Abstract
Kidney response to acute and mechanically induced variation in ventilation associated with different levels of PEEP has not been investigated. We aimed to quantify the effect of ventilatory settings on renal acid-base compensation. Forty-one pigs undergoing hypo- (<0.2 Lkg-1 min-1, PEEP 25 cmH2O), intermediate (0.2-0.4 Lkg-1 min-1 with either PEEP 5 or 25 cmH2O), or hyper-ventilation (>0.4 Lkg-1 min-1, PEEP 5 cmH2O) for 48 h were retrospectively included. The decrease in pH paralleled the decrease in plasma strong ion difference (SID) in hyper- and intermediately ventilated groups with lower PEEP. In contrast, the plasma SID remained nearly constant in hypo- and intermediately ventilated groups with higher PEEP. Changes in plasma chloride concentration accounted for the changes in plasma SID (conditional R2 = 0.86). The plasma SID changes were paralleled by mirror changes in urinary SID. Higher PEEP (25 cmH2O), compared to lower PEEP (5 cmH2O) dampened or abolished the renal compensation through its effect on hemodynamics (higher central venous and mean pulmonary pressures), irrespective of minute ventilation. During mechanical ventilation, the compensatory renal response to respiratory derangement is immediate and progressive but can be dampened by high PEEP levels.

Abstract
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.

Mechanical power ratio threshold for ventilator-induced lung injury. Intensive Care Med Exp 2024; 12:65.

Abstract
RATIONALE Mechanical power (MP) is a summary variable incorporating all causes of ventilator-induced-lung-injury (VILI). We expressed MP as the ratio between observed and normal expected values (MPratio). OBJECTIVE To define a threshold value of MPratio leading to the development of VILI. METHODS In a population of 82 healthy pigs, a threshold of MPratio for VILI, as assessed by histological variables and confirmed by using unsupervised cluster analysis was 4.5. The population was divided into two groups with MPratio above or below the threshold. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We measured physiological variables every six hours. At the end of the experiment, we measured lung weight and wet-to-dry ratio to quantify edema. Histological samples were analyzed for alveolar ruptures, inflammation, alveolar edema, atelectasis. An MPratio threshold of 4.5 was associated with worse injury, lung weight, wet-to-dry ratio and fluid balance (all p < 0.001). After 48 h, in the two MPratio clusters (above or below 4.5), respiratory system elastance, mean pulmonary artery pressure and physiological dead space differed by 32%, 36% and 22%, respectively (all p < 0.001), being worse in the high MPratio group. Also, the changes in driving pressure, lung elastance, pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, central venous pressure differed by 17%, 64%, 8%, 25%, respectively (all p < 0.001). LIMITATIONS The main limitation of this study is its retrospective design. In addition, the computation for the expected MP in pigs is based on arbitrary criteria. Different values of expected MP may change the absolute value of MP ratio but will not change the concept of the existence of an injury threshold. CONCLUSIONS The concept of MPratio is a physiological and intuitive way to quantify the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury. Our results suggest that a mechanical power ratio > 4.5 MPratio in healthy lungs subjected to 48 h of mechanical ventilation appears to be a threshold for the development of ventilator-induced lung injury, as indicated by the convergence of histological, physiological, and anatomical alterations. In humans and in lungs that are already injured, this threshold is likely to be different.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical power (MP), the rate of mechanical energy (ME) delivery, is a recently introduced unifying ventilator parameter consisting of tidal volume, airway pressures, and respiratory rates, which predicts pulmonary complications in several clinical contexts. However, ME has not been previously studied in the perioperative context, and neither parameter has been studied in the context of thoracic surgery utilizing one-lung ventilation. METHODS The relationships between ME variables and postoperative pulmonary complications were evaluated in this post hoc analysis of data from a multicenter randomized clinical trial of lung resection surgery conducted between 2020 and 2021 (n = 1,170). Time-weighted average MP and ME (the area under the MP time curve) were obtained for individual patients. The primary analysis was the association of time-weighted average MP and ME with pulmonary complications within 7 postoperative days. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine the relationships between energy variables and the primary outcome. RESULTS In 1,055 patients analyzed, pulmonary complications occurred in 41% (431 of 1,055). The median (interquartile ranges) ME and time-weighted average MP in patients who developed postoperative pulmonary complications versus those who did not were 1,146 (811 to 1,530) J versus 924 (730 to 1,240) J (P < 0.001), and 6.9 (5.5 to 8.7) J/min versus 6.7 (5.2 to 8.5) J/min (P = 0.091), respectively. ME was independently associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (ORadjusted, 1.44 [95% CI, 1.16 to 1.80]; P = 0.001). However, the association between time-weighted average MP and postoperative pulmonary complications was time-dependent, and time-weighted average MP was significantly associated with postoperative pulmonary complications in cases utilizing longer periods of mechanical ventilation (210 min or greater; ORadjusted, 1.46 [95% CI, 1.11 to 1.93]; P = 0.007). Normalization of ME and time-weighted average MP either to predicted body weight or to respiratory system compliance did not alter these associations. CONCLUSIONS ME and, in cases requiring longer periods of mechanical ventilation, MP were independently associated with postoperative pulmonary complications in thoracic surgery. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
BACKGROUND The individual components of mechanical ventilation may have distinct effects on kidney perfusion and on the risk of developing acute kidney injury; we aimed to explore ventilatory predictors of acute kidney failure and the hemodynamic changes consequent to experimental high-power mechanical ventilation. METHODS Secondary analysis of two animal studies focused on the outcomes of different mechanical power settings, including 78 pigs mechanically ventilated with high mechanical power for 48 h. The animals were categorized in four groups in accordance with the RIFLE criteria for acute kidney injury (AKI), using the end-experimental creatinine: (1) NO AKI: no increase in creatinine; (2) RIFLE 1-Risk: increase of creatinine of > 50%; (3) RIFLE 2-Injury: two-fold increase of creatinine; (4) RIFLE 3-Failure: three-fold increase of creatinine; RESULTS: The main ventilatory parameter associated with AKI was the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) component of mechanical power. At 30 min from the initiation of high mechanical power ventilation, the heart rate and the pulmonary artery pressure progressively increased from group NO AKI to group RIFLE 3. At 48 h, the hemodynamic variables associated with AKI were the heart rate, cardiac output, mean perfusion pressure (the difference between mean arterial and central venous pressures) and central venous pressure. Linear regression and receiving operator characteristic analyses showed that PEEP-induced changes in mean perfusion pressure (mainly due to an increase in CVP) had the strongest association with AKI. CONCLUSIONS In an experimental setting of ventilation with high mechanical power, higher PEEP had the strongest association with AKI. The most likely physiological determinant of AKI was an increase of pleural pressure and CVP with reduced mean perfusion pressure. These changes resulted from PEEP per se and from increase in fluid administration to compensate for hemodynamic impairment consequent to high PEEP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prone positioning (PP) homogenizes ventilation distribution and may limit ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The static and dynamic components of ventilation that may cause VILI have been aggregated in mechanical power, considered a unifying driver of VILI. PP may affect mechanical power components differently due to changes in respiratory mechanics; however, the effects of PP on lung mechanical power components are unclear. This study aimed to compare the following parameters during supine positioning (SP) and PP: lung total elastic power and its components (elastic static power and elastic dynamic power) and these variables normalized to end-expiratory lung volume (EELV). METHODS This prospective physiologic study included 55 patients with moderate to severe ARDS. Lung total elastic power and its static and dynamic components were compared during SP and PP using an esophageal pressure-guided ventilation strategy. In SP, the esophageal pressure-guided ventilation strategy was further compared with an oxygenation-guided ventilation strategy defined as baseline SP. The primary endpoint was the effect of PP on lung total elastic power non-normalized and normalized to EELV. Secondary endpoints were the effects of PP and ventilation strategies on lung elastic static and dynamic power components non-normalized and normalized to EELV, respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, and hemodynamic parameters. RESULTS Lung total elastic power (median [interquartile range]) was lower during PP compared with SP (6.7 [4.9-10.6] versus 11.0 [6.6-14.8] J/min; P < 0.001) non-normalized and normalized to EELV (3.2 [2.1-5.0] versus 5.3 [3.3-7.5] J/min/L; P < 0.001). Comparing PP with SP, transpulmonary pressures and EELV did not significantly differ despite lower positive end-expiratory pressure and plateau airway pressure, thereby reducing non-normalized and normalized lung elastic static power in PP. PP improved gas exchange, cardiac output, and increased oxygen delivery compared with SP. CONCLUSIONS In patients with moderate to severe ARDS, PP reduced lung total elastic and elastic static power compared with SP regardless of EELV normalization because comparable transpulmonary pressures and EELV were achieved at lower airway pressures. This resulted in improved gas exchange, hemodynamics, and oxygen delivery. TRIAL REGISTRATION German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00017449).

Abstract
PURPOSE Ultraprotective ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) reduces mechanical power (MP) through changes in positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP); however, the optimal approach to titrate PEEP is unknown. This study assesses the effects of three PEEP titration strategies on MP, hemodynamic parameters, and oxygen delivery in twenty ARDS patients with VV ECMO. MATERIAL AND METHODS PEEP was titrated according to: (A) a PEEP of 10 cmH2O representing the lowest recommendation by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (PEEPELSO), (B) the highest static compliance of the respiratory system (PEEPCstat,RS), and (C) a target end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure of 0 cmH2O (PEEPPtpexp). RESULTS PEEPELSO was lower compared to PEEPCstat,RS and PEEPPtpexp (10.0 ± 0.0 vs. 16.2 ± 4.7 cmH2O and 17.3 ± 4.0 cmH2O, p < 0.001 each, respectively). PEEPELSO reduced MP compared to PEEPCstat,RS and PEEPPtpexp (5.3 ± 1.3 vs. 6.8 ± 2.0 and 6.9 ± 2.3 J/min, p < 0.001 each, respectively). PEEPELSO resulted in less lung stress compared to PEEPCstat,RS (p = 0.011) and PEEPPtpexp (p < 0.001) and increased cardiac output and oxygen delivery (p < 0.001 each). CONCLUSIONS An empirical PEEP of 10 cmH2O minimized MP, provided favorable hemodynamics, and increased oxygen delivery in ARDS patients treated with VV ECMO.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lung weight is an important study endpoint to assess lung edema in porcine experiments on acute respiratory distress syndrome and ventilatory induced lung injury. Evidence on the relationship between lung-body weight relationship is lacking in the literature. The aim of this work is to provide a reference equation between normal lung and body weight in female domestic piglets. MATERIALS AND METHODS 177 healthy female domestic piglets from previous studies were included in the analysis. Lung weight was assessed either via a CT-scan before any experimental injury or with a scale after autopsy. The animals were randomly divided in a training (n = 141) and a validation population (n = 36). The relation between body weight and lung weight index (lung weight/body weight, g/kg) was described by an exponential function on the training population. The equation was tested on the validation population. A Bland-Altman analysis was performed to compare the lung weight index in the validation population and its theoretical value calculated with the reference equation. RESULTS A good fit was found between the validation population and the exponential equation extracted from the training population (RMSE = 0.060). The equation to determine lung weight index from body weight was: [Formula: see text] At the Bland and Altman analyses, the mean bias between the real and the expected lung weight index was - 0.26 g/kg (95% CI - 0.96-0.43), upper LOA 3.80 g/kg [95% CI 2.59-5.01], lower LOA - 4.33 g/kg [95% CI = - 5.54-(- 3.12)]. CONCLUSIONS This exponential function might be a valuable tool to assess lung edema in experiments involving 16-50 kg female domestic piglets. The error that can be made due to the 95% confidence intervals of the formula is smaller than the one made considering the lung to body weight as a linear relationship.

Abstract
Monitoring the patient receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is challenging due to the complex physiological interplay between native and membrane lung. Understanding these interactions is essential to understand the utility and limitations of different approaches to respiratory monitoring during ECMO. We present a summary of the underlying physiology of native and membrane lung gas exchange and describe different tools for titrating and monitoring gas exchange during ECMO. However, the most important role of VV ECMO in severe respiratory failure is as a means of avoiding further ergotrauma. Although optimal respiratory management during ECMO has not been defined, over the last decade there have been advances in multimodal respiratory assessment which have the potential to guide care. We describe a combination of imaging, ventilator-derived or invasive lung mechanic assessments as a means to individualise management during ECMO.

Abstract
Mechanical power can describe the complex interaction between the respiratory system and the ventilator and may predict lung injury or pulmonary complications, but the power associated with injury of healthy human lungs is unknown. Body habitus and surgical conditions may alter mechanical power but the effects have not been measured. In a secondary analysis of an observational study of obesity and lung mechanics during robotic laparoscopic surgery, we comprehensively quantified the static elastic, dynamic elastic, and resistive energies comprising mechanical power of ventilation. We stratified by body mass index (BMI) and examined power at four surgical stages: level after intubation, with pneumoperitoneum, in Trendelenburg, and level after releasing the pneumoperitoneum. Esophageal manometry was used to estimate transpulmonary pressures. Mechanical power of ventilation and its bioenergetic components increased over BMI categories. Respiratory system and lung power were nearly doubled in subjects with class 3 obesity compared with lean at all stages. Power dissipated into the respiratory system was increased with class 2 or 3 obesity compared with lean. Increased power of ventilation was associated with decreasing transpulmonary pressures. Body habitus is a prime determinant of increased intraoperative mechanical power. Obesity and surgical conditions increase the energies dissipated into the respiratory system during ventilation. The observed elevations in power may be related to tidal recruitment or atelectasis, and point to specific energetic features of mechanical ventilation of patients with obesity that may be controlled with individualized ventilator settings.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Mechanical power describes the complex interaction between a patient's lungs and the ventilator and may be useful in predicting lung injury. However, its behavior in obesity and during dynamic surgical conditions is not understood. We comprehensively quantified ventilation bioenergetics and effects of body habitus and common surgical conditions. These data show body habitus is a prime determinant of intraoperative mechanical power and provide quantitative context for future translation toward a useful perioperative prognostic measurement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical power is a major contributor to lung injury and mortality in adults receiving mechanical ventilation. Recent advances in our understanding of mechanical power have allowed the different mechanical components to be isolated. The preterm lung shares many of the same similarities that would indicate mechanical power may be relevant in this group. To date, the role of mechanical power in neonatal lung injury is unknown. We hypothesise that mechanical power maybe useful in expanding our understanding of preterm lung disease. Specifically, that mechanical power measures may account for gaps in knowledge in how lung injury is initiated. HYPOTHESIS-GENERATING DATA SET To provide a justification for our hypothesis, data in a repository at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Melbourne (Australia) were re-analysed. 16 preterm lambs 124-127d gestation (term 145d) who received 90 min of standardised positive pressure ventilation from birth via a cuffed endotracheal tube were chosen as each was exposed to three distinct and clinically relevant respiratory states with unique mechanics. These were (1) the respiratory transition to air-breathing from an entirely fluid-filled lung (rapid aeration and fall in resistance); (2) commencement of tidal ventilation in an acutely surfactant-deficient state (low compliance) and (3) exogenous surfactant therapy (improved aeration and compliance). Total, tidal, resistive and elastic-dynamic mechanical power were calculated from the flow, pressure and volume signals (200 Hz) for each inflation. RESULTS All components of mechanical power behaved as expected for each state. Mechanical power increased during lung aeration from birth to 5 min, before again falling immediately after surfactant therapy. Before surfactant therapy tidal power contributed 70% of total mechanical power, and 53.7% after. The contribution of resistive power was greatest at birth, demonstrating the initial high respiratory system resistance at birth. CONCLUSIONS In our hypothesis-generating dataset, changes in mechanical power were evident during clinically important states for the preterm lung, specifically transition to air-breathing, changes in aeration and surfactant administration. Future preclinical studies using ventilation strategies designed to highlight different types of lung injury, including volu-, baro- and ergotrauma, are needed to test our hypothesis.

Abstract
At the bedside, assessing the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) requires parameters readily measured by the clinician. For this purpose, driving pressure (DP) and end-inspiratory static 'plateau' pressure ([Formula: see text]) of the tidal cycle are unquestionably useful but lack key information relating to associated volume changes and cumulative strain. 'Mechanical power', a clinical term which incorporates all dissipated ('non-elastic') and conserved ('elastic') energy components of inflation, has drawn considerable interest as a comprehensive 'umbrella' variable that accounts for the influence of ventilating frequency per minute as well as the energy cost per tidal cycle. Yet, like the raw values of DP and [Formula: see text], the absolute levels of energy and power by themselves may not carry sufficiently precise information to guide safe ventilatory practice. In previous work we introduced the concept of 'damaging energy per cycle'. Here we describe how-if only in concept-the bedside clinician might gauge the theoretical hazard of delivered energy using easily observed static circuit pressures ([Formula: see text] and positive end expiratory pressure) and an estimate of the maximally tolerated (threshold) non-dissipated ('elastic') airway pressure that reflects the pressure component applied to the alveolar tissues. Because its core inputs are already in use and familiar in daily practice, the simplified mathematical model we propose here for damaging energy and power may promote deeper comprehension of the key factors in play to improve lung protective ventilation.

Abstract
The current ARDS guidelines highly recommend lung protective ventilation which include plateau pressure (Pplat < 30 cm H2O), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP > 5 cm H2O) and tidal volume (Vt of 6 ml/kg) of predicted body weight. In contrast, the ELSO guidelines suggest the evaluation of an indication of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to hypoxemic or hypercapnic respiratory failure or as bridge to lung transplantation. Finally, these recommendations remain a wide range of scope of interpretation. However, particularly patients with moderate-severe to severe ARDS might benefit from strict adherence to lung protective ventilation strategies. Subsequently, we discuss whether extended physiological ventilation parameter analysis might be relevant for indication of ECMO support and can be implemented during the daily routine evaluation of ARDS patients. Particularly, this viewpoint focus on driving pressure and mechanical power.

Abstract
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) has an established evidence base in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has seen exponential growth in its use over the past decades. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the approach to weaning, with variation of practice and outcomes between centres. Preconditions for weaning, management of patients' sedation and mechanical ventilation during this phase, criteria defining success or failure, and the optimal duration of a trial prior to decannulation are all debated subjects. Moreover, there is no prospective evidence demonstrating the superiority of weaning the sweep gas flow (SGF), the extracorporeal blood flow (ECBF) or the fraction of oxygen of the SGF (FdO2), thereby a broad inter-centre variability exists in this regard. Accordingly, the aim of this review is to discuss the required physiological basis to interpret different weaning approaches: first, we will outline the physiological changes in blood gases which should be expected from manipulations of ECBF, SGF and FdO2. Subsequently, we will describe the resulting adaptation of patients' control of breathing, with special reference to the effects of weaning on respiratory effort. Finally, we will discuss pertinent elements of the monitoring and mechanical ventilation of passive and spontaneously breathing patients during a weaning trial. Indeed, to avoid lung injury, invasive monitoring is often required in patients making spontaneous effort, as pressures measured at the airway may not reflect the degree of lung strain. In the absence of evidence, our approach to weaning is driven largely by an understanding of physiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Airway driving pressure, easily measured as plateau pressure minus PEEP, is a surrogate for alveolar stress and strain. However, the effect of its targeted reduction remains unclear. METHODS In this multicentre trial, patients undergoing lung resection surgery were randomised to either a driving pressure group (n=650) receiving an alveolar recruitment/individualised PEEP to deliver the lowest driving pressure or to a conventional protective ventilation group (n=650) with fixed PEEP of 5 cm H2O. The primary outcome was a composite of pulmonary complications within 7 days postoperatively. RESULTS The modified intention-to-treat analysis included 1170 patients (mean [standard deviation, sd]; age, 63 [10] yr; 47% female). The mean driving pressure was 7.1 cm H2O in the driving pressure group vs 9.2 cm H2O in the protective ventilation group (mean difference [95% confidence interval, CI]; -2.1 [-2.4 to -1.9] cm H2O; P<0.001). The incidence of pulmonary complications was not different between the two groups: driving pressure group (233/576, 40.5%) vs protective ventilation group (254/594, 42.8%) (risk difference -2.3%; 95% CI, -8.0% to 3.3%; P=0.42). Intraoperatively, lung compliance (mean [sd], 42.7 [12.4] vs 33.5 [11.1] ml cm H2O-1; P<0.001) and Pao2 (median [inter-quartile range], 21.5 [14.5 to 30.4] vs 19.5 [13.5 to 29.1] kPa; P=0.03) were higher and the need for rescue ventilation was less frequent (6.8% vs 10.8%; P=0.02) in the driving pressure group. CONCLUSIONS In lung resection surgery, a driving pressure-guided ventilation improved pulmonary mechanics intraoperatively, but did not reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications compared with a conventional protective ventilation.

Accuracy of calculating mechanical power of ventilation by one commonly used equation. J Clin Monit Comput 2022; 36:1753-1759. [PMID: 35426575 PMCID: PMC9637605 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-022-00823-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Gattinoni's equation, [Formula: see text], now commonly used to calculate the mechanical power (MP) of ventilation. However, it calculates only inspiratory MP. In addition, the inclusion of PEEP in Gattinoni's equation raises debate because PEEP does not produce net displacement or contribute to MP. Measuring the area within the pressure-volume loop accurately reflects the MP received in a whole ventilation cycle and the MP thus obtained is not influenced by PEEP. The MP of 25 invasively ventilated patients were calculated by Gattinoni's equation and measured by integration of the areas within the pressure-volume loops of the ventilation cycles. The MP obtained from both methods were compared. The effects of PEEPs on MP were also evaluated. We found that the MP obtained from both methods were correlated by R2 = 0.75 and 0.66 at PEEP 5 and 10 cmH2O, respectively. The biases of the two methods were 3.13 (2.03 to 4.23) J/min (P < 0.0001) and - 1.23 (- 2.22 to - 0.24) J/min (P = 0.02) at PEEP 5 and 10 cmH2O, respectively. These P values suggested that both methods were significantly incongruent. When the tidal volume used was 6 ml/Kg, the MP by Gattinoni's equation at PEEP 5 and 10 cmH2O were significantly different (4.51 vs 7.21 J/min, P < 0.001), but the MP by PV loop area was not influenced by PEEPs (6.46 vs 6.47 J/min, P = 0.331). Similar results were observed across all tidal volumes. We conclude that the Gattinoni's equation is not accurate in calculating the MP of a whole ventilatory cycle and is significantly influenced by PEEP, which theoretically does not contribute to MP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of mechanical power and its components on mechanical ventilation for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2; identify the values of the mechanical ventilation components and verify their correlations with each other and with the mechanical power and effects on the result of the Gattinoni-S and Giosa formulas. METHODS This was an observational, longitudinal, analytical and quantitative study of respirator and mechanical power parameters in patients with SARS-CoV-2. RESULTS The mean mechanical power was 26.9J/minute (Gattinoni-S) and 30.3 J/minute (Giosa). The driving pressure was 14.4cmH2O, the plateau pressure was 26.5cmH2O, the positive end-expiratory pressure was 12.1cmH2O, the elastance was 40.6cmH2O/L, the tidal volume was 0.36L, and the respiratory rate was 32 breaths/minute. The correlation between the Gattinoni and Giosa formulas was 0.98, with a bias of -3.4J/minute and a difference in the correlation of the resistance pressure of 0.39 (Gattinoni) and 0.24 (Giosa). Among the components, the correlations between elastance and driving pressure (0.88), positive end-expiratory pressure (-0.54) and tidal volume (-0.44) stood out. CONCLUSION In the analysis of mechanical ventilation for patients with SARS-CoV-2, it was found that the correlations of its components with mechanical power influenced its high momentary values and and that the correlations of its components with each other influenced their behavior throughout the study period. Because they have specific effects on the Gatinnoni-S and Giosa formulas, the mechanical ventilation components influenced their calculations and caused divergence in the mechanical power values.

Abstract
The extent of ventilator-induced lung injury may be related to the intensity of mechanical ventilation--expressed as mechanical power. In the present study, we investigated whether there is a safe threshold, below which lung damage is absent. Three groups of six healthy pigs (29.5 ± 2.5 kg) were ventilated prone for 48 h at mechanical power of 3, 7, or 12 J/min. Strain never exceeded 1.0. PEEP was set at 4 cmH2 O. Lung volumes were measured every 12 h; respiratory, hemodynamics, and gas exchange variables every 6. End-experiment histological findings were compared with a control group of eight pigs which did not undergo mechanical ventilation. Functional residual capacity decreased by 10.4% ± 10.6% and 8.1% ± 12.1% in the 7 J and 12 J groups (p = 0.017, p < 0.001) but not in the 3 J group (+1.7% ± 17.7%, p = 0.941). In 3 J group, lung elastance, PaO2 and PaCO2 were worse compared to 7 J and 12 J groups (all p < 0.001), due to lower ventilation-perfusion ratio (0.54 ± 0.13, 1.00 ± 0.25, 1.78 ± 0.36 respectively, p < 0.001). The lung weight was lower (p < 0.001) in the controls (6.56 ± 0.90 g/kg) compared to 3, 7, and 12 J groups (12.9 ± 3.0, 16.5 ± 2.9, and 15.0 ± 4.1 g/kg, respectively). The wet-to-dry ratio was 5.38 ± 0.26 in controls, 5.73 ± 0.52 in 3 J, 5.99 ± 0.38 in 7 J, and 6.13 ± 0.59 in 12 J group (p = 0.03). Vascular congestion was more extensive in the 7 J and 12 J compared to 3 J and control groups. Mechanical ventilation (with anesthesia/paralysis) increase lung weight, and worsen lung histology, regardless of the mechanical power. Ventilating at 3 J/min led to better anatomical variables than at 7 and 12 J/min but worsened the physiological values.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lung damage during mechanical ventilation involves lung volume and alveolar water content, and lung ultrasound (LUS) and electrical impedance tomography changes are related to these variables. We investigated whether these techniques may detect any signal modification during the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). DESIGN Experimental animal study. SETTING Experimental Department of a University Hospital. SUBJECTS Forty-two female pigs (24.2 ± 2.0 kg). INTERVENTIONS The animals were randomized into three groups (n = 14): high tidal volume (TV) (mean TV, 803.0 ± 121.7 mL), high respiratory rate (RR) (mean RR, 40.3 ± 1.1 beats/min), and high positive-end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) (mean PEEP, 24.0 ± 1.1 cm H2O). The study lasted 48 hours. At baseline and at 30 minutes, and subsequently every 6 hours, we recorded extravascular lung water, end-expiratory lung volume, lung strain, respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, and gas exchange. At the same time-point, end-expiratory impedance was recorded relatively to the baseline. LUS was assessed every 12 hours in 12 fields, each scoring from 0 (presence of A-lines) to 3 (consolidation). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS In a multiple regression model, the ratio between extravascular lung water and end-expiratory lung volume was significantly associated with the LUS total score (p < 0.002; adjusted R2, 0.21). The variables independently associated with the end-expiratory difference in lung impedance were lung strain (p < 0.001; adjusted R2, 0.18) and extravascular lung water (p < 0.001; adjusted R2, 0.11). CONCLUSIONS Data suggest as follows. First, what determines the LUS score is the ratio between water and gas and not water alone. Therefore, caution is needed when an improvement of LUS score follows a variation of the lung gas content, as after a PEEP increase. Second, what determines the end-expiratory difference in lung impedance is the strain level that may disrupt the intercellular junction, therefore altering lung impedance. In addition, the increase in extravascular lung water during VILI development contributed to the observed decrease in impedance.

Abstract
Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) may initiate or worsen lung injury, so-called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Although different mechanisms of VILI have been identified, research mainly focused on single ventilator parameters. The mechanical power (MP) summarizes the potentially damaging effects of different parameters in one single variable and has been shown to be associated with lung damage. However, to date, the association of MP with pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation, as assessed by positron-emission tomography (PET), has not been prospectively investigated in a model of clinically relevant ventilation settings yet. We hypothesized that the degree of neutrophilic inflammation correlates with MP. Methods: Eight female juvenile pigs were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated. Lung injury was induced by repetitive lung lavages followed by initial PET and computed tomography (CT) scans. Animals were then ventilated according to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) network recommendations, using the lowest combinations of positive end-expiratory pressure and inspiratory oxygen fraction that allowed adequate oxygenation. Ventilator settings were checked and adjusted hourly. Physiological measurements were conducted every 6 h. Lung imaging was repeated 24 h after first PET/CT before animals were killed. Pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation was assessed by normalized uptake rate of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (KiS), and its difference between the two PET/CT was calculated (ΔKiS). Lung aeration was assessed by lung CT scan. MP was calculated from the recorded pressure-volume curve. Statistics included the Wilcoxon tests and non-parametric Spearman correlation. Results: Normalized 18F-FDG uptake rate increased significantly from first to second PET/CT (p = 0.012). ΔKiS significantly correlated with median MP (ρ = 0.738, p = 0.037) and its elastic and resistive components, but neither with median peak, plateau, end-expiratory, driving, and transpulmonary driving pressures, nor respiratory rate (RR), elastance, or resistance. Lung mass and volume significantly decreased, whereas relative mass of hyper-aerated lung compartment increased after 24 h (p = 0.012, p = 0.036, and p = 0.025, respectively). Resistance and PaCO2 were significantly higher (p = 0.012 and p = 0.017, respectively), whereas RR, end-expiratory pressure, and MP were lower at 18 h compared to start of intervention. Conclusions: In this model of experimental acute lung injury in pigs, pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation evaluated by PET/CT increased after 24 h of MV, and correlated with MP.

Abstract
Background: Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) via respiratory mechanics is deeply interwoven with hemodynamic, kidney and fluid/electrolyte changes. We aimed to assess the role of positive fluid balance in the framework of ventilation-induced lung injury. Methods:Post-hoc analysis of seventy-eight pigs invasively ventilated for 48 h with mechanical power ranging from 18 to 137 J/min and divided into two groups: high vs. low pleural pressure (10.0 ± 2.8 vs. 4.4 ± 1.5 cmH2O; p < 0.01). Respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, fluid, sodium and osmotic balances, were assessed at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48 h. Sodium distribution between intracellular, extracellular and non-osmotic sodium storage compartments was estimated assuming osmotic equilibrium. Lung weight, wet-to-dry ratios of lung, kidney, liver, bowel and muscle were measured at the end of the experiment. Results: High pleural pressure group had significant higher cardiac output (2.96 ± 0.92 vs. 3.41 ± 1.68 L/min; p < 0.01), use of norepinephrine/epinephrine (1.76 ± 3.31 vs. 5.79 ± 9.69 mcg/kg; p < 0.01) and total fluid infusions (3.06 ± 2.32 vs. 4.04 ± 3.04 L; p < 0.01). This hemodynamic status was associated with significantly increased sodium and fluid retention (at 48 h, respectively, 601.3 ± 334.7 vs. 1073.2 ± 525.9 mmol, p < 0.01; and 2.99 ± 2.54 vs. 6.66 ± 3.87 L, p < 0.01). Ten percent of the infused sodium was stored in an osmotically inactive compartment. Increasing fluid and sodium retention was positively associated with lung-weight (R2 = 0.43, p < 0.01; R2 = 0.48, p < 0.01) and with wet-to-dry ratio of the lungs (R2 = 0.14, p < 0.01; R2 = 0.18, p < 0.01) and kidneys (R2 = 0.11, p = 0.02; R2 = 0.12, p = 0.01). Conclusion: Increased mechanical power and pleural pressures dictated an increase in hemodynamic support resulting in proportionally increased sodium and fluid retention and pulmonary edema.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is still necessary in many surgical procedures; nonetheless, intraoperative MV is not free from harmful effects. Protective ventilation strategies, which include the combination of low tidal volume and adequate positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels, are usually adopted to minimize the ventilation-induced lung injury and to avoid post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Even so, volutrauma and atelectrauma may co-exist at different levels of tidal volume and PEEP, and therefore, the physiological response to the MV settings should be monitored in each patient. A personalized perioperative approach is gaining relevance in the field of intraoperative MV; in particular, many efforts have been made to individualize PEEP, giving more emphasis on physiological and functional status to the whole body. In this review, we summarized the latest findings about the optimization of PEEP and intraoperative MV in different surgical settings. Starting from a physiological point of view, we described how to approach the individualized MV and monitor the effects of MV on lung function.

Abstract
Rationale: Understanding the physiology of CO2 stores mobilization is a prerequisite for intermittent extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) in patients with chronic hypercapnia.Objectives: To describe the dynamics of CO2 stores.Methods: Fifteen pigs (61.7 ± 4.3 kg) were randomized to 48 hours of hyperventilation (group "Hyper," n = 4); 48 hours of hypoventilation (group "Hypo," n = 4); 24 hours of hypoventilation plus 24 hours of normoventilation (group "Hypo-Baseline," n = 4); or 24 hours of hypoventilation plus 24 hours of hypoventilation plus ECCO2R (group "Hypo-ECCO2R," n = 3). Forty-eight hours after randomization, the current [Formula: see text]e was reduced by 50% in every pig.Measurements and Main Results: We evaluated [Formula: see text]co2, [Formula: see text]o2, and metabolic [Formula: see text]co2 ([Formula: see text]o2 times the metabolic respiratory quotient). Changes in the CO2 stores were calculated as [Formula: see text]co2 - metabolic V̇co2. After 48 hours, the CO2 stores decreased by 0.77 ± 0.17 l kg-1 in group Hyper and increased by 0.32 ± 0.27 l kg-1 in group Hypo (P = 0.030). In group Hypo-Baseline, they increased by 0.08 ± 0.19 l kg-1, whereas in group Hypo-ECCO2R, they decreased by 0.32 ± 0.24 l kg-1 (P = 0.197). In the second 24-hour period, in groups Hypo-Baseline and Hypo-ECCO2R, the CO2 stores decreased by 0.15 ± 0.09 l kg-1 and 0.51 ± 0.06 l kg-1, respectively (P = 0.002). At the end of the experiment, the 50% reduction of [Formula: see text]e caused a PaCO2 rise of 9.3 ± 1.1, 32.0 ± 5.0, 16.9 ± 1.2, and 11.7 ± 2.0 mm Hg h-1 in groups Hyper, Hypo, Hypo-Baseline, and Hypo-ECCO2R, respectively (P < 0.001). The PaCO2 rise was inversely related to the previous CO2 stores mobilization (P < 0.001).Conclusions: CO2 from body stores can be mobilized over 48 hours without reaching a steady state. This provides a physiological rationale for intermittent ECCO2R in patients with chronic hypercapnia.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating critical illness that can be triggered by a wide range of insults and remains associated with a high mortality of around 40%. The search for targeted treatment for ARDS has been disappointing, possibly due to the enormous heterogeneity within the syndrome. In this perspective from the European Respiratory Society research seminar on "Precision medicine in ARDS", we will summarise the current evidence for heterogeneity, explore the evidence in favour of precision medicine and provide a roadmap for further research in ARDS. There is evident variation in the presentation of ARDS on three distinct levels: 1) aetiological; 2) physiological and 3) biological, which leads us to the conclusion that there is no typical ARDS. The lack of a common presentation implies that intervention studies in patients with ARDS need to be phenotype aware and apply a precision medicine approach in order to avoid the lack of success in therapeutic trials that we faced in recent decades. Deeper phenotyping and integrative analysis of the sources of variation might result in identification of additional treatable traits that represent specific pathobiological mechanisms, or so-called endotypes.

Low Spontaneous Breathing Effort during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in a Porcine Model of Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Anesthesiology 2020; 133:1106-1117.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A lung rest strategy is recommended during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, spontaneous breathing modes are frequently used in this context. The impact of this approach may depend on the intensity of breathing efforts. The authors aimed to determine whether a low spontaneous breathing effort strategy increases lung injury, compared to a controlled near-apneic ventilation, in a porcine severe ARDS model assisted by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. METHODS Twelve female pigs were subjected to lung injury by repeated lavages, followed by 2-h injurious ventilation. Thereafter, animals were connected to venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and during the first 3 h, ventilated with near-apneic ventilation (positive end-expiratory pressure, 10 cm H2O; driving pressure, 10 cm H2O; respiratory rate, 5/min). Then, animals were allocated into (1) near-apneic ventilation, which continued with the previous ventilatory settings; and (2) spontaneous breathing: neuromuscular blockers were stopped, sweep gas flow was decreased until regaining spontaneous efforts, and ventilation was switched to pressure support mode (pressure support, 10 cm H2O; positive end-expiratory pressure, 10 cm H2O). In both groups, sweep gas flow was adjusted to keep Paco2 between 30 and 50 mmHg. Respiratory and hemodynamic as well as electric impedance tomography data were collected. After 24 h, animals were euthanized and lungs extracted for histologic tissue analysis. RESULTS Compared to near-apneic group, the spontaneous breathing group exhibited a higher respiratory rate (52 ± 17 vs. 5 ± 0 breaths/min; mean difference, 47; 95% CI, 34 to 59; P < 0.001), but similar tidal volume (2.3 ± 0.8 vs. 2.8 ± 0.4 ml/kg; mean difference, 0.6; 95% CI, -0.4 to 1.4; P = 0.983). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation settings and gas exchange were similar between groups. Dorsal ventilation was higher in the spontaneous breathing group. No differences were observed regarding histologic lung injury. CONCLUSIONS In an animal model of severe ARDS supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, spontaneous breathing characterized by low-intensity efforts, high respiratory rates, and very low tidal volumes did not result in increased lung injury compared to controlled near-apneic ventilation.

Abstract
Modalities of fluid management in patients sustaining the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are challenging and controversial. Optimal fluid management should provide adequate oxygen delivery to the body, while avoiding inadvertent increase in lung edema which further impairs gas exchange. In ARDS patients, positive fluid balance has been associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, longer ICU and hospital stay, and higher mortality. Accordingly, a restrictive strategy has been compared to a more liberal approach in randomized controlled trials conducted in various clinical settings. Restrictive strategies included fluid restriction guided by the monitoring of extravascular lung water, pulmonary capillary wedge or central venous pressure, and furosemide targeted to diuresis and/or albumin replacement in hypoproteinemic patients. Overall, restrictive strategies improved oxygenation significantly and reduced duration of mechanical ventilation, but had no significant effect on mortality. Fluid management may require different approaches depending on the time course of ARDS (i.e., early vs. late period). The effects of fluid strategy management according to ARDS phenotypes remain to be evaluated. Since ARDS is frequently associated with sepsis-induced acute circulatory failure, the prediction of fluid responsiveness is crucial in these patients to avoid hemodynamically inefficient—hence respiratory detrimental—fluid administration. Specific hemodynamic indices of fluid responsiveness or mini-fluid challenges should be preferably used. Since the positive airway pressure contributes to positive fluid balance in ventilated ARDS patients, it should be kept as low as possible. As soon as the hemodynamic status is stabilized, correction of cumulated fluid retention may rely on diuretics administration or renal replacement therapy.

Abstract
The reference method for mechanical power (MP) calculation proposed by Gattinoni et al. is based on plateau pressure (Pplat) which needs an inspiratory hold. This study aims to introduce and validate a simple surrogate for MP calculation without any intervention in ventilated patients with or without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The introduced equation is as:[Formula: see text]where Pmean is mean airway pressure, VE is minute ventilation, PEEP is positive end-expiratory pressure, and Te/Ti is expiratory-to-inspiratory ratio. 50 patients with ARDS and 50 post-operative patients without ARDS were enrolled. Pmean-derived MP and reference MP were obtained at the inspiratory plateau time (Tplat) of 0 and 0.5 s (s). When Tplat was adjusted from 0 to 0.5 s, higher Pmean [non-ARDS cases: 9.3 (8.8-9.9) cmH2O versus 8.2 (7.9-8.8) cmH2O, P < 0.001; ARDS cases: 14 (13-16) cmH2O versus 13 (11-14) cmH2O, P < 0.001] and shorter Te/Ti [non-ARDS cases: 1.4 (1.2-1.7) versus 2.4 (2.0-3.0), P < 0.001; ARDS cases: 1.3 (1.2-1.5) versus 2.5 (2.3-2.9), P < 0.001] were found. At both Tplat levels, the Pmean-derived MP correlated well with the reference MP both in patients with or without ARDS (non-ARDS: slopes = 1.05, 0.94, R2 = 0.95, 0.93, bias + 0.76, + 0.51; ARDS: slopes = 1.03, 0.95, R2 = 0.96, 0.96, bias + 0.97, + 0.78. P < 0.0001 for all). In patients with or without ARDS, Pmean-derived MP allows rapid and dynamic estimation of mechanical power without any intervention at the bedside.

Abstract
Background Mechanical power (MP) is the energy delivered to the respiratory system over time during mechanical ventilation. Our aim was to compare the currently available methods to calculate MP during volume- and pressure-controlled ventilation, comparing different equations with the geometric reference method, to understand whether the easier to use surrogate formulas were suitable for the everyday clinical practice. This would warrant a more widespread use of mechanical power to promote lung protection. Methods Forty respiratory failure patients, sedated and paralyzed for clinical reasons, were ventilated in volume-controlled ventilation, at two inspiratory flows (30 and 60 L/min), and pressure-controlled ventilation with a similar tidal volume. Mechanical power was computed both with the geometric method, as the area between the inspiratory limb of the airway pressure and the volume, and with two algebraic methods, a comprehensive and a surrogate formula. Results The bias between the MP computed by the geometric method and by the comprehensive algebraic method during volume-controlled ventilation was respectively 0.053 (0.77, − 0.81) J/min and − 0.4 (0.70, − 1.50) J/min at low and high flows (r2 = 0.96 and 0.97, p < 0.01). The MP measured and computed by the two methods were highly correlated (r2 = 0.95 and 0.94, p < 0.01) with a bias of − 0.0074 (0.91, − 0.93) and − 1.0 (0.45, − 2.52) J/min at high-low flows. During pressure-controlled ventilation, the bias between the MP measured and the one calculated with the comprehensive and simplified methods was correlated (r2 = 0.81, 0.94, p < 0.01) with mean differences of − 0.001 (2.05, − 2.05) and − 0.81 (2.11, − 0.48) J/min. Conclusions Both for volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation, the surrogate formulas approximate the reference method well enough to warrant their use in the everyday clinical practice. Given that these formulas require nothing more than the variables already displayed by the intensive care ventilator, a more widespread use of mechanical power should be encouraged to promote lung protection against ventilator-induced lung injury.

Elastic power but not driving power is the key promoter of ventilator-induced lung injury in experimental acute respiratory distress syndrome. Crit Care 2020; 24:284. [PMID: 32493362 PMCID: PMC7271482 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-020-03011-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We dissected total power into its primary components to resolve its relative contributions to tissue damage (VILI). We hypothesized that driving power or elastic (dynamic) power offers more precise VILI risk indicators than raw total power. The relative correlations of these three measures of power with VILI-induced histologic changes and injury biomarkers were determined using a rodent model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Herein, we have significantly extended the scope of our previous research. Methods Data analyses were performed in male Wistar rats that received endotoxin intratracheally to induce ARDS. After 24 h, they were randomized to 1 h of volume-controlled ventilation with low VT = 6 ml/kg and different PEEP levels (3, 5.5, 7.5, 9.5, and 11 cmH2O). Applied levels of driving power, dynamic power inclusive of PEEP, and total power were correlated with VILI indicators [lung histology and biological markers associated with inflammation (interleukin-6), alveolar stretch (amphiregulin), and epithelial (club cell protein (CC)-16) and endothelial (intercellular adhesion molecule-1) cell damage in lung tissue]. Results Driving power was higher at PEEP-11 than other PEEP levels. Dynamic power and total power increased progressively from PEEP-5.5 and PEEP-7.5, respectively, to PEEP-11. Driving power, dynamic power, and total power each correlated with the majority of VILI indicators. However, when correlations were performed from PEEP-3 to PEEP-9.5, no relationships were observed between driving power and VILI indicators, whereas dynamic power and total power remained well correlated with CC-16 expression, alveolar collapse, and lung hyperinflation. Conclusions In this mild-moderate ARDS model, dynamic power, not driving power alone, emerged as the key promoter of VILI. Moreover, hazards from driving power were conditioned by the requirement to pass a tidal stress threshold. When estimating VILI hazard from repeated mechanical strains, PEEP must not be disregarded as a major target for modification.
