-9 motif peptide ([(68)Ga]Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9). The animals received an anti-VAP-1 antibody for post-mortem immunohistochemistry assay of VAP-1 receptors. Tissue samples were collected post-mortem for the radioactivity uptake, histology and immunohistochemistry assessment. Marked reduction of oxygenation and Crs, and higher degree of inflammation were observed in ARDS animals. [(68)Ga]Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9 PET showed significant uptake in lungs, kidneys and urinary bladder. Normalization of the net uptake rate (Ki) for the tissue perfusion resulted in 4-fold higher uptake rate of [(68)Ga]Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9 in the ARDS lungs. Immunohistochemistry showed positive VAP-1 signal in the injured lungs. Detection of pulmonary inflammation associated with a porcine model of ARDS was possible with [(68)Ga]Ga-DOTA-Siglec-9 PET when using kinetic modeling and normalization for tissue perfusion.

    • BACKGROUND: The independent impact of respiratory rate on ventilator-induced lung injury has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two clinically relevant respiratory rates on early ventilator-induced lung injury evolution and lung edema during the protective ARDSNet strategy. We hypothesized that the use of a higher respiratory rate during a protective ARDSNet ventilation strategy increases lung inflammation and, in addition, lung edema associated to strain-induced activation of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) in the lung epithelium.METHODS: Twelve healthy piglets were submitted to a two-hit lung injury model and randomized into two groups: LRR (20 breaths/min) and HRR (40 breaths/min). They were mechanically ventilated during 6 h according to the ARDSNet strategy. We assessed respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, and extravascular lung water (EVLW). At the end of the experiment, the lungs were excised and wet/dry ratio, TGF-β pathway markers, regional histology, and cytokines were evaluated.RESULTS: No differences in oxygenation, PaCO2 levels, systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures were observed during the study. Respiratory system compliance and mean airway pressure were lower in LRR group. A decrease in EVLW over time occurred only in the LRR group (P < 0.05). Wet/dry ratio was higher in the HRR group (P < 0.05), as well as TGF-β pathway activation. Histological findings suggestive of inflammation and inflammatory tissue cytokines were higher in LRR.CONCLUSION: HRR was associated with more pulmonary edema and higher activation of the TGF-β pathway. In contrast with our hypothesis, HRR was associated with less lung inflammation.

    • BACKGROUND: We recently reported that a high respiratory rate was associated with less inflammation than a low respiratory rate, but caused more pulmonary edema in a model of ARDS when an ARDSNet ventilatory strategy was used. We hypothesized that an open lung approach (OLA) strategy would neutralize the independent effects of respiratory rate on lung inflammation and edema. This hypothesis was tested in an ARDS model using two clinically relevant respiratory rates during OLA strategy.METHODS: Twelve piglets were subjected to an experimental model of ARDS and randomized into two groups: LRR (20 breaths/min) and HRR (40 breaths/min). They were mechanically ventilated for 6 h according to an OLA strategy. We assessed respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, and extravascular lung water (EVLW). At the end of the experiment, wet/dry ratio, regional histology, and cytokines were evaluated.RESULTS: After the ARDS model was established, Cdyn,rs decreased from 21 ± 3.3 to 9.0 ± 1.8 ml/cmH2 O (P < 0.0001). After the lung recruitment maneuver, Cdyn,rs increased to the pre-injury value. During OLA ventilation, no differences in respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, or EVLW were observed between groups. Wet/dry ratio and histological scores were not different between groups. Cytokine quantification was similar and showed a homogeneous distribution throughout the lung in both groups.CONCLUSION: Contrary to previous findings with the ARDSNet strategy, respiratory rate did not influence lung inflammatory response or pulmonary edema during OLA ventilation in experimental ARDS. This indicates that changing the respiratory rate when OLA ventilation is used will not exacerbate lung injury.

  • Effects of hydroxyethyl starch administration on renal function in critically ill patients
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: British Journal of Anaesthesia. - : Elsevier BV. - 0007-0912 .- 1471-6771. ; 98:2, s. 216-224

    • BACKGROUND: The influence of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions on renal function is controversial. We investigated the effect of HES administration on renal function in critically ill patients enrolled in a large multicentre observational European study. METHODS: All adult patients admitted to the 198 participating intensive care units (ICUs) during a 15-day period were enrolled. Prospectively collected data included daily fluid administration, urine output, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, serum creatinine levels, and the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) during the ICU stay. RESULTS: Of 3147 patients, 1075 (34%) received HES. Patients who received HES were older [mean (SD): 62 (SD 17) vs 60 (18) years, P = 0.022], more likely to be surgical admissions, had a higher incidence of haematological malignancy and heart failure, higher SAPS II [40.0 (17.0) vs 34.7 (16.9), P < 0.001] and SOFA [6.2 (3.7) vs 5.0 (3.9), P < 0.001] scores, and less likely to be receiving RRT (2 vs 4%, P < 0.001) than those who did not receive HES. The renal SOFA score increased significantly over the ICU stay independent of the type of fluid administered. Although more patients who received HES needed RRT than non-HES patients (11 vs 9%, P = 0.006), HES administration was not associated with an increased risk for subsequent RRT in a multivariable analysis [odds ratio (OR): 0.417, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.05-3.27, P = 0.406]. Sepsis (OR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.37-3.02, P < 0.001), cardiovascular failure (OR: 6.88, 95% CI: 4.49-10.56, P < 0.001), haematological cancer (OR: 2.83, 95% CI: 1.28-6.25, P = 0.01), and baseline renal SOFA scores > 1 (P < 0.01 for renal SOFA 2, 3, and 4 with renal SOFA = 0 as a reference) were all associated with a higher need for RRT. CONCLUSIONS: In this observational study, haematological cancer, the presence of sepsis, cardiovascular failure, and baseline renal function as assessed by the SOFA score were independent risk factors for the subsequent need for RRT in the ICU. The administration of HES had no influence on renal function or the need for RRT in the ICU.

    • RationaleEnd-expiratory lung volume (EELV) is reduced in mechanically ventilated patients, especially in pathologic conditions. The resulting heterogeneous distribution of ventilation increases the risk for ventilation induced lung injury. Clinical measurement of EELV however, remains difficult.ObjectiveValidation of a novel continuous capnodynamic method based on expired carbon dioxide (CO2) kinetics for measuring EELV in mechanically ventilated critically-ill patients.MethodsProspective study of mechanically ventilated patients scheduled for a diagnostic computed tomography exploration. Comparisons were made between absolute and corrected EELVCO2 values, the latter accounting for the amount of CO2 dissolved in lung tissue, with the reference EELV measured by computed tomography (EELVCT). Uncorrected and corrected EELVCO2 was compared with total CT volume (density compartments between − 1000 and 0 Hounsfield units (HU) and functional CT volume, including density compartments of − 1000 to − 200HU eliminating regions of increased shunt. We used comparative statistics including correlations and measurement of accuracy and precision by the Bland Altman method.Measurements and main resultsOf the 46 patients included in the final analysis, 25 had a diagnosis of ARDS (24 of which COVID-19). Both EELVCT and EELVCO2 were significantly reduced (39 and 40% respectively) when compared with theoretical values of functional residual capacity (p < 0.0001). Uncorrected EELVCO2 tended to overestimate EELVCT with a correlation r2 0.58; Bias − 285 and limits of agreement (LoA) (+ 513 to − 1083; 95% CI) ml. Agreement improved for the corrected EELVCO2 to a Bias of − 23 and LoA of (+ 763 to − 716; 95% CI) ml. The best agreement of the method was obtained by comparison of corrected EELVCO2 with functional EELVCT with a r2 of 0.59; Bias − 2.75 (+ 755 to − 761; 95% CI) ml. We did not observe major differences in the performance of the method between ARDS (most of them COVID related) and non-ARDS patients.ConclusionIn this first validation in critically ill patients, the capnodynamic method provided good estimates of both total and functional EELV. Bias improved after correcting EELVCO2 for extra-alveolar CO2 content when compared with CT estimated volume. If confirmed in further validations EELVCO2 may become an attractive monitoring option for continuously monitor EELV in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients.Trial registration: clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04045262).

    • BackgroundWe have evaluated a new method for continuous monitoring of effective pulmonary blood flow (COEPBF), i.e. cardiac output (CO) minus intra-pulmonary shunt, during mechanical ventilation. The method has shown good trending ability during severe hemodynamic challenges in a porcine model with intact lungs. In this study, we further evaluate the COEPBF method in a model of lung lavage. MethodsCO(EPBF) was compared to a reference method for CO during hemodynamic and PEEP alterations, 5 and 12cmH(2)O, before and after repeated lung lavages in 10 anaesthetised pigs. Bland-Altman, four-quadrant and polar plot methodologies were used to determine agreement and trending ability. ResultsAfter lung lavage at PEEP 5cmH(2)O, the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure related to inspired fraction of oxygen significantly decreased. The mean difference (limits of agreement) between methods changed from 0.2 (-1.1 to 1.5) to -0.9 (-3.6 to 1.9)l/min and percentage error increased from 34% to 70%. Trending ability remained good according to the four-quadrant plot (concordance rate 94%), whereas mean angular bias increased from 4 degrees to -16 degrees when using the polar plot methodology. ConclusionBoth agreement and precision of COEPBF were impaired in relation to CO when the shunt fraction was increased after lavage at PEEP 5cmH(2)O. However, trending ability remained good as assessed by the four-quadrant plot, whereas the mean polar angle, calculated by the polar plot, was wide.

    • A capnodynamic calculation of effective pulmonary blood flow includes a lung volume factor (ELV) that has to be estimated to solve the mathematical equation. In previous studies ELV correlated to reference methods for functional residual capacity (FRC). The aim was to evaluate the stability of ELV during significant manipulations of cardiac output (CO) and assess the agreement for absolute values and trending capacity during PEEP changes at different lung conditions. Ten pigs were included. Alterations of alveolar carbon dioxide were induced by cyclic reoccurring inspiratory holds. The Sulphur hexafluoride technique for FRC measurements was used as reference. Cardiac output was altered by preload reduction and inotropic stimulation at PEEP 5 and 12 cmH(2)O both in normal lung conditions and after repeated lung lavages. ELV at baseline PEEP 5 was [mean (SD)], 810 (163) mL and decreased to 400 (42) mL after lavage. ELV was not significantly affected by CO alterations within the same PEEP level. In relation to FRC the overall bias (limits of agreement) was -35 (-271 to 201) mL, and percentage error 36 %. A small difference between ELV and FRC was seen at PEEP 5 cmH(2)O before lavage and at PEEP 12 cmH(2)O after lavage. ELV trending capability between PEEP steps, showed a concordance rate of 100 %. ELV was closely related to FRC and remained stable during significant changes in CO. The trending capability was excellent both before and after surfactant depletion.

  • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome deteriorates pulmonary vascular efficiency and increases cardiac energy wasting in a porcine model.
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Background: Right ventricle failure worsen outcomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, the pathophysiology of right ventricle failure and vascular dysfunction in ARDS is not completely understood. In this study we aim to evaluate the effects of early ARDS on pulmonary vascular efficiency for transmission of flow and pressure in an experimental animal model.  Methods: ARDS was induced in 10 pigs (32.5±4.3 kg) combining saline lung-lavages with injurious mechanical ventilation. Pressure and flow sensors were placed at the main pulmonary artery for pulmonary vascular function evaluation, including arterial load parameters, cardiac power and energy transmission ratio.Results: Compared to baseline healthy conditions, ARDS increased pulmonary vascular resistance (199±62 versus 524±154 dyn.s.cm-5, p <0.001), effective arterial elastance (0.65±0.26 versus 1.13±0.36 mmHg/ml, p <0.001) and total hydraulic power (195±60 to 266±87 mW, p =0.015), decreased pulmonary arterial compliance (from 2.34±0.86 to 1.00±0.25 ml/mmHg, p <0.001) and energy transmission ratio (68±15 versus 55±14%, p = 0.014), whereas oscillatory power did not change (17±6 versus 16±6%, p = 0.359).Conclusions: In this experimental ARDS model, an increase in pulmonary arterial load was associated with a higher cardiac power and a decrease in the energy transmission ratio. These results suggest that right ventricle energy consumption is increased and part of this energy is wasted in pulmonary circulation worsening pulmonary vascular efficiency in the early course of ARDS. These findings may help to explain primary mechanisms leading to right ventricle dysfunction in ARDS.

  • ARDS Decreases Pulmonary Artery Compliance in a Porcine Model

    • Rationale: Importance of pulmonary hemodynamic disarrangements in ARDS has been remarked recently. In this study we describe the effect of ARDS on pulmonary artery compliance and the related effect on pulmonary hemodynamics. In this way we highlight the importance of pulsatile hemodynamic evaluation beyond the classic evaluation based only on resistance.Methods: 17 anesthetized and muscle relaxed pigs were monitored with a transonic flow probe and high fidelity micro-tip pressure sensor placed in the pulmonary artery through a small thoracotomy. An experimental model of ARDS was induced in these animals by means of lung saline lavages followed by two hours of injurious mechanical ventilation. Pulmonary artery compliance was measured as the stroke volume divided by the pulse pressure. Waveform analysis of pulmonary artery pressure and flow signal was applied to calculate the following variables: first harmonic impedance magnitude (inversely related with arterial compliance), characteristic impedance, wave reflections (which are affected by arterial compliance) magnitude and peak and foot arrival time (normalized to cardiac period). These variables are related to the pulmonary vessels efficiency to transmit pressure and flow produced by the right ventricle. In addition, pulmonary vascular resistance was evaluated as usual. Variables were evaluated before (Baseline) and after (ARDS) development of the model.Results: Comparing with Baseline, ARDS provoked a decrease in pulmonary artery compliance (3.03±0.99 vs 1.53±0.41 ml/mmHg, p<0.001), and in the wave reflections arrival time of foot (0.18±0.09 vs 0.11±0.05, p<0.001) and peak (0.50±0.12 vs 0.39±0.10, p< 0.001) and an increase in the impedance magnitude of the first harmonic (80±29 vs 145±38 dyn.s.cm-5, p<0.001) and in the pulmonary vascular resistance (230±79 vs 504±129 dyn.s.cm-5, p<0.001). Characteristic impedance and wave reflections magnitude showed no differences.Conclusions: In this porcine model, ARDS provoked a decrease in pulmonary artery compliance. This effect was followed by a deterioration of pulmonary vascular efficiency. Our findings can be relevant for the pathophysiology of right ventricle failure during ARDS.

  • Cyclic Changes of Pulmonary Vascular Mechanics During mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome. A porcine experimental model.
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Objective: To test the hypothesis that acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) worsens pulmonary vascular mechanics during the respiratory cycle under mechanical ventilation in an animal model.  Design: Experimental study.Setting: Animal research laboratory.Subjects: 6 pigs, 31.7 ± 5.4 kg.Interventions: ARDS was induced by combining saline lung-lavages with injurious mechanical ventilation. Pressure and flow sensors were placed at the main pulmonary artery (PA) and signals were collected simultaneously with airway pressure and flow. Pulmonary vascular mechanics and cardiac function parameters were calculates beat by beat during 2-3 minutes. We designed a novel method to quantify how the calculated variables behave during the whole respiratory cycle, i.e., during expiration and during inspiration. Results are expressed as the mean value during the corresponding phase of the respiratory cycle.Measurements and Main Results: During the whole respiratory cycle and at expiration ARDS decreased SV and arterial compliance while increased mean and pulse PA pressure, effective arterial elastance and Dp/Dtmax when compared to baseline. At baseline and after ARDS, inspiration in positive pressure ventilation caused a decrease in stroke volume (-3±1ml, p<0.001 and -3±1ml, p<0.001), pulmonary mean (-0.5±0.3, p=0.007 and -0.7±0.3mmHg, p=0.002) and pulse pressure (-0.8±0.4, p=0.003 and -1,5±0.7mmHg, p=0.003) and compliance (-0.07±0.04 and -0.04±0.00ml/mmHg, p<0.001) and an increase in resistance (34±13, p=0.001 and 50±32dyn.s.cm-5, p=0.012) and in effective arterial elastance (0.04±0.01, p=0.001 and 0.08±0.04mmHg/ml, p=0.003). ARDS produced a more pronounced inspiratory increase in effective arterial elastance (p=0.041) when compared to baseline. Positive pressure ventilation caused a decrease in Dp/Dtmax at baseline (-15±9mmHg/s, p=0.010) but this was not significant during ARDS (-27±28mmHg/s, p=0.068).  Conclusions: We found in this experimental model that MV induced tidal increase in arterial load and that this effect was higher during ARDS. This finding if transferred to patients, might partly explain the high rate of right heart failure clinically in ARDS.

  • Effects on Pulmonary Vascular Mechanics of Two Different Lung-Protective Ventilation Strategies in an Experimental Model of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
  • 2017

    • OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of two lung-protective ventilation strategies on pulmonary vascular mechanics in early acute respiratory distress syndrome.DESIGN: Experimental study.SETTING: University animal research laboratory.SUBJECTS: Twelve pigs (30.8 ± 2.5 kg).INTERVENTIONS: Acute respiratory distress syndrome was induced by repeated lung lavages and injurious mechanical ventilation. Thereafter, animals were randomized to 4 hours ventilation according to the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network protocol or to an open lung approach strategy. Pressure and flow sensors placed at the pulmonary artery trunk allowed continuous assessment of pulmonary artery resistance, effective elastance, compliance, and reflected pressure waves. Respiratory mechanics and gas exchange data were collected.MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Acute respiratory distress syndrome led to pulmonary vascular mechanics deterioration. Four hours after randomization, pulmonary vascular mechanics was similar in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network and open lung approach: resistance (578 ± 252 vs 626 ± 153 dyn.s/cm; p = 0.714), effective elastance, (0.63 ± 0.22 vs 0.58 ± 0.17 mm Hg/mL; p = 0.710), compliance (1.19 ± 0.8 vs 1.50 ± 0.27 mL/mm Hg; p = 0.437), and reflection index (0.36 ± 0.04 vs 0.34 ± 0.09; p = 0.680). Open lung approach as compared to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network was associated with improved dynamic respiratory compliance (17.3 ± 2.6 vs 10.5 ± 1.3 mL/cm H2O; p < 0.001), driving pressure (9.6 ± 1.3 vs 19.3 ± 2.7 cm H2O; p < 0.001), and venous admixture (0.05 ± 0.01 vs 0.22 ± 0.03, p < 0.001) and lower mean pulmonary artery pressure (26 ± 3 vs 34 ± 7 mm Hg; p = 0.045) despite of using a higher positive end-expiratory pressure (17.4 ± 0.7 vs 9.5 ± 2.4 cm H2O; p < 0.001). Cardiac index, however, was lower in open lung approach (1.42 ± 0.16 vs 2.27 ± 0.48 L/min; p = 0.005).CONCLUSIONS: In this experimental model, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network and open lung approach affected pulmonary vascular mechanics similarly. The use of higher positive end-expiratory pressures in the open lung approach strategy did not worsen pulmonary vascular mechanics, improved lung mechanics, and gas exchange but at the expense of a lower cardiac index.
