Abstract
BACKGROUND The alveolar recruitment maneuver (RM) has been reported to improve oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and may be related to reduced extravascular lung water (EVLW) in animals. This study was designed to investigate the effects of RM on EVLW in patients with ARDS. METHODS An open label, prospective, randomized controlled trial including patients with ARDS was conducted in hospitals in North Taiwan between 2010 and 2016. The patients were divided into 2 groups (with and without RM). The primary endpoint was the comparison of the EVLW index between the 2 groups. RESULTS Twenty-four patients with ARDS on mechanical ventilator support were randomized to receive ventilator treatment with RM (RM group, n = 12) or without RM (non-RM group, n = 12). Baseline demographic characteristics were similar between the 2 groups. After recruitment, the day 3 extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) (25.3 ± 9.3 vs 15.5 ± 7.3 mL/kg, P = .008) and the arterial oxygen tension/fractional inspired oxygen ratio (PaO2/FiO2) (132.3 ± 43.5 vs 185.6 ± 38.8 mL/kg, P = .003) both improved over that of day 1. However, both EVLWI and PaO2/FiO2 did not significantly change from day 1 to 3 in the non-RM group. CONCLUSION RM is a feasible method for improving oxygenation and the EVLW index in patients with ARDS, as well as for decreasing ventilator days and intensive care unit stay duration.

Increased extravascular lung water reduces the efficacy of alveolar recruitment maneuver in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Crit Care Res Pract 2012; 2012:606528. [PMID: 22649717 PMCID: PMC3356898 DOI: 10.1155/2012/606528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2011] [Accepted: 02/20/2012] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction. In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) the recruitment maneuver (RM) is used to reexpand atelectatic areas of the lungs aiming to improve arterial oxygenation. The goal of our paper was to evaluate the response to RM, as assessed by measurements of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in ARDS patients. Materials and Methods. Seventeen adult ARDS patients were enrolled into a prospective study. Patients received protective ventilation. The RM was performed by applying a continuous positive airway pressure of 40 cm H2O for 40 sec. The efficacy of the RM was assessed 5 min later. Patients were identified as responders if PaO2/FiO2 increased by >20% above the baseline. EVLWI was assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution before the RM, and patients were divided into groups of low EVLWI (<10 mL/kg) and high EVLWI (≥10 mL/kg). Results. EVLWI was increased in 12 patients. Following RM, PaO2/FiO2 increased by 33 (4–65) % in the patients with low EVLWI, whereas those in
the high EVLWI group experienced a change by only −1((−13)–(+5)) % (P = 0.035). Conclusion. In ARDS, the response to a recruitment maneuver might be related to the severity of pulmonary edema. In patients with incresed EVLWI, the recruitment maneuver is less effective.

Abstract
Introduction. A recruitment maneuver (RM) may improve gas exchange in acute lung injury (ALI). The aim of our study was to assess the predictive value of a derecruitment test in relation to RM and to evaluate the efficacy of RM combined with surfactant instillation in patients with ALI.Materials and Methods. Thirteen adult mechanically ventilated patients with ALI were enrolled into a prospective pilot study. The patients received protective ventilation and underwent RM followed by a derecruitment test. After a repeat RM, bovine surfactant (surfactant group,n=6) or vehicle only (conventional therapy group,n=7) was instilled endobronchially. We registered respiratory and hemodynamic parameters, including extravascular lung water index (EVLWI).Results. The derecruitment test decreased the oxygenation in 62% of the patients. We found no significant correlation between the responses to the RM and to the derecruitment tests. The baseline EVLWI correlated with changes in SpO2following the derecruitment test. The surfactant did not affect gas exchange and lung mechanics but increased EVLWI at 24 and 32 hrs.Conclusions. Our study demonstrated no predictive value of the derecruitment test regarding the effects of RM. Surfactant instillation was not superior to conventional therapy and might even promote pulmonary edema in ALI.

Abstract
PURPOSE To measure the dynamics of recruitment and the hemodynamic status during a sustained inflation recruitment maneuver (RM) in order to determine the optimal duration of RM in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in a 12-bed intensive care unit (ICU) in a general hospital. A 40 cmH(2)O sustained inflation RM maintained for 30 s was performed in 50 sedated ventilated patients within the first 24 h of meeting ARDS criteria. Invasive arterial pressures, heart rate, and SpO(2) were measured at 10-s intervals during the RM. The volume increase during the RM was measured by integration of the flow required to maintain the pressure at 40 cmH(2)O, which provides an estimation of the volume recruited during the RM. Raw data were corrected for gas consumption and fitted with an exponential curve in order to determine an individual time constant for the volume increase. RESULTS The average volume increase and time constant were 210 ± 198 mL and 2.3 ± 1.3 s, respectively. Heart rate, diastolic arterial pressure, and SpO(2) did not change during or after the RM. Systolic and mean arterial pressures were maintained at 10 s, decreased significantly at 20 and 30 s during the RM, and recovered to the pre-RM value 30 s after the end of the RM (ANOVA, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In early-onset ARDS patients, most of the recruitment occurs during the first 10 s of a sustained inflation RM. However, hemodynamic impairment is significant after the tenth second of RM.

Abstract
Every year, more information accumulates about the possibility of treating patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome with specially designed mechanical ventilation strategies. Ventilator modes, positive end-expiratory pressure settings, and recruitment maneuvers play a major role in these strategies. However, what can we take from these experimental and clinical data to the clinical practice? In this article, we discuss substantial options of mechanical ventilation together with some adjunctive therapeutic measures, such as prone positioning and inhalation of nitric oxide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with and without a recruitment maneuver (RM) may have a significant impact on ventilator-induced lung injury but this issue has not been well addressed. METHODS Anesthetized rats received hydrochloric acid (HCl, pH 1.5) aspiration, followed by mechanical ventilation with a tidal volume of 6 ml/kg. The animals were randomized into four groups of 10 each: (1) high PEEP at 6 cm H(2)O with an RM by applying peak airway pressure at 30 cm H(2)O for 10 s every 15 min; (2) low PEEP at 2 cm H(2)O with RM; (3) high PEEP alone; and (4) low PEEP alone. RESULTS The mean arterial pressure and the amounts of fluid infused were similar in the four groups. Application of the higher PEEP improved oxygenation compared with the lower PEEP groups (P<0.05). The lung compliance was better reserved, and the systemic cytokine responses and lung wet to dry ratio were lower in the high PEEP than in the low PEEP group for a given RM (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The use of a combination of periodic RM and the higher PEEP had an additive effect in improving oxygenation and pulmonary mechanics and attenuation of inflammation.

Abstract
The concept of lung protective ventilation strategies is based on the limitation of the inspiratory pressure and the reduction of the tidal volume, in order to minimize the extent of breathing cycle-dependent damaging mechanisms from mechanical ventilation. This concept is coupled with various procedures for optimization of the end-expiratory lung volume in acute lung failure in order to improve the compromized oxygenation. In this situation high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) has achieved a renaissance. Theoretically this procedure offers advantages which differentiates it from conventional ventilation procedures. The system allows the use of a constant higher mean airway pressure, a reduction of the peak pressure and the use of a tidal volume in the dead-space area. Very little data exist with respect to the application of this procedure in adult patients. For the clinical use of HFOV as a secondary procedure in adult patients suffering from acute lung failure it could be demonstrated that it is a safe and effective method of treatment. The effect of HFVO on the morbidity and mortality outcome, however, still needs to be characterized.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the hypothesis, that systemic levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines may be affected by a single recruitment maneuver in mechanically ventilated patients. DESIGN Prospective, interventional clinical trial. SETTING Intensive care unit of a university hospital. PATIENTS Sixteen mechanically ventilated patients with clinical and radiological signs of atelectasis. INTERVENTIONS A single recruitment maneuver (RM) was performed by elevating the airway pressure to 40 cmH(2)O for 7s. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Plasmatic concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12p70 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), arterial blood gases and hemodynamic parameters were measured immediately before and 5-360 min after the RM. The RM caused a minor, nevertheless significant improvement of oxygenation (p = 0.02) and carbon dioxide elimination (p=0.006) as well as a moderate drop of the mean arterial pressure (p=0.025). In contrast, plasma concentrations remained unaffected by the RM in all six mediators measured. CONCLUSION A single inflation with an airway pressure of 40cmH(2)O for 7 s improved gas exchange only slightly and did not modify systemic levels of inflammatory mediators in mechanically ventilated patients with radiological evidence of atelectasis.

Abstract
Recruitment maneuvers have been proposed as an adjunct to mechanical ventilation to re-expand collapsed lung regions. Although, in most patients recruitment maneuvers improve gas exchange a controversial discussion on recruitment maneuvers remains. This article reviews the physiological and patho-physiological backgrounds of recruitment maneuvers. The different recruitment maneuvers and possible monitoring are discussed as well as the influence of recruitment on other organs. Furthermore, we discuss whether recruitment maneuvers are useful if patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome are ventilated with a lung-protective strategy.

Abstract
A literature review was conducted to assess the evidence for recruitment manoeuvres used in conventional mechanical positive pressure ventilation. A total of 61 studies on recruitment manoeuvres were identified: 13 experimental, 31 ICU, 6 PICU and 12 anaesthesia studies. Recruitment appears to be a continuous process during inspiration and expiration and is determined by peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). Single or repeated recruitment manoeuvres may result in a statistically significant increase in oxygenation; however, this is short lasting and clinically irrelevant, especially in late ARDS and pneumonia. Temporary PIP elevation may be effective but only after PEEP loss (for example disconnection and tracheal suctioning). Continuous PEEP elevation and prone positioning can increase P(a)O2 significantly. Adverse haemodynamic or barotrauma effects are reported in various studies. No data exist on the effect of recruitment manoeuvres on mortality, morbidity, length of stay or duration of mechanical ventilation. Although recruitment manoeuvres can improve oxygenation, they can potentially increase lung injury, which eventually determines outcome. Based on the presently available literature, prone position and sufficient PEEP as part of a lung protective ventilation strategy seem to be the safest and most effective recruitment manoeuvres. As paediatric physiology is essentially different from adult, paediatric studies are needed to determine the role of recruitment manoeuvres in the PICU.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is indispensable for the survival of patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, excessive tidal volumes and inadequate lung recruitment may contribute to mortality by causing ventilator-induced lung injury. This bench-to-bedside review presents the scientific rationale for using adjuncts to mechanical ventilation aimed at optimizing lung recruitment and preventing the deleterious consequences of reduced tidal volume. To enhance CO2 elimination when tidal volume is reduced, the following are possible: first, ventilator respiratory frequency can be increased without necessarily generating intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure; second, instrumental dead space can be reduced by replacing the heat and moisture exchanger with a conventional humidifier; and third, expiratory washout can be used for replacing the CO2-laden gas present at end expiration in the instrumental dead space by a fresh gas (this method is still experimental). For optimizing lung recruitment and preventing lung derecruitment there are the following possibilities: first, recruitment manoeuvres may be performed in the most hypoxaemic patients before implementing the preset positive end-expiratory pressure or after episodes of accidental lung derecruitment; second, the patient can be turned to the prone position; third, closed-circuit endotracheal suctioning is to be preferred to open endotracheal suctioning.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome of non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema associated with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, stiff lungs and refractory hypoxaemia. ARDS is characterized by an explosive acute inflammatory response in the lung parenchyma, leading to alveolar oedema, decreased lung compliance and, ultimately, hypoxaemia. Although our understanding of the causes and pathophysiology of ARDS has increased, the mortality rate remains in the range of 30-50%. No major advances in pharmacological therapy have been achieved. Mechanical ventilation is the main therapeutic intervention in the management of ARDS. The only approach that has been shown to reduce the inflammatory response and mortality is the use of lung-protective ventilatory strategy with a low tidal volume and high positive-end expiratory pressure. This chapter will review the current state of the literature on the pathogenesis of ARDS and ventilatory and pharmacotherapy approaches to its management.

Abstract
Acute lung injury remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in paediatric intensive care units. Research over the past decade has altered our understanding of the pathophysiology of acute lung injury and the effects of mechanical ventilation on the lung. As a result, approaches to conventional mechanical ventilation of the injured lung are now largely centred around preservation of adequate gas exchange while protecting the lung from further ventilator-induced lung injury. Current techniques for accomplishing these goals include adjusting the ventilator based on the measurement and interpretation of pressure-volume curves, limitation of inspiratory tidal volumes, use of elevated levels of positive end-expiratory pressure, recruiting manoeuvres and prone positioning. The currently available data regarding the efficacy and appropriate use of these techniques are reviewed.

Abstract
In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the lung comprises areas of aeration and areas of alveolar collapse, the latter producing intrapulmonary shunt and hypoxemia. The currently suggested strategy of ventilation with low lung volumes can aggravate lung collapse and potentially produce lung injury through shear stress at the interface between aerated and collapsed lung, and as a result of repetitive opening and closing of alveoli. An 'open lung strategy' focused on alveolar patency has therefore been recommended. While positive end-expiratory pressure prevents alveolar collapse, recruitment maneuvers can be used to achieve alveolar recruitment. Various recruitment maneuvers exist, including sustained inflation to high pressures, intermittent sighs, and stepwise increases in positive end-expiratory pressure or peak inspiratory pressure. In animal studies, recruitment maneuvers clearly reverse the derecruitment associated with low tidal volume ventilation, improve gas exchange, and reduce lung injury. Data regarding the use of recruitment maneuvers in patients with ARDS show mixed results, with increased efficacy in those with short duration of ARDS, good compliance of the chest wall, and in extrapulmonary ARDS. In this review we discuss the pathophysiologic basis for the use of recruitment maneuvers and recent evidence, as well as the practical application of the technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigation of oxygenation and lung aeration during mechanical ventilation according to the open lung concept in patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING Surgical intensive care unit of a university hospital. PATIENTS We retrospectively identified 17 patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome due to pulmonary contusion who had thoracic helical computed tomography scans before and after ventilation with the open lung concept. INTERVENTIONS Baseline ventilation consisted of low tidal volumes (< or =6 mL/kg) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP; 5-17 cm H2O). We briefly applied high inspiratory pressures for opening up collapsed alveoli. External PEEP and intrinsic PEEP were combined to keep recruited lung units open. We generated intrinsic PEEP by pressure-cycled high-frequency inverse ratio ventilation (80 min, inspiratory/expiratory ratio 2:1) and maintained our ventilatory strategy for 24 hrs. Then, after reducing total PEEP by decreasing respiratory rate, Pao2/Fio2 ratio was reevaluated. If it remained >300 mm Hg, weaning was started. If not, previous ventilator settings were resumed for another 24 hrs after recruiting the lungs once again. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Physiologic variables and ventilator settings were obtained from routine charts. Data from computed tomography before and after the open lung concept were analyzed for volumetric quantification of lung aeration and collapse. All results are presented as median and range. During baseline ventilation, PEEP was 10 (range, 5-17) cm H2O and after recruitment 21 (range, 18-26) cm H2O. Opening pressures were 65 (range, 50-80) cm H2O. After recruitment, Pao2/Fio2 ratio was higher in all patients. Total lung volume increased from 2915 (range, 1952-4941) to 4247 (range, 2285-6355) mL and normally aerated volume from 1742 (range, 774-2941) to 2971 (range, 1270-5232) mL. Atelectasis decreased significantly from 604 (range, 147-1538) to 106 (range, 0-736) mL. Hyperinflation increased significantly from 5 (range, 0-188) to 62 (range, 1-424) mL, whereas poor aeration did not change substantially from 649 (range, 302-1292) to 757 (range, 350-1613) mL. No hemodynamic problems occurred. CONCLUSIONS Lung recruitment increased arterial oxygenation, normally aerated lung volume, and total lung volume while decreasing the amount of collapsed tissue. These results indicate that the open lung concept is a reasonable mode of ventilation for patients with severe chest trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung protective ventilation using low end-inspiratory pressures and tidal volumes (VT) has been shown to impair alveolar recruitment and to promote derecruitment in acute lung injury. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of two different end-inspiratory pressure levels on alveolar recruitment, alveolar derecruitment and potential overdistention at incremental levels of positive end-expiratory pressure. METHODS Sixteen adult sheep were randomized to be ventilated with a peak inspiratory pressure of either 35 cm H2O (P35, low VT) or 45 cm H2O (P45, high VT) after saline washout-induced lung injury. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was increased in a stepwise manner from zero (ZEEP) to 7, 14 and 21 cm of H2O in hourly intervals. Tidal volume, initially set to 12 ml kg(-1), was reduced according to the pressure limits. Computed tomographic scans during end-expiratory and end-inspiratory hold were performed along with hemodynamic and respiratory measurements at each level of PEEP. RESULTS Tidal volumes for the two groups (P35/P45) were: 7.7 +/- 0.9/11.2 +/- 1.3 ml kg(-1) (ZEEP), 7.9 +/- 2.1/11.3 +/- 1.3 ml kg(-1) (PEEP 7 cm H2O), 8.3 +/- 2.5/11.6 +/- 1.4 ml kg(-1) (PEEP 14 cm H2O) and 6.5 +/- 1.7/11.0 +/- 1.6 ml kg(-1) (PEEP 21 cm H2O); P < 0.001 for differences between the two groups. Absolute nonaerated lung volumes during end-expiration and end-inspiration showed no difference between the two groups for given levels of PEEP, while tidal-induced changes in nonaerated lung volume (termed cyclic alveolar instability, CAI) were larger in the P45 group at low levels of PEEP. The decrease in nonaerated lung volume was significant for PEEP 14 and 21 cm H2O in both groups compared with ZEEP (P < 0.005). Over-inflated lung volumes, although small, were significantly higher in the P45 group. Significant respiratory acidosis was noted in the P35 group despite increases in the respiratory rate. CONCLUSION Limiting peak inspiratory pressure and VT does not impair alveolar recruitment or promote derecruitment when using sufficient levels of PEEP.
