[PMID: 38515271 PMCID: PMC10962309 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2331062] [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: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a common technique in cardiac surgery but is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), which carries considerable morbidity and mortality. In this review, we explore the range and definition of CPB-associated AKI and discuss the possible impact of different disease recognition methods on research outcomes. Furthermore, we introduce the specialized equipment and procedural intricacies associated with CPB surgeries. Based on recent research, we discuss the potential pathogenesis of AKI that may result from CPB, including compromised perfusion and oxygenation, inflammatory activation, oxidative stress, coagulopathy, hemolysis, and endothelial damage. Finally, we explore current interventions aimed at preventing and attenuating renal impairment related to CPB, and presenting these measures from three perspectives: (1) avoiding CPB to eliminate the fundamental impact on renal function; (2) optimizing CPB by adjusting equipment parameters, optimizing surgical procedures, or using improved materials to mitigate kidney damage; (3) employing pharmacological or interventional measures targeting pathogenic factors.

Assessment of continuous low-dose and high-dose burst of inhaled nitric oxide in spontaneously breathing COVID-19 patients: A randomized controlled trial. Nitric Oxide 2024; 149:41-48. [PMID: 38880198 DOI: 10.1016/j.niox.2024.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) showed to improve oxygenation at low doses by reducing intrapulmonary shunt and to display antiviral properties at high doses. To assess the safety and potential benefits, we designed an exploratory clinical trial comparing low-dose with intermittent high-dose iNO to only intermittent high-dose iNO in hypoxemic COVID-19 patients. METHODS In this single-center interventional non-inferiority randomized trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04476992), twenty oxygen-dependent COVID-19 patients were randomly assigned to the high-dose (200 ppm for 30 min) + continuous low-dose (20 ppm) iNO group (iNO200/20) or the high-dose iNO group (iNO200). Methemoglobinemia (MetHb) assessed 48 h after iNO initiation was the primary endpoint. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2, inflammatory markers during hospitalization, and heart ultrasounds during the iNO200 treatments were evaluated. RESULTS MetHb difference between iNO groups remained within the non-inferiority limit of 3 %, indicating comparable treatments despite being statistically different (p-value<0.01). Both groups presented similar SpO2/FiO2 ratio at 48 h (iNO200 vs. iNO200/20 341[334-356] vs. 359 [331-380], respectively, p-value = 0.436). Both groups showed the same time to SARS-CoV-2 negativization, hospital length of stay, and recovery time. iNO-treated patients showed quicker SARS-CoV-2 negativization compared to a similar group of non-iNO patients (HR 2.57, 95%CI 1.04-6.33). During the 228 treatments, iNO200 and iNO200/20 groups were comparable for safety, hemodynamic stability, and respiratory function improvement. CONCLUSIONS iNO200/20 and iNO200 are equally safe in non-intubated patients with COVID-19-induced respiratory failure with regards to MetHb and NO2. Larger studies should investigate whether iNO200/20 leads to better outcomes compared to non-iNO treated patients.

Abstract
Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) has been used in pediatric and adult perioperative cardiac intensive care for over three decades. NO is a cellular signaling molecule that induces smooth muscle relaxation in the mammalian vasculature. Inhaled NO has the unique ability to exert its vasodilatory effects in the pulmonary vasculature without any hypotensive side-effects in the systemic circulation. In patients undergoing cardiac surgery, NO has been reported in numerous studies to exert beneficial effects on acutely lowering pulmonary artery pressure and reversing right ventricular dysfunction and/or failure. Yet, various investigations failed to demonstrate significant differences in long-term clinical outcomes. The authors, serving as an advisory board of international experts in the field of inhaled NO within pediatric and adult cardiac surgery, will discuss how the existing scientific evidence can be further improved. We will summarize the basic mechanisms underlying the clinical applications of inhaled NO and how this translates into the mandate for inhaled NO in cardiac surgery. We will move on to the popular use of inhaled NO and will talk about the evidence base of the use of this selective pulmonary vasodilator. This review will elucidate what kind of clinical and biological barriers and gaps in knowledge need to be solved and how this has impacted in the development of clinical trials. The authors will elaborate on how the optimization of inhaled NO therapy, the development of biomarkers to identify the target population and the definition of response can improve the design of future large clinical trials. We will explain why it is mandatory to gain an international consensus for the state of the art of NO therapy far beyond this expert advisory board by including the different major players in the field, such as the different medical societies and the pharma industry to improve our understanding of the real-life effects of inhaled NO in large scale observational studies. The design for future innovative randomized controlled trials on inhaled NO therapy in cardiac surgery, adequately powered and based on enhanced biological phenotyping, will be crucial to eventually provide scientific evidence of its clinical efficacy beyond its beneficial hemodynamic properties.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is required in the Berlin definition of acute respiratory distress syndrome and is a cornerstone of its treatment. Application of PEEP increases airway pressure and modifies pleural and transpulmonary pressures according to respiratory mechanics, resulting in blood volume alteration into the pulmonary circulation. This can in turn affect right ventricular preload, afterload and function. At the opposite, PEEP may improve left ventricular function, providing no deleterious effect occurs on the right ventricle. RECENT FINDINGS This review examines the impact of PEEP on cardiac function with regards to heart-lung interactions, and describes its consequences on organs perfusion and function, including the kidney, gut, liver and the brain. PEEP in itself is not beneficious nor detrimental on end-organ hemodynamics, but its hemodynamic effects vary according to both respiratory mechanics and association with other hemodynamic variables such as central venous or mean arterial pressure. There are parallels in the means of preventing deleterious impact of PEEP on the lungs, heart, kidney, liver and central nervous system. SUMMARY The quest for optimal PEEP settings has been a prominent goal in ARDS research for the last decades. Intensive care physician must maintain a high degree of vigilance towards hemodynamic effects of PEEP on cardiac function and end-organs circulation.

Unraveling the impact of nitric oxide, almitrine, and their combination in COVID-19 (at the edge of sepsis) patients: a systematic review. Front Pharmacol 2024; 14:1172447. [PMID: 38318311 PMCID: PMC10839063 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1172447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a large number of critically ill and severe COVID-19 patients meet the diagnostic criteria for sepsis and even septic shock. The treatments for COVID-19 patients with sepsis are still very limited. For sepsis, improving ventilation is one of the main treatments. Nitric oxide (NO) and almitrine have been reported to improve oxygenation in patients with "classical" sepsis. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NO, almitrine, and the combination of both for COVID-19 (at the edge of sepsis) patients. Method: A systematic search was performed on Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, the Web of Science, Wanfang Data, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Randomized clinical trials, cohort studies, cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, case series, and case reports in COVID-19 patients with suspected or confirmed sepsis were performed. Study characteristics, patient demographics, interventions, and outcomes were extracted from eligible articles. Results: A total of 35 studies representing 1,701 patients met eligibility criteria. Inhaled NO did not affect the mortality (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.33-2.8, I2 = 81%, very low certainty), hospital length of stay (SMD 0.62, 95% CI 0.04-1.17, I2 = 83%, very low certainty), and intubation needs (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.34-1.93, I2 = 56%, very low certainty) of patients with COVID-19 (at the edge of sepsis). Meanwhile, almitrine did not affect the mortality (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.17-1.13, low certainty), hospital length of stay (SMD 0.00, 95% CI -0.29-0.29, low certainty), intubation needs (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.5-1.79, low certainty), and SAEs (OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.63-2.15, low certainty). Compared with pre-administration, the PaO2/FiO2 of patients with NO (SMD-0.87, 95% CI -1.08-0.66, I2 = 0%, very low certainty), almitrine (SMD-0.73, 95% CI-1.06-0.4, I2 = 1%, very low certainty), and the combination of both (SMD-0.94, 95% CI-1.71-0.16, I2 = 47%, very low certainty) increased significantly. Conclusion: Inhaled NO, almitrine, and the combination of the two drugs improved oxygenation significantly, but did not affect the patients' mortality, hospitalization duration, and intubation needs. Almitrine did not significantly increase the patients' SAEs. Well-designed high-quality studies are needed for establishing a stronger quality of evidence.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-28042-6. [PMID: 37328721 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-28042-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The associations and interactions between kidney function and other air pollutants remain poorly defined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate associations among air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM) with a diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), PM10 (PM with a diameter ≤ 10 μm), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3) with kidney function, and explore interactions among these air pollutants on kidney function. We used the Taiwan Air Quality Monitoring and Taiwan Biobank databases to derive data on community-dwelling individuals in Taiwan and daily air pollution levels, respectively. We enrolled 26,032 participants. Multivariable analysis showed that high levels of PM2.5, PM10, O3 (all p < 0.001), and SO2 (p = 0.001) and low levels of CO, NO (both p < 0.001), and NOx (p = 0.047) were significantly correlated with low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). With regard to negative effects, the interactions between PM2.5 and PM10 (p < 0.001), PM2.5 and PM10 (p < 0.001), PM2.5 and SO2, PM10 and O3 (both p = 0.025), PM10 and SO2 (p = 0.001), and O3 and SO2 (p < 0.001) on eGFR were significantly negatively. High PM10, PM2.5, O3, and SO2 were associated with a low eGFR, whereas high CO, NO, and NOx were associated with a high eGFR. Furthermore, negative interactions between PM2.5 and PM10, O3 and SO2, PM10 and O3, PM2.5 and SO2, and PM10 and SO2 on eGFR were observed. The findings of this study have important implications for public health and environmental policy. Specifically, the results of this study may be useful in individuals and organizations to take action to reduce air pollution and promote public health.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition, characterized by diffuse inflammatory lung injury. Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread worldwide, the most common cause of ARDS has been the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Both the COVID-19-associated ARDS and the ARDS related to other causes-also defined as classical ARDS-are burdened by high mortality and morbidity. For these reasons, effective therapeutic interventions are urgently needed. Among them, inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) has been studied in patients with ARDS since 1993 and it is currently under investigation. In this review, we aim at describing the biological and pharmacological rationale of iNO treatment in ARDS by elucidating similarities and differences between classical and COVID-19 ARDS. Thereafter, we present the available evidence on the use of iNO in clinical practice in both types of respiratory failure. Overall, iNO seems a promising agent as it could improve the ventilation/perfusion mismatch, gas exchange impairment, and right ventricular failure, which are reported in ARDS. In addition, iNO may act as a viricidal agent and prevent lung hyperinflammation and thrombosis of the pulmonary vasculature in the specific setting of COVID-19 ARDS. However, the current evidence on the effects of iNO on outcomes is limited and clinical studies are yet to demonstrate any survival benefit by administering iNO in ARDS.

Abstract
Aerosolized prostacyclins are frequently used in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and refractory hypoxia. Previous studies have shown improvement in oxygenation with use of pulmonary vasodilators such as iloprost and epoprostenol; however, there is no head-to-head comparison between these agents. OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of inhaled epoprostenol and inhaled iloprost in critically ill patients with refractory hypoxia. DESIGN SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patients admitted to the ICUs at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center between 2015 and 2018. Adult patients who received aerosolized epoprostenol or iloprost for more than 4 hours were included in the analysis. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary endpoint measured was to compare the change in Pao2/Fio2 ratio between patients treated with iloprost compared with epoprostenol. Secondary outcomes measured were 90-day in-hospital mortality and improvement in vasopressor requirements. RESULTS A total of 126 patients were included in the study, 95 of whom received iloprost (75%) and 31 patients (25%) received epoprostenol. There were significant improvements in Pao2/Fio2 ratio in both the iloprost and epoprostenol group. Patients in the epoprostenol group appeared to have a higher 90-day mortality compared with the iloprost group. However, our study was not powered to detect a mortality difference and this finding likely represents a sicker population in the epoprostenol group and prescription bias. The use of iloprost was associated with higher vasopressor requirements in the first 12 hours of administration, an association was not observed in the epoprostenol group. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this retrospective cohort analysis, use of both pulmonary vasodilators was associated with similar improvement in gas exchange. The mortality difference observed likely represents difference in severity of illness. Further studies are needed to corroborate these findings.

Abstract
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic of 2019 has resulted in significant morbidity and mortality, especially from severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). As of September 2022, more than 6.5 million patients have died globally, and up to 5% required intensive care unit treatment. COVID-19-associated ARDS (CARDS) differs from the typical ARDS due to distinct pathology involving the pulmonary vasculature endothelium, resulting in diffuse thrombi in the pulmonary circulation and impaired gas exchange. The National Institute of Health and the Society of Critical Care Medicine recommend lung-protective ventilation, prone ventilation, and neuromuscular blockade as needed. Further, a trial of pulmonary vasodilators is suggested for those who develop refractory hypoxemia. A review of the prior literature on inhaled pulmonary vasodilators in ARDS suggests only a transient improvement in oxygenation, with no mortality benefit. This narrative review aims to highlight the fundamental principles in ARDS management, delineate the fundamental differences between CARDS and ARDS, and describe the comprehensive use of inhaled pulmonary vasodilators. In addition, with the differing pathophysiology of CARDS from the typical ARDS, we sought to evaluate the current evidence regarding the use of inhaled pulmonary vasodilators in CARDS.

Impact of Dexamethasone and Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Severe Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11206130. [PMID: 36294451 PMCID: PMC9604787 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11206130] [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: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the second most frequent condition after acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in critically ill patients with severe COVID-19 and is strongly associated with mortality. The aim of this multicentric study was to assess the impact of the specific treatments of COVID-19 and ARDS on the risk of severe AKI in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Methods: In this cohort study, data from consecutive patients older than 18 years admitted to 6 ICUs for COVID-19-related ARDS requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were included. The incidence and severity of AKI, defined according to the 2012 KDIGO definition, were monitored during the entire ICU stay until day 90. Patients older than 18 years admitted to the ICU for COVID-19-related ARDS requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were included. Results: 164 patients were included in the final analysis; 97 (59.1%) displayed AKI, of which 39 (23.8%) had severe stage 3 AKI, and 21 (12.8%) required renal replacement therapy (RRT). In univariate analysis, severe AKI was associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) exposure (p = 0.016), arterial hypertension (p = 0.029), APACHE-II score (p = 0.004) and mortality at D28 (p = 0.008), D60 (p < 0.001) and D90 (p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, the factors associated with the onset of stage 3 AKI were: exposure to ACEI (OR: 4.238 (1.307−13.736), p = 0.016), APACHE II score (without age) (OR: 1.138 (1.044−1.241), p = 0.003) and iNO (OR: 5.694 (1.953−16.606), p = 0.001). Prone positioning (OR: 0.234 (0.057−0.967), p = 0.045) and dexamethasone (OR: 0.194 (0.053−0.713), p = 0.014) were associated with a decreased risk of severe AKI. Conclusions: Dexamethasone was associated with the prevention of the risk of severe AKI and RRT, and iNO was associated with severe AKI and RRT in critically ill patients with COVID-19. iNO should be used with caution in COVID-19-related ARDS.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the Perioperative Period of Cardiac Surgery: Predictors, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Management Options, and Future Directions.

[PMID: 34030957 PMCID: PMC8141368 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2021.04.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after cardiac surgery is reported with a widely variable incidence (from 0.4%-8.1%). Cardiac surgery patients usually are affected by several comorbidities, and the development of ARDS significantly affects their prognosis. Herein, evidence regarding the current knowledge in the field of ARDS in cardiac surgery is summarized and is followed by a discussion on therapeutic strategies, with consideration of the peculiar aspects of ARDS after cardiac surgery. Prevention of lung injury during and after cardiac surgery remains pivotal. Blood product transfusions should be limited to minimize the risk, among others, of lung injury. Open lung ventilation strategy (ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass, recruitment maneuvers, and the use of moderate positive end-expiratory pressure) has not shown clear benefits on clinical outcomes. Clinicians in the intraoperative and postoperative ventilatory settings carefully should consider the effect of mechanical ventilation on cardiac function (in particular the right ventricle). Driving pressure should be kept as low as possible, with low tidal volumes (on predicted body weight) and optimal positive end-expiratory pressure. Regarding the therapeutic options, management of ARDS after cardiac surgery challenges the common approach. For instance, prone positioning may not be easily applicable after cardiac surgery. In patients who develop ARDS after cardiac surgery, extracorporeal techniques may be a valid choice in experienced hands. The use of neuromuscular blockade and inhaled nitric oxide can be considered on a case-by-case basis, whereas the use of aggressive lung recruitment and oscillatory ventilation should be discouraged.

Abstract
Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) acts as a selective pulmonary vasodilator and it is currently approved by the FDA for the treatment of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. iNO has been demonstrated to effectively decrease pulmonary artery pressure and improve oxygenation, while decreasing extracorporeal life support use in hypoxic newborns affected by persistent pulmonary hypertension. Also, iNO seems a safe treatment with limited side effects. Despite the promising beneficial effects of NO in the preclinical literature, there is still a lack of high quality evidence for the use of iNO in clinical settings. A variety of clinical applications have been suggested in and out of the critical care environment, aiming to use iNO in respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension of adults or as a preventative measure of hemolysis-induced vasoconstriction, ischemia/reperfusion injury and as a potential treatment of renal failure associated with cardiopulmonary bypass. In this narrative review we aim to present a comprehensive summary of the potential use of iNO in several clinical conditions with its suggested benefits, including its recent application in the scenario of the COVID-19 pandemic. Randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, guidelines, observational studies and case-series were reported and the main findings summarized. Furthermore, we will describe the toxicity profile of NO and discuss an innovative proposed strategy to produce iNO. Overall, iNO exhibits a wide range of potential clinical benefits, that certainly warrants further efforts with randomized clinical trials to determine specific therapeutic roles of iNO.

Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic has become the largest public health challenge of recent years. The incidence of COVID-19-related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) occurs in up to 15% of hospitalized patients. Antiviral drugs currently available to clinicians have little to no effect on mortality, length of in-hospital stay, the need for mechanical ventilation, or long-term effects. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) administration is a promising new non-standard approach to directly treat viral burden while enhancing oxygenation. Along with its putative antiviral affect in COVID-19 patients, iNO can reduce inflammatory cell-mediated lung injury by inhibiting neutrophil activation, lowering pulmonary vascular resistance and decreasing edema in the alveolar spaces, collectively enhancing ventilation/perfusion matching. This narrative review article presents recent literature on the iNO therapy use for COVID-19 patients. The authors suggest that early administration of the iNO therapy may be a safe and promising approach for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The authors also discuss unconventional approaches to treatment, continuous versus intermittent high-dose iNO therapy, timing of initiation of therapy (early versus late), and novel delivery systems. Future laboratory and clinical research is required to define the role of iNO as an adjunct therapy against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.

Abstract
Effective treatment of respiratory infections continues to be a major challenge. In high doses (≥160 ppm), inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) has been shown to act as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, including its efficacy in vitro for coronavirus family. However, the safety of prolonged in vivo implementation of high-dose iNO therapy has not been studied. Herein we aim to explore the feasibility and safety of delivering continuous high-dose iNO over an extended period of time using an in vivo animal model. Yorkshire pigs were randomized to one of the following two groups: group 1, standard ventilation; and group 2, standard ventilation + continuous iNO 160 ppm + methylene blue (MB) as intravenous bolus, whenever required, to maintain metHb <6%. Both groups were ventilated continuously for 6 hours, then the animals were weaned from sedation, mechanical ventilation and followed for 3 days. During treatment, and on the third post-operative day, physiologic assessments were performed to monitor lung function and other significative markers were assessed for potential pulmonary or systemic injury. No significant change in lung function, or inflammatory markers were observed during the study period. Both gas exchange function, lung tissue cytokine analysis and histology were similar between treated and control animals. During treatment, levels of metHb were maintained <6% by administration of MB, and NO2 remained <5 ppm. Additionally, considering extrapulmonary effects, no significant changes were observed in biochemistry markers. Our findings showed that high-dose iNO delivered continuously over 6 hours with adjuvant MB is clinically feasible and safe. These findings support the development of investigations of continuous high-dose iNO treatment of respiratory tract infections, including SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Considerable progress has been made over the last decades in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Mechanical ventilation(MV) remains the cornerstone of supportive therapy for ARDS. Lung-protective MV minimizes the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and improves survival. Several parameters contribute to the risk of VILI and require careful setting including tidal volume (VT), plateau pressure (Pplat), driving pressure (ΔP), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and respiratory rate. Measurement of energy and mechanical power allows quantification of the relative contributions of various parameters (VT, Pplat, ΔP, PEEP, respiratory rate, and airflow) for the individualization of MV settings. The use of neuromuscular blocking agents mainly in cases of severe ARDS can improve oxygenation and reduce asynchrony, although they are not known to confer a survival benefit. Rescue respiratory therapies such as prone positioning, inhaled nitric oxide, and extracorporeal support techniques may be adopted in specific situations. Furthermore, respiratory weaning protocols should also be considered. Based on a review of recent clinical trials, we present 10 golden rules for individualized MV in ARDS management.

Abstract
Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is manifested by an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with intense inflammation and endothelial dysfunction leading to particularly severe hypoxemia. We hypothesized that an impaired hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction aggravates hypoxemia. The objective of the study was to test the effect of two pulmonary vasoactive drugs on patient oxygenation. Methods: Observational, single-center, open-label study in one intensive care unit (ICU) of the Paris area, realized in April 2020. Eligible patients had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and moderate to severe ARDS [arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) <200 mmHg] despite conventional protective ventilation. Exclusion criteria included pulmonary artery hypertension defined by a pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PAPs) >45 mmHg. The assessment of oxygenation was based on PaO2/FiO2 at (1) baseline, then after (2) 30 min of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) 10 ppm alone, then (3) 30 min combination of iNO + almitrine infusion 8 μg/kg/min, then (4) 30 min of almitrine infusion alone. Results: Among 20 patients requiring mechanical ventilation during the study period, 12 met the inclusion criteria. Baseline PaO2/FiO2 was 146 ± 48 mmHg. When iNO was combined with almitrine, PaO2/FiO2 rose to 255 ± 90 mmHg (+80 ± 49%, p = 0.005), also after almitrine alone: 238 ± 98 mmHg (+67 ± 75%, p = 0.02), but not after iNO alone: 185 ± 73 mmHg (+30 ± 5%, p = 0.49). No adverse events related to almitrine infusion or iNO was observed. Conclusion: Combining iNO and infused almitrine improved the short-term oxygenation in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS. This combination may be of interest when first-line therapies fail to restore adequate oxygenation. These findings argue for an impaired pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction in these patients.

Abstract
Purpose There are conflicting results as to the effect of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy on the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to assess the updated data. Methods We systematically searched Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and PubMed for relevant randomized control trials between database inception and 9/07/2020. Relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) predicting the risk of AKI were extracted to obtain summary estimates using fixed-effects models. The Trim and Fill method was used to evaluate the sensitivity of the results and adjust for publication bias in meta-analysis. Results 15 randomized controlled studies from 14 articles involving 1853 patients were included in the study. Analyzing the eligible studies we found: (1) iNO therapy significantly increased the risk of AKI in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients (RR 1.55, 95% CI 1.15–2.10, p = 0.004; I2 for heterogeneity 0%; Phet = 0.649). (2) The use of iNO was associated with reduced AKI risk in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.64–0.99, p = 0.037; I2 for heterogeneity 0%; Phet = 0.528). (3) For organ transplantation recipients, there was no effect of iNO administration on the risk of AKI (RR 0.50, 95% CI 0.16–1.56, p = 0.233; I2 for heterogeneity 0%; Phet = 0.842). The Trim and Fill analysis showed that the overall effect of this meta-analysis was stable. Conclusions The effect of iNO on AKI risk might be disease-specific. Future RCTs with larger patient populations should aim to validate our findings.

Abstract
The prevalence of cardiovascular and metabolic disease coupled with kidney dysfunction is increasing worldwide. This triad of disorders is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality as well as a substantial economic burden. Further understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms is important to develop novel preventive or therapeutic approaches. Among the proposed mechanisms, compromised nitric oxide (NO) bioactivity associated with oxidative stress is considered to be important. NO is a short-lived diatomic signalling molecule that exerts numerous effects on the kidneys, heart and vasculature as well as on peripheral metabolically active organs. The enzymatic L-arginine-dependent NO synthase (NOS) pathway is classically viewed as the main source of endogenous NO formation. However, the function of the NOS system is often compromised in various pathologies including kidney, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. An alternative pathway, the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway, enables endogenous or dietary-derived inorganic nitrate and nitrite to be recycled via serial reduction to form bioactive nitrogen species, including NO, independent of the NOS system. Signalling via these nitrogen species is linked with cGMP-dependent and independent mechanisms. Novel approaches to restoring NO homeostasis during NOS deficiency and oxidative stress have potential therapeutic applications in kidney, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.

Abstract
The pulmonary endothelium is a metabolically active continuous monolayer of squamous endothelial cells that internally lines blood vessels and mediates key processes involved in lung homoeostasis. Many of these processes are disrupted in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is marked among others by diffuse endothelial injury, intense activation of the coagulation system and increased capillary permeability. Most commonly occurring in the setting of sepsis, ARDS is a devastating illness, associated with increased morbidity and mortality and no effective pharmacological treatment. Endothelial cell damage has an important role in the pathogenesis of ARDS and several biomarkers of endothelial damage have been tested in determining prognosis. By further understanding the endothelial pathobiology, development of endothelial-specific therapeutics might arise. In this review, we will discuss the underlying pathology of endothelial dysfunction leading to ARDS and emerging therapies. Furthermore, we will present a brief overview demonstrating that endotheliopathy is an important feature of hospitalised patients with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is still no definite drug for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that is capable of reducing either short-term or long-term mortality. Therefore, great efforts are being made to identify a pharmacological approach that can be really effective. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on current challenges and future directions in the pharmacological management of ARDS, regardless of anti-infective treatments. The authors have excluded small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with less than 60 patients because those studies do not have statistical power for outcome data, and also anecdotal trials but have considered the last meta-analysis on any drug. EXPERT OPINION There has been substantial progress in our knowledge of ARDS over the past two decades and many drugs have been used in its treatment. Nevertheless, effective targeted pharmacological treatments for ARDS are still lacking. The likely reason why a pharmacological approach is beneficial for some patients, but harmful for others is that ARDS is an extremely heterogeneous syndrome. To overcome this issue, a precision approach for ARDS, whereby therapies are specifically targeted to patients most likely to benefit, has been proposed. At present, however, the application of this approach seems to be a difficult task.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nitric oxide (NO) supplementation to the CPB circuit on the development of cardiac surgery-associated AKI. METHODS This prospective randomized controlled study included 96 patients with moderate risk of renal complications who underwent elective cardiac surgery with CPB. The study protocol was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier NCT03527381). Patients were randomly allocated to either NO supplementation to the CPB bypass circuit (NO treatment group; n = 48) or usual care (control group; n = 48). In the NO treatment group, 40-ppm NO was administered during the entire CPB period. The primary outcome was the incidence of AKI. RESULTS NO treatment was associated with a significant decrease in AKI incidence (10 cases [20.8%] vs 20 cases [41.6%] in the control group; relative risk, 0.5; 95% confidence interval, 0.26-0.95; P = .023) and a higher median urine output during CPB (2.6 mL/kg/h [interquartile range (IQR), 2.1-5.08 mL/kg/h] vs 1.7 mL/kg/h [IQR, 0.80-2.50 mL/kg/h]; P = .0002). The median urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level at 4 hours after surgery was significantly lower in the NO treatment group (1.12 ng/mL [IQR, 0.75-5.8 ng/mL] vs 4.62 ng/mL [IQR, 2.02-34.55 ng/mL]; P = .005). In the NO treatment group, concentrations of NO metabolites were significantly increased at 5 minutes postclamping, at 5 minutes after declamping, and at the end of the operation. Concentrations of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators and free plasma hemoglobin did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS NO administration in patients at moderate risk of renal complications undergoing elective cardiac surgery with CPB was associated with a lower incidence of AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multi-organ dysfunction in critical illness is common and frequently involves the lungs and kidneys, often requiring organ support such as invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), renal replacement therapy (RRT) and/or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). METHODS A consensus conference on the spectrum of lung-kidney interactions in critical illness was held under the auspices of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) in Innsbruck, Austria, in June 2018. Through review and critical appraisal of the available evidence, the current state of research, and both clinical and research recommendations were described on the following topics: epidemiology, pathophysiology and strategies to mitigate pulmonary dysfunction among patients with acute kidney injury and/or kidney dysfunction among patients with acute respiratory failure/acute respiratory distress syndrome. Furthermore, emphasis was put on patients receiving organ support (RRT, IMV and/or ECMO) and its impact on lung and kidney function. CONCLUSION The ADQI 21 conference found significant knowledge gaps about organ crosstalk between lung and kidney and its relevance for critically ill patients. Lung protective ventilation, conservative fluid management and early recognition and treatment of pulmonary infections were the only clinical recommendations with higher quality of evidence. Recommendations for research were formulated, targeting lung-kidney interactions to improve care processes and outcomes in critical illness.

Abstract
Introduction: Pharmacotherapy for the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been tested in preclinical and clinical studies. However, to date, no pharmacological interventions have proven effective. This may be attributed to lack of proper identification of different ARDS phenotypes.Areas covered: We designed inclusive search strings and searched four bibliographic databases (Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PubMed, Web of Science, and clinicaltrials.gov) to identify relevant research. Search results were mainly restricted to papers published from 2009 through 2019. ARDS is a heterogeneous syndrome, and its different phenotypes - defined according to clinical, radiological, and biological parameters - may affect response to therapy. The most promising pharmacological approaches to date have been based on ARDS pathophysiology. They focus on reducing inflammation and pulmonary edema, promoting selective vasodilation, and repairing alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells.Expert opinion: Pharmacotherapeutic approaches targeting ARDS pathophysiology have failed to exert beneficial effects. Personalized medicine targeting the different ARDS phenotypes has emerged as an option to improve survival. Identification of specific ARDS patient phenotypes that respond to specific therapies seems to be the most important challenge for the next decade. Additional research is warranted before personalized medicine approaches can be applied at bedside for ARDS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of nitric oxide (NO) on renal function is controversial in critical illness. We performed a systematic meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis to determine the effect of NO gas on renal function and other clinical outcomes in patients requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The primary outcome was the relative risk (RR) of acute kidney injury (AKI), irrespective of the AKI stage. The secondary outcome was the mean difference (MD) in the length of ICU and hospital stay, the RR of postoperative hemorrhage, and the MD in levels of methemoglobin. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was performed for the primary outcome. RESULTS 54 trials were assessed for eligibility and 5 studies (579 patients) were eligible for meta-analysis. NO was associated with reduced risk of AKI (RR 0.76, 95% confidential interval [CI], 0.62 to 0.93, I2 = 0%). In the subgroup analysis by NO initiation timing, NO did not decrease the risk of AKI when started at the end of CPB (RR 1.20, 95% CI 0.52-2.78, I2 = 0%). However, NO did significantly reduce the risk of AKI when started from the beginning of CPB (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.54-0.94, I2 = 10%). We conducted TSA based on three trials (400 patients) using KDIGO criteria and with low risk of bias. TSA indicated a CI of 0.50-1.02 and an optimal information size of 589 patients, suggesting a lack of definitive conclusion. Furthermore, NO does not affect the length of ICU and hospital stay or the risk of postoperative hemorrhage. NO slightly increased the level of methemoglobin at the end of CPB (MD 0.52%, 95% CI 0.27-0.78%, I2 = 90%), but it was clinically negligible. CONCLUSIONS NO appeared to reduce the risk of postoperative AKI in patients undergoing CPB. Additional studies are required to ascertain the finding and further determine the dosage, timing and duration of NO administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation is life-saving for patients with acute respiratory insufficiency. In a German prevalence study, 13.6% of patients in intensive care units received mechanical ventilation for more than 12 hours; 20% of these patients received mechanical ventilation as treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The new S3 guideline is the first to contain recommendations for the entire process of treatment in these groups of patients (indications, ventilation modes/parameters, ac- companying measures, treatments for refractory impairment of gas exchange, weaning, and follow-up care). METHODS This guideline was developed according to the GRADE methods. Pertinent publications were identified by a systematic search of the literature, the quality of the evidence was evaluated, a risk/benefit assessment was conducted, and recommendations were issued by interdisciplinary consensus. RESULTS Mechanical ventilation is recommended as primary treatment for patients with severe ARDS. In other patient groups, non-in- vasive ventilation can lower mortality. If mechanical ventilation is needed, ventilation modes allowing spontaneous breathing seem beneficial (quality of evidence [QoE]: very low). Protective ventilation (high positive end-expiratory pressure, low tidal volume, limited peak pressure) improve the survival of ARDS patients (QoE: high). If a severe impairment of gas exchange is present, prone posi- tioning lessens mortality (QoE: high). Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) has not unequivocally been shown to improve survival. Early mobilization and weaning protocols can shorten the duration of ventilation (QoE: moderate). CONCLUSION Recommendations for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation include lung-protective ventilation, early sponta- neous breathing and mobilization, weaning protocols, and, for those with severe impairment of gas exchange, prone positioning. It is further recommended that patients with ARDS and refractory impairment of gas exchange should be transferred to an ARDS/ECMO center, where extracorporeal methods should be applied only after application of all other therapeutic options.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in cardiac surgery. Levels of intravascular haemolysis are strongly associated with postoperative AKI and with prolonged (>90 min) use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Ferrous plasma haemoglobin released into the circulation acts as a scavenger of nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial cells. Consequently, the vascular bioavailability of NO is reduced, leading to vasoconstriction and impaired renal function. In patients with cardiovascular risk factors, the endothelium is dysfunctional and cannot replenish the NO deficit. A previous clinical study in young cardiac surgical patients with rheumatic fever, without evidence of endothelial dysfunction, showed that supplementation of NO gas decreases AKI by converting ferrous plasma haemoglobin to ferric methaemoglobin, thus preserving vascular NO. In this current trial, we hypothesised that 24 hours administration of NO gas will reduce AKI following CPB in patients with endothelial dysfunction. METHODS This is a single-centre, randomised (1:1) controlled, parallel-arm superiority trial that includes patients with endothelial dysfunction, stable kidney function and who are undergoing cardiac surgery procedures with an expected CPB duration >90 min. After randomisation, 80 parts per million (ppm) NO (intervention group) or 80 ppm nitrogen (N2, control group) are added to the gas mixture. Test gases (N2 or NO) are delivered during CPB and for 24 hours after surgery. The primary study outcome is the occurrence of AKI among study groups. Key secondary outcomes include AKI severity, occurrence of renal replacement therapy, major adverse kidney events at 6 weeks after surgery and mortality. We are recruiting 250 patients, allowing detection of a 35% AKI relative risk reduction, assuming a two-sided error of 0.05. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Partners Human Research Committee approved this trial. Recruitment began in February 2017. Dissemination plans include presentations at scientific conferences, scientific publications and advertising flyers and posters at Massachusetts General Hospital. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02836899.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most frequent extra-pulmonary organ failure in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The objective of this study was to assess the factors associated with the development and severity of AKI in patients with ARDS.
Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of ARDS patients without acute or chronic kidney disease prior to the onset of ARDS over a 7-year period (2010–2017). AKI and severity of AKI were defined according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes 2012 guidelines. Results Of the 634 ARDS patients, 357 patients met study criteria. A total of 244 (68.3%) patients developed AKI after ARDS onset: 60 (24.6%) had stage I AKI, 66 (27%) had stage II AKI, and 118 (48.4%) had stage III AKI. The median time of AKI onset for stage I AKI was 2 days (interquartile range, 1.5–5.5) while stage II and III AKI was 4 days. On multivariable analysis, factors associated with development of AKI were age [subdistribution hazard ratio (SHR) 1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.00–1.02], SOFA score (SHR 1.16, 95%CI 1.12–1.21), a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) (SHR 1.42, 95%CI 1.07–1.89), and arterial pH on day 1 of ARDS (SHR per 0.1 units decrease was 1.18, 95%CI 1.05–1.32). In severity of AKI, stage I AKI was associated with age (SHR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01–1.05) and serum bicarbonate on day 1 of ARDS (SHR 1.07, 95%CI 1.02–1.13). Stage II AKI was associated with age (SHR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01–1.05), serum bicarbonate on day 1 (SHR 1.12, 95%CI 1.06–1.18), SOFA score (SHR 1.19, 95%CI 1.10–1.30), history of heart failure (SHR 3.71, 95%CI 1.63–8.46), and peak airway pressure (SHR 1.04, 95%CI 1.00–1.07). Stage III AKI was associated with a higher BMI (SHR 1.02, 95%CI 1.00–1.03), a history of DM (SHR 1.79, 95%CI 1.18–2.72), SOFA score (SHR 1.29, 95%CI 1.22–1.36), and arterial pH on day 1 (SHR per 0.1 units decrease was 1.25, 95%CI 1.05–1.49). Conclusions Age, a higher severity of illness, a history of diabetes, and acidosis were associated with development of AKI in ARDS patients. Severity of AKI was further associated with BMI, history of heart failure, and peak airway pressure.

Abstract
Currently, an increasing number of patients with end-stage heart failure are being treated with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy as bridge-to-transplantation, bridge-to-candidacy, or destination therapy (DT). Potential life-threatening complications may occur, specifically in the early post-operative phase, which positions LVAD implantation as a high-risk surgical procedure. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequently observed complication after LVAD implantation and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The rapidly growing number of LVAD implantations necessitates better approaches of identifying high-risk patients, optimizing peri-operative management, and preventing severe complications such as AKI. This holds especially true for those patients receiving an LVAD as DT, who are typically older (with higher burden of comorbidities) with impaired renal function and at increased post-operative risk. Herein we outline the definition, diagnosis, frequency, pathophysiology, and risk factors for AKI in patients with an LVAD. We also review possible strategies to prevent and manage AKI in this patient population.

Abstract
Fifteen recommendations and a therapeutic algorithm regarding the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) at the early phase in adults are proposed. The Grade of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology has been followed. Four recommendations (low tidal volume, plateau pressure limitation, no oscillatory ventilation, and prone position) had a high level of proof (GRADE 1 + or 1 -); four (high positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP] in moderate and severe ARDS, muscle relaxants, recruitment maneuvers, and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO]) a low level of proof (GRADE 2 + or 2 -); seven (surveillance, tidal volume for non ARDS mechanically ventilated patients, tidal volume limitation in the presence of low plateau pressure, PEEP > 5 cmH2O, high PEEP in the absence of deleterious effect, pressure mode allowing spontaneous ventilation after the acute phase, and nitric oxide) corresponded to a level of proof that did not allow use of the GRADE classification and were expert opinions. Lastly, for three aspects of ARDS management (driving pressure, early spontaneous ventilation, and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal), the experts concluded that no sound recommendation was possible given current knowledge. The recommendations and the therapeutic algorithm were approved by the experts with strong agreement.

Abstract
The Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine and Intensive Care Society Guideline Development Group have used GRADE methodology to make the following recommendations for the management of adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The British Thoracic Society supports the recommendations in this guideline. Where mechanical ventilation is required, the use of low tidal volumes (<6 ml/kg ideal body weight) and airway pressures (plateau pressure <30 cmH2O) was recommended. For patients with moderate/severe ARDS (PF ratio<20 kPa), prone positioning was recommended for at least 12 hours per day. By contrast, high frequency oscillation was not recommended and it was suggested that inhaled nitric oxide is not used. The use of a conservative fluid management strategy was suggested for all patients, whereas mechanical ventilation with high positive end-expiratory pressure and the use of the neuromuscular blocking agent cisatracurium for 48 hours was suggested for patients with ARDS with ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (PF) ratios less than or equal to 27 and 20 kPa, respectively. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was suggested as an adjunct to protective mechanical ventilation for patients with very severe ARDS. In the absence of adequate evidence, research recommendations were made for the use of corticosteroids and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Airways of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients are Nitric Oxide (NO) deficient which may contribute to impaired lung function and infection clearance. Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) infection prevalence is increasing in CF patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Here, we assess the safety and efficacy of intermittent inhaled NO (iNO) as adjuvant therapy in CF patients with refractory M. abscessus lung infection. METHODS A prospective, open-label pilot study of iNO (160 ppm) administered five times/day during hospitalization (14 days), and three times/day during ambulatory treatment (7 days) was conducted. The primary outcome was safety measured by NO-related adverse events (AEs). Secondary outcomes were six-minute walk distance (6MWD), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and M. abscessus burden in airways. RESULTS Nine subjects were recruited. INO at 160 ppm was well-tolerated and no iNO-related SAEs were observed during the study. Mean FEV1 and 6WMD were increased relative to baseline during NO treatment. M. abscessus culture conversion was not achieved, but 3/9 patients experienced at least one negative culture during the study. Mean time to positivity in M. abscessus culture, and qPCR analysis showed reductions in sputum bacterial load. The study was not powered to achieve statistical significance in FEV1, 6WMD, and bacterial load. CONCLUSIONS Intermittent iNO at 160 ppm is well tolerated and safe and led to increases in mean 6MWD and FEV1. INO exhibited potential antibacterial activity against M. abscessus. Further evaluation of secondary endpoints in a larger cohort of CF patients is warranted to demonstrate statistical significance.

The Mechanism of Acupuncture in Treating Essential Hypertension: A Narrative Review. Int J Hypertens 2019; 2019:8676490.

Abstract
Essential hypertension has a high incidence worldwide, and patients with essential hypertension endure a lifetime of medication, leading to a heavy economic burden on the patient's family and causing serious impacts on the patient's quality of life. Much evidence has demonstrated that acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy can lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension, but the mechanism of its action is unclear. This article reviews the research from 2000 to 2018 regarding the mechanism of acupuncture for hypertension, and we summarize the current knowledge about using acupuncture for hypertension. We found that the mechanism whereby acupuncture lowers blood pressure is related to the regulation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, vascular endothelium, oxidative stress, neuroendocrine system, and so on. Besides, there may be cross-talk between multiple systems and multiple targets. We also investigate the influence factors of acupuncture for hypertension. These results may provide evidence and research ideas for the treatment of hypertension via acupuncture.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a common complication associated with significant negative outcomes in critically ill patients. Lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies remain the cornerstone in the management of ARDS. Several therapeutic options are currently available including fluid management, neuromuscular blocking agents, prone positioning, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, corticosteroids, and inhaled pulmonary vasodilating agents (prostacyclins and nitric oxide). Unfortunately, an evidence-based, standard-of-care approach in managing ARDS beyond lung-protective ventilation remains elusive, contributing to significant variability in clinical practice. Although the optimal therapeutic strategy for managing moderate to severe ARDS remains extremely controversial, therapies supported with more robust clinical evidence should be considered first. The purpose of this narrative review is to discuss the published clinical evidence for both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management strategies in adult patients with moderate to severe ARDS as well as to discuss practical considerations for implementation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy on oxygenation and clinical outcomes in patients with refractory hypoxemia after surgical reconstruction for acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD). METHODS A before-and-after interventional study was conducted in patients with refractory hypoxemia after surgical reconstruction for TAAD. Postoperative refractory hypoxemia was defined as a persistent PaO2/FiO2 ratio ≤100 mmHg despite conventional therapy. From January to November 2016, conventional treatment was carried out for refractory hypoxemia. From December 2016 to October 2017, on the basis of conventional therapy, we explored the use of iNO to treat refractory hypoxemia. RESULTS Fifty-three TAAD patients with refractory hypoxemia were enrolled in this study. Twenty-seven patients received conventional treatment (conventional group), while the remaining 26 patients received iNO therapy. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio was significantly higher in the iNO group after treatment than in the conventional group when analyzed over the entire 72 hours. The duration of invasive mechanical ventilation was significantly reduced in the iNO group (69.19 vs. 104.56 hours; P=0.003). Other outcomes, such as mortality (3.85% vs. 7.41%, P=1.000), intensive care unit (ICU) duration (9.88 vs. 12.36 days, P=0.059) and hospital stay (16.88 vs. 20.76 days, P=0.060), were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS iNO therapy might play an ameliorative role in patients with refractory hypoxemia after surgical reconstruction for TAAD. This therapy may lead to sustained improvement in oxygenation and reduce the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
The central venous pressure (CVP) is traditionally used as a surrogate of intravascular volume. CVP measurements therefore are often applied at the bedside to guide fluid administration in postoperative and critically ill patients. Pursuing high CVP levels has recently been challenged. A high CVP might impede venous return to the heart and disturb microcirculatory blood flow which may cause tissue congestion and organ failure. By imposing an increased "afterload" on the kidney, an elevated CVP will particularly harm kidney hemodynamics and promote acute kidney injury (AKI) even in the absence of volume overload. Maintaining the lowest possible CVP should become routine to prevent and treat AKI, especially when associated with septic shock, cardiac surgery, mechanical ventilation, and intra-abdominal hypertension.

Abstract
Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy is commonly used in lung transplantation (LT) recipients during the perioperative periods. However, previous studies report that the use of iNO may increase the risk of renal dysfunction. Post-LT acute kidney injury (AKI) can lead to critical situations, including prolonged intensive care unit or hospital stays and increased morbidity and mortality. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between iNO therapy and incidence of post-LT AKI in LT recipients.The medical data of 36 patients who underwent LT surgery from January 2012 to July 2017 in a single university hospital setting were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: iNO (n = 14) and control (n = 19). The demographic data, anesthetic methods, complications, and perioperative laboratory test values of each patient were assessed. Patients were categorized according to changes in plasma creatinine (Cr) concentration levels within 48 hours after LT using Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria.There was no significant difference in the occurrence (P = .13) and severity (P = .9) of post-LT AKI between iNO and control groups. The mean serum Cr levels after surgery were 0.91 ± 0.44 and 0.81 ± 0.37 mg/dL in the iNO and control groups, respectively (P = .50).AKI plays a critical role in the prognosis of LT recipients. Our results revealed that iNO therapy was not associated with the incidence of post-LT AKI. Therefore, if iNO treatment is indicated, active use under close monitoring of renal function is recommended in LT-patients concerned about AKI after surgery.

Abstract
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) restores gas exchanges in severely hypoxemic patients. The need for adjunctive therapies usually originates either from refractory hypoxemia during ECMO (defined as the persistence of low blood oxygen levels despite extracorporeal support) or from the attempt to give a specific therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In this review, therapeutic strategies to treat refractory and persistent hypoxemia during ECMO are evaluated. In the second part, therapies that can be added on top of VV ECMO to address inflammation and altered vascular permeability in ARDS are examined. The therapies currently available often allow for an effective treatment of hypoxemia during ECMO. ARDS is still lacking a specific therapy, with low-grade evidence sustaining the majority of currently used drugs.

Abstract
Renal Ischemia (RI) usually develops as a secondary manifestation of hypertension, various cardiovascular disorders and renal transplantation. It exerts hypoxic oxidative stress to kidneys, together with stimulation of several immune-mediated inflammatory cascades. Such events eventually damage renal tubules and glomeruli, driving acute kidney injury (AKI) and ultimately, renal failure. Crocin; the main bioactive constituent of Crocus sativus extract has been reported to demonstrate numerous pharmacological merits. In the current study, unilateral renal ischemia reperfusion injury (URIRI) was induced in rats by unilateral clamping of the left renal pedicle for 45 min followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Daily pre-treatment with crocin (20 mg/kg, orally) for 7 days, significantly improved all signs of renal injury. Biochemically, kidney functions; including serum creatinine (Sr Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), proteinuria and creatinine clearance (Cr Cl) significantly improved. Inflammatory biomarkers; serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and kidney nitric oxide (Nos) contents significantly declined. Oxidant/antioxidant balance was significantly restored; manifested in recovery of renal superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, glutathione (GSH) concentration, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and restoration of serum catalase activity. Kidney contents of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL6) and toll-like receptors 4 (TLR4) significantly declined as well. Histopathologically, crocin pretreatment resulted in signs of improvement with minimal renal lesions with significant decrease in renal inflammatory cells count. In conclusion, crocin induced restoration of normal kidney functions is mediated through multiple mechanisms including mainly attenuation of oxidative stress and inflammation via down-regulation of renal TLR4 and IL6 expression.

Abstract
Severe ARDS can be complicated by right ventricular (RV) failure. The etiology of RV failure in ARDS is multifactorial. Vascular alterations, hypoxia, hypercapnia and effects of mechanical ventilation may play a role. Echocardiography has an important role in diagnosing RV failure in ARDS patients. Once extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is indicated in these patients, the right ECMO modus needs to be chosen. In this review, the etiology, diagnosis and management of RV failure in ARDS will be briefly outlined. The beneficial effect of veno-venous (VV) ECMO on RV function in these patients will be illustrated. Based on this, we will give recommendations regarding choice of ECMO modus and provide an algorithm for management of RV failure in VV ECMO supported patients.

Abstract
Background Chitinase-3-like 1 (CHI3L1) is a glycoprotein elevated in paediatric severe malaria, and an emerging urinary biomarker of acute kidney injury (AKI). Based on the hypothesis that elevated CHI3L1 levels in malaria are associated with disease severity, the relationship between plasma CHI3L1 levels, AKI and mortality was investigated in Ugandan children enrolled in a clinical trial evaluating inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) as an adjunctive therapy for severe malaria. Methods Plasma CHI3L1 levels were measured daily for 4 days in children admitted to hospital with severe malaria and at day 14 follow up. AKI was defined using the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes consensus criteria. This is a secondary analysis of a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of iNO versus placebo as an adjunctive therapy for severe malaria. Inclusion criteria were: age 1–10 years, and selected criteria for severe malaria. Exclusion criteria included suspected bacterial meningitis, known chronic illness including renal disease, haemoglobinopathy, or severe malnutrition. iNO was administered by non-rebreather mask for up to 72 h at 80 ppm. Results CHI3L1 was elevated in patients with AKI and remained higher over hospitalization (p < 0.0001). Admission CHI3L1 levels were elevated in children who died. By multivariable analysis logCHI3L1 levels were associated with increased risk of in-hospital death (relative risk, 95% CI 4.10, 1.32–12.75, p = 0.015) and all-cause 6 month mortality (3.21, 1.47–6.98, p = 0.003) following correction for iNO and AKI. Treatment with iNO was associated with delayed CHI3L1 recovery with a daily decline of 34% in the placebo group versus 29% in the iNO group (p = 0.012). CHI3L1 levels correlated with markers of inflammation (CRP, sTREM-1, CXCL10), endothelial activation (Ang-2, sICAM-1) and intravascular haemolysis (LDH, haem, haemopexin). Conclusions CHI3L1 is a novel biomarker of malaria-associated AKI and an independent risk factor for mortality that is associated with well-established pathways of severe malaria pathogenesis including inflammation, endothelial activation, and haemolysis.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is the most used short-term life support technique worldwide and is applied daily for a diverse spectrum of indications, from scheduled surgical procedures to acute organ failure. This state-of-the-art review provides an update on the basic physiology of respiratory mechanics, the working principles, and the main ventilatory settings, as well as the potential complications of mechanical ventilation. Specific ventilatory approaches in particular situations such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are detailed along with protective ventilation in patients with normal lungs. We also highlight recent data on patient-ventilator dyssynchrony, humidified high-flow oxygen through nasal cannula, extracorporeal life support, and the weaning phase. Finally, we discuss the future of mechanical ventilation, addressing avenues for improvement.

Abstract
Objective Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is commonly used as a treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Its action is purported to be specific to the lung, but extrapulmonary effects have been reported. The objective of this study was to evaluate if iNO could compensate the renal impairment induced by ketoprofen, a conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), during general anaesthesia. Methods Under pseudo-normovolaemic condition, thirty piglets were randomly assigned into 5 equal groups and equipped for renal and systemic parameters measurements. A first experiment was carried out to validate methods and reproduce the renal effects of iNO (40 ppm) in comparison with a placebo (100% oxygen). In a second experiment, iNO was inhaled for 120 minutes right after NSAID treatment (ketoprofen 2 mg×kg-1 IV, and 40 ppm iNO; group KiNO) and its effects were compared to ketoprofen alone (2 mg×kg-1 IV; group K) and placebo (saline; group C). Results In this model, iNO increased significantly renal blood flow measured by ultrasonic (RBFUL: +53.2±17.2%; p = 0.008) and by PAH clearance (RBFPAH:+78.6±37.6%; p = 0.004) methods, glomerular filtration rate (GFR: +72.6±32.5%; p = 0.006) and urinary output (UO: +47.4±24.2%; p = 0.01). In the second experiment, no significant temporal variation was noted for renal parameters in groups KiNO and C, whereas a significant and constant decrease was observed in the group K for RBFUL (max -19.0±7.1%), GFR (max -26.6±10.4%) and UO (max -30.3±10.5%). Clinical significance Our experiments show that iNO, released from its transport forms after its inhalation, can improve renal safety of NSAIDs. This result is promising regarding the use of NSAIDs in critical conditions, but needs to receive clinical confirmation.

Abstract
Background Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a rescue therapy for severe hypoxemia in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Pooled data from clinical trials have signaled a renal safety warning for iNO therapy, but the significance of these findings in daily clinical practice is unclear. We used primary data to evaluate the risk of iNO-associated renal dysfunction in patients with ARDS. Methods We conducted a cohort study using data from a tertiary teaching hospital to evaluate the risk of incident renal replacement therapy (RRT) in iNO users compared with that of non-users. Propensity score matching and competing-risks regression were used for data analysis. Residual confounding was assessed by means of a rule-out approach. We also evaluated effect modification by pre-specified factors using stratified analysis. Results We identified 547 patients with ARDS, including 216 iNO users and 331 non-users. At study entry, 313 (57.2%) patients had moderate ARDS and 234 (42.8%) had severe ARDS. The mean patient age was 63 ± 17 years. The crude hazard ratio of the need for RRT in iNO users compared with non-users was 2.23 (95% CI, 1.61–3.09, p < 0.001). After propensity score matching, there were 151 iNO users matched to 151 non-users. The adjusted hazard ratio was 1.59 (95% CI, 1.08–2.34, p = 0.02). In the stratified analysis, we found that older aged patients (≥65 years) were more susceptible to iNO-associated kidney injury than younger patients (p = 0.05). Conclusions This study showed that iNO substantially increased the risk of renal dysfunction in patients with ARDS. Older aged patients were especially susceptible to this adverse event.
