RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the evidence-based practice of prevention and care of nasal and facial pressure injuries in patients with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) using the knowledge to action framework (KTA), and to explore its effectiveness. METHODS: Using an evidence-based nursing approach, an evidence-based practice group was established to formulate a clinical problem, the literature from domestic and international databases were researched for relevant evidence, the evidence was introduced into clinical scenarios, an evidence-based practice plan was developed, and a strategy for applying the best evidence was constructed by conducting a baseline review of healthcare professionals and patients with NPPV, analyzing barriers and promoting factors, and making changes in clinical practice at the organizational level, the practitioner level, and the patient level. Purposive sampling method was used to select the healthcare staff of the cardiac surgical intensive care unit (CSICU) of the Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, as well as the patients with NPPV admitted from October 1 to November 15, 2023 (pre-evidence-based practice) and November 16 to December 31 (post-evidence-based practice), as the subjects of the study. Through questionnaire analysis, the incidence of nasal and facial pressure injury of NPPV patients, the implementation rate of review indicators of medical staff, the score of the knowledge, belief and conduct of medical staff, and the compliance and comfort of patients before and after evidence-based practice were compared. RESULTS: A total of 52 medical staff were included, aged (28.54±6.50) years old, with 3.00 (1.00, 12.75) years of working experience; 2 doctoral degree holders (3.85%), 4 master degree holders (7.69%), 46 bachelor degree holders (88.46%); 2 with senior title (3.85%), 17 with intermediate title (32.69%), and 33 junior titles (63.46%). Fifty patient questionnaires were collected before and after evidence-based nursing practice; the differences between before and after evidence-based practice in terms of gender, age, body weight, duration of ventilator usage, 24-hour bleeding and total bleeding were not statistically significant and were comparable. Compared with the pre-evidence-based practice, after carrying out the corresponding evidence-based nursing practice, the incidence of nasal and facial pressure injuries of NPPV patients decreased from 16.00% (8/50) to 4.00% (2/50, P < 0.05), the total implementation rate of review indicators of medical staff increased from 79.73% to 94.08% (P < 0.01), and the total scores of knowledge, belief and conduct were significantly improved (141.96±13.88 vs. 114.65±19.72, P < 0.05), and compliance and comfort of patients were significantly improved (compliance score: 4.60±0.99 vs. 5.82±1.42, comfort score: 4.10±1.63 vs. 6.92±2.33, both P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The application of an evidence-based nursing approach to obtain evidence related to the prevention of nasal and facial pressure injuries in patients with NPPV can be used to guide clinical practice, significantly reducing the incidence of nasal and facial pressure injuries in such patients, improving the implementation rate of review indicators and the knowledge, belief, and conduct scores of medical staff, and enhancing compliance and comfort of NPPV patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Postoperative hypoxemia and pulmonary complications remain a frequent event after on-pump cardiac surgery and mostly characterized by pulmonary atelectasis. Surfactant dysfunction or hyposecretion happens prior to atelectasis formation, and sigh represents the strongest stimulus for surfactant secretion. The role of sigh breaths added to conventional lung protective ventilation in reducing postoperative hypoxemia and pulmonary complications among cardiac surgery is unknown. METHODS: The perioperative sigh ventilation in cardiac surgery (E-SIGHT) trial is a single-center, two-arm, randomized controlled trial. In total, 192 patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross-clamp will be randomized into one of the two treatment arms. In the experimental group, besides conventional lung protective ventilation, sigh volumes producing plateau pressures of 35 cmH2O (or 40 cmH2O for patients with body mass index > 35 kg/m2) delivered once every 6 min from intubation to extubation. In the control group, conventional lung protective ventilation without preplanned recruitment maneuvers is used. Lung protective ventilation (LPV) consists of low tidal volumes (6-8 mL/kg of predicted body weight) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting according to low PEEP/FiO2 table for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The primary endpoint is time-weighted average SpO2/FiO2 ratio during the initial post-extubation hour. Main secondary endpoint is the severity of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) computed by postoperative day 7. DISCUSSION: The E-SIGHT trial will be the first randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of perioperative sigh ventilation on the postoperative outcomes after on-pump cardiac surgery. The trial will introduce and assess a novel perioperative ventilation approach to mitigate the risk of postoperative hypoxemia and PPCs in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Also provide the basis for a future larger trial aiming at verifying the impact of sigh ventilation on postoperative pulmonary complications. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06248320.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Exercise training is fundamental in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), but patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often struggle with exercise intolerance. Respiratory support during exercise in COPD patients may be a beneficial adjunct therapy. In this study, the effect of different respiratory support therapy during pulmonary rehabilitation exercise training in COPD patients was assessed through a network meta-analysis. METHODS: Five databases were searched to obtain randomized controlled trials involving different respiratory support therapies during PR exercise training in COPD patients. The Cochrane Handbook tool was employed to assess the risk bias of included studies. Network meta-analysis was performed using the STATA software. The study protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42023491139). RESULTS: A total of 35 studies involving 1321 patients and 6 different interventions were included. Network meta-analysis showed that noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is superior in improving exercise capacity (6-Minute Walk Test distance, peak work rate, endurance time), dyspnea, and physiological change (peak VO2, tidal volume, minute ventilation and lactate level) in stable COPD patients who were at GOLD stage III or IV during PR exercise training. The final surface under the cumulative ranking curve value indicated that NPPV therapy achieved the best assistive rehabilitation effect. CONCLUSIONS: The obtained results indicate that NPPV is most powerful in assisting exercise in severe COPD patients under stable condition. Researchers should focus more on the safety, feasibility, and personalization of interventions. Furthermore, there is a need for additional high-quality trials to assess the consistency of evidence across various respiratory support approaches. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42023491139).

RESUMEN

Mathematical models can be used to generate high-fidelity simulations of the cardiopulmonary system. Such models, when applied to real patients, can provide valuable insights into underlying physiological processes that are hard for clinicians to observe directly. In this work, we propose a novel modelling strategy capable of generating scenario-specific cardiopulmonary simulations to replicate the vital physiological signals clinicians use to determine the state of a patient. This model is composed of a tree-like pulmonary system that features a novel, non-linear alveoli opening strategy, based on the dynamics of balloon inflation, that interacts with the cardiovascular system via the thorax. A baseline simulation of the model is performed to measure the response of the system during spontaneous breathing which is subsequently compared to the same system under mechanical ventilation. To test the new lung opening mechanics and systematic recruitment of alveolar units, a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) test is performed and its results are then compared to simulations of a deep spontaneous breath. The system displays a marked decrease in tidal volume as PEEP increases, replicating a sigmoidal curve relationship between volume and pressure. At high PEEP, cardiovascular function is shown to be visibly impaired, in contrast to the deep breath test where normal function is maintained.

RESUMEN

The optimal strategy for positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration in the management of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients remains unclear. Current guidelines emphasize the importance of a careful risk-benefit assessment for PEEP titration in terms of cardiopulmonary function in these patients. Over the last few decades, the primary goal of PEEP usage has shifted from merely improving oxygenation to emphasizing lung protection, with a growing focus on the individual pattern of lung injury, lung and chest wall mechanics, and the hemodynamic consequences of PEEP. In moderate-to-severe ARDS patients, prone positioning (PP) is recommended as part of a lung protective ventilation strategy to reduce mortality. However, the physiologic changes in respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics during PP may require careful re-assessment of the ventilation strategy, including PEEP. For the most severe ARDS patients with refractory gas exchange impairment, where lung protective ventilation is not possible, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) facilitates gas exchange and allows for a "lung rest" strategy using "ultraprotective" ventilation. Consequently, the importance of lung recruitment to improve oxygenation and homogenize ventilation with adequate PEEP may differ in severe ARDS patients treated with V-V ECMO compared to those managed conservatively. This review discusses PEEP management in severe ARDS patients and the implications of management with PP or V-V ECMO with respect to respiratory mechanics and hemodynamic function.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The postoperative (PO) period after cardiac surgery is associated with the occurrence of respiratory complications. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is largely used as a ventilatory support strategy after the interruption of invasive mechanical ventilation. However, the variables associated with NIPPV prescription are unclear. OBJECTIVE: To describe the literature on predictors of NIPPV prescription in patients during the PO period of cardiac surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This systematic review was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) platform in December 2021 (CRD42021291973). Bibliographic searches were performed in February 2022 using the PubMed, Lilacs, Embase and PEDro databases, with no year or language restrictions. The Predictors for the prescription of NIPPV were considered among patients who achieved curative NIPPV. RESULTS: A total of 349 articles were identified, of which four were deemed eligible and were included in this review. Three studies were retrospective studies, and one was a prospective safety pilot study. The total sample size in each study ranged from 109 to 1657 subjects, with a total of 3456 participants, of whom 283 realized NIPPV. Curative NIPPV was the only form of NIPPV in 75% of the studies, which presented this form of prescription in 5-9% of the total sample size, with men around 65 years old being the majority of the participants receiving curative NIPPV. The main indication for curative NIPPV was acute respiratory failure. Only one study realized prophylactic NIPPV (28% of 32 participants). The main predictors for the prescription of curative NIPPV in the PO period of cardiac surgery observed in this study were elevated body mass index (BMI), hypercapnia, PO lung injury, cardiogenic oedema and pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS: BMI and lung alterations related to gas exchange disturbances are major predictors for NIPPV prescription in patients during the PO period of cardiac surgery. The identification of these predictors can benefit clinical decision-making regarding the prescription of NIPPV and help conserve human and material resources, thereby preventing the indiscriminate use of NIPPV.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: This study compares the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery (LBS) under general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Internet, Wanfang database, and Google Scholar for studies published up to July 29, 2023, without time or language restrictions. The search terms included "PEEP," "laparoscopic," and "bariatric surgery." Randomized controlled trials comparing different levels of PEEP or PEEP with zero-PEEP (ZEEP) in patients with obesity undergoing LBS were included. The primary outcome was a composite of PPCs, and the secondary outcomes were intraoperative oxygenation, respiratory compliance, and mean arterial pressure (MAP). A fixed-effect or random-effect model was selected for meta-analysis based on the heterogeneity of the included studies. RESULTS: Thirteen randomized controlled trials with a total of 708 participants were included for analysis. No statistically significant difference in PPCs was found between the PEEP and ZEEP groups (risk ratio = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.05-1.60; p = 0.15). However, high PEEP ≥ 10 cm H2O significantly decreased PPCs compared with low PEEP < 10 cm H2O (risk ratio = 0.20, 95% CI: 0.05-0.89; p = 0.03). The included studies showed no significant heterogeneity (I2 = 20% & 0%). Compared with ZEEP, PEEP significantly increased intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory compliance (WMD = 74.97 mm Hg, 95% CI: 41.74-108.21; p < 0.001 & WMD = 9.40 ml cm H2O- 1, 95% CI: 0.65-18.16; p = 0.04). High PEEP significantly improved intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory compliance during pneumoperitoneum compared with low PEEP (WMD = 66.81 mm Hg, 95% CI: 25.85-107.78; p = 0.001 & WMD = 8.03 ml cm H2O- 1, 95% CI: 4.70-11.36; p < 0.001). Importantly, PEEP did not impair hemodynamic status in LBS. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with obesity undergoing LBS, high PEEP ≥ 10 cm H2O could decrease PPCs compared with low PEEP < 10 cm H2O, while there was a similar incidence of PPCs between PEEP (8-10 cm H2O) and the ZEEP group. The application of PEEP in ventilation strategies increased intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory compliance without affecting intraoperative MAP. A PEEP of at least 10 cm H2O is recommended to reduce PPCs in patients with obesity undergoing LBS. REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42023391178 in PROSPERO.

RESUMEN

This systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) evaluates the efficacy and safety of Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy in perioperative care for obese surgical patients. We reviewed 24 studies, encompassing data up to March 23, 2023, analyzing the impacts of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP) on postoperative adverse outcomes, oxygenation, and pulmonary function. Our findings underscore the significant potential of PAP therapy in managing obese patients during the perioperative period, particularly those at substantial risk for postoperative respiratory complications. PAP therapy not only enhances oxygenation levels and lung function but also substantially reduces the incidence of atelectasis and shortens hospital stays, thereby affirming its vital role in improving perioperative outcomes for this patient population.

RESUMEN

STUDY OBJECTIVE: During laparoscopic surgery, the role of PEEP to improve outcome is controversial. Mechanistically, PEEP benefits depend on the extent of alveolar recruitment, which prevents ventilator-induced lung injury by reducing lung dynamic strain. The hypotheses of this study were that pneumoperitoneum-induced aeration loss and PEEP-induced recruitment are inter-individually variable, and that the recruitment-to-inflation ratio (R/I) can identify patients who benefit from PEEP in terms of strain reduction. DESIGN: Sequential study. SETTING: Operating room. PATIENTS: Seventeen ASA I-III patients receiving robot-assisted prostatectomy during Trendelenburg pneumoperitoneum. INTERVENTIONS AND MEASUREMENTS: Patients underwent end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and respiratory/lung/chest wall mechanics (esophageal manometry and inspiratory/expiratory occlusions) assessment at PEEP = 0 cmH2O before and after pneumoperitoneum, at PEEP = 4 and 12 cmH2O during pneumoperitoneum. Pneumoperitoneum-induced derecruitment and PEEP-induced recruitment were assessed through a simplified method based on multiple pressure-volume curve. Dynamic and static strain changes were evaluated. R/I between 12 and 4 cmH2O was assessed from EELV. Inter-individual variability was rated with the ratio of standard deviation to mean (CoV). MAIN RESULTS: Pneumoperitoneum reduced EELV by (median [IqR]) 410 mL [80-770] (p < 0.001) and increased dynamic strain by 0.04 [0.01-0.07] (p < 0.001), with high inter-individual variability (CoV = 70% and 88%, respectively). Compared to PEEP = 4 cmH2O, PEEP = 12 cmH2O yielded variable amount of recruitment (139 mL [96-366] CoV = 101%), causing different extent of dynamic strain reduction (median decrease 0.02 [0.01-0.04], p = 0.002; CoV = 86%) and static strain increases (median increase 0.05 [0.04-0.07], p = 0.01, CoV = 33%). R/I (1.73 [0.58-3.35]) estimated the decrease in dynamic strain (p ≤0.001, r = -0.90) and the increase in static strain (p = 0.009, r = -0.73) induced by PEEP, while PEEP-induced changes in respiratory and lung mechanics did not. CONCLUSIONS: Trendelenburg pneumoperitoneum yields variable derecruitment: PEEP capability to revert these phenomena varies significantly among individuals. High R/I identifies patients in whom higher PEEP mostly reduces dynamic strain with limited static strain increases, potentially allowing individualized settings.

RESUMEN

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Hypoxemia is the most frequent adverse event observed during gastrointestinal endoscopy under procedural sedation. An optimum oxygen therapy has still not been conclusively determined. DESIGN: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. SETTING: Digestive Endoscopy Center. PATIENTS: Adults (≥18 years old and of both sexes) during gastrointestinal endoscopy under procedural sedation. INTERVENTIONS: Pubmed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, and Clinicaltrials.gov. were searched until June 30, 2023. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing any oxygen therapy with another oxygen therapy or with placebo (nasal cannula, NC) were included. MEASUREMENT: The primary outcome was the incidence of hypoxemia, defined as the pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2). Random-effects network meta-analyses were performed. Data are reported as odds ratios (OR), prediction intervals (PrI) and 95% CI. Bias risk was evaluated following the guidelines outlined by the Cochrane Collaboration. The quality of evidence was evaluated through the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. MAIN RESULTS: We included 27 RCTs with a total of 7552 patients. Compared to the use of NC, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) demonstrated superior efficacy in mitigating hypoxemia (NIPPV vs. NC, OR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.08-0.31, 95% PrI: 0.06-0.41), followed by Wei nasal jet tube (WNJT) (WNJT vs. NC, OR = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.10-0.30, 95% PrI: 0.07-0.42). The efficacy for preventing hypoxemia was ranked as follows: NIPPV > WNJT > oropharynx/nasopharyngeal catheter > high-flow nasal oxygenation > nasal mask > NC. CONCLUSIONS: During gastrointestinal endoscopy under procedural sedation, all other advanced oxygen therapies were found to be more efficacious than nasal cannula. NIPPV and WNJT appear to be the most efficacious oxygen therapy for preventing hypoxemia. Additionally, clinicians should make a choice regarding the most suitable oxygen therapy based on the risk population, type of endoscopy and adverse events.

RESUMEN

Persistent shortcomings of invasive positive pressure ventilation make it less than an ideal intervention. Over the course of more than seven decades, clinical experience and scientific investigation have helped define its range of hazards and limitations. Apart from compromised airway clearance and lower airway contamination imposed by endotracheal intubation, the primary hazards inherent to positive pressure ventilation may be considered in three broad categories: hemodynamic impairment, potential for ventilation-induced lung injury, and impairment of the respiratory muscle pump. To optimize care delivery, it is crucial for monitoring and machine outputs to integrate information with the potential to impact the underlying requirements of the patient and/or responses of the cardiopulmonary system to ventilatory interventions. Trending analysis, timely interventions, and closer communication with the caregiver would limit adverse clinical trajectories. Judging from the rapid progress of recent years, we are encouraged to think that insights from physiologic research and emerging technological capability may eventually address important aspects of current deficiencies.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the characteristics of respiratory support (RS) for patients with stroke and clinical factors with the number and structure of complications, deaths, and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and duration of artificial pulmonary ventilation (ALV). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The Russian multicenter observational clinical study «Respiratory Therapy for Acute Stroke¼ (RETAS) that enrolled 1289 patients with stroke requiring RS was conducted under the auspices of the All-Russian public organization «Federation of Anesthesiologists and Resuscitators¼. Indications for ALV, the use of hyperventilation, the maximum level of positive end-expiratory pressure, starting modes of mechanical ventilation, timing of tracheostomy, the incidence of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) and infectious complications were analyzed. The following scales were used to assess the severity of the condition: the National Institutes of Health Stroke Severity Scale (NIHSS), the Glasgow Coma Scale, the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). RESULTS: For the group of patients with a stroke severity of more than 20 NIHSS points, the mortality increase was associated with initial hypoxia (p=0.004), hyperventilation used to relieve intracranial hypertension (p=0.034), and starting ventilation with volume control (VC) compared with starting pressure-controlled ventilation (PC) (p<0.001). We found that the use of the instrumental monitoring of intracranial pressure was associated with a decrease in mortality (p<0.001). The absence of PEM in patients with stroke is associated with a higher probability of a positive outcome (GOS 4 and 5) for the group with NIHSS less than 14 points (p<0.001). Ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis and ventilator-associated pneumonia were associated with an increase in the duration of ALV, the duration of weaning from the ventilator (for ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis) and the duration of stay in the ICU, and also reduced the chances of favorable outcomes (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The factors associated with increased mortality in acute stroke are: hypoxemia at the start of ALV, hyperventilation, starting ventilation with VC in comparison with starting ventilation with PC, the use of only clinical methods of monitoring intracranial pressure in comparison with instrumental monitoring. The adverse effect of PEM and infectious complications on the outcome in patients with acute stroke has been proven.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The Air-Q Self Pressurized Airway Device with Blocker (SP Blocker) was compared to the Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway (PLMA) during positive pressure ventilation regarding the primary outcome (oropharyngeal leak pressure [OLP]), secondary outcomes (peak inspiratory pressure [PIP], inspired tidal volume [ITV], expired tidal volume [ETV], leak volume [LV] and leak fraction [LF]), insertion time, ventilation score, fiber-optic glottis view score, and postoperative laryngopharyngeal parameters (LPM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Adult healthy female patients scheduled for elective gynecological laparotomies under general anesthesia using controlled mechanical ventilation were recruited to a prospective randomized comparative clinical trial. Exclusion criteria were body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg m -2 , El-Ganzouri score ≥ 5, upper airway problems, hiatus hernia or pregnancy. Patients were classified into an SP Blocker group ( n = 75) and a PLMA group ( n = 75). Primary and secondary outcomes were assessed initially and at fixed time points after successful insertion of devices. RESULTS: Initially after successful device insertion: the SP Blocker group showed statistically significant higher mean OLP (cmH 2 O) (29.46 ± 2.11 vs. 28.06 ± 1.83 respectively; 95% CI: -2.037 to -0.76, P < 0.0001), lower mean PIP (cmH 2 O) (15.49 ± 0.61 vs. 17.78 ± 1.04 respectively; 95% CI: 2.02 to 2.56, P < 0.0001), higher mean ITV (mL) (411 ± 30 vs. 403 ± 15 respectively; 95% CI: -15.65 to -0.347, P = 0.041), higher mean ETV (mL) (389 ± 12 vs. 354 ± 11 respectively; 95% CI: -38.72 to -31.29, P < 0.0001), lower mean LV (mL) (22 ± 18 vs. 49 ± 10 respectively; 95% CI: 22.3 to 31.7, P < 0.0001) and lower mean LF (%) (5 ± 2.04 vs. 12 ± 6.8 respectively; 95% CI: 5.38 to 8.62, P < 0.0001) than the PLMA group. Mean insertion time (seconds) was shorter in the SP Blocker group than the PLMA group (16.39 ± 2.81 vs. 18.63 ± 3.44 respectively; 95% CI: 1.23 to 3.25, P < 0.0001). The SP Blocker group offered a better fiber-optic glottis view score than the PLMA group without differences concerning ventilation score and LPM. CONCLUSIONS: SP Blocker provided as safe anesthesia during controlled mechanical ventilation as PLMA.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a crucial component of mechanical ventilation to improve oxygenation in critically ill patients with respiratory failure. The interaction between abdominal and thoracic compartment pressures is known well. Especially in intra-abdominal hypertension, lower PEEP may cause atelectotrauma by repetitive opening and closing of alveoli. AIM: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of PEEP adjustment according to the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on oxygenation and clarify possible harms. METHOD: Patients older than 18 were mechanically ventilated due to hypoxemic respiratory failure and had normal IAP (<15 mmHg) included in the study. Patients with severe cardiovascular dysfunction were excluded. The following PEEP levels were applied: PEEPzero of 0 cmH2O, PEEPIAP/2 = 50% of IAP, and PEEPIAP = 100% of IAP. After a 30-minute equilibration period, arterial blood gases and mean arterial pressures were measured. RESULTS: One hundred thirty-eight patients (mean age 66.5 ± 15.9, 56.5% male) enrolled on the study. The mean IAP was 9.8 ± 3.4. Seventy-nine percent of the patients' PaO2/FiO2 ratio was under 300 mmHg. Figure 1 shows the change in PaO2/FiO2 ratio, PaCO2, PPlato, and MAP of the patients according to the PEEP levels. Overall increases were detected in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio (P < 0.001) and Pplato (P < 0.001), while PaCO2 and MAP did not change after increasing PEEP gradually. Pairwise analyses revealed differences in PaO2/FiO2 between PEEPzero (186.4 [85.7-265.8]) and PEEPIAP/2 (207.7 [101.7-292.9]) (t = -0.77, P < 0.001), between baseline and PEEPIAP (236.1 [121.4-351.0]) (t = -1.7, P < 0.001), and between PEEPIAP/2 and PEEPIAP (t = -1.0, P < 0.001). Plato pressures were in the safe range (<30 cmH2O) at all three PEEP levels (PEEPzero = 12 [10-15], PEEPIAP/2 = 15 [13-18], PEEPIAP = 17 [14-22]). CONCLUSION: In patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and mechanically ventilated, PEEP adjustment according to the IAB improves oxygenation, especially in the settings of the limited source where other PEEP titration methods are absent.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Although pressure support ventilation is one of the most commonly used assisted ventilation modes in intensive care units, there is still a lack of precise strategies for setting pressure support. By performing an end-inspiratory airway occlusion, the difference between the peak and plateau airway pressure, which is defined as pressure muscle index (PMI), can be easily measured on the ventilator screen. Previous studies have shown that PMI is accurate in detecting high and low inspiratory effort. No study has been conducted to investigate the use of PMI as an indicator for setting inspiratory pressure support. METHOD AND ANALYSIS: This is a study protocol for a prospective, single-centre, randomised controlled, pilot trial. Sixty participants undergoing pressure support ventilation will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the control group or intervention group, with pressure support adjusted according to standard care or guided by the PMI strategy for 48 hours, respectively. The feasibility of the PMI-guided strategy will be evaluated. The primary endpoint is the proportion of inspiratory effort measurements within a well-accepted 'normal' range, which is predefined as oesophageal pressure-time product per minute between 50 and 200 cmH2O⋅s/min, for each patient during 48 hours of pressure support adjustment. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol has been approved by Beijing Tiantan Hospital (KY2023-005-02). The data generated in the present study will be available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. The results of the trial will be submitted to international peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05963737; ClinicalTrials.org.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The mini-fluid challenge (MFC), which assesses the change in stroke volume index (SVI) following the administration of 100 mL of crystalloids, and the short-time low positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) challenge (SLPC), which evaluates the temporary reduction in SVI due to a PEEP increment, are two functional hemodynamic tests used to predict fluid responsiveness in the operating room. However, SLPC has not been assessed in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, and there is no study comparing these two methods during laparotomy. Therefore, we aimed to compare the SLPC and MFC in patients undergoing open pancreaticoduodenectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients received a standard hemodynamic management. The study protocol evaluated the percentage change in SVI following the application of an additional 5 cmH2O PEEP (SVIΔ%-SLPC) and the infusion of 100 mL crystalloid (SVIΔ%-MFC). Challenges that resulted in an increase of more than 15% in SVI after the 500 ml of fluid loading were classified as positive challenges (PC). Areas under the receiver operating characteristics curves (ROC AUCs) were used for the comparison of the methods. RESULTS: Thirty-three patients completed the study with 94 challenges. Fifty-five (58.5%) of them were PCs. The ROC AUC of SVIΔ%-MFC was observed to be significantly higher than that of SVIΔ%-SLPC (0.97 vs. 0.64, p < 0.001). The best cut-off value for SVIΔ%-MFC was 5.6%. If we had stopped the bolus fluid administration when SVIΔ%-MFC ≤ 5% was observed (lower limit of the gray zone), we would have postponed the fluid loading in 35 (89.7%) of 39 negative challenges. The amount of fluid deferred would have corresponded to up to 40% of the total fluid given. CONCLUSIONS: SVIΔ%-MFC predicts fluid responsiveness with high diagnostic performance and is better than SVIΔ%-SLPC in patients undergoing open pancreatoduodenectomy. Additionally, the use of SVIΔ%-MFC has the potential to defer up to 40% of the total fluid given. CLINICALTRIALS: gov: NCT05419570.

RESUMEN

RATIONALE: The positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) strategy in patients with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains debated. Most studies originate from the initial waves of the pandemic. Here we aimed to assess the impact of high PEEP/low FiO2 ventilation on outcomes during the second wave in the Netherlands. METHODS: Retrospective observational study of invasively ventilated COVID-19 patients during the second wave. Patients were categorized based on whether they received high PEEP or low PEEP ventilation according to the ARDS Network tables. The primary outcome was ICU mortality, and secondary outcomes included hospital and 90-day mortality, duration of ventilation and length of stay, and the occurrence of kidney injury. Propensity matching was performed to correct for factors with a known relationship to ICU mortality. RESULTS: This analysis included 790 COVID-ARDS patients. At ICU discharge, 32 (22.5%) out of 142 high PEEP patients and 254 (39.2%) out of 848 low PEEP patients had died (HR 0.66 [0.46-0.96]; P = 0.03). High PEEP was linked to improved secondary outcomes. Matched analysis did not change findings. CONCLUSIONS: High PEEP ventilation was associated with improved ICU survival in patients with COVID-ARDS.
