Abstract
The pathology of BPD has changed over time, with the old BPD characterized by airway injury, inflammation, and parenchymal fibrosis giving way to the new BPD manifesting less fibrosis but with decreased alveolar and vascular development. The pathogenesis of BPD involves factors affecting the severity and management of RDS, alterations in lung development and maturation, alveolar-vascular interactions, and extracellular matrix remodeling. These factors in pathogenesis are mediated and modulated by hyperoxic lung injury, antioxidants, NO, the pulmonary neuroendocrine system and peptide growth factors, the immune system, and various genetic polymorphisms and predispositions. Future therapeutic interventions are likely to target one or more of these abnormalities in lung development, maturation, and response to injury.

Abstract
Current protective lung ventilation strategies commonly involve hypercapnia. This approach has resulted in an increase in the clinical acceptability of elevated carbon dioxide tension, with hypoventilation and hypercapnia 'permitted' in order to avoid the deleterious effects of high lung stretch. Advances in our understanding of the biology of hypercapnia have prompted consideration of the potential for hypercapnia to play an active role in the pathogenesis of inflammation and tissue injury. In fact, hypercapnia may protect against lung and systemic organ injury independently of ventilator strategy. However, there are no clinical data evaluating the direct effects of hypercapnia per se in acute lung injury. This article reviews the current clinical status of permissive hypercapnia, discusses insights gained to date from basic scientific studies of hypercapnia and acidosis, identifies key unresolved concerns regarding hypercapnia, and considers the potential clinical implications for the management of patients with acute lung injury.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is the second most frequently performed therapeutic intervention after treatment for cardiac arrhythmias in intensive care units today. Countless lives have been saved with its use despite being associated with a greater than 30% in-hospital mortality rate. As life expectancies increase and people with chronic illnesses survive longer, artificial support with mechanical ventilation is also expected to rise. In one survey, over half of senior internal medicine residents reported their training on mechanical ventilation as inadequate, whereas the majority of critical care nurses reported having received no formal education on its use. Technological advances resulting in the availability of sleeker ventilators with graphic waveform displays and new modes of ventilation have challenged the bedside clinicians to incorporate this new data along with evidenced-based research into their daily practice. A review of current thoughts on mechanical ventilation and weaning is presented.

Abstract
A closed-loop lung ventilation controller was designed, aiming to: 1) track a desired end-tidal CO2 pressure (Pet CO2), 2) find the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of minimum estimated respiratory system elastance (Ers,e), and 3) follow objective functions conjectured to reduce lung injury. After numerical simulations, tests were performed in six paralyzed piglets. Respiratory mechanics parameters were estimated by the recursive least squares (RLS) method. The controller incorporated a modified PI controller for Pet CO2 and a gradient descent method for PEEP. In each animal, three automated PEEP control runs were performed, as well as a manual PEEP titration of Ers,e and a multiple PetCO2 step change trial. Overall performance indexes were obtained from PEEP control, such as minimum Ers,e (37.0 +/- 4.5 cmH2O x L(-1)), time to reach the minimum Ers,e (235 +/- 182 s) and associated PEEP (6.5 +/- 1.0 cmH2O), and from Pet CO2 control, such as rise time (53 +/- 22 s), absolute overshoot/undershoot of PetCO2 (3 +/- 1 mmHg), and settling time (145 +/- 72 s). The resulting CO2 controller dynamics approximate physiological responses, and results from PEEP control were similar to those obtained by manual titration. Multiple dependencies linking the involved variables are discussed. The present controller can help to implement and evaluate objective functions that meet clinical goals.

Abstract
Lung mechanics and morphometry were assessed in two groups of nine normal open-chest rabbits mechanically ventilated (MV) for 3-4 h at zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP) with physiological tidal volumes (Vt; 11 ml/kg) and high (group A) or low (group B) inflation flow (44 and 6.1 ml x kg(-1) x s(-1), respectively). Relative to initial MV on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP; 2.3 cmH(2)O), MV on ZEEP increased quasi-static elastance and airway and viscoelastic resistance more in group A (+251, +393, and +225%, respectively) than in group B (+180, +247, and +183%, respectively), with no change in viscoelastic time constant. After restoration of PEEP, quasi-static elastance and viscoelastic resistance returned to control, whereas airway resistance, still relative to initial values, remained elevated more in group A (+86%) than in group B (+33%). In contrast, prolonged high-flow MV on PEEP had no effect on lung mechanics of seven open-chest rabbits (group C). Gas exchange on PEEP was equally preserved in all groups, and the lung wet-to-dry ratios were normal. Relative to group C, both groups A and B had an increased percentage of abnormal alveolar-bronchiolar attachments and number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in alveolar septa, the latter being significantly larger in group A than in group B. Thus prolonged MV on ZEEP with cyclic opening-closing of peripheral airways causes alveolar-bronchiolar uncoupling and parenchymal inflammation with concurrent, persistent increase in airway resistance, which are worsened by high-inflation flow.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To synthesize the emerging body of experimental, observational, and clinical trial data into a practical guideline for safe and effective ventilatory management of acute respiratory distress syndrome. DATA SOURCES Relevant, peer-reviewed, scientific literature and personal observations from clinical practice. STUDY SELECTION Relevant experimental studies and high-impact observational and clinical trials of acute respiratory distress syndrome management. DATA EXTRACTION Detailed review of information contained in published scientific work. DATA SYNTHESIS Interactive discussions between the authors that culminated in our consensus view of appropriate management. CONCLUSIONS Prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury while accomplishing the essential life-supporting roles of mechanical ventilation is a complex undertaking that requires application of principles founded on a broad experimental and clinical database and on the results of well-executed clinical trials. At the bedside, execution of an effective lung-protective ventilation strategy remains an empirical process best guided by integrated physiology and a readiness to revise the management approach depending on the individual's response.

Abstract
"Permissive hypercapnia" is an inherent element of accepted protective lung ventilation. However, there are no clinical data evaluating the efficacy of hypercapnia per se, independent of ventilator strategy. In the absence of such data, it is necessary to determine whether the potential exists for an active role for hypercapnia, distinct from the demonstrated benefits of reduced lung stretch. In this review, we consider four key issues. First, we consider the evidence that protective lung ventilatory strategies improve survival and we explore current paradigms regarding the mechanisms underlying these effects. Second, we examine whether hypercapnic acidosis may have effects that are additive to the effects of protective ventilation. Third, we consider whether direct elevation of CO(2), in the absence of protective ventilation, is beneficial or deleterious. Fourth, we address the current evidence regarding the buffering of hypercapnic acidosis in ARDS. These perspectives reveal that the potential exists for hypercapnia to exert beneficial effects in the clinical context. Direct administration of CO(2) is protective in multiple models of acute lung and systemic injury. Nevertheless, several specific concerns remain regarding the safety of hypercapnia. At present, protective ventilatory strategies that involve hypercapnia are clinically acceptable, provided the clinician is primarily targeting reduced tidal stretch. There are insufficient clinical data to suggest that hypercapnia per se should be independently induced, nor do outcome data exist to support the practice of buffering hypercapnic acidosis. Rapidly advancing basic scientific investigations should better delineate the advantages, disadvantages, and optimal use of hypercapnia in ARDS.

Abstract
Deliberate induction of prophylactic hypercapnic acidosis protects against lung injury after in vivo ischemia-reperfusion and ventilation-induced lung injury. However, the efficacy of hypercapnic acidosis in sepsis, the commonest cause of clinical acute respiratory distress syndrome, is not known. We investigated whether hypercapnic acidosis--induced by adding CO2 to inspired gas--would be protective against endotoxin-induced lung injury in an in vivo rat model. Prophylactic institution of hypercapnic acidosis (i.e., induction before endotoxin instillation) attenuated the decrement in arterial oxygenation, improved lung compliance, and attenuated alveolar neutrophil infiltration compared with control conditions. Therapeutic institution of hypercapnic acidosis, that is, induction after endotoxin instillation, attenuated the decrement in oxygenation, improved lung compliance, and reduced alveolar neutrophil infiltration and histologic indices of lung injury. Therapeutic hypercapnic acidosis attenuated the endotoxin-induced increase in the higher oxides of nitrogen and nitrosothiols in the lung tissue and epithelial lining fluid. Lung epithelial lining fluid nitrotyrosine concentrations were increased with hypercapnic acidosis. We conclude that hypercapnic acidosis attenuates acute endotoxin-induced lung injury, and is efficacious both prophylactically and therapeutically. The beneficial actions of hypercapnic acidosis were not mediated by inhibition of peroxynitrite-induced nitration within proteins.

Abstract
Permissive hypercapnia because of reduced tidal volume is associated with improved survival in lung injury, whereas therapeutic hypercapnia-deliberate elevation of arterial Pco2-protects against in vivo reperfusion injury and injury produced by severe lung stretch. No published studies to date have examined the effects of CO2 on in vivo models of neonatal lung injury. We used an established in vivo rabbit model of surfactant depletion to investigate whether therapeutic hypercapnia would improve oxygenation and protect against ventilator-induced lung injury. Animals were randomized to injurious (tidal volume, 12 mL/kg; positive end-expiratory pressure, 0 cm H2O) or protective ventilatory strategy (tidal volume, 5 mL/kg; positive end-expiratory pressure, 12.5 cm H2O), and to receive either control conditions or therapeutic hypercapnia (fraction of inspired CO2, 0.12). Oxygenation (alveolar-arterial O2 difference, arterial Po2), lung injury (alveolar-capillary protein leak, impairment of static compliance), and selected bronchoalveolar lavage and plasma cytokines (IL-8, growth-related oncogene, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha) were measured. Injurious ventilation resulted in a large alveolar-arterial O2 gradient, elevated peak airway pressure, increased protein leak, and impaired lung compliance. Therapeutic hypercapnia did not affect any of these outcomes. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha was not increased by mechanical stretch in any of the groups. Therapeutic hypercapnia abolished the stretch-induced increase in bronchoalveolar lavage monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, but did not affect any of the other mediators studied. Therapeutic hypercapnia may attenuate the impairment in oxygenation and inhibit certain cytokines. Because hypercapnia inhibits certain cytokines but does not alter lung injury, the pathogenic role of these cytokines in lung injury is questionable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deliberate elevation of PaCO2 (therapeutic hypercapnia) protects against lung injury induced by lung reperfusion and severe lung stretch. Conversely, hypocapnic alkalosis causes lung injury and worsens lung reperfusion injury. Alterations in lung surfactant may contribute to ventilator-associated lung injury. The potential for CO2 to contribute to the pathogenesis of ventilator-associated lung injury at clinically relevant tidal volumes is unknown. We hypothesized that: 1) hypocapnia would worsen ventilator-associated lung injury, 2) therapeutic hypercapnia would attenuate ventilator-associated lung injury; and 3) the mechanisms of impaired compliance would be via alteration of surfactant biochemistry. DESIGN Randomized, prospective animal study. SETTING Research laboratory of university-affiliated hospital. SUBJECTS Anesthetized, male New Zealand Rabbits. INTERVENTIONS All animals received the same ventilation strategy (tidal volume, 12 mL/kg; positive end-expiratory pressure, 0 cm H2O; rate, 42 breaths/min) and were randomized to receive FiCO2 of 0.00, 0.05, or 0.12 to produce hypocapnia, normocapnia, and hypercapnia, respectively. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient was significantly lower with therapeutic hypercapnia, and peak airway pressure was significantly higher with hypocapnic alkalosis. However, neither static lung compliance nor surfactant chemistry (total surfactant, aggregates, or composition) differed among the groups. CONCLUSIONS At clinically relevant tidal volume, CO2 modulates key physiologic indices of lung injury, including alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient and airway pressure, indicating a potential role in the pathogenesis of ventilator-associated lung injury. These effects are surfactant independent.

Abstract
Experimental and clinical evidence point strongly toward the potential for microvascular stresses to influence the severity and expression of ventilator associated lung injury. Intense microvascular stresses not only influence edema but predispose to structural failure of the gas-blood barrier, possibly with adverse consequences for the lung and for extrapulmonary organs. Taking measures to lower vascular stress may offer a logical, but as yet unproven, extension of a lung-protective strategy for life support in ARDS.

Abstract
Hypercapnic acidosis protects against direct lung injury in in vivo and ex vivo models, however, lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome commonly occurs after a nonpulmonary etiology. We investigated whether therapeutic hypercapnia (TH)-deliberate elevation of carbon dioxide (CO2) tension-would protect against lung injury after splanchnic ischemia-reperfusion injury in an in vivo model. TH was associated with preservation of lung mechanics, attenuation of protein leakage, and improved oxygenation compared with control conditions. Lung protection was therapeutic as well as prophylactic. Protection was dose-dependent, but inspired CO2 concentrations above 5.0% were associated with little additional lung protection. Before lung injury, increasing FICO2 resulted in a dose-dependent increase in PaO2. Lung protection with hypercapnia occurred despite pulmonary artery pressures that were greater than observed with normocapnia. Reperfusion increased lipid peroxidation (tissue 8-isoprostane concentration) in the bowel, liver, and lung, and caused histologically apparent bowel injury; however, none of these effects was altered by TH. Therefore, TH-induced by adding CO2 to inspired gas-provides consistent protection against lung injury in terms of lung permeability, oxygenation, and lung mechanics after mesenteric ischemia-reperfusion. These data further support the emerging evidence for ongoing physiologic study of TH at the bedside.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation has been demonstrated to exacerbate lung injury, and a sufficiently high tidal volume can induce injury in otherwise healthy lungs. However, it remains controversial whether injurious ventilation per se, without preceding lung injury, can initiate cytokine-mediated pulmonary inflammation. To address this, we developed an in vivo mouse model of acute lung injury produced by high tidal volume (Vt) ventilation. Anesthetized C57BL6 mice were ventilated at high Vt (34.5 +/- 2.9 ml/kg, mean +/- SD) for a duration of 156 +/- 17 min until mean blood pressure fell below 45 mmHg (series 1); high Vt for 120 min (series 2); or low Vt (8.8 +/- 0.5 ml/kg) for 120 or 180 min (series 3). High Vt produced progressive lung injury with a decrease in respiratory system compliance, increase in protein concentration in lung lavage fluid, and lung pathology showing hyaline membrane formation. High-Vt ventilation was associated with increased TNF-alpha in lung lavage fluid at the early stage of injury (series 2) but not the later stage (series 1). In contrast, lavage fluid macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) was increased in all high-Vt animals. Lavage fluid from high-Vt animals contained bioactive TNF-alpha by WEHI bioassay. Low-Vt ventilation induced minimal changes in physiology and pathology with negligible TNF-alpha and MIP-2 proteins and TNF-alpha bioactivity. These results demonstrate that high-Vt ventilation in the absence of underlying injury induces intrapulmonary TNF-alpha and MIP-2 expression in mice. The apparently transient nature of TNF-alpha upregulation may help explain previous controversy regarding the involvement of cytokines in ventilator-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome are at increased risk for developing multiorgan system dysfunction. The goal of this study was to establish an in vivo murine model to assess the differential effects of ventilation-protective strategies on the development of acute lung injury and systemic organ inflammation. C57B/6 mice were randomized to mechanical ventilation (MV) with conventional, high (17 ml/kg) or protective, low (6 ml/kg) tidal volume (VT) after intratracheal hydrochloric acid or no intervention. Mean arterial pressure was continuously monitored during MV and did not differ between groups. After 4 h, lung injury was assessed by measurement of wet/dry lung weight, lung lavage protein concentration and cell count, and histology. Concentration of IL-6, TNF-alpha, VEGF, and VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2) was measured in lung, liver, kidney, and heart. Results were compared with control, spontaneously breathing mice. Lung injury and altered pulmonary cytokine expression were not detected after MV of healthy mice with low or high VT. Although MV did not significantly alter IL-6 or TNF-alpha in systemic organs, VEGF concentration significantly increased in liver and kidney. After acid aspiration, mice ventilated with high VT manifested lung injury and increased IL-6 and VEGFR2 in lung, liver, and kidney, whereas VEGF increased only in liver and kidney. MV with low VT after acid aspiration attenuated lung injury, both IL-6 and VEGFR2 expression in lung and systemic organs, and hepatic, but not renal, increased VEGF. Our data suggest that MV strategy has differential effects on systemic inflammatory changes and thus may selectively predispose to systemic organ dysfunction.

Abstract
Positive pressure mechanical ventilation has significant systemic effects, but the systemic effects associated with ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) are unexplored. We hypothesized that VILI would cause systemic microvascular leak that is dependent on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression. Rats were ventilated with room air at 85 breaths/minute for 2 hours with either VT 7 or 20 ml/kg. Kidney microvascular leak, which was assessed by measuring 24-hour urine protein and Evans blue dye, was used as a marker of systemic microvascular leak. A significant microvascular leak occurred in both lung and kidney with large VT (20 ml/kg) ventilation. Injection of 0.9% NaCl corrected the hypotension and the decreased cardiac output related to large VT, but it did not attenuate microvascular leak of lung and kidney. Serum vascular endothelial growth factor was significantly elevated in large VT groups. Endothelial NOS expression significantly increased in the lung and kidney tissue with large VT ventilation but not inducible NOS. The NOS inhibitor, N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, attenuated the microvascular leak of lung and kidney and the proteinuria with large VT ventilation. Endothelial NOS may mediate the systemic microvascular leak of the present model of VILI.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that cells of ventilator-injured lungs are subject to reversible plasma membrane stress failure. Rat lungs were perfused with the membrane impermeable fluorescent marker propidium iodide and randomized to one of four ventilation strategies. Subpleural lung regions were imaged with confocal microscopy, and cell injury was quantified as the number of propidium iodide-positive cells per alveolus. The number of injured cells was significantly greater in lungs ventilated with large tidal volumes and zero end-expiratory pressure than in lungs ventilated with small tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressure (p < 0.01). Cell injury correlated with lung weight gain, change in dynamic compliance, and histologic injury scores. In a second set of experiments, lungs were mechanically ventilated for 30 minutes at high tidal volume settings, whereas propidium iodide was perfused either during or after injurious ventilation. Labeling after removal of injurious stress revealed significantly fewer injured cells (0.25 +/- 0.09 to 0.08 +/- 0.08, p < 0.01). We conclude that cells of ventilator-injured lungs are subject to reversible plasma membrane stress failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review the challenges of providing mechanical ventilatory support for respiratory failure while avoiding ventilator-associated lung injury in patients with acute lung injury. To review the results of several randomized clinical trials of lung-protective ventilation strategies using conventional mechanical ventilators. DATA SOURCES Published reports of clinical trials comparing clinical outcomes of patients with acute lung injury, randomized to mechanical ventilation with either a lung-protective or a control, conventional, standard, or traditional approach. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies are designed to prevent injury from overdistention by using lower tidal volumes and lower inspiratory pressures (volume- and pressure-limited ventilation) or injury from ventilation with atelectasis and alveolar flooding at end-expiration (open-lung ventilation). In one trial, clinical outcomes were better in the study group that received combined volume- and pressure-limited and open-lung strategies compared with the study group that received a conventional approach. Of four trials focusing on volume- and pressure-limited ventilation alone, three did not demonstrate improvements in clinical outcomes, whereas one demonstrated a substantial reduction in mortality and an increase in ventilator-free days. The different results in these four trials may be attributable to differences in tidal volumes between the study groups, chance variation, or differences in the management of respiratory acidosis. CONCLUSIONS Evidence supports the use of a volume- and pressure-limited approach to mechanical ventilation in patients with acute lung injury. It is not yet clear whether the open-lung approach will further reduce mortality in patients receiving volume- and pressure-limited ventilation support.

Abstract
High PCO(2) levels attenuate reperfusion injury and ventilation-induced injury in isolated and perfused lungs. We asked whether premature lambs could tolerate 6 h of ventilation with a PCO(2) >80 mm Hg and whether the high PCO(2) modulated the ventilator-induced injury. Preterm surfactant-treated lambs were ventilated for 30 min with a high tidal volume (V(T)) to induce lung injury. The lambs then were ventilated for 5.5 h with a V(T) of 6-9 mL/kg to achieve a PCO(2) of 40-50 mm Hg in the control group. CO(2) was added to the ventilator circuit of a high PCO(2) group to maintain an average PCO(2) of 95 +/- 5 mm Hg. The high PCO(2) lambs had heart rates, blood pressures, plasma cortisol values, and oxygenation equivalent to the control lambs. The lungs of the high PCO(2) group had significantly higher gas volumes and had less lung injury by histopathology. Indicators of inflammation (white blood cells, hydrogen peroxide production, and IL-1beta and IL-8 cytokine mRNA expression in cells from the alveolar wash) qualitatively indicated less injury in the high PCO(2) group, although the differences were not significant. Preterm lambs tolerated a very high PCO(2) without physiologic compromise for 6 h. The high PCO(2) may attenuate ventilator-induced lung injury in the preterm.

Abstract
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is being used clinically to avoid mechanical ventilation of preterm infants as a strategy to minimize lung injury. There is little experimental information about how CPAP might minimize lung injury after preterm birth. We induced preterm labor in antenatal glucocorticoid-treated sheep carrying twins at 133 d gestation with an inhibitor of progesterone synthesis. The lambs delivered spontaneously approximately 2 d later and were randomized to three groups: no ventilation (n = 4), conventional mechanical ventilation to a target PCO(2) of 40 mm Hg (n = 5), or CPAP using a bubble CPAP device set to deliver 5 cm H(2)O pressure (n = 6). The CPAP lambs breathed without distress and maintained PCO(2) values of approximately 60 mm Hg. At 2 h of age, the lungs of the CPAP lambs held 74 +/- 4 mL/kg air at 40 cm H(2)O pressure, which was more than the 60 +/- 3 mL/kg for the ventilated lambs (p < 0.05). Lymphocyte and monocyte numbers in alveolar washes were equivalent in the unventilated, ventilated, and CPAP lambs. However, no neutrophils were found in the unventilated lambs, and the ventilated lambs had 6.6 times more neutrophils in alveolar washes than did the CPAP lambs (p < 0.05). The cells in alveolar wash from CPAP lambs contained less hydrogen peroxide than did the cells from ventilated lambs (p < 0.05). In this model in preterm lambs CPAP results in lower indicators of acute lung injury than does mechanical ventilation during the first 2 h of life.

Abstract
To investigate whether hypercapnic acidosis protects against ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in vivo, we subjected 12 anesthetized, paralyzed rabbits to high tidal volume ventilation (25 cc/kg) at 32 breaths per minute and zero positive end-expiratory pressure for 4 hours. Each rabbit was randomized to receive either an FI(CO(2)) to achieve eucapnia (Pa(CO(2)) approximately 40 mm Hg; n = 6) or hypercapnic acidosis (Pa(CO(2)) 80-100 mm Hg; n = 6). Injury was assessed by measuring differences between the two groups' respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, wet:dry weight, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid protein concentration and cell count, and injury score. The eucapnic group showed significantly higher plateau pressures (27.0 +/- 2.5 versus 20.9 +/- 3.0; p = 0.016), change in Pa(O(2)) (165.2 +/- 19.4 versus 77.3 +/- 87.9 mm Hg; p = 0.02), wet:dry weight (9.7 +/- 2.3 versus 6.6 +/- 1.8; p = 0.04), bronchoalveolar lavage protein concentration (1,350 +/- 228 versus 656 +/- 511 micro g/ml; p = 0.03), cell count (6.86 x 10(5) +/- 0.18 x 10(5) versus 2.84 x 10(5) +/- 0.28 x 10(5) nucleated cells/ml; p = 0.021), and injury score (7.0 +/- 3.3 versus 0.7 +/- 0.9; p < 0.0001). We conclude that hypercapnic acidosis is protective against VILI in this model.
