Abstract
The use of transpulmonary pressure monitoring based on measurement of esophageal pressure has contributed importantly to the personalization of mechanical ventilation based on respiratory pathophysiology in critically ill patients. However, esophageal pressure monitoring is still underused in the clinical practice. This technique allows partitioning of the respiratory mechanics between the lungs and the chest wall, provides information on lung recruitment and risk of barotrauma, and helps titrating mechanical ventilation settings in patients with respiratory failure. In assisted ventilation modes and during non-invasive respiratory support, esophageal pressure monitoring provides important information on the inspiratory effort and work of breathing. Nonetheless, several controversies persist on technical aspects, interpretation and clinical decision-making based on values derived from this monitoring technique. The aim of this review is to summarize the physiological bases of esophageal pressure monitoring, discussing the pros and cons of its clinical applications and different interpretations in critically ill patients undergoing invasive and non-invasive respiratory support.

Abstract
Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease characterized by rapid onset and high mortality. Emergency surgery is the preferred and reliable treatment option. However, postoperative complications significantly impact patient prognosis. Hypoxemia, a common complication, poses challenges in clinical treatment, negatively affecting patient outcomes and increasing the risk of mortality. Therefore, it is crucial to study and comprehend the risk factors and treatment strategies for hypoxemia following acute type A aortic dissection to facilitate early intervention.

Effects of prone positioning on lung mechanical power components in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a physiologic study. Crit Care 2024; 28:82. [PMID: 38491457 PMCID: PMC10941550 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04867-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prone positioning (PP) homogenizes ventilation distribution and may limit ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The static and dynamic components of ventilation that may cause VILI have been aggregated in mechanical power, considered a unifying driver of VILI. PP may affect mechanical power components differently due to changes in respiratory mechanics; however, the effects of PP on lung mechanical power components are unclear. This study aimed to compare the following parameters during supine positioning (SP) and PP: lung total elastic power and its components (elastic static power and elastic dynamic power) and these variables normalized to end-expiratory lung volume (EELV). METHODS This prospective physiologic study included 55 patients with moderate to severe ARDS. Lung total elastic power and its static and dynamic components were compared during SP and PP using an esophageal pressure-guided ventilation strategy. In SP, the esophageal pressure-guided ventilation strategy was further compared with an oxygenation-guided ventilation strategy defined as baseline SP. The primary endpoint was the effect of PP on lung total elastic power non-normalized and normalized to EELV. Secondary endpoints were the effects of PP and ventilation strategies on lung elastic static and dynamic power components non-normalized and normalized to EELV, respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, and hemodynamic parameters. RESULTS Lung total elastic power (median [interquartile range]) was lower during PP compared with SP (6.7 [4.9-10.6] versus 11.0 [6.6-14.8] J/min; P < 0.001) non-normalized and normalized to EELV (3.2 [2.1-5.0] versus 5.3 [3.3-7.5] J/min/L; P < 0.001). Comparing PP with SP, transpulmonary pressures and EELV did not significantly differ despite lower positive end-expiratory pressure and plateau airway pressure, thereby reducing non-normalized and normalized lung elastic static power in PP. PP improved gas exchange, cardiac output, and increased oxygen delivery compared with SP. CONCLUSIONS In patients with moderate to severe ARDS, PP reduced lung total elastic and elastic static power compared with SP regardless of EELV normalization because comparable transpulmonary pressures and EELV were achieved at lower airway pressures. This resulted in improved gas exchange, hemodynamics, and oxygen delivery. TRIAL REGISTRATION German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00017449).

Differences of respiratory mechanics in mechanical ventilation of acute respiratory distress syndrome between patients with COVID-19 and Influenza A. Respir Res 2024; 25:112. [PMID: 38448933 PMCID: PMC10919012 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-024-02730-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) should be approached differently in terms of mechanical ventilation therapy compared to other virus-induced ARDS is debatable. Therefore, we aimed to ascertain whether the respiratory mechanical characteristics of COVID-19-induced ARDS differ from those of influenza A induced ARDS, in order to establish a rationale for mechanical ventilation therapy in COVID-19-induced ARDS. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study comparing patients with COVID-19-induced ARDS and influenza A induced ARDS. We included intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19 or Influenza A aged ≥ 19, who were diagnosed with ARDS according to the Berlin definition between January 2015 and July 2021. Ventilation parameters for respiratory mechanics were collected at specific times on days one, three, and seven after intubation. RESULTS The median age of the 87 participants was 71.0 (62.0-78.0) years old, and 63.2% were male. The ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood to the fractional of inspiratory oxygen concentration in COVID-19-induced ARDS was lower than that in influenza A induced ARDS during the initial stages of mechanical ventilation (influenza A induced ARDS 216.1 vs. COVID-19-induced ARDS 167.9, p = 0.009, day 1). The positive end expiratory pressure remained consistently higher in the COVID-19 group throughout the follow-up period (7.0 vs. 10.0, p < 0.001, day 1). COVID-19 and influenza A initially showed different directions for peak inspiratory pressure and dynamic compliance; however, after day 3, both groups exhibited similar directions. Dynamic driving pressure exhibited opposite trends between the two groups during mechanical ventilation. CONCLUSIONS Respiratory mechanics show clear differences between COVID-19-induced ARDS and influenza A induced ARDS. Based on these findings, we can consider future treatment strategies for COVID-19-induced ARDS.

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

Improved oxygenation in prone positioning of mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome is associated with decreased pulmonary shunt fraction: a prospective multicenter study. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:597. [PMID: 38102699 PMCID: PMC10725003 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01559-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prone position is used in acute respiratory distress syndrome and in coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, physiological mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether improved oxygenation was related to pulmonary shunt fraction (Q's/Q't), alveolar dead space (Vd/Vtalv) and ventilation/perfusion mismatch (V'A/Q'). METHODS This was an international, prospective, observational, multicenter, cohort study, including six intensive care units in Sweden and Poland and 71 mechanically ventilated adult patients. RESULTS Prone position increased PaO2:FiO2 after 30 min, by 78% (83-148 mm Hg). The effect persisted 120 min after return to supine (p < 0.001). The oxygenation index decreased 30 min after prone positioning by 43% (21-12 units). Q's/Q't decreased already after 30 min in the prone position by 17% (0.41-0.34). The effect persisted 120 min after return to supine (p < 0.005). Q's/Q't and PaO2:FiO2 were correlated both in prone (Beta -137) (p < 0.001) and in the supine position (Beta -270) (p < 0.001). V'A/Q' was unaffected and did not correlate to PaO2:FiO2 (p = 0.8). Vd/Vtalv increased at 120 min by 11% (0.55-0.61) (p < 0.05) and did not correlate to PaO2:FiO2 (p = 0.3). The ventilatory ratio increased after 30 min in the prone position by 58% (1.9-3.0) (p < 0.001). PaO2:FiO2 at baseline predicted PaO2:FiO2 at 30 min after proning (Beta 1.3) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Improved oxygenation by prone positioning in COVID-19 ARDS patients was primarily associated with a decrease in pulmonary shunt fraction. Dead space remained high and the global V'A/Q' measure could not explain the differences in gas exchange.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum during surgery promotes dorsobasal atelectasis formation, which impairs respiratory mechanics and increases lung stress and strain. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can reduce pulmonary inhomogeneities and preserve end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), resulting in decreased inspiratory strain and improved gas-exchange. The optimal intraoperative PEEP strategy is unclear. OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of individualised PEEP titration strategies on set PEEP levels and resulting transpulmonary pressures, respiratory mechanics, gas-exchange and haemodynamics during Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum. DESIGN Prospective, randomised, crossover single-centre physiologic trial. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Thirty-six patients receiving robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. INTERVENTIONS Randomised sequence of three different PEEP strategies: standard PEEP level of 5 cmH 2 O (PEEP 5 ), PEEP titration targeting a minimal driving pressure (PEEP ΔP ) and oesophageal pressure-guided PEEP titration (PEEP Poeso ) targeting an end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure ( PTP ) of 0 cmH 2 O. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary endpoint was the PEEP level when set according to PEEP ΔP and PEEP Poeso compared with PEEP of 5 cmH 2 O. Secondary endpoints were respiratory mechanics, lung volumes, gas-exchange and haemodynamic parameters. RESULTS PEEP levels differed between PEEP ΔP , PEEP Poeso and PEEP5 (18.0 [16.0 to 18.0] vs. 20.0 [18.0 to 24.0]vs. 5.0 [5.0 to 5.0] cmH 2 O; P < 0.001 each). End-expiratory PTP and lung volume were lower in PEEP ΔP compared with PEEP Poeso ( P = 0.014 and P < 0.001, respectively), but driving pressure, lung stress, as well as respiratory system and dynamic elastic power were minimised using PEEP ΔP ( P < 0.001 each). PEEP ΔP and PEEP Poeso improved gas-exchange, but PEEP Poeso resulted in lower cardiac output compared with PEEP 5 and PEEP ΔP . CONCLUSION PEEP ΔP ameliorated the effects of Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum during surgery on end-expiratory PTP and lung volume, decreased driving pressure and dynamic elastic power, as well as improved gas-exchange while preserving cardiac output.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Superobesity and laparoscopic surgery promote negative end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure that causes atelectasis formation and impaired respiratory mechanics. The authors hypothesized that end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure differs between fixed and individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) strategies and mediates their effects on respiratory mechanics, end-expiratory lung volume, gas exchange, and hemodynamic parameters in superobese patients. METHODS In this prospective, nonrandomized crossover study including 40 superobese patients (body mass index 57.3 ± 6.4 kg/m2) undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery, PEEP was set according to (1) a fixed level of 8 cm H2O (PEEPEmpirical), (2) the highest respiratory system compliance (PEEPCompliance), or (3) an end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure targeting 0 cm H2O (PEEPTranspul) at different surgical positioning. The primary endpoint was end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure at different surgical positioning; secondary endpoints were respiratory mechanics, end-expiratory lung volume, gas exchange, and hemodynamic parameters. RESULTS Individualized PEEPCompliance compared to fixed PEEPEmpirical resulted in higher PEEP (supine, 17.2 ± 2.4 vs. 8.0 ± 0.0 cm H2O; supine with pneumoperitoneum, 21.5 ± 2.5 vs. 8.0 ± 0.0 cm H2O; and beach chair with pneumoperitoneum; 15.8 ± 2.5 vs. 8.0 ± 0.0 cm H2O; P < 0.001 each) and less negative end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure (supine, -2.9 ± 2.0 vs. -10.6 ± 2.6 cm H2O; supine with pneumoperitoneum, -2.9 ± 2.0 vs. -14.1 ± 3.7 cm H2O; and beach chair with pneumoperitoneum, -2.8 ± 2.2 vs. -9.2 ± 3.7 cm H2O; P < 0.001 each). Titrated PEEP, end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure, and lung volume were lower with PEEPCompliance compared to PEEPTranspul (P < 0.001 each). Respiratory system and transpulmonary driving pressure and mechanical power normalized to respiratory system compliance were reduced using PEEPCompliance compared to PEEPTranspul. CONCLUSIONS In superobese patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, individualized PEEPCompliance may provide a feasible compromise regarding end-expiratory transpulmonary pressures compared to PEEPEmpirical and PEEPTranspul, because PEEPCompliance with slightly negative end-expiratory transpulmonary pressures improved respiratory mechanics, lung volumes, and oxygenation while preserving cardiac output.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome in children, or PARDS, carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality that is not fully explained by PARDS severity alone. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction can be an insidious and often under-recognized complication of severe PARDS that may contribute to its untoward outcomes. Indeed, recent evidence suggest significantly worse outcomes in children who develop RV failure in their course of PARDS. However, in this narrative review, we highlight the dearth of evidence regarding the incidence of and risk factors for PARDS-associated RV dysfunction. While we wish to draw attention to the absence of available evidence that would inform recommendations around surveillance and treatment of RV dysfunction during severe PARDS, we leverage available evidence to glean insights into potentially helpful surveillance strategies and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
While both cardiac output (Qcirculatory) and right atrial pressure (PRA) are important measures in the intensive care unit (ICU), they are outputs of the system and not determinants. That is to say, in a model of the circulation wherein venous return and cardiac function find equilibrium at an 'operating point' (OP, defined by the PRA on the x-axis and Qcirculatory on the y-axis) both the PRA and Qcirculatory are, necessarily, dependent variables. A simplified geometrical approximation of Guyton's model is put forth to illustrate that the independent variables of the system are: 1) the mean systemic filling pressure (PMSF), 2) the pressure within the pericardium (PPC), 3) cardiac function and 4) the resistance to venous return. Classifying independent and dependent variables is clinically-important for therapeutic control of the circulation. Recent investigations in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have illuminated how PMSF, cardiac function and the resistance to venous return change when placing a patient in prone. Moreover, the location of the OP at baseline and the intimate physiological link between the heart and the lungs also mediate how the PRA and Qcirculatory respond to prone position. Whereas turning a patient from supine to prone is the focus of this discussion, the principles described within the framework apply equally-well to other more common ICU interventions including, but not limited to, ventilator management, initiating vasoactive medications and providing intravenous fluids.

Abstract
Clinically, it is widely recognized that surgical treatment is the preferred and reliable option for Stanford type A aortic dissection. Stanford type A aortic dissection is an emergent and serious cardiovascular disease characterized with an acute onset, poor prognosis, and high mortality. However, the incidences of postoperative complications are relatively higher due to the complexity of the disease and its intricate procedure. It has been considered that hypoxemia, one of the most common postoperative complications, plays an important role in having a worse clinical prognosis. Therefore, the effective intervention of postoperative hypoxemia is significant for the improved prognosis of patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection.

Mechanical Power in Prone Position Intubated Patients with COVID-19-Related ARDS: A Cohort Study. Crit Care Res Pract 2023; 2023:6604313. [PMID: 36911499 PMCID: PMC9995186 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6604313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Respiratory monitoring of mechanical ventilation (MV) is relevant and challenging in COVID-19. Mechanical power (MP) is a novel and promising monitoring tool in acute distress respiratory syndrome (ARDS), representing the amount of energy transferred from the ventilator to the patient. It encompasses several setting parameters and patient-dependent variables that could cause lung injury. MP can therefore be an additional tool in the assessment of these patients. Objective This study aims to evaluate respiratory monitoring through MP and its relationship with mortality in patients with COVID-19-related ARDS (CARDS) under mechanical ventilation (MV) and prone position (PP) strategies. Methods Retrospective, unicentric, and cohort studies. We included patients with CARDS under invasive MV and PP strategies. Information regarding MP, ventilation, and gas exchange was collected at 3 moments: (1) prior to the first PP, (2) during the first PP, and (3) during the last PP. We tested the relationship between MP and VR with in-hospital mortality. Results We included 91 patients. There was a statistically significant difference in MP measurements between survivors and nonsurvivors only in the last prone position (p < 0.001). This is due to the significant increase in MP measurements in nonsurvivors (difference from the baseline: 3.63 J/min; 95% CI: 0.31 to 6.94), which was not observed in the group that survived (difference from the baseline: 0.02 J/min; 95% CI: -2.66 to 2.70). In multivariate analysis, MP (p=0.009) was associated with hospital death when corrected for confounder variables (SAPS 3 score, mechanical ventilation time, age, and number of prone sessions). Conclusions MP is an independent predictor of mortality in PP patients with CARDS.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to compare driving pressure and absolute PaO2/FiO2 ratio in determining the best positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level. Patients and methods In 122 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, PEEP was increased until plateau pressure reached 30 cmH2O at constant tidal volume, then decreased at 15-min intervals, to 15, 10, and 5 cmH2O. The best PEEP by PaO2/FiO2 ratio (PEEPO2) was defined as the highest PaO2/FiO2 ratio obtained, and the best PEEP by driving pressure (PEEPDP) as the lowest driving pressure. The difference between the best PEEP levels was compared to a non-inferiority margin of 1.5 cmH2O. Main results The best mean PEEPO2 value was 11.9 ± 4.7 cmH2O compared to 10.6 ± 4.1 cmH2O for the best PEEPDP: mean difference = 1.3 cmH2O (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.4–2.3; one-tailed P value, 0.36). Only 46 PEEP levels were the same with the two methods (37.7%; 95% CI 29.6–46.5). PEEP level was ≥ 15 cmH2O in 61 (50%) patients with PEEPO2 and 39 (32%) patients with PEEPDP (P = 0.001). Conclusion Depending on the method chosen, the best PEEP level varies. The best PEEPDP level is lower than the best PEEPO2 level. Computing driving pressure is simple, faster and less invasive than measuring PaO2. However, our results do not demonstrate that one method deserves preference over the other in terms of patient outcome. Clinical trial number: #ACTRN12618000554268. Registered 13 April 2018.
