COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2024; 255:108323. [PMID: 39029417 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2024.108323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) is associated with poor clinical outcomes and remains under-monitored. Automated PVA detection would enable complete monitoring standard observational methods do not allow. While model-based and machine learning PVA approaches exist, they have variable performance and can miss specific PVA events. This study compares a model and rule-based algorithm with a machine learning PVA method by retrospectively validating both methods using an independent patient cohort. METHODS Hysteresis loop analysis (HLA) which is a rule-based method (RBM) and a tri-input convolutional neural network (TCNN) machine learning model are used to classify 7 different types of PVA, including: 1) flow asynchrony; 2) reverse triggering; 3) premature cycling; 4) double triggering; 5) delayed cycling; 6) ineffective efforts; and 7) auto triggering. Class activation mapping (CAM) heatmaps visualise sections of respiratory waveforms the TCNN model uses for decision making, improving result interpretability. Both PVA classification methods were used to classify incidence in an independent retrospective clinical cohort of 11 mechanically ventilated patients for validation and performance comparison. RESULTS Self-validation with the training dataset shows overall better HLA performance (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity: 97.5 %, 96.6 %, 98.1 %) compared to the TCNN model (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity: 89.5 %, 98.3 %, 83.9 %). In this study, the TCNN model demonstrates higher sensitivity in detecting PVA, but HLA was better at identifying non-PVA breathing cycles due to its rule-based nature. While the overall AI identified by both classification methods are very similar, the intra-patient distribution of each PVA type varies between HLA and TCNN. CONCLUSION The collective findings underscore the efficacy of both HLA and TCNN in PVA detection, indicating the potential for real-time continuous monitoring of PVA. While ML methods such as TCNN demonstrate good PVA identification performance, it is essential to ensure optimal model architecture and diversity in training data before widespread uptake as standard care. Moving forward, further validation and adoption of RBM methods, such as HLA, offers an effective approach to PVA detection while providing clear distinction into the underlying patterns of PVA, better aligning with clinical needs for transparency, explicability, adaptability and reliability of these emerging tools for clinical care.

Computational physiological models for individualised mechanical ventilation: a systematic literature review focussing on quality, availability, and clinical readiness. Crit Care 2023; 27:268. [PMID: 37415253 PMCID: PMC10327331 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04549-9] [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: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individualised optimisation of mechanical ventilation (MV) remains cumbersome in modern intensive care medicine. Computerised, model-based support systems could help in tailoring MV settings to the complex interactions between MV and the individual patient's pathophysiology. Therefore, we critically appraised the current literature on computational physiological models (CPMs) for individualised MV in the ICU with a focus on quality, availability, and clinical readiness. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted on 13 February 2023 in MEDLINE ALL, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science to identify original research articles describing CPMs for individualised MV in the ICU. The modelled physiological phenomena, clinical applications, and level of readiness were extracted. The quality of model design reporting and validation was assessed based on American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards. RESULTS Out of 6,333 unique publications, 149 publications were included. CPMs emerged since the 1970s with increasing levels of readiness. A total of 131 articles (88%) modelled lung mechanics, mainly for lung-protective ventilation. Gas exchange (n = 38, 26%) and gas homeostasis (n = 36, 24%) models had mainly applications in controlling oxygenation and ventilation. Respiratory muscle function models for diaphragm-protective ventilation emerged recently (n = 3, 2%). Three randomised controlled trials were initiated, applying the Beacon and CURE Soft models for gas exchange and PEEP optimisation. Overall, model design and quality were reported unsatisfactory in 93% and 21% of the articles, respectively. CONCLUSION CPMs are advancing towards clinical application as an explainable tool to optimise individualised MV. To promote clinical application, dedicated standards for quality assessment and model reporting are essential. Trial registration number PROSPERO- CRD42022301715 . Registered 05 February, 2022.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Respiratory mechanics of mechanically ventilated patients evolve significantly with time, disease state and mechanical ventilation (MV) treatment. Existing deterministic data prediction methods fail to comprehensively describe the multiple sources of heterogeneity of biological systems. This research presents two respiratory mechanics stochastic models with increased prediction accuracy and range, offering improved clinical utility in MV treatment. METHODS Two stochastic models (SM2 and SM3) were developed using retrospective patient respiratory elastance (Ers) from two clinical cohorts which were averaged over time intervals of 10 and 30 min respectively. A stochastic model from a previous study (SM1) was used to benchmark performance. The stochastic models were clinically validated on an independent retrospective clinical cohort of 14 patients. Differences in predictive ability were evaluated using the difference in percentile lines and cumulative distribution density (CDD) curves. RESULTS Clinical validation shows all three models captured more than 98% (median) of future Ers data within the 5th - 95th percentile range. Comparisons of stochastic model percentile lines reported a maximum mean absolute percentage difference of 5.2%. The absolute differences of CDD curves were less than 0.25 in the ranges of 5 < Ers (cmH2O/L) < 85, suggesting similar predictive capabilities within this clinically relevant Ers range. CONCLUSION The new stochastic models significantly improve prediction, clinical utility, and thus feasibility for synchronisation with clinical interventions. Paired with other MV protocols, the stochastic models developed can potentially form part of decision support systems, providing guided, personalised, and safe MV treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal setting of mechanical ventilators is critical for improving outcomes. Accurate, predictive lung mechanics models are effective in optimizing MV settings, but only at a global level as they cannot estimate regional lung volume ventilation to assess the potential of local distension or under-ventilation. This study presents a low-cost structured light system for non-contact high resolution chest motion measurement to estimate regional lung volume changes. METHODS The system consists of a structured light projector and two cameras. A new pattern is designed to extract motion from sub-regions of the chest surface, and an efficient feature is proposed to provide a fast and accurate correspondence matching between two views. Reconstruction of 3D surface points is based on the matched points and stereo method. Asymmetric distribution of tidal volume into left and right lungs is estimated based on reconstructed regional chest expansion. A proof-of-concept experiment using a dummy model and two test lungs connected to a ventilator to provide differential chest expansion is conducted under tidal volumes of 400 ml, 500 ml and 600 ml, with results compared to the widely-used SURF and ORB methods. RESULTS Compared to the SURF and ORB methods, the proposed method is more computationally efficient with ∼40% less computational time cost, and higher accuracy for dense point correspondence. Finally, the proposed method estimated the region lung volumes with the maximum error of 8 ml under 600 ml tidal volume, indicating a good accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Surface reconstruction results in a proof-of-concept experiment with differential chest expansion show good performance for the proposed pattern and method in extracting the key information for regional chest expansion. The proposed method is generalizable, with potential for use in other applications.
