Yue H, Yong T. Progress in the relationship between mechanical ventilation parameters and ventilator-related complications during perioperative anesthesia. Postgrad Med J 2024:qgae035. [PMID: 38507221 DOI: 10.1093/postmj/qgae035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation, as an important respiratory support, plays an important role in general anesthesia and it is the cornerstone of intraoperative management of surgical patients. Different from spontaneous respiration, intraoperative mechanical ventilation can lead to postoperative lung injury, and its impact on surgical mortality cannot be ignored. Postoperative lung injury increases hospital stay and is related to preoperative conditions, anesthesia time, and intraoperative ventilation settings. METHOD Through reading literature and research reports, the relationship between perioperative input parameters and output parameters related to mechanical ventilation and ventilator-related complications was reviewed, providing reference for the subsequent setting of input parameters of mechanical ventilation and new ventilation strategies. RESULTS The parameters of inspiratory pressure rise time and inspiratory time can change the gas distribution, gas flow rate and airway pressure into the lungs, but there are few clinical studies on them. It can be used as a prospective intervention to study the effect of specific protective ventilation strategies on pulmonary complications after perioperative anesthesia. CONCLUSION There are many factors affecting lung function after perioperative mechanical ventilation. Due to the difference of human body, the ventilation parameters suitable for each patient are different, and the deviation of each ventilation parameter can lead to postoperative pulmonary complications. Inspiratory pressure rise time and inspiratory time will be used as the new ventilation strategy.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving therapy in several clinical situations, promoting gas exchange and providing rest to the respiratory muscles. However, mechanical ventilation may cause hemodynamic instability and pulmonary structural damage, which is known as ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The four main injury mechanisms associated with VILI are as follows: barotrauma/volutrauma caused by overstretching the lung tissues; atelectrauma, caused by repeated opening and closing of the alveoli resulting in shear stress; and biotrauma, the resulting biological response to tissue damage, which leads to lung and multi-organ failure. This narrative review elucidates the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis, progression, and resolution of VILI and discusses the strategies that can mitigate VILI. Different static variables (peak, plateau, and driving pressures, positive end-expiratory pressure, and tidal volume) and dynamic variables (respiratory rate, airflow amplitude, and inspiratory time fraction) can contribute to VILI. Moreover, the potential for lung injury depends on tissue vulnerability, mechanical power (energy applied per unit of time), and the duration of that exposure. According to the current evidence based on models of acute respiratory distress syndrome and VILI, the following strategies are proposed to provide lung protection: keep the lungs partially collapsed (SaO2 > 88%), avoid opening and closing of collapsed alveoli, and gently ventilate aerated regions while keeping collapsed and consolidated areas at rest. Additional mechanisms, such as subject-ventilator asynchrony, cumulative power, and intensity, as well as the damaging threshold (stress-strain level at which tidal damage is initiated), are under experimental investigation and may enhance the understanding of VILI.

Abstract
Using protective mechanical ventilation strategies with low tidal volume is usually accompanied by an increment of respiratory rate to maintain adequate alveolar ventilation. However, there is no robust data that support the safety of a high respiratory rate concerning ventilator-induced lung injury. Several experimental animal studies have explored the effects of respiratory rate over lung physiology, using a wide range of frequencies and different models. Clinical evidence is scarce and restricted to the physiological impact of increased respiratory rate. Undoubtedly, the respiratory rate can influence respiratory mechanics in various ways as a factor of multiplication of the power of ventilation, and gas exchange, and also on alveolar dynamics. In this narrative review, we present our point of view over the main experimental and clinical evidence available regarding the effect of respiratory rate on ventilator-induced lung injury development.

Influence of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Titration on the Effects of Pronation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Comprehensive Experimental Study. Front Physiol 2020; 11:179.

Abstract
Prone position can reduce mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but several studies found variable effects on oxygenation and lung mechanics. It is unclear whether different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration techniques modify the effect of prone position. We tested, in an animal model of ARDS, if the PEEP titration method may influence the effect of prone position on oxygenation and lung protection. In a crossover study in 10 piglets with a two-hit injury ARDS model, we set the "best PEEP" according to the ARDS Network low-PEEP table (BPARDS) or targeting the lowest transpulmonary driving pressure (BPDPL). We measured gas exchange, lung mechanics, aeration, ventilation, and perfusion with computed tomography (CT) and electrical impedance tomography in each position with both PEEP titration techniques. The primary endpoint was the PaO2/FiO2 ratio. Secondary outcomes were lung mechanics, regional distribution of ventilation, regional distribution of perfusion, and homogeneity of strain derived by CT scan. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio increased in prone position when PEEP was set with BPARDS [difference 54 (19-106) mmHg, p = 0.04] but not with BPDPL [difference 17 (-24 to 68) mmHg, p = 0.99]. The transpulmonary driving pressure significantly decreased during prone position with both BPARDS [difference -0.9 (-1.5 to -0.9) cmH2O, p = 0.009] and BPDPL [difference -0.55 (-1.6 to -0.4) cmH2O, p = 0.04]. Pronation homogenized lung regional strain and ventilation and redistributed the ventilation/perfusion ratio along the sternal-to-vertebral gradient. The PEEP titration technique influences the oxygenation response to prone position. However, the lung-protective effects of prone position could be independent of the PEEP titration strategy.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a life-support system used to maintain adequate lung function in patients who are critically ill or undergoing general anesthesia. The benefits and harms of mechanical ventilation depend not only on the operator's setting of the machine (input), but also on their interpretation of ventilator-derived parameters (outputs), which should guide ventilator strategies. Once the inputs-tidal volume (VT), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), respiratory rate (RR), and inspiratory airflow (V')-have been adjusted, the following outputs should be measured: intrinsic PEEP, peak (Ppeak) and plateau (Pplat) pressures, driving pressure (ΔP), transpulmonary pressure (PL), mechanical energy, mechanical power, and intensity. During assisted mechanical ventilation, in addition to these parameters, the pressure generated 100 ms after onset of inspiratory effort (P0.1) and the pressure-time product per minute (PTP/min) should also be evaluated. The aforementioned parameters should be seen as a set of outputs, all of which need to be strictly monitored at bedside in order to develop a personalized, case-by-case approach to mechanical ventilation. Additionally, more clinical research to evaluate the safe thresholds of each parameter in injured and uninjured lungs is required.

Abstract
The adverse effects of mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) arise from two main causes: unphysiological increases of transpulmonary pressure and unphysiological increases/decreases of pleural pressure during positive or negative pressure ventilation. The transpulmonary pressure-related side effects primarily account for ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) while the pleural pressure-related side effects primarily account for hemodynamic alterations. The changes of transpulmonary pressure and pleural pressure resulting from a given applied driving pressure depend on the relative elastances of the lung and chest wall. The term ‘volutrauma’ should refer to excessive strain, while ‘barotrauma’ should refer to excessive stress. Strains exceeding 1.5, corresponding to a stress above ~20 cmH2O in humans, are severely damaging in experimental animals. Apart from high tidal volumes and high transpulmonary pressures, the respiratory rate and inspiratory flow may also play roles in the genesis of VILI. We do not know which fraction of mortality is attributable to VILI with ventilation comparable to that reported in recent clinical practice surveys (tidal volume ~7.5 ml/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ~8 cmH2O, rate ~20 bpm, associated mortality ~35%). Therefore, a more complete and individually personalized understanding of ARDS lung mechanics and its interaction with the ventilator is needed to improve future care. Knowledge of functional lung size would allow the quantitative estimation of strain. The determination of lung inhomogeneity/stress raisers would help assess local stresses; the measurement of lung recruitability would guide PEEP selection to optimize lung size and homogeneity. Finding a safety threshold for mechanical power, normalized to functional lung volume and tissue heterogeneity, may help precisely define the safety limits of ventilating the individual in question. When a mechanical ventilation set cannot be found to avoid an excessive risk of VILI, alternative methods (such as the artificial lung) should be considered.
