Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is used to support ventilation and pulmonary gas exchange in patients during critical illness and surgery. Although MV is a life-saving intervention for patients in respiratory failure, an unintended side-effect of MV is the rapid development of diaphragmatic atrophy and contractile dysfunction. This MV-induced diaphragmatic weakness is labelled as 'ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction' (VIDD). VIDD is an important clinical problem because diaphragmatic weakness is a risk factor for the failure to wean patients from MV. Indeed, the inability to remove patients from ventilator support results in prolonged hospitalization and increased morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of VIDD has been extensively investigated, revealing that increased mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species within diaphragm muscle fibres promotes a cascade of redox-regulated signalling events leading to both accelerated proteolysis and depressed protein synthesis. Together, these events promote the rapid development of diaphragmatic atrophy and contractile dysfunction. This review highlights the MV-induced changes in the structure/function of diaphragm muscle and discusses the cell-signalling mechanisms responsible for the pathogenesis of VIDD. This report concludes with a discussion of potential therapeutic opportunities to prevent VIDD and suggestions for future research in this exciting field.

Schaaf K, Mullin CM, Cunningham KW, Eaton J, Conrad SA. The ReInvigorate Study-phrenic nerve-to-diaphragm stimulation for weaning from mechanical ventilation: a protocol for a randomized pivotal clinical trial. Trials 2024; 25:519. [PMID: 39095923 PMCID: PMC11295437 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-024-08355-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the United States in 2017, there were an estimated 903,745 hospitalizations involving mechanical ventilation (MV). Complications from ventilation can result in longer hospital stays, increased risk of disability, and increased healthcare costs. It has been hypothesized that electrically pacing the diaphragm by phrenic nerve stimulation during mechanical ventilation may minimize or reverse diaphragm dysfunction, resulting in faster weaning. METHODS The ReInvigorate Trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of Stimdia's pdSTIM System for facilitating weaning from MV. The pdSTIM system employs percutaneously placed multipolar electrodes to stimulate the cervical phrenic nerves and activate contraction of the diaphragm bilaterally. Patients who were on mechanical ventilation for at least 96 h and who failed at least one weaning attempt were considered for enrollment in the study. The primary efficacy endpoint was the time to successful liberation from mechanical ventilation (treatment vs. control). Secondary endpoints will include the rapid shallow breathing index and other physiological and system characteristics. Safety will be summarized for both primary and additional analyses. All endpoints will be evaluated at 30 days or at the time of removal of mechanical ventilation, whichever is first. DISCUSSION This pivotal study is being conducted under an investigational device exception with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The technology being studied could provide a first-of-kind therapy for difficult-to-wean patients on mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit setting.

High vs Low PEEP in Patients With ARDS Exhibiting Intense Inspiratory Effort During Assisted Ventilation: A Randomized Crossover Trial. Chest 2024; 165:1392-1405. [PMID: 38295949 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.01.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can potentially modulate inspiratory effort (ΔPes), which is the major determinant of self-inflicted lung injury. RESEARCH QUESTION Does high PEEP reduce ΔPes in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS on assisted ventilation? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Sixteen patients with Pao2/Fio2 ≤ 200 mm Hg and ΔPes ≥ 10 cm H2O underwent a randomized sequence of four ventilator settings: PEEP = 5 cm H2O or PEEP = 15 cm H2O + synchronous (pressure support ventilation [PSV]) or asynchronous (pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation [PC-IMV]) inspiratory assistance. ΔPes and respiratory system, lung, and chest wall mechanics were assessed with esophageal manometry and occlusions. PEEP-induced alveolar recruitment and overinflation, lung dynamic strain, and tidal volume distribution were assessed with electrical impedance tomography. RESULTS ΔPes was not systematically different at high vs low PEEP (pressure support ventilation: median, 20 cm H2O; interquartile range (IQR), 15-24 cm H2O vs median, 15 cm H2O; IQR, 13-23 cm H2O; P = .24; pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation: median, 20; IQR, 18-23 vs median, 19; IQR, 17-25; P = .67, respectively). Similarly, respiratory system and transpulmonary driving pressures, tidal volume, lung/chest wall mechanics, and pendelluft extent were not different between study phases. High PEEP resulted in lower or higher ΔPes, respiratory system driving pressure, and transpulmonary driving pressure according to whether this increased or decreased respiratory system compliance (r = -0.85, P < .001; r = -0.75, P < .001; r = -0.80, P < .001, respectively). PEEP-induced changes in respiratory system compliance were driven by its lung component and were dependent on the extent of PEEP-induced alveolar overinflation (r = -0.66, P = .006). High PEEP caused variable recruitment and systematic redistribution of tidal volume toward dorsal lung regions, thereby reducing dynamic strain in ventral areas (pressure support ventilation: median, 0.49; IQR, 0.37-0.83 vs median, 0.96; IQR, 0.62-1.56; P = .003; pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation: median, 0.65; IQR, 0.42-1.31 vs median, 1.14; IQR, 0.79-1.52; P = .002). All results were consistent during synchronous and asynchronous inspiratory assistance. INTERPRETATION The impact of high PEEP on ΔPes and lung stress is interindividually variable according to different effects on the respiratory system and lung compliance resulting from alveolar overinflation. High PEEP may help mitigate the risk of self-inflicted lung injury solely if it increases lung/respiratory system compliance. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT04241874; URL: www.

Abstract
Diaphragm Dysfunction (DD) is a respiratory disorder with multiple causes. Although both unilateral and bilateral DD could ultimately lead to respiratory failure, the former is more common. Increasing research has recently delved into perioperative diaphragm protection. It has been established that DD promotes atelectasis development by affecting lung and chest wall mechanics. Diaphragm function must be specifically assessed for clinicians to optimally select an anesthetic approach, prepare for adequate monitoring, and implement the perioperative plan. Recent technological advancements, including dynamic MRI, ultrasound, and esophageal manometry, have critically aided disease diagnosis and management. In this context, it is noteworthy that therapeutic approaches for DD vary depending on its etiology and include various interventions, either noninvasive or invasive, aimed at promoting diaphragm recruitment. This review aims to unravel alternative anesthetic and operative strategies that minimize postoperative dysfunction by elucidating the identification of patients at a higher risk of DD and procedures that could cause postoperative DD, facilitating the recognition and avoidance of anesthetic and surgical interventions likely to impair diaphragmatic function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving intervention for critically ill patients, but it can also lead to diaphragm atrophy, which may prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of stay in the intensive care unit. IntelliVent-ASV® (Hamilton Medical, Rhäzüns, Switzerland) is a new mode of ventilation that has been developed to reduce diaphragm atrophy by promoting spontaneous breathing efforts. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of IntelliVent-ASV® and pressure support-synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (PS-SIMV) mode in reducing diaphragm atrophy by measuring diaphragm thickness using ultrasound (US) imaging. METHODS We enrolled 60 patients who required mechanical ventilation due to respiratory failure and were randomized into two groups: IntelliVent-ASV® and PS-SIMV. We measured the diaphragm thickness using US imaging at admission and on the seventh day of mechanical ventilation. RESULTS Our results showed that diaphragm thickness decreased significantly in the PS-SIMV group but remained unchanged in the IntelliVent-ASV® group. The difference in diaphragm thickness between the two groups was statistically significant on the seventh day of mechanical ventilation. CONCLUSIONS IntelliVent-ASV® may reduce diaphragm atrophy by promoting spontaneous breathing efforts. Our study suggests that this new mode of ventilation may be a promising approach to preventing diaphragm atrophy in mechanically ventilated patients. Further studies using invasive measures of diaphragm function are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving respiratory support therapy, but MV can lead to diaphragm muscle injury (myotrauma) and induce diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD). DD is relevant because it is highly prevalent and associated with significant adverse outcomes, including prolonged ventilation, weaning failures, and mortality. The main mechanisms involved in the occurrence of myotrauma are associated with inadequate MV support in adapting to the patient’s respiratory effort (over- and under-assistance) and as a result of patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA). The recognition of these mechanisms associated with myotrauma forced the development of myotrauma prevention strategies (MV with diaphragm protection), mainly based on titration of appropriate levels of inspiratory effort (to avoid over- and under-assistance) and to avoid PVA. Protecting the diaphragm during MV therefore requires the use of tools to monitor diaphragmatic effort and detect PVA. Diaphragm ultrasound is a non-invasive technique that can be used to monitor diaphragm function, to assess PVA, and potentially help to define diaphragmatic effort with protective ventilation. This review aims to provide clinicians with an overview of the relevance of DD and the main mechanisms underlying myotrauma, as well as the most current strategies aimed at minimizing the occurrence of myotrauma with special emphasis on the role of ultrasound in monitoring diaphragm function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI) has been proposed as a form of lung injury caused by strong inspiratory efforts consequent to a high respiratory drive in patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (hARF). Increased respiratory drive and effort may lead to variable combinations of deleterious phenomena, such as excessive transpulmonary pressure, pendelluft, intra-tidal recruitment, local lung volutrauma, and pulmonary edema. Gas exchange and respiratory mechanics derangements further increase respiratory drive and effort, thus inducing a vicious circle. Forms of partial ventilatory support may further add to the detrimental effects of P-SILI. Since P-SILI may worsen patient outcome, strategies aimed at identifying and preventing P-SILI would be of great importance. AREAS COVERED We systematically searched Pubmed since inception until 15 April 2022 to review the patho-physiological mechanisms of P-SILI and the strategies to identify those patients at risk of P-SILI. EXPERT OPINION Although the concept of P-SILI has been increasingly supported by experimental and clinical data, no study has insofar demonstrated the efficacy of any strategy to identify it in the clinical setting. Further research is thus needed to ascertain the detrimental effects of spontaneous breathing and identify patients with hARF at high risk of developing P-SILI.

Abstract
Background Mechanical ventilation can injure lung tissue and respiratory muscles. The aim of the present study is to assess the effect of the amount of spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation on patient outcomes. Methods This is an analysis of the database of the ‘Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)’-III, considering intensive care units (ICUs) of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), Boston, MA. Adult patients who received invasive ventilation for at least 48 hours were included. Patients were categorized according to the amount of spontaneous breathing, i.e., ≥50% (‘high spontaneous breathing’) and <50% (‘low spontaneous breathing’) of time during first 48 hours of ventilation. The primary outcome was the number of ventilator-free days. Results In total, the analysis included 3,380 patients; 70.2% were classified as ‘high spontaneous breathing’, and 29.8% as ‘low spontaneous breathing’. Patients in the ‘high spontaneous breathing’ group were older, had more comorbidities, and lower severity scores. In adjusted analysis, the amount of spontaneous breathing was not associated with the number of ventilator-free days [20.0 (0.0–24.2) vs. 19.0 (0.0–23.7) in high vs. low; absolute difference, 0.54 (95% CI, –0.10 to 1.19); P=0.101]. However, ‘high spontaneous breathing' was associated with shorter duration of ventilation in survivors [6.5 (3.6 to 12.2) vs. 7.6 (4.1 to 13.9); absolute difference, –0.91 (95% CI, −1.80 to −0.02); P=0.046]. Conclusions In patients surviving and receiving ventilation for at least 48 hours, the amount of spontaneous breathing during this period was not associated with an increased number of ventilator-free days.

Abstract
Background Few studies have evaluated muscle strength in COVID-19 ICU survivors. We aimed to report the incidence of limb and respiratory muscle weakness in COVID-19 ICU survivors. Method We performed a cross sectional study in two ICU tertiary Hospital Settings. COVID-19 ICU survivors were screened and respiratory and limb muscle strength were measured at the time of extubation. An ICU mobility scale was performed at ICU discharge and walking capacity was self-evaluated by patients 30 days after weaning from mechanical ventilation. Results Twenty-three patients were included. Sixteen (69%) had limb muscle weakness and 6 (26%) had overlap limb and respiratory muscle weakness. Amount of physiotherapy was not associated with muscle strength. 44% of patients with limb weakness were unable to walk 100 m 30 days after weaning. Conclusion The large majority of COVID-19 ICU survivors developed ICU acquired limb muscle weakness. 44% of patients with limb weakness still had severely limited function one-month post weaning.

Abstract
Purpose The COVID-19-related shortage of ICU beds magnified the need of tools to properly titrate the ventilator assistance. We investigated whether bedside-available indices such as the ultrasonographic changes in diaphragm thickening ratio (TR) and the tidal swing in central venous pressure (ΔCVP) are reliable estimates of inspiratory effort, assessed as the tidal swing in esophageal pressure (ΔPes). Methods Prospective, observational clinical investigation in the intensive care unit of a tertiary care Hospital. Fourteen critically-ill patients were enrolled (age 64 ± 7 years, BMI 29 ± 4 kg/m2), after 6 [3; 9] days from onset of assisted ventilation. A three-level pressure support trial was performed, at 10 (PS10), 5 (PS5) and 0 cmH2O (PS0). In each step, the esophageal and central venous pressure tidal swing were recorded, as well as diaphragm ultrasound. Results The reduction of pressure support was associated with an increased respiratory rate and a reduced tidal volume, while minute ventilation was unchanged. ΔPes significantly increased with reducing support (5 [3; 8] vs. 8 [14; 13] vs. 12 [6; 16] cmH2O, p < 0.0001), as did the diaphragm TR (9.2 ± 6.1 vs. 17.6 ± 7.2 vs. 28.0 ± 10.0%, p < 0.0001) and the ΔCVP (4 [3; 7] vs. 8 [5; 9] vs. 10 [7; 11] cmH2O, p < 0.0001). ΔCVP was significantly associated with ΔPes (R2 = 0.810, p < 0.001), as was diaphragm TR, albeit with a lower coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.399, p < 0.001). Conclusions In patients with COVID-19-associated respiratory failure undergoing assisted mechanical ventilation, ΔCVP is a better estimate of inspiratory effort than diaphragm ultrasound.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Diaphragm weakness can impact survival and increases comorbidities in ventilated patients. Mechanical ventilation is linked to diaphragm dysfunction through several mechanisms of injury, referred to as myotrauma. By monitoring diaphragm activity and titrating ventilator settings, the critical care clinician can have a direct impact on diaphragm injury. RECENT FINDINGS Both the absence of diaphragm activity and excessive inspiratory effort can result in diaphragm muscle weakness, and recent evidence demonstrates that a moderate level of diaphragm activity during mechanical ventilation improves ICU outcome. This supports the hypothesis that by avoiding ventilator overassistance and underassistance, the clinician can implement a diaphragm-protective ventilation strategy. Furthermore, eccentric diaphragm contractions and end-expiratory shortening could impact diaphragm strength as well. This review describes these potential targets for diaphragm protective ventilation. SUMMARY A ventilator strategy that results in appropriate levels of diaphragm activity has the potential to be diaphragm-protective and improve clinical outcome. Monitoring respiratory effort during mechanical ventilation is becoming increasingly important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between muscle function in critically ill patients assessed using bedside techniques and clinical outcomes has not been systematically described. We aimed to evaluate the association between muscle weakness assessed by bedside evaluation and mortality or weaning from mechanical ventilation, and the capacity of each evaluation tool to predict outcomes. METHODS Five databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Science Direct) were searched from January 2000 to December 2018. Data were extracted and random effects meta-analyses were performed. RESULTS 60 studies were analysed, including 4382 patients. Intensive care unit (ICU)-related muscle weakness was associated with an increase in overall mortality with odds ratios ranging from 1.2 (95% CI 0.60-2.40) to 4.48 (95% CI 1.49-13.42). Transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure had the highest predictive capacity for overall mortality, with a sensitivity of 0.87 (95% CI 0.76-0.93) and a specificity of 0.36 (95% CI 0.27-0.43). The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.74 (95% CI 0.70-0.78). Muscle weakness was associated with an increase in mechanical ventilation weaning failure rate with an odds ratio ranging from 2.64 (95% CI 0.72-9.64) to 19.07 (95% CI 9.35-38.9). Diaphragm thickening fraction had the highest predictive capacity for weaning failure with a sensitivity of 0.76 (95% CI 0.67-0.83) and a specificity of 0.86 (95% CI 0.78-0.92). The AUC was 0.86 (95% CI 0.83-0.89). CONCLUSION ICU-related muscle weakness detected by bedside techniques is a serious issue associated with a high risk of death or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Evaluating diaphragm function should be a clinical priority in the ICU.

Non-invasive assessment of respiratory muscle activity during pressure support ventilation: accuracy of end-inspiration occlusion and least square fitting methods. J Clin Monit Comput 2020; 35:913-921. [PMID: 32617847 PMCID: PMC7330529 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-020-00552-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2020] [Accepted: 06/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Pressure support ventilation (PSV) should be titrated considering the pressure developed by the respiratory muscles (Pmusc) to prevent under- and over-assistance. The esophageal pressure (Pes) is the clinical gold standard for Pmusc assessment, but its use is limited by alleged invasiveness and complexity. The least square fitting method and the end-inspiratory occlusion method have been proposed as non-invasive alternatives for Pmusc assessment. The aims of this study were: (1) to compare the accuracy of Pmusc estimation using the end-inspiration occlusion (Pmusc,index) and the least square fitting (Pmusc,lsf) against the reference method based on Pes; (2) to test the accuracy of Pmusc,lsf and of Pmusc,index to detect overassistance, defined as Pmusc ≤ 1 cmH2O. We studied 18 patients at three different PSV levels. At each PSV level, Pmusc, Pmusc,lsf, Pmusc,index were calculated on the same breaths. Differences among Pmusc, Pmusc,lsf, Pmusc,index were analyzed with linear mixed effects models. Bias and agreement were assessed by Bland-Altman analysis for repeated measures. The ability of Pmusc,lsf and Pmusc,index to detect overassistance was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve. Positive and negative predictive values were calculated using cutoff values that maximized the sum of sensitivity and specificity. At each PSV level, Pmusc,lsf was not different from Pmusc (p = 0.96), whereas Pmusc,index was significantly lower than Pmusc. The bias between Pmusc and Pmusc,lsf was zero, whereas Pmusc,index systematically underestimated Pmusc of 6 cmH2O. The limits of agreement between Pmusc and Pmusc,lsf and between Pmusc and Pmusc,index were ± 12 cmH2O across bias. Both Pmusc,lsf ≤ 4 cmH2O and Pmusc,index ≤ 1 cmH2O had excellent negative predictive value [0.98 (95% CI 0.94-1) and 0.96 (95% CI 0.91-0.99), respectively)] to identify over-assistance. The inspiratory effort during PSV could not be accurately estimated by the least square fitting or end-inspiratory occlusion method because the limits of agreement were far above the signal size. These non-invasive approaches, however, could be used to screen patients at risk for absent or minimal respiratory muscles activation to prevent the ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction.

Oesophageal pressure and respiratory muscle ultrasonographic measurements indicate inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation. Br J Anaesth 2020; 125:e148-e157. [PMID: 32386831 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2020.02.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Revised: 02/03/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bedside measures of patient effort are essential to properly titrate the level of pressure support ventilation. We investigated whether the tidal swing in oesophageal (ΔPes) and transdiaphragmatic pressure (ΔPdi), and ultrasonographic changes in diaphragm (TFdi) and parasternal intercostal (TFic) thickening are reliable estimates of respiratory effort. The effect of diaphragm dysfunction was also considered. METHODS Twenty-one critically ill patients were enrolled: age 73 (14) yr, BMI 27 (7) kg m-2, and Pao2/Fio2 33.3 (9.2) kPa. A three-level pressure support trial was performed: baseline, 25% (PS-medium), and 50% reduction (PS-low). We recorded the oesophageal and transdiaphragmatic pressure-time products (PTPs), work of breathing (WOB), and diaphragm and intercostal ultrasonography. Diaphragm dysfunction was defined by the Gilbert index. RESULTS Pressure support was 9.0 (1.6) cm H2O at baseline, 6.7 (1.3) (PS-medium), and 4.4 (1.0) (PS-low). ΔPes was significantly associated with the oesophageal PTP (R2=0.868; P<0.001) and the WOB (R2=0.683; P<0.001). ΔPdi was significantly associated with the transdiaphragmatic PTP (R2=0.820; P<0.001). TFdi was only weakly correlated with the oesophageal PTP (R2=0.326; P<0.001), and the correlation improved after excluding patients with diaphragm dysfunction (R2=0.887; P<0.001). TFdi was higher and TFic lower in patients without diaphragm dysfunction: 33.6 (18.2)% vs 13.2 (9.2)% and 2.1 (1.7)% vs 12.7 (9.1)%; P<0.0001. CONCLUSIONS ΔPes and ΔPdi are adequate estimates of inspiratory effort. Diaphragm ultrasonography is a reliable indicator of inspiratory effort in the absence of diaphragm dysfunction. Additional measurement of parasternal intercostal thickening may discriminate a low inspiratory effort or a high effort in the presence of a dysfunctional diaphragm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaphragm atrophy and dysfunction are consequences of mechanical ventilation and are determinants of clinical outcomes. We hypothesize that partial preservation of diaphragm function, such as during assisted modes of ventilation, will restore diaphragm thickness. We also aim to correlate the changes in diaphragm thickness and function to outcomes and clinical factors. METHODS This is a prospective, multicentre, observational study. Patients mechanically ventilated for more than 48 h in controlled mode and eventually switched to assisted ventilation were enrolled. Diaphragm ultrasound and clinical data collection were performed every 48 h until discharge or death. A threshold of 10% was used to define thinning during controlled and recovery of thickness during assisted ventilation. Patients were also classified based on the level of diaphragm activity during assisted ventilation. We evaluated the association between changes in diaphragm thickness and activity and clinical outcomes and data, such as ventilation parameters. RESULTS Sixty-two patients ventilated in controlled mode and then switched to the assisted mode of ventilation were enrolled. Diaphragm thickness significantly decreased during controlled ventilation (1.84 ± 0.44 to 1.49 ± 0.37 mm, p < 0.001) and was partially restored during assisted ventilation (1.49 ± 0.37 to 1.75 ± 0.43 mm, p < 0.001). A diaphragm thinning of more than 10% was associated with longer duration of controlled ventilation (10 [5, 15] versus 5 [4, 8.5] days, p = 0.004) and higher PEEP levels (12.6 ± 4 versus 10.4 ± 4 cmH2O, p = 0.034). An increase in diaphragm thickness of more than 10% during assisted ventilation was not associated with any clinical outcome but with lower respiratory rate (16.7 ± 3.2 versus 19.2 ± 4 bpm, p = 0.019) and Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (37 ± 11 versus 44 ± 13, p = 0.029) and with higher Pressure Muscle Index (2 [0.5, 3] versus 0.4 [0, 1.9], p = 0.024). Change in diaphragm thickness was not related to diaphragm function expressed as diaphragm thickening fraction. CONCLUSION Mode of ventilation affects diaphragm thickness, and preservation of diaphragmatic contraction, as during assisted modes, can partially reverse the muscle atrophy process. Avoiding a strenuous inspiratory work, as measured by Rapid Shallow Breathing Index and Pressure Muscle Index, may help diaphragm thickness restoration.

Maintenance of spontaneous breathing at an intensity of 60%-80% may effectively prevent mechanical ventilation-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0229944. [PMID: 32131083 PMCID: PMC7056322 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0229944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2019] [Accepted: 02/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) can cause diaphragmatic motionlessness to induce diaphragmatic dysfunction. Partial maintenance of spontaneous breathing (SB) can reduce ventilation-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). However, to what extent SB is maintained in CMV can attenuate or even prevent VIDD has been rarely reported. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between SB intensity and VIDD and to identify what intensity of SB maintained in CMV can effectively avoid VIDD. Adult rats were randomly divided according to different SB intensities: SB (0% pressure controlled ventilation (PCV)), high-intensity SB (20% PCV), medium-intensity SB (40% PCV), medium-low intensity SB (60% PCV), low-intensity SB (80% PCV), and PCV (100% PCV). The animals underwent 24-h controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV). The transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), the maximal Pdi (Pdi max) when phrenic nerves were stimulated, Pdi/Pdi max, and the diaphragmatic tonus under different frequencies of electric stimulations were determined. Calpain and caspase-3 were detected using ELISA and the cross-section areas (CSAs) of different types of muscle fibers were measured. The Pdi showed a significant decrease from 20% PCV and the Pdi max showed a significant decrease from 40% PCV (P<0.05). In vivo and vitro diaphragmatic tonus exhibited a significant decrease from 40% PCV and 20% PCV, respectively (P<0.05). From 20% PCV, the CSAs of types I, IIa, and IIb/x muscle fibers showed significant differences, which reached the lowest levels at 100% PCV. SB intensity is negatively associated with the development of VIDD. Maintenance of SB at an intensity of 60%-80% may effectively prevent the occurrence of VIDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure-support ventilation may worsen lung damage due to increased dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure. The authors hypothesized that, at the same tidal volume (VT) and dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure, pressure-support and pressure-controlled ventilation would yield comparable lung damage in mild lung injury. METHODS Male Wistar rats received endotoxin intratracheally and, after 24 h, were ventilated in pressure-support mode. Rats were then randomized to 2 h of pressure-controlled ventilation with VT, dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure, dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure, and inspiratory time similar to those of pressure-support ventilation. The primary outcome was the difference in dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure between pressure-support and pressure-controlled ventilation at similar VT; secondary outcomes were lung and diaphragm damage. RESULTS At VT = 6 ml/kg, dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure was higher in pressure-support than pressure-controlled ventilation (12.0 ± 2.2 vs. 8.0 ± 1.8 cm H2O), whereas static transpulmonary driving pressure did not differ (6.7 ± 0.6 vs. 7.0 ± 0.3 cm H2O). Diffuse alveolar damage score and gene expression of markers associated with lung inflammation (interleukin-6), alveolar-stretch (amphiregulin), epithelial cell damage (club cell protein 16), and fibrogenesis (metalloproteinase-9 and type III procollagen), as well as diaphragm inflammation (tumor necrosis factor-α) and proteolysis (muscle RING-finger-1) were comparable between groups. At similar dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure, as well as dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure and inspiratory time, pressure-controlled ventilation increased VT, static transpulmonary driving pressure, diffuse alveolar damage score, and gene expression of markers of lung inflammation, alveolar stretch, fibrogenesis, diaphragm inflammation, and proteolysis compared to pressure-support ventilation. CONCLUSIONS In the mild lung injury model use herein, at the same VT, pressure-support compared to pressure-controlled ventilation did not affect biologic markers. However, pressure-support ventilation was associated with a major difference between static and dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure; when the same dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure and inspiratory time were used for pressure-controlled ventilation, greater lung and diaphragm injury occurred compared to pressure-support ventilation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the impact of positive end-expiratory pressure during mechanical ventilation with and without spontaneous breathing activity on regional lung inflammation in experimental nonsevere acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN Laboratory investigation. SETTING University hospital research facility. SUBJECTS Twenty-four pigs (28.1-58.2 kg). INTERVENTIONS In anesthetized animals, intrapleural pressure sensors were placed thoracoscopically in ventral, dorsal, and caudal regions of the left hemithorax. Lung injury was induced with saline lung lavage followed by injurious ventilation in supine position. During airway pressure release ventilation with low tidal volumes, positive end-expiratory pressure was set 4 cm H2O above the level to reach a positive transpulmonary pressure in caudal regions at end-expiration (best-positive end-expiratory pressure). Animals were randomly assigned to one of four groups (n = 6/group; 12 hr): 1) no spontaneous breathing activity and positive end-expiratory pressure = best-positive end-expiratory pressure - 4 cm H2O, 2) no spontaneous breathing activity and positive end-expiratory pressure = best-positive end-expiratory pressure + 4 cm H2O, 3) spontaneous breathing activity and positive end-expiratory pressure = best-positive end-expiratory pressure + 4 cm H2O, 4) spontaneous breathing activity and positive end-expiratory pressure = best-positive end-expiratory pressure - 4 cm H2O. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Global lung inflammation assessed by specific [F]fluorodeoxyglucose uptake rate (median [25-75% percentiles], min) was decreased with higher compared with lower positive end-expiratory pressure both without spontaneous breathing activity (0.029 [0.027-0.030] vs 0.044 [0.041-0.065]; p = 0.004) and with spontaneous breathing activity (0.032 [0.028-0.043] vs 0.057 [0.042-0.075]; p = 0.016). Spontaneous breathing activity did not increase global lung inflammation. Lung inflammation in dorsal regions correlated with transpulmonary driving pressure from spontaneous breathing at lower (r = 0.850; p = 0.032) but not higher positive end-expiratory pressure (r = 0.018; p = 0.972). Higher positive end-expiratory pressure resulted in a more homogeneous distribution of aeration and regional transpulmonary pressures at end-expiration along the ventral-dorsal gradient, as well as a shift of the perfusion center toward dependent zones in the presence of spontaneous breathing activity. CONCLUSIONS In experimental mild-to-moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome, positive end-expiratory pressure levels that stabilize dependent lung regions reduce global lung inflammation during mechanical ventilation, independent from spontaneous breathing activity.

Abstract
Background : Since diaphragm passivity induces oxidative stress that leads to rapid atrophy of diaphragm, we investigated the effect of controlled ventilation on diaphragm thickness during assist-control ventilation (ACV). Methods : Previously, we measured end-expiratory diaphragm thickness (Tdiee) of patients mechanically ventilated for more than 48 hours on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after the start of ventilation. We retrospectively investigated the proportion of controlled ventilation during the initial 48-hour ACV (CV48%). Patients were classified according to CV48% : Low group, less than 25% ; High group, higher than 25%. Results : Of 56 patients under pressure-control ACV, Tdiee increased more than 10% in 6 patients (11%), unchanged in 8 patients (14%) and decreased more than 10% in 42 patients (75%). During the first week of ventilation, Tdiee decreased in both groups : Low (difference, -7.4% ; 95% confidence interval [CI], -10.1% to -4.6% ; p < 0.001) and High group (difference, -5.2% ; 95% CI, -8.5% to -2.0% ; p = 0.049). Maximum Tdiee variation from baseline did not differ between Low (-15.8% ; interquartile range [IQR], -22.3 to -1.5) and High group (-16.7% ; IQR, -22.6 to -11.1, p = 0.676). Conclusions : During ACV, maximum variation in Tdiee was not associated with proportion of controlled ventilation higher than 25%. J. Med. Invest. 67 : 332-337, August, 2020.

Abstract
Lung Protective Mechanical Ventilation (MV) of critically ill adults and children is lifesaving but it may decrease diaphragm contraction and promote Ventilator Induced Diaphragm Dysfunction (VIDD). An ideal MV strategy would balance lung and diaphragm protection. Building off a Phase I pilot study, we are conducting a Phase II controlled clinical trial that seeks to understand the evolution of VIDD in critically ill children and test whether a novel computer-based approach (Real-time Effort Driven ventilator management (REDvent)) can balance lung and diaphragm protective ventilation to reduce time on MV. REDvent systematically adjusts PEEP, FiO2, inspiratory pressure, tidal volume and rate, and uses real-time measures from esophageal manometry to target normal levels of patient effort of breathing. This trial targets 276 children with pulmonary parenchymal disease. Patients are randomized to REDvent vs. usual care for the acute phase of MV (intubation to first Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT)). Patients in either group who fail their first SBT will be randomized to REDvent vs usual care for weaning phase management (interval from first SBT to passing SBT). The primary clinical outcome is length of weaning, with several mechanistic outcomes. Upon completion, this study will provide important information on the pathogenesis and timing of VIDD during MV in children and whether this computerized protocol targeting lung and diaphragm protection can lead to improvement in intermediate clinical outcomes. This will form the basis for a larger, Phase III multi-center study, powered for key clinical outcomes such as 28-day ventilator free days. Clinical Trials Registration: NCT03266016.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mechanical ventilation is an essential life support technology, but it is associated with side effects in case of over or under-assistance. The monitoring of respiratory effort may facilitate titration of the support. The gold standard for respiratory effort measurement is based on esophageal pressure monitoring, a technology not commonly available at bedside. Diaphragmatic electrical activity can be routinely monitored in clinical practice and reflects the output of the respiratory centers. We hypothesized that diaphragmatic electrical activity changes accurately reflect changes in mechanical efforts. The objectives of this study were to characterize the relationship between diaphragmatic electrical activity and esophageal pressure. DESIGN Prospective crossover study. SETTING Esophageal pressure and diaphragmatic electrical activity were simultaneously recorded using a specific nasogastric tube in three conditions: in pressure support ventilation and in neurally adjusted ventilatory support in a random order, and then after extubation. PATIENTS Children in the weaning phase of mechanical ventilation. INTERVENTIONS The maximal swing in esophageal pressure and esophageal pressure-time product, maximum diaphragmatic electrical activity, and inspiratory diaphragmatic electrical activity integral were calculated from 100 consecutive breaths. Neuroventilatory efficiency was estimated using the ratio of tidal volume/maximum diaphragmatic electrical activity. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Sixteen patients, with a median age of 4 months (interquartile range, 0.5-13 mo), and weight 5.8 kg (interquartile range, 4.1-8 kg) were included. A strong linear correlation between maximum diaphragmatic electrical activity and maximal swing in esophageal pressure (r > 0.95), and inspiratory diaphragmatic electrical activity integral and esophageal pressure-time product (r > 0.71) was observed in all ventilatory conditions. This correlation was not modified by the type of ventilatory support. CONCLUSIONS On a short-term basis, diaphragmatic electrical activity changes are strongly correlated with esophageal pressure changes. In clinical practice, diaphragmatic electrical activity monitoring may help to inform on changes in respiratory efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Harmful effects of spontaneous breathing have been shown in experimental severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, in the clinical setting, spontaneous respiration has been indicated only in mild ARDS. To date, no study has compared the effects of spontaneous assisted breathing with those of fully controlled mechanical ventilation at different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on lung injury in ARDS. OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of assisted pressure support ventilation (PSV) with pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) on lung function, histology and biological markers at two different PEEP levels in mild ARDS in rats. DESIGN Randomised controlled experimental study. SETTING Basic science laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-five Wistar rats (weight ± SD, 310 ± 19) g received Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intratracheally. After 24 h, the animals were anaesthetised and randomly allocated to either PCV (n=14) or PSV (n=14) groups. Each group was further assigned to PEEP = 2 cmH2O or PEEP = 5 cmH2O. Tidal volume was kept constant (≈6 ml kg). Additional nonventilated animals (n=7) were used as a control for postmortem analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Ventilatory and mechanical parameters, arterial blood gases, diffuse alveolar damage score, epithelial integrity measured by E-cadherin tissue expression, and biological markers associated with inflammation (IL-6 and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant, CINC-1) and type II epithelial cell damage (surfactant protein-B) were evaluated. RESULTS In both PCV and PSV, peak transpulmonary pressure was lower, whereas E-cadherin tissue expression, which is related to epithelial integrity, was higher at PEEP = 5 cmH2O than at PEEP = 2 cmH2O. In PSV, PEEP = 5 cmH2O compared with PEEP = 2 cmH2O was associated with significantly reduced diffuse alveolar damage score [median (interquartile range), 11 (8.5 to 13.5) vs. 23 (19 to 26), P = 0.005] and expressions of IL-6 and CINC-1 (P = 0.02 for both), whereas surfactant protein-B mRNA expression increased (P = 0.03). These changes suggested less type II epithelial cell damage at a PEEP of 5 cmH2O. Peak transpulmonary pressure correlated positively with IL-6 [Spearman's rho (ρ) = 0.62, P = 0.0007] and CINC-1 expressions (ρ = 0.50, P = 0.01) and negatively with E-cadherin expression (ρ = -0.67, P = 0.0002). CONCLUSION During PSV, PEEP of 5 cmH2O, but not a PEEP of 2 cmH2O, reduced lung damage and inflammatory markers while maintaining epithelial cell integrity.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving measure for those incapable of adequately ventilating or oxygenating without assistance. Unfortunately, even brief periods of MV result in diaphragm weakness (i.e., ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction [VIDD]) that may render it difficult to wean the ventilator. Prolonged MV is associated with cascading complications and is a strong risk factor for death. Thus, prevention of VIDD may have a dramatic impact on mortality rates. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the pathogenic events underlying VIDD. Numerous alterations have been proven important in both human and animal MV diaphragm. These include protein degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome system, autophagy, apoptosis, and calpain activity-all causing diaphragm muscle fiber atrophy, altered energy supply via compromised oxidative phosphorylation and upregulation of glycolysis, and also mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Mitochondrial oxidative stress in fact appears to be a central factor in each of these events. Recent studies by our group and others indicate that mitochondrial function is modulated by several signaling molecules, including Smad3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, and FoxO. MV rapidly activates Smad3 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, which upregulate mitochondrial oxidative stress. Additional roles may be played by angiotensin II and leaky ryanodine receptors causing elevated calcium levels. We present, here, a hypothetical scaffold for understanding the molecular pathogenesis of VIDD, which links together these elements. These pathways harbor several drug targets that could soon move toward testing in clinical trials. We hope that this review will shape a short list of the most promising candidates.

Abstract
The role of spontaneous breathing among patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and ARDS is debated: while avoidance of intubation with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) or high-flow nasal cannula improves clinical outcome, treatment failure worsens mortality. Recent data suggest patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI) as a possible mechanism aggravating lung damage in these patients. P-SILI is generated by intense inspiratory effort yielding: (A) swings in transpulmonary pressure (i.e. lung stress) causing the inflation of big volumes in an aerated compartment markedly reduced by the disease-induced aeration loss; (B) abnormal increases in transvascular pressure, favouring negative-pressure pulmonary edema; (C) an intra-tidal shift of gas between different lung zones, generated by different transmission of muscular force (i.e. pendelluft); (D) diaphragm injury. Experimental data suggest that not all subjects are exposed to the development of P-SILI: patients with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio below 200 mmHg may represent the most at risk population. For them, current evidence indicates that high-flow nasal cannula alone may be superior to intermittent sessions of low-PEEP NIV delivered through face mask, while continuous high-PEEP helmet NIV likely promotes treatment success and may mitigate lung injury. The optimal initial noninvasive treatment of hypoxemic respiratory failure/ARDS remains however uncertain; high-flow nasal cannula and high-PEEP helmet NIV are promising tools to enhance success of the approach, but the best balance between these techniques has yet to be identified. During noninvasive support, careful clinical monitoring remains mandatory for prompt detection of treatment failure, in order not to delay intubation and protective ventilation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction or damage (VIDD) is highly prevalent in patients under mechanical ventilation (MV), but its analysis is limited by the difficulty of obtaining histological samples. In this study we compared diaphragm histological characteristics in Maastricht III (MSIII) and brain-dead (BD) organ donors and in control subjects undergoing thoracic surgery (CTL) after a period of either controlled or spontaneous MV (CMV or SMV). METHODS In this prospective study, biopsies were obtained from diaphragm and quadriceps. Demographic variables, comorbidities, severity on admission, treatment, and ventilatory variables were evaluated. Immunohistochemical analysis (fiber size and type percentages) and quantification of abnormal fibers (a surrogate of muscle damage) were performed. RESULTS Muscle samples were obtained from 35 patients. MSIII (n = 16) had more hours on MV (either CMV or SMV) than BD (n = 14) and also spent more hours and a greater percentage of time with diaphragm stimuli (time in assisted and spontaneous modalities). Cross-sectional area (CSA) was significantly reduced in the diaphragm and quadriceps in both groups in comparison with CTL (n = 5). Quadriceps CSA was significantly decreased in MSIII compared to BD but there were no differences in the diaphragm CSA between the two groups. Those MSIII who spent 100 h or more without diaphragm stimuli presented reduced diaphragm CSA without changes in their quadriceps CSA. The proportion of internal nuclei in MSIII diaphragms tended to be higher than in BD diaphragms, and their proportion of lipofuscin deposits tended to be lower, though there were no differences in the quadriceps fiber evaluation. CONCLUSIONS This study provides the first evidence in humans regarding the effects of different modes of MV (controlled, assisted, and spontaneous) on diaphragm myofiber damage, and shows that diaphragm inactivity during mechanical ventilation is associated with the development of VIDD.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation may cause diaphragm weakness an effect termed ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD). The prevalence of VIDD among patients receiving mechanical ventilation is very high, with the degree of diaphragmatic atrophy being associated with the length of mechanical ventilation. Theophylline is known to increase diaphragmatic contractility and reduce fatigue, so in this study, we evaluated the effect of theophylline in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation.Patients who depended on mechanical ventilation were included in the study. We compared the maximum inspiratory pressure (PImax) values, rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) values, and successful weaning rates of theophylline-treated and non-theophylline-treated patients.Eighty-four patients received theophylline and 76 patients did not. These 2 groups' clinical characteristics, including their PImax and RSBI at initial admission, were similar. The results showed that the theophylline-treated group had significantly better PImax and RSBI, with a higher last PImax (30.1 ± 9.7 cmH2O vs 26.9 ± 9.1 cmH2O; P = .034) and lower last RSBI (107.0 ± 68.4 vs 131.4 ± 77.7; P = .036). The improvements to each respective patient's PImax and RSBI were also significantly higher in the theophylline-treated group (PImax: 20.1 ± 5.7% vs 3.2 ± 1.1%, P = .005; RSBI: 11.2 ± 3.0% vs 2.7 ± 1.6%, P = .015). The weaning success rate of the theophylline-treated group was also higher, but not significantly so.Theophylline might improve respiratory muscle strength in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation and it needs further prospective studies to confirm.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving procedure, which takes over the function of the respiratory muscles while buying time for healing to take place. However, it can also promote or worsen lung injury, so that careful monitoring of respiratory mechanics is suggested to titrate the level of support and avoid injurious pressures and volumes to develop. Standard monitoring includes flow, volume and airway pressure (Paw). However, Paw represents the pressure acting on the respiratory system as a whole, and does not allow to differentiate the part of pressure that is spent di distend the chest wall. Moreover, if spontaneous breathing efforts are allowed, the Paw is the sum of that applied by the ventilator and that generated by the patient. As a consequence, monitoring of Paw has significant shortcomings. Assessment of esophageal pressure (Pes), as a surrogate for pleural pressure (Ppl), may allow the clinicians to discriminate between the elastic behaviour of the lung and the chest wall, and to calculate the degree of spontaneous respiratory effort. In the present review, the characteristics and limitations of airway and transpulmonary pressure monitoring will be presented; we will highlight the different assumptions underlying the various methods for measuring transpulmonary pressure (i.e., the elastance-derived and the release-derived method, and the direct measurement), as well as the potential application of transpulmonary pressure assessment during both controlled and spontaneous/assisted mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) can occur despite use of tidal volume (VT) limited to 6 ml/kg of predicted body weight, especially in patients with a smaller aerated compartment (i.e. the baby lung) in which, indeed, tidal ventilation takes place. Because respiratory system static compliance (CRS) is mostly affected by the volume of the baby lung, the ratio VT/CRS (i.e. the driving pressure, ΔP) may potentially help tailoring interventions on VT setting. RECENT FINDINGS Driving pressure is the ventilatory variable most strongly associated with changes in survival and has been shown to be the key mediator of the effects of mechanical ventilation on outcome in the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Observational data suggest an increased risk of death for patients with ΔP more than 14 cmH2O, but a well tolerated threshold for this parameter has yet to be identified. Prone position along with simple ventilatory adjustments to facilitate CO2 clearance may help reduce ΔP in isocapnic conditions. The safety and feasibility of low-flow extracorporeal CO2 removal in enhancing further reduction in VT and ΔP are currently being investigated. SUMMARY Driving pressure is a bedside available parameter that may help identify patients prone to develop VILI and at increased risk of death. No study had prospectively evaluated whether interventions on ΔP may provide a relevant clinical benefit, but it appears physiologically sound to try titrating VT to minimize ΔP, especially when it is higher than 14 cmH2O and when it has minimal costs in terms of CO2 clearance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of respiratory muscular training in the weaning of mechanical ventilation and respiratory muscle strength in patients on mechanical ventilation of 48hours or more. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial of parallel groups, double-blind. Ambit: Intensive Care Unit of a IV level clinic in the city of Cali. PATIENTS 126 patients in mechanical ventilation for 48hours or more. INTERVENTIONS The experimental group received daily a respiratory muscle training program with treshold, adjusted to 50% of maximal inspiratory pressure, additional to standard care, conventional received standard care of respiratory physiotherapy. MAIN INTEREST VARIABLES: weaning of mechanical ventilation. Other variables evaluated: respiratory muscle strength, requirement of non-invasive mechanical ventilation and frequency of reintubation. ANALYSIS intention-to-treat analysis was performed with all variables evaluated and analysis stratified by sepsis condition. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the median weaning time of the MV between the groups or in the probability of extubation between groups (HR: 0.82 95% CI: 0.55-1.20 P=.29). The maximum inspiratory pressure was increased in the experimental group on average 9.43 (17.48) cmsH20 and in the conventional 5.92 (11.90) cmsH20 (P=.48). The difference between the means of change in maximal inspiratory pressure was 0.46 (P=.83 95%CI -3.85 to -4.78). CONCLUSIONS respiratory muscle training did not demonstrate efficacy in the reduction of the weaning period of mechanical ventilation nor in the increase of respiratory muscle strength in the study population. Registered study at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02469064).

Abstract
With the increase in the global prevalence of obesity, there is a parallel rise in the proportion of obese patients admitted to intensive care units, referred for major surgery or requiring long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV) at home for chronic respiratory failure. We describe the physiological effect of obesity on the respiratory system mainly in terms of respiratory mechanics, respiratory drive, and patency of the upper airways. Particular attention is given to the prevention and the clinical management of respiratory failure in obese patients with a main focus on invasive and NIV in intensive care during the perioperative period and long-term use of NIV on return home. We also address other aspects of care of obese patients, including antibiotic dosing and catheter-related infections.

Effect of inspiratory synchronization during pressure-controlled ventilation on lung distension and inspiratory effort. Ann Intensive Care 2017; 7:100.

Abstract
Background In pressure-controlled (PC) ventilation, tidal volume (VT) and transpulmonary pressure (PL) result from the addition of ventilator pressure and the patient’s inspiratory effort. PC modes can be classified into fully, partially, and non-synchronized modes, and the degree of synchronization may result in different VT and PL despite identical ventilator settings. This study assessed the effects of three PC modes on VT, PL, inspiratory effort (esophageal pressure–time product, PTPes), and airway occlusion pressure, P0.1. We also assessed whether P0.1 can be used for evaluating patient effort. Methods Prospective, randomized, crossover physiologic study performed in 14 spontaneously breathing mechanically ventilated patients recovering from acute respiratory failure (1 subsequently withdrew). PC modes were fully (PC-CMV), partially (PC-SIMV), and non-synchronized (PC-IMV using airway pressure release ventilation) and were applied randomly; driving pressure, inspiratory time, and set respiratory rate being similar for all modes. Airway, esophageal pressure, P0.1, airflow, gas exchange, and hemodynamics were recorded. Results VT was significantly lower during PC-IMV as compared with PC-SIMV and PC-CMV (387 ± 105 vs 458 ± 134 vs 482 ± 108 mL, respectively; p < 0.05). Maximal PL was also significantly lower (13.3 ± 4.9 vs 15.3 ± 5.7 vs 15.5 ± 5.2 cmH2O, respectively; p < 0.05), but PTPes was significantly higher in PC-IMV (215.6 ± 154.3 vs 150.0 ± 102.4 vs 130.9 ± 101.8 cmH2O × s × min−1, respectively; p < 0.05), with no differences in gas exchange and hemodynamic variables. PTPes increased by more than 15% in 10 patients and by more than 50% in 5 patients. An increased P0.1 could identify high levels of PTPes. Conclusions Non-synchronized PC mode lowers VT and PL in comparison with more synchronized modes in spontaneously breathing patients but can increase patient effort and may need specific adjustments.

Abstract
Respiratory muscle contractile inactivity during mechanical ventilation (MV) induces diaphragm muscle weakness, a condition referred to as ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). Although VIDD pathophysiological mechanisms are still not fully understood, it has been recently suggested that remodeling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium release channel/ryanodine receptors (RyR1) in the diaphragm is a proximal mechanism of VIDD. Here, we used piglets, a large animal model of VIDD that is more relevant to human pathophysiology, to determine whether RyR1 alterations are observed in the presence of diaphragm weakness. In piglets, diaphragm weakness induced by 72 h of respiratory muscle unloading was associated with SR RyR1 remodeling and abnormal resting SR Ca2+ leak in the diaphragm. Specifically, following controlled mechanical ventilation, diaphragm contractile function was reduced. Moreover, RyR1 macromolecular complexes were more oxidized, S-nitrosylated and phosphorylated at Ser-2844 and depleted of the stabilizing subunit calstabin1 compared with controls on adaptive support ventilation that maintains diaphragmatic contractile activity. Our study strongly supports the hypothesis that RyR1 is a potential therapeutic target in VIDD and the interest of using small molecule drugs to prevent RyR1-mediated SR Ca2+ leak induced by respiratory muscle unloading in patients who require controlled mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Background Poor patient-ventilator synchronization is often observed during pressure support ventilation (PSV) and has been associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and poor outcome. Diaphragmatic electrical activity (Eadi) recorded using specialized nasogastric tubes is a surrogate of respiratory brain stem output. This study aimed at testing whether adapting ventilator settings during PSV using a protocolized Eadi-based optimization strategy, or Eadi-triggered and -cycled assisted pressure ventilation (or PSVN) could (1) improve patient-ventilator interaction and (2) reduce or normalize patient respiratory effort as estimated by the work of breathing (WOB) and the pressure time product (PTP). Methods This was a prospective cross-over study. Patients with a known chronic pulmonary obstructive or restrictive disease, asynchronies or suspected intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) who were ventilated using PSV were enrolled in the study. Four different ventilator settings were sequentially applied for 15 minutes (step 1: baseline PSV as set by the clinician, step 2: Eadi-optimized PSV to adjust PS level, inspiratory trigger, and cycling settings, step 3: step 2 + PEEP adjustment, step 4: PSVN). The same settings as step 3 were applied again after step 4 to rule out a potential effect of time. Breathing pattern, trigger delay (Td), inspiratory time in excess (Tiex), pressure-time product (PTP), and work of breathing (WOB) were measured at the end of each step. Results Eleven patients were enrolled in the study. Eadi-optimized PSV reduced Td without altering Tiex in comparison with baseline PSV. PSVN reduced Td and Tiex in comparison with baseline and Eadi-optimized PSV. Respiratory pattern did not change during the four steps. The improvement in patient-ventilator interaction did not lead to changes in WOB or PTP. Conclusions Eadi-optimized PSV allows improving patient ventilator interaction but does not alter patient effort in patients with mild asynchrony.

Abstract
Diaphragm function is crucial for patient outcome in the ICU setting and during the treatment period. The occurrence of an insufficiency of the respiratory pump, which is predominantly formed by the diaphragm, may result in intubation after failure of noninvasive ventilation. Especially patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are in danger of hypercapnic respiratory failure. Changes in biomechanical properties and fiber texture of the diaphragm are further cofactors directly leading to a need for intubation and mechanical ventilation. After intubation and the following inactivity the diaphragm is subject to profound pathophysiologic changes resulting in atrophy and dysfunction. Besides this inactivity-triggered mechanism (termed as ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction) multiple factors, comorbidities, pharmaceutical agents and additional hits during the ICU treatment, especially the occurrence of sepsis, influence diaphragm homeostasis and can lead to weaning failure. During the weaning process monitoring of diaphragm function can be done with invasive methods - ultrasound is increasingly established to monitor diaphragm contraction, but further and better powered studies are in need to prove its value as a diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Perioperative necessity of deep sedation is inevitably associated with diaphragmatic inactivation. This study investigated 1) the feasibility of a new phrenic nerve stimulation method allowing early diaphragmatic activation even in deep sedation and, 2) metabolic changes within the diaphragm during mechanical ventilation compared to artificial activity. 12 piglets were separated into 2 groups. One group was mechanically ventilated for 12 hrs (CMV) and in the second group both phrenic nerves were stimulated via pacer wires inserted near the phrenic nerves to mimic spontaneous breathing (STIM). Lactate, pyruvate and glucose levels were measured continuously using microdialysis. Oxygen delivery and blood gases were measured during both conditions. Diaphragmatic stimulation generated sufficient tidal volumes in all STIM animals. Diaphragm lactate release increased in CMV transiently whereas in STIM lactate dropped during this same time point (2.6 vs. 0.9 mmol L-1 after 5:20 hrs; p < 0.001). CMV increased diaphragmatic pyruvate (40 vs. 146 μmol L-1 after 5:20 hrs between CMV and STIM; p < 0.0001), but not the lactate/pyruvate ratio. Diaphragmatic stimulation via regular electrodes is feasible to generate sufficient ventilation, even in deep sedation. Mechanical ventilation alters the metabolic state of the diaphragm, which might be one pathophysiologic origin of ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. Occurrence of hypoxia was unlikely.

Abstract
Background In patients with emphysema, invasive mechanical ventilation settings should be adjusted to minimize hyperinflation while reducing respiratory effort and providing adequate gas exchange. We evaluated the impact of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) and pressure support ventilation (PSV) on pulmonary and diaphragmatic damage, as well as cardiac function, in experimental emphysema. Methods Emphysema was induced by intratracheal instillation of porcine pancreatic elastase in Wistar rats, once weekly for 4 weeks. Control animals received saline under the same protocol. Eight weeks after first instillation, control and emphysema rats were randomly assigned to PCV (n = 6/each) or PSV (n = 6/each) under protective tidal volume (6 ml/kg) for 4 h. Non-ventilated control and emphysema animals (n = 6/group) were used to characterize the model and for molecular biology analysis. Cardiorespiratory function, lung histology, diaphragm ultrastructure alterations, extracellular matrix organization, diaphragmatic proteolysis, and biological markers associated with pulmonary inflammation, alveolar stretch, and epithelial and endothelial cell damage were assessed. Results Emphysema animals exhibited cardiorespiratory changes that resemble human emphysema, such as increased areas of lung hyperinflation, pulmonary amphiregulin expression, and diaphragmatic injury. In emphysema animals, PSV compared to PCV yielded: no changes in gas exchange; decreased mean transpulmonary pressure (Pmean,L), ratio between inspiratory and total time (Ti/Ttot), lung hyperinflation, and amphiregulin expression in lung; increased ratio of pulmonary artery acceleration time to pulmonary artery ejection time, suggesting reduced right ventricular afterload; and increased ultrastructural damage to the diaphragm. Amphiregulin correlated with Pmean,L (r = 0.99, p < 0.0001) and hyperinflation (r = 0.70, p = 0.043), whereas Ti/Ttot correlated with hyperinflation (r = 0.81, p = 0.002) and Pmean,L (r = 0.60, p = 0.04). Conclusions In the model of elastase-induced emphysema used herein, PSV reduced lung damage and improved cardiac function when compared to PCV, but worsened diaphragmatic injury.

Abstract
Weakness is common in critically ill patients, associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and increased mortality. Corticosteroids and neuromuscular blockade (NMB) administration have been implicated as etiologies of acquired weakness in the intensive care unit. Medical literature since the 1970s is replete with case reports and small case series of patients with weakness after receiving high-dose corticosteroids, prolonged NMB, or both. Several risk factors for weakness appear in the early literature, including large doses of steroids, the dose and duration of NMB, hyperglycemia, and the duration of mechanical ventilation. With improved quality of data, however, the association between weakness and steroids or NMB wanes. This may reflect changes in clinical practice, such as a reduction in steroid dosing, use of cisatracurium besylate instead of aminosteroid NMBs, improved glycemic control, or trends in minimizing mechanical ventilatory support. Thus, based on the most recent and high-quality literature, neither corticosteroids in commonly used doses nor NMB is associated with increased duration of mechanical ventilation, the greatest morbidity of weakness. Minimizing ventilator support as soon as the patient's condition allows may be associated with a reduction in weakness-related morbidity.

Abstract
Muscular weakness and muscle wasting may often be observed in critically ill patients on intensive care units (ICUs) and may present as failure to wean from mechanical ventilation. Importantly, mounting data demonstrate that mechanical ventilation itself may induce progressive dysfunction of the main respiratory muscle, i.e. the diaphragm. The respective condition was termed 'ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction' (VIDD) and should be distinguished from peripheral muscular weakness as observed in 'ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW)'. Interestingly, VIDD and ICU-AW may often be observed in critically ill patients with, e.g. severe sepsis or septic shock, and recent data demonstrate that the pathophysiology of these conditions may overlap. VIDD may mainly be characterized on a histopathological level as disuse muscular atrophy, and data demonstrate increased proteolysis and decreased protein synthesis as important underlying pathomechanisms. However, atrophy alone does not explain the observed loss of muscular force. When, e.g. isolated muscle strips are examined and force is normalized for cross-sectional fibre area, the loss is disproportionally larger than would be expected by atrophy alone. Nevertheless, although the exact molecular pathways for the induction of proteolytic systems remain incompletely understood, data now suggest that VIDD may also be triggered by mechanisms including decreased diaphragmatic blood flow or increased oxidative stress. Here we provide a concise review on the available literature on respiratory muscle weakness and VIDD in the critically ill. Potential underlying pathomechanisms will be discussed before the background of current diagnostic options. Furthermore, we will elucidate and speculate on potential novel future therapeutic avenues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation (MV) is associated with diaphragm weakness, a phenomenon termed ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. Weaning should balance diaphragmatic loading as well as prevention of overload after MV. The weaning methods pressure support ventilation (PSV) and spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) lead to gradual or intermittent reloading of a weak diaphragm, respectively. This study investigated which weaning method allows more efficient restoration of diaphragm homeostasis. METHODS Rats (n = 8 per group) received 12 h of MV followed by either 12 h of pressure support ventilation (PSV) or intermittent spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) and were compared to rats euthanized after 12 h MV (CMV) and to acutely euthanized rats (CON). Force generation, activity of calpain-1 and caspase-3, oxidative stress, and markers of protein synthesis (phosphorylated AKT to total AKT) were measured in the diaphragm. RESULTS Reduction of diaphragmatic force caused by CMV compared to CON was worsened with PSV and SBT (both p < 0.05 vs. CON and CMV). Both PSV and SBT reversed oxidative stress and calpain-1 activation caused by CMV. Reduced pAKT/AKT was observed after CMV and both weaning procedures. CONCLUSIONS MV resulted in a loss of diaphragmatic contractility, which was aggravated in SBT and PSV despite reversal of oxidative stress and proteolysis.

Abstract
Muscle involvement is found in most critical patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Diaphragmatic muscle alteration, initially included in this category, has been differentiated in recent years, and a specific type of muscular dysfunction has been shown to occur in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. We found this muscle dysfunction to appear in this subgroup of patients shortly after the start of mechanical ventilation, observing it to be mainly associated with certain control modes, and also with sepsis and/or multi-organ failure. Although the specific etiology of process is unknown, the muscle presents oxidative stress and mitochondrial changes. These cause changes in protein turnover, resulting in atrophy and impaired contractility, and leading to impaired functionality. The term 'ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction' was first coined by Vassilakopoulos et al. in 2004, and this phenomenon, along with injury cause by over-distention of the lung and barotrauma, represents a challenge in the daily life of ventilated patients. Diaphragmatic dysfunction affects prognosis by delaying extubation, prolonging hospital stay, and impairing the quality of life of these patients in the years following hospital discharge. Ultrasound, a non-invasive technique that is readily available in most ICUs, could be used to diagnose this condition promptly, thus preventing delays in starting rehabilitation and positively influencing prognosis in these patients.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) with hyperoxia is required for providing life support to patients with acute lung injury (ALI). However, MV may cause diaphragm weakness through muscle injury and atrophy, an effect termed ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD). Src protein tyrosine kinase and class O of forkhead box 1 (FoxO1) mediate acute inflammatory responses and muscle protein degradation induced by oxidative stress. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been reported to improve hyperoxia-augmented ALI; however, the mechanisms regulating the interactions among VIDD, hyperoxia, and iPSCs are unclear. In this study, we hypothesized that iPSC therapy can ameliorate hyperoxia-augmented VIDD by suppressing the Src-FoxO1 pathway. Male C57BL/6 mice, either wild-type or Src-deficient, aged between 6 and 8 weeks were exposed to MV (6 or 10 mL/kg) with or without hyperoxia for 2-8 h after the administration of 5 × 10(7) cells/kg Oct4/Sox2/Parp1 mouse iPSCs or iPSC-derived conditioned medium (iPSC-CM). Nonventilated mice were used as controls. MV during hyperoxia aggravated VIDD, as demonstrated by the increases in Src activation, FoxO1 dephosphorylation, malondialdehyde, caspase-3, atrogin-1 and muscle ring finger-1 production, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3-II, disorganized myofibrils, disrupted mitochondria, autophagy, and myonuclear apoptosis; however, MV with hyperoxia reduced mitochondrial cytochrome C, diaphragm muscle fiber size, and contractility (P < 0.05). Hyperoxia-exacerbated VIDD was attenuated in Src-deficient mice and by iPSCs and iPSC-CM (P < 0.05). Our data indicate that iPSC therapy attenuates MV-induced diaphragmatic injury that occurs during hyperoxia-augmented VIDD by inhibiting the Src-FoxO1 signaling pathway.

A clinical crossover study. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2016; 20:142. [PMID: 27160458 PMCID: PMC4862136 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-016-1290-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 83] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2015] [Accepted: 04/08/2016] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Background Preservation of spontaneous breathing (SB) is sometimes debated because it has potentially both negative and positive effects on lung injury in comparison with fully controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV). We wanted (1) to verify in mechanically ventilated patients if the change in transpulmonary pressure was similar between pressure support ventilation (PSV) and CMV for a similar tidal volume, (2) to estimate the influence of SB on alveolar pressure (Palv), and (3) to determine whether a reliable plateau pressure could be measured during pressure support ventilation (PSV). Methods We studied ten patients equipped with esophageal catheters undergoing three levels of PSV followed by a phase of CMV. For each condition, we calculated the maximal and mean transpulmonary (ΔPL) swings and Palv. Results Overall, ΔPL was similar between CMV and PSV, but only loosely correlated. The differences in ΔPL between CMV and PSV were explained largely by different inspiratory flows, indicating that the resistive pressure drop caused this difference. By contrast, the Palv profile was very different between CMV and SB; SB led to progressively more negative Palv during inspiration, and Palv became lower than the set positive end-expiratory pressure in nine of ten patients at low PSV. Finally, inspiratory occlusion holds performed during PSV led to plateau and Δ PL pressures comparable with those measured during CMV. Conclusions Under similar conditions of flow and volume, transpulmonary pressure change is similar between CMV and PSV. SB during mechanical ventilation can cause remarkably negative swings in Palv, a mechanism by which SB might potentially induce lung injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of different modes of mechanical ventilation in the same ventilatory support level on ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction onset were assessed in healthy rabbits. METHODS Twenty New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n = 5 in each group). Group 1: no mechanical ventilation; group 2: controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) for 24 hours; group 3: assist/control ventilation (A/C) mode for 24 hours; group 4: high-level pressure support ventilation (PSV) mode for 24 hours. Heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, PH, partial pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen and partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide were monitored and diaphragm electrical activity was analyzed in the 4 groups. Caspase-3 was evaluated by protein analysis and diaphragm ultra structure was assessed by electron microscopy. RESULTS The centroid frequency and the ratio of high frequency to low frequency were significantly reduced in the CMV, A/C and PSV groups (P < 0.001). The percent change in centroid frequency was significantly lower in the PSV group than in the CMV and A/C groups (P = 0.001 and P = 0.028, respectively). Electromyography of diaphragm integral amplitude decreased by 90% ± 1.48%, 67.8% ± 3.13% and 70.2% ± 4.72% in the CMV, A/C and PSV groups, respectively (P < 0.001). Caspase-3 protein activation was attenuated in the PSV group compared with the CMV and A/C groups (P = 0.035 and P = 0.033, respectively). Irregular swelling of mitochondria along with fractured and fuzzy cristae was observed in the CMV group, whereas mitochondrial cristae were dense and rich in the PSV group. The mitochondrial injury scores (Flameng scores) in the PSV group were the lowest among the 3 ventilatory groups (0.93 ± 0.09 in PSV versus 2.69 ± 0.05 in the CMV [P < 0.01] and PSV versus A/C groups [2.02 ± 0.08, P < 0.01]). CONCLUSIONS The diaphragm myoelectric activity was reduced in the PSV group, although excessive oxidative stress and ultra-structural changes of diaphragm were found. However, partial diaphragm electrical activity was retained and diaphragm injury was minimized using the PSV mode.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of theophylline in patients with ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who required mechanical ventilation at least 72 hours, met the criteria for a spontaneous breathing trial, and had evidence of VIDD by ultrasonography were included in the study. RESULTS Of the 40 patients, 21 received theophylline and 19 did not. Clinical characteristics were similar in the 2 groups. Assessment of VIDD showed no between-group differences in baseline diaphragmatic excursion (DE) of both hemidiaphragms. Changes in DE from baseline to 72 hours (ΔDE) were significantly higher in the theophylline group than in the nontheophylline group in the right (3.5 ± 4.5 mm vs 0.4 ± 2.1 mm; P = .004) and left (3.2 ± 5.1 mm vs 0.1 ± 4.0 mm; P = .03) hemidiaphragms and in the total DE of both diaphragms (6.9 ± 9.1 mm vs 0.5 ± 5.7 mm; P = .02). In the theophylline group, theophylline was effective for the diaphragms with VIDD, whereas it was not effective for the diaphragms without VIDD. ΔDE in the right (rs = -0.49, P = .006) hemidiaphragm and total Δ DE in both diaphragms (rs = -0.46, P = .01) correlated negatively with weaning time. CONCLUSIONS Theophylline significantly improved diaphragmatic movements in patients with VIDD. Our results warrant a larger study to determine whether theophylline use has benefits during weaning from mechanical ventilation.
