Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) alters the dynamics of lung inflation during mechanical ventilation. Repetitive alveolar collapse and expansion (RACE) predisposes the lung to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Two broad approaches are currently used to minimize VILI: (1) low tidal volume (LVT) with low-moderate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP); and (2) open lung approach (OLA). The LVT approach attempts to protect already open lung tissue from overdistension, while simultaneously resting collapsed tissue by excluding it from the cycle of mechanical ventilation. By contrast, the OLA attempts to reinflate potentially recruitable lung, usually over a period of seconds to minutes using higher PEEP used to prevent progressive loss of end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and RACE. However, even with these protective strategies, clinical studies have shown that ARDS-related mortality remains unacceptably high with a scarcity of effective interventions over the last two decades. One of the main limitations these varied interventions demonstrate to benefit is the observed clinical and pathologic heterogeneity in ARDS. We have developed an alternative ventilation strategy known as the Time Controlled Adaptive Ventilation (TCAV) method of applying the Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) mode, which takes advantage of the heterogeneous time- and pressure-dependent collapse and reopening of lung units. The TCAV method is a closed-loop system where the expiratory duration personalizes VT and EELV. Personalization of TCAV is informed and tuned with changes in respiratory system compliance (CRS) measured by the slope of the expiratory flow curve during passive exhalation. Two potentially beneficial features of TCAV are: (i) the expiratory duration is personalized to a given patient's lung physiology, which promotes alveolar stabilization by halting the progressive collapse of alveoli, thereby minimizing the time for the reopened lung to collapse again in the next expiration, and (ii) an extended inspiratory phase at a fixed inflation pressure after alveolar stabilization gradually reopens a small amount of tissue with each breath. Subsequently, densely collapsed regions are slowly ratcheted open over a period of hours, or even days. Thus, TCAV has the potential to minimize VILI, reducing ARDS-related morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a widely used short-term life support technique, but an accompanying adverse consequence can be pulmonary damage which is called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Mechanical ventilation can potentially affect the central nervous system and lead to long-term cognitive impairment. In recent years, many studies revealed that VILI, as a common lung injury, may be involved in the central pathogenesis of cognitive impairment by inducing hypoxia, inflammation, and changes in neural pathways. In addition, VILI has received attention in affecting the treatment of cognitive impairment and provides new insights into individualized therapy. The combination of lung protective ventilation and drug therapy can overcome the inevitable problems of poor prognosis from a new perspective. In this review, we summarized VILI and non-VILI factors as risk factors for cognitive impairment and concluded the latest mechanisms. Moreover, we retrospectively explored the role of improving VILI in cognitive impairment treatment. This work contributes to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of VILI-induced cognitive impairment and may provide future direction for the treatment and prognosis of cognitive impairment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During mechanical ventilation, cyclic recruitment and derecruitment (R/D) of alveoli result in focal points of heterogeneous stress throughout the lung. In the acutely injured lung, the rates at which alveoli can be recruited or derecruited may also be altered, requiring longer times at higher pressure levels to be recruited during inspiration, but shorter times at lower pressure levels to minimize collapse during exhalation. In this study, we used a computational model to simulate the effects of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) on acinar recruitment, with varying inspiratory pressure levels and durations of exhalation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The computational model consisted of a ventilator pressure source, a distensible breathing circuit, an endotracheal tube, and a porcine lung consisting of recruited and derecruited zones, as well as a transitional zone capable of intratidal R/D. Lung injury was simulated by modifying each acinus with an inflation-dependent surface tension. APRV was simulated for an inhalation duration (Thigh) of 4.0 seconds, inspiratory pressures (Phigh) of 28 and 40 cmH2O, and exhalation durations (Tlow) ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 seconds. RESULTS Both sustained acinar recruitment and intratidal R/D within the subtree were consistently higher for Phigh of 40 cmH2O vs. 28 cmH2O, regardless of Tlow. Increasing Tlow was associated with decreasing sustained acinar recruitment, but increasing intratidal R/D, within the subtree. Increasing Tlow was associated with decreasing elastance of both the total respiratory system and transitional subtree of the model. CONCLUSIONS Our computational model demonstrates the confounding effects of cyclic R/D, sustained recruitment, and parenchymal strain stiffening on estimates of total lung elastance during APRV. Increasing inspiratory pressures leads to not only more sustained recruitment of unstable acini but also more intratidal R/D. Our model indicates that higher inspiratory pressures should be used in conjunction with shorter exhalation times, to avoid increasing intratidal R/D.

Abstract
This study developed and investigated a comprehensive multiscale computational model of a mechanically ventilated ARDS lung to elucidate the underlying mechanisms contributing to the development or prevention of VILI. This model is built upon a healthy lung model that incorporates realistic airway and alveolar geometry, tissue distensibility, and surfactant dynamics. Key features of the ARDS model include recruitment and derecruitment (RD) dynamics, alveolar tissue viscoelasticity, and surfactant deficiency. This model successfully reproduces realistic pressure-volume (PV) behavior, dynamic surface tension, and time-dependent descriptions of RD events as a function of the ventilation scenario. Simulations of Time-Controlled Adaptive Ventilation (TCAV) modes, with short and long durations of exhalation (T Low - and T Low +, respectively), reveal a higher incidence of RD for T Low + despite reduced surface tensions due to interfacial compression. This finding aligns with experimental evidence emphasizing the critical role of timing in protective ventilation strategies. Quantitative analysis of energy dissipation indicates that while alveolar recruitment contributes only a small fraction of total energy dissipation, its spatial concentration and brief duration may significantly contribute to VILI progression due to its focal nature and higher intensity. Leveraging the computational framework, the model may be extended to facilitate the development of personalized protective ventilation strategies to enhance patient outcomes. As such, this computational modeling approach offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of VILI that may guide the optimization of ventilation strategies in ARDS management.

Abstract
Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have few treatment options other than supportive mechanical ventilation. The mortality associated with ARDS remains unacceptably high, and mechanical ventilation itself has the potential to increase mortality further by unintended ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Thus, there is motivation to improve management of ventilation in patients with ARDS. The immediate goal of mechanical ventilation in ARDS should be to prevent atelectrauma resulting from repetitive alveolar collapse and reopening. However, a long-term goal should be to re-open collapsed and edematous regions of the lung and reduce regions of high mechanical stress that lead to regional volutrauma. In this paper, we consider the proposed strategy used by the full-term newborn to open the fluid-filled lung during the initial breaths of life, by ratcheting tissues opened over a series of initial breaths with brief expirations. The newborn's cry after birth shares key similarities with the Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) modality, in which the expiratory duration is sufficiently short to minimize end-expiratory derecruitment. Using a simple computational model of the injured lung, we demonstrate that APRV can slowly open even the most recalcitrant alveoli with extended periods of high inspiratory pressure, while reducing alveolar re-collapse with brief expirations. These processes together comprise a ratchet mechanism by which the lung is progressively recruited, similar to the manner in which the newborn lung is aerated during a series of cries, albeit over longer time scales.

First Stabilize and then Gradually Recruit: A Paradigm Shift in Protective Mechanical Ventilation for Acute Lung Injury. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4633.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with a heterogeneous pattern of injury throughout the lung parenchyma that alters regional alveolar opening and collapse time constants. Such heterogeneity leads to atelectasis and repetitive alveolar collapse and expansion (RACE). The net effect is a progressive loss of lung volume with secondary ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Previous concepts of ARDS pathophysiology envisioned a two-compartment system: a small amount of normally aerated lung tissue in the non-dependent regions (termed "baby lung"); and a collapsed and edematous tissue in dependent regions. Based on such compartmentalization, two protective ventilation strategies have been developed: (1) a "protective lung approach" (PLA), designed to reduce overdistension in the remaining aerated compartment using a low tidal volume; and (2) an "open lung approach" (OLA), which first attempts to open the collapsed lung tissue over a short time frame (seconds or minutes) with an initial recruitment maneuver, and then stabilize newly recruited tissue using titrated positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). A more recent understanding of ARDS pathophysiology identifies regional alveolar instability and collapse (i.e., hidden micro-atelectasis) in both lung compartments as a primary VILI mechanism. Based on this understanding, we propose an alternative strategy to ventilating the injured lung, which we term a "stabilize lung approach" (SLA). The SLA is designed to immediately stabilize the lung and reduce RACE while gradually reopening collapsed tissue over hours or days. At the core of SLA is time-controlled adaptive ventilation (TCAV), a method to adjust the parameters of the airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) modality. Since the acutely injured lung at any given airway pressure requires more time for alveolar recruitment and less time for alveolar collapse, SLA adjusts inspiratory and expiratory durations and inflation pressure levels. The TCAV method SLA reverses the open first and stabilize second OLA method by: (i) immediately stabilizing lung tissue using a very brief exhalation time (≤0.5 s), so that alveoli simply do not have sufficient time to collapse. The exhalation duration is personalized and adaptive to individual respiratory mechanical properties (i.e., elastic recoil); and (ii) gradually recruiting collapsed lung tissue using an inflate and brake ratchet combined with an extended inspiratory duration (4-6 s) method. Translational animal studies, clinical statistical analysis, and case reports support the use of TCAV as an efficacious lung protective strategy.
