Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although pressure support ventilation is one of the most commonly used assisted ventilation modes in intensive care units, there is still a lack of precise strategies for setting pressure support. By performing an end-inspiratory airway occlusion, the difference between the peak and plateau airway pressure, which is defined as pressure muscle index (PMI), can be easily measured on the ventilator screen. Previous studies have shown that PMI is accurate in detecting high and low inspiratory effort. No study has been conducted to investigate the use of PMI as an indicator for setting inspiratory pressure support. METHOD AND ANALYSIS This is a study protocol for a prospective, single-centre, randomised controlled, pilot trial. Sixty participants undergoing pressure support ventilation will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the control group or intervention group, with pressure support adjusted according to standard care or guided by the PMI strategy for 48 hours, respectively. The feasibility of the PMI-guided strategy will be evaluated. The primary endpoint is the proportion of inspiratory effort measurements within a well-accepted 'normal' range, which is predefined as oesophageal pressure-time product per minute between 50 and 200 cmH2O⋅s/min, for each patient during 48 hours of pressure support adjustment. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol has been approved by Beijing Tiantan Hospital (KY2023-005-02). The data generated in the present study will be available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. The results of the trial will be submitted to international peer-reviewed journals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mechanical power of ventilation, a summary parameter reflecting the energy transferred from the ventilator to the respiratory system, has associations with outcomes. INTELLiVENT-Adaptive Support Ventilation is an automated ventilation mode that changes ventilator settings according to algorithms that target a low work-and force of breathing. The study aims to compare mechanical power between automated ventilation by means of INTELLiVENT-Adaptive Support Ventilation and conventional ventilation in critically ill patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS International, multicenter, randomized crossover clinical trial in patients that were expected to need invasive ventilation > 24 hours. Patients were randomly assigned to start with a 3-hour period of automated ventilation or conventional ventilation after which the alternate ventilation mode was selected. The primary outcome was mechanical power in passive and active patients; secondary outcomes included key ventilator settings and ventilatory parameters that affect mechanical power. RESULTS A total of 96 patients were randomized. Median mechanical power was not different between automated and conventional ventilation (15.8 [11.5-21.0] versus 16.1 [10.9-22.6] J/min; mean difference -0.44 (95%-CI -1.17 to 0.29) J/min; P = 0.24). Subgroup analyses showed that mechanical power was lower with automated ventilation in passive patients, 16.9 [12.5-22.1] versus 19.0 [14.1-25.0] J/min; mean difference -1.76 (95%-CI -2.47 to -10.34J/min; P < 0.01), and not in active patients (14.6 [11.0-20.3] vs 14.1 [10.1-21.3] J/min; mean difference 0.81 (95%-CI -2.13 to 0.49) J/min; P = 0.23). CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of unselected critically ill invasively ventilated patients, automated ventilation by means of INTELLiVENT-Adaptive Support Ventilation did not reduce mechanical power. A reduction in mechanical power was only seen in passive patients. STUDY REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov (study identifier NCT04827927), April 1, 2021.

Abstract
This pilot study aimed to investigate the relation between cardio-respiratory parameters derived from Central Venous Pressure (CVP) waveform and Extubation Failure (EF) in mechanically ventilated ICU patients during post-extubation period. This study also proposes a new methodology for analysing these parameters during rest/sleep periods to try to improve the identification of EF. We conducted a prospective observational study, computing CVP-derived parameters including breathing effort, spectral analyses, and entropy in twenty critically ill patients post-extubation. The Dynamic Warping Index (DWi) was calculated from the respiratory component extracted from the CVP signal to identify rest/sleep states. The obtained parameters from EF patients and patients without EF were compared both during arbitrary periods and during reduced DWi (rest/sleep). We have analysed data from twenty patients of which nine experienced EF. Our findings may suggest significantly increased respiratory effort in EF patients compared to those successfully extubated. Our study also suggests the occurrence of significant change in the frequency dispersion of the cardiac signal component. We also identified a possible improvement in the differentiation between the two groups of patients when assessed during rest/sleep states. Although with caveats regarding the sample size, the results of this pilot study may suggest that CVP-derived cardio-respiratory parameters are valuable for monitoring respiratory failure during post-extubation, which could aid in managing non-invasive interventions and possibly reduce the incidence of EF. Our findings also indicate the possible importance of considering sleep/rest state when assessing cardio-respiratory parameters, which could enhance respiratory failure detection/monitoring.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) may be a valuable tool for estimating respiratory effort in non-invasive ventilation. The primary aim of this physiological study is the investigation of the correlation of DTF with oesophageal pressure swings (ΔPoes). A secondary aim is to assess the discriminatory capacity of the index tests for different exercise loads. METHODS Healthy volunteers underwent spontaneous breathing and non-invasive ventilation with a sequence of different respirator settings. The first sequence was carried out at rest. The same sequence was repeated twice, with additional ergometry of 25 and 50 Watts, respectively. DTF and ΔPoes were measured during each ventilation configuration. RESULTS 23 individuals agreed to participate. DTF was moderately correlated with ΔPoes (repeated measures correlation ρ = 0.410, p < 0.001). Both ΔPoes and DTF increased consistently with exercise loading in every ventilation configuration, however ΔPoes showed greater discriminatory capacity. CONCLUSION DTF was moderately correlated with ΔPoes and could discriminate reasonably between exercise loads in a small cohort of non-invasively ventilated healthy subjects. While it may not accurately reflect the absolute respiratory effort, DTF might help titrating individual non-invasive respiratory support. Further investigations are needed to test this hypothesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Quantifying breathing effort in non-intubated patients is important but difficult. We aimed to develop two models to estimate it in patients treated with high-flow oxygen therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the data of 260 patients from previous studies who received high-flow oxygen therapy. Their breathing effort was measured as the maximal deflection of esophageal pressure (ΔPes). We developed a multivariable linear regression model to estimate ΔPes (in cmH2O) and a multivariable logistic regression model to predict the risk of ΔPes being >10 cmH2O. Candidate predictors included age, sex, diagnosis of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), respiratory rate, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, the results of arterial blood gas analysis, including base excess concentration (BEa) and the ratio of arterial tension to the inspiratory fraction of oxygen (PaO2:FiO2), and the product term between COVID-19 and PaO2:FiO2. RESULTS We found that ΔPes can be estimated from the presence or absence of COVID-19, BEa, respiratory rate, PaO2:FiO2, and the product term between COVID-19 and PaO2:FiO2. The adjusted R2 was 0.39. The risk of ΔPes being >10 cmH2O can be predicted from BEa, respiratory rate, and PaO2:FiO2. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.79 (0.73-0.85). We called these two models BREF, where BREF stands for BReathing EFfort and the three common predictors: BEa (B), respiratory rate (RE), and PaO2:FiO2 (F). CONCLUSIONS We developed two models to estimate the breathing effort of patients on high-flow oxygen therapy. Our initial findings are promising and suggest that these models merit further evaluation.

The influence of drugs used for sedation during mechanical ventilation on respiratory pattern during unassisted breathing and assisted mechanical ventilation: a physiological systematic review and meta-analysis. EClinicalMedicine 2024; 68:102417. [PMID: 38235422 PMCID: PMC10789641 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.102417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Sedation management has a major impact on outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients, but sedation strategies do not generally consider the differential effects of different sedatives on respiration and respiratory pattern. A systematic review was undertaken to quantitatively summarize the known effects of different classes of drugs used for sedation on respiratory pattern during both spontaneous breathing and assisted mechanical ventilation. Methods This was a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted using Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to June 2020 to retrieve studies that measured respiratory parameters before and after the administration of opioids, benzodiazepines, intravenous and inhaled anaesthetic agents, and other hypnotic agents (PROSPERO #CRD42020190017). A random-effects meta-analytic model was employed to estimate the mean percentage change in each of the respiratory indices according to medication exposure with and without mechanical ventilation. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tools. Findings Fifty-one studies were included in the analysis. Risk of bias was generally deemed to be low for most studies. Respiratory rate decreased with the administration of opioids in both non-ventilated patients (18% decrease, 95% CI 12-24%) and ventilated patients (26% decrease, 95% CI 15-37%) and increased with inhaled anaesthetics in non-ventilated patients (83% increase, 95% CI 49-118%) and ventilated patients (50% increase, 28-72%). In non-ventilated patients, tidal volume decreased following administration of inhaled aesthetics (55% decrease, 95% CI 25-86%), propofol (36% decrease, 95% CI 20-52%), and benzodiazepines (28% decrease, 95% CI 17-40%); in patients receiving assisted mechanical ventilation, tidal volume was not significantly affected by sedation. Administration of other hypnotic agents was not associated with changes in respiratory rate or tidal volume. Interpretation Different classes of drugs used for sedation exert differential effects on respiratory pattern, and this may influence weaning and outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients. Funding This study did not receive any funding support.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a modality of ventilation in which high inspiratory continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) alternates with brief releases. In this review, we will discuss the rationale for APRV as a lung protective strategy and then provide a practical introduction to initiating APRV using the time-controlled adaptive ventilation (TCAV) method. RECENT FINDINGS APRV using the TCAV method uses an extended inspiratory time and brief expiratory release to first stabilize and then gradually recruit collapsed lung (over hours/days), by progressively 'ratcheting' open a small volume of collapsed tissue with each breath. The brief expiratory release acts as a 'brake' preventing newly recruited units from re-collapsing, reversing the main drivers of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The precise timing of each release is based on analysis of expiratory flow and is set to achieve termination of expiratory flow at 75% of the peak expiratory flow. Optimization of the release time reflects the changes in elastance and, therefore, is personalized (i.e. conforms to individual patient pathophysiology), and adaptive (i.e. responds to changes in elastance over time). SUMMARY APRV using the TCAV method is a paradigm shift in protective lung ventilation, which primarily aims to stabilize the lung and gradually reopen collapsed tissue to achieve lung homogeneity eliminating the main mechanistic drivers of VILI.

Abstract
Monitoring the patient receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is challenging due to the complex physiological interplay between native and membrane lung. Understanding these interactions is essential to understand the utility and limitations of different approaches to respiratory monitoring during ECMO. We present a summary of the underlying physiology of native and membrane lung gas exchange and describe different tools for titrating and monitoring gas exchange during ECMO. However, the most important role of VV ECMO in severe respiratory failure is as a means of avoiding further ergotrauma. Although optimal respiratory management during ECMO has not been defined, over the last decade there have been advances in multimodal respiratory assessment which have the potential to guide care. We describe a combination of imaging, ventilator-derived or invasive lung mechanic assessments as a means to individualise management during ECMO.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic sleep and breathing disorder with significant health complications, including cardiovascular disease and neurocognitive impairments. To ensure timely treatment, there is a need for a portable, accurate and rapid method of diagnosing OSA. This review examines the use of various physiological signals used in the detection of respiratory events and evaluates their effectiveness in portable monitors (PM) relative to gold standard polysomnography. The primary objective is to explore the relationship between these physiological parameters and OSA, their application in calculating the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), the standard metric for OSA diagnosis, and the derivation of non-AHI metrics that offer additional diagnostic value. It is found that increasing the number of parameters in PMs does not necessarily improve OSA detection. Several factors can cause performance variations among different PMs, even if they extract similar signals. The review also highlights the potential of PMs to be used beyond OSA diagnosis. These devices possess parameters that can be utilized to obtain endotypic and other non-AHI metrics, enabling improved characterization of the disorder and personalized treatment strategies. Advancements in PM technology, coupled with thorough evaluation and validation of these devices, have the potential to revolutionize OSA diagnosis, personalized treatment, and ultimately improve health outcomes for patients with OSA. By identifying the key factors influencing performance and exploring the application of PMs beyond OSA diagnosis, this review aims to contribute to the ongoing development and utilization of portable, efficient, and effective diagnostic tools for OSA.

Abstract
Diaphragm dysfunction is a highly prevalent phenomenon in patients receiving mechanical ventilation, mainly due to ventilatory over-assistance and the development of diaphragm disuse atrophy. Promoting diaphragm activation whenever possible and facilitating an adequate interaction between the patient and the ventilator is encouraged at the bedside to avoid myotrauma and further lung injury. Eccentric contractions of the diaphragm are defined as muscle activation while muscle fibers are lengthening within the exhalation phase. There is recent evidence that suggests that eccentric activation of the diaphragm is very frequent and may occur during post-inspiratory activity or under different types of patient-ventilator asynchronies, which include ineffective efforts, premature cycling, and reverse triggering. The consequences of this eccentric contraction of the diaphragm may have opposite effects, depending on the level of breathing effort. For instance, during high or excessive effort, eccentric contractions can result in diaphragm dysfunction and injured muscle fibers. Conversely, when eccentric contractions of the diaphragm occur along with low breathing effort, a preserved diaphragm function, better oxygenation, and more aerated lung tissue are observed. Despite this controversial evidence, evaluating the level of breathing effort at the bedside seems crucial and is highly recommended to optimize ventilatory therapy. The impact of eccentric contractions of the diaphragm on the patient's outcome remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of the patient's respiratory effort is essential during assisted ventilation. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of airway pressure (Paw)-based indices to detect potential injurious inspiratory effort during pressure support (PS) ventilation. METHODS In this prospective diagnostic accuracy study conducted in four ICUs in two academic hospitals, 28 adult acute respiratory failure patients undergoing PS ventilation were enrolled. A downward PS titration was conducted from 20 cmH2O to 2 cmH2O at a 2 cmH2O interval. By performing an end-expiratory airway occlusion maneuver, the negative Paw generated during the first 100 ms (P0.1) and the maximal negative swing of Paw (∆Pocc) were measured. After an end-inspiratory airway occlusion, Paw reached a plateau, and the magnitude of change in plateau from peak Paw was measured as pressure muscle index (PMI). Esophageal pressure was monitored and inspiratory muscle pressure (Pmus) and Pmus-time product per minute (PTPmus/min) were used as the reference standard for the patient's effort. High and low effort was defined as Pmus > 10 and < 5 cmH2O, or PTPmus/min > 200 and < 50 cmH2O s min-1, respectively. RESULTS A total of 246 levels of PS were tested. The low inspiratory effort was diagnosed in 145 (59.0%) and 136 (55.3%) PS levels using respective Pmus and PTPmus/min criterion. The receiver operating characteristic area of the three Paw-based indices by the respective two criteria ranged from 0.87 to 0.95, and balanced sensitivity (0.83-0.96), specificity (0.74-0.88), and positive (0.80-0.91) and negative predictive values (0.78-0.94) were obtained. The high effort was diagnosed in 34 (13.8%) and 17 (6.9%) support levels using Pmus and PTPmus/min criterion, respectively. High receiver operating characteristic areas of the three Paw-based indices by the two criteria were found (0.93-0.95). A high sensitivity (0.80-1.00) and negative predictive value (0.97-1.00) were found with a low positive predictive value (0.23-0.64). CONCLUSIONS By performing simple airway occlusion maneuvers, the Paw-based indices could be reliably used to detect low inspiratory efforts. Non-invasive and easily accessible characteristics support their potential bedside use for avoiding over-assistance. More evaluation of their performance is required in cohorts with high effort.

Physiological effects of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy after extubation: a randomized crossover study. Ann Intensive Care 2023; 13:104. [PMID: 37851284 PMCID: PMC10584771 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-023-01203-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prophylactic high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy can decrease the risk of extubation failure. It is frequently used in the postextubation phase alone or in combination with noninvasive ventilation. However, its physiological effects in this setting have not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to determine comprehensively the effects of HFNC applied after extubation on respiratory effort, diaphragm activity, gas exchange, ventilation distribution, and cardiovascular biomarkers. METHODS This was a prospective randomized crossover physiological study in critically ill patients comparing 1 h of HFNC versus 1 h of standard oxygen after extubation. The main inclusion criteria were mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h due to acute respiratory failure, and extubation after a successful spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). We measured respiratory effort through esophageal/transdiaphragmatic pressures, and diaphragm electrical activity (ΔEAdi). Lung volumes and ventilation distribution were estimated by electrical impedance tomography. Arterial and central venous blood gases were analyzed, as well as cardiac stress biomarkers. RESULTS We enrolled 22 patients (age 59 ± 17 years; 9 women) who had been intubated for 8 ± 6 days before extubation. Respiratory effort was significantly lower with HFNC than with standard oxygen therapy, as evidenced by esophageal pressure swings (5.3 [4.2-7.1] vs. 7.2 [5.6-10.3] cmH2O; p < 0.001), pressure-time product (85 [67-140] vs. 156 [114-238] cmH2O*s/min; p < 0.001) and ΔEAdi (10 [7-13] vs. 14 [9-16] µV; p = 0.022). In addition, HFNC induced increases in end-expiratory lung volume and PaO2/FiO2 ratio, decreases in respiratory rate and ventilatory ratio, while no changes were observed in systemic hemodynamics, Troponin T, or in amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic application of HFNC after extubation provides substantial respiratory support and unloads respiratory muscles. Trial registration January 15, 2021. NCT04711759.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the literature exploring clinical applications for esophageal manometry in critically ill patients has increased. New mechanical ventilators and bedside monitors allow measurement of esophageal pressures easily at the bedside. The bedside clinician can now evaluate the magnitude and timing of esophageal pressure swings to evaluate respiratory muscle activity and transpulmonary pressures. The respiratory therapist has all the tools to perform these measurements to optimize mechanical ventilation delivery. However, as with any measurement, technique, fidelity, and accuracy are paramount. This primer highlights key knowledge necessary to perform measurements and highlights areas of both uncertainty and ongoing development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effort of Breathing (EOB) calculations may be a reliable alternative to Work of Breathing (WOB) calculations in which Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) replaces spirometry. We sought to compare EOB and WOB measurements in a nonhuman primate model of increasing extrathoracic inspiratory resistance simulating upper airway obstruction (UAO). METHODS RIP, spirometry, and esophageal manometry were measured in spontaneously breathing, intubated Rhesus monkeys utilizing 11 calibrated resistors randomly applied for 2-min. EOB was calculated breath-by-breath as Pressure Rate Product (PRP) and Pressure Time Product (PTP). WOB was calculated from the Pressure-Volume curve based on spirometry (WOBSPIR) or RIP flow (WOBRIP). RESULTS WOB, PRP and PTP showed similar linear increases when exposed to higher levels of resistive loads. When comparing WOBSPIR to WOBRIP, a similar strong correlation was seen for both signals as resistance increased and there were no statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION EOB and WOB parameters utilizing esophageal manometry and RIP, independent of spirometry, showed a strong correlation as a function of increasing inspiratory resistance in nonhuman primates. This allows several potential monitoring possibilities for non-invasively ventilated patients or situations where spirometry is not available. IMPACT EOB and WOB parameters showed a strong correlation as a function of increasing inspiratory resistance in nonhuman primates. There was a strong correlation between spirometry-based WOB versus RIP-based WOB. To date, it has remained untested as to whether EOB is a reliable alternative for WOB and if RIP can replace spirometry in these measurements. Our results enable additional potential monitoring possibilities for non-invasively ventilated patients or situations where spirometry is not available. Where spirometry is not available, there is no need to apply a facemask post extubation to a spontaneously breathing, non-intubated infant to make objective EOB measurements.

Abstract
There is a well-recognised importance for personalising mechanical ventilation settings to protect the lungs and the diaphragm for each individual patient. Measurement of oesophageal pressure (P oes) as an estimate of pleural pressure allows assessment of partitioned respiratory mechanics and quantification of lung stress, which helps our understanding of the patient's respiratory physiology and could guide individualisation of ventilator settings. Oesophageal manometry also allows breathing effort quantification, which could contribute to improving settings during assisted ventilation and mechanical ventilation weaning. In parallel with technological improvements, P oes monitoring is now available for daily clinical practice. This review provides a fundamental understanding of the relevant physiological concepts that can be assessed using P oes measurements, both during spontaneous breathing and mechanical ventilation. We also present a practical approach for implementing oesophageal manometry at the bedside. While more clinical data are awaited to confirm the benefits of P oes-guided mechanical ventilation and to determine optimal targets under different conditions, we discuss potential practical approaches, including positive end-expiratory pressure setting in controlled ventilation and assessment of inspiratory effort during assisted modes.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, and while no specific etiologic interventions have been shown to improve outcomes, noninvasive and invasive respiratory support strategies are life-saving interventions that allow time for lung recovery. However, the inappropriate management of these strategies, which neglects the unique features of respiratory, lung, and chest wall mechanics may result in disease progression, such as patient self-inflicted lung injury during spontaneous breathing or by ventilator-induced lung injury during invasive mechanical ventilation. ARDS characteristics are highly heterogeneous; therefore, a physiology-based approach is strongly advocated to titrate the delivery and management of respiratory support strategies to match patient characteristics and needs to limit ARDS progression. Several tools have been implemented in clinical practice to aid the clinician in identifying the ARDS sub-phenotypes based on physiological peculiarities (inspiratory effort, respiratory mechanics, and recruitability), thus allowing for the appropriate application of personalized supportive care. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of noninvasive and invasive respiratory support strategies, as well as discuss how identifying ARDS sub-phenotypes in daily practice can help clinicians to deliver personalized respiratory support and potentially improve patient outcomes.

Performance of Noninvasive Airway Occlusion Maneuvers to Assess Lung Stress and Diaphragm Effort in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Patients. Anesthesiology 2023; 138:274-288.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monitoring and controlling lung stress and diaphragm effort has been hypothesized to limit lung injury and diaphragm injury. The occluded inspiratory airway pressure (Pocc) and the airway occlusion pressure at 100 ms (P0.1) have been used as noninvasive methods to assess lung stress and respiratory muscle effort, but comparative performance of these measures and their correlation to diaphragm effort is unknown. The authors hypothesized that Pocc and P0.1 correlate with diaphragm effort and lung stress and would have strong discriminative performance in identifying extremes of lung stress and diaphragm effort. METHODS Change in transdiaphragmatic pressure and transpulmonary pressure was obtained with double-balloon nasogastric catheters in critically ill patients (n = 38). Pocc and P0.1 were measured every 1 to 3 h. Correlations between Pocc and P0.1 with change in transdiaphragmatic pressure and transpulmonary pressure were computed from patients from the first cohort. Accuracy of Pocc and P0.1 to identify patients with extremes of lung stress (change in transpulmonary pressure > 20 cm H2O) and diaphragm effort (change in transdiaphragmatic pressure < 3 cm H2O and >12 cm H2O) in the preceding hour was assessed with area under receiver operating characteristic curves. Cutoffs were validated in patients from the second cohort (n = 13). RESULTS Pocc and P0.1 correlate with change in transpulmonary pressure (R2 = 0.62 and 0.51, respectively) and change in transdiaphragmatic pressure (R2 = 0.53 and 0.22, respectively). Area under receiver operating characteristic curves to detect high lung stress is 0.90 (0.86 to 0.94) for Pocc and 0.88 (0.84 to 0.92) for P0.1. Area under receiver operating characteristic curves to detect low diaphragm effort is 0.97 (0.87 to 1.00) for Pocc and 0.93 (0.81 to 0.99) for P0.1. Area under receiver operating characteristic curves to detect high diaphragm effort is 0.86 (0.81 to 0.91) for Pocc and 0.73 (0.66 to 0.79) for P0.1. Performance was similar in the external dataset. CONCLUSIONS Pocc and P0.1 correlate with lung stress and diaphragm effort in the preceding hour. Diagnostic performance of Pocc and P0.1 to detect extremes in these parameters is reasonable to excellent. Pocc is more accurate in detecting high diaphragm effort. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
Reverse triggering dyssynchrony is a frequent phenomenon recently recognized in sedated critically ill patients under controlled ventilation. It occurs in at least 30-55% of these patients and often occurs in the transition from fully passive to assisted mechanical ventilation. During reverse triggering, patient inspiratory efforts start after the passive insufflation by mechanical breaths. The most often referred mechanism is the entrainment of the patient's intrinsic respiratory rhythm from the brainstem respiratory centers to periodic mechanical insufflations from the ventilator. However, reverse triggering might also occur because of local reflexes without involving the respiratory rhythm generator in the brainstem. Reverse triggering is observed during the acute phase of the disease, when patients may be susceptible to potential deleterious consequences of injurious or asynchronous efforts. Diagnosing reverse triggering might be challenging and can easily be missed. Inspection of ventilator waveforms or more sophisticated methods, such as the electrical activity of the diaphragm or esophageal pressure, can be used for diagnosis. The occurrence of reverse triggering might have clinical consequences. On the basis of physiological data, reverse triggering might be beneficial or injurious for the diaphragm and the lung, depending on the magnitude of the inspiratory effort. Reverse triggering can cause breath-stacking and loss of protective lung ventilation when triggering a second cycle. Little is known about how to manage patients with reverse triggering; however, available evidence can guide management on the basis of physiological principles.

Abstract
Severe diaphragm dysfunction can lead to respiratory failure and to the need for permanent mechanical ventilation. Yet permanent tethering to a mechanical ventilator through the mouth or via tracheostomy can hinder a patient's speech, swallowing ability and mobility. Here we show, in a porcine model of varied respiratory insufficiency, that a contractile soft robotic actuator implanted above the diaphragm augments its motion during inspiration. Synchronized actuation of the diaphragm-assist implant with the native respiratory effort increased tidal volumes and maintained ventilation flow rates within the normal range. Robotic implants that intervene at the diaphragm rather than at the upper airway and that augment physiological metrics of ventilation may restore respiratory performance without sacrificing quality of life.

Evaluation of the accuracy of established patient inspiratory effort estimation methods during mechanical support ventilation. Heliyon 2023; 9:e13610. [PMID: 36852019 PMCID: PMC9958297 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e13610] [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: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
There is a clinical need for monitoring inspiratory effort to prevent lung- and diaphragm injury in patients who receive supportive mechanical ventilation in an Intensive Care Unit. Different pressure-based techniques are available to estimate this inspiratory effort at the bedside, but the accuracy of their effort estimation is uncertain since they are all based on a simplified linear model of the respiratory system, which omits gas compressibility of air, and the viscoelasticity and nonlinearities of the respiratory system. The aim of this in-silico study was to provide an overview of the pressure-based estimation techniques and to evaluate their accuracy using a more sophisticated model of the respiratory system and ventilator. The influence of the following parameters on the accuracy of the pressure-based estimation techniques was evaluated using the in-silico model: 1) the patient's respiratory mechanics 2) PEEP and the inspiratory pressure of the ventilator 3) gas compressibility of air 4) viscoelasticity of the respiratory system 5) the strength of the inspiratory effort. The best-performing technique in terms of accuracy was the whole breath occlusion. The average error and maximum error were the lowest for all patient archetypes. We found that the error was related to the expansion of gas in the breathing set and lungs and respiratory compliance. However, concerns exist that other factors not included in the model, such as a changed muscle-force relation during an occlusion, might influence the true accuracy. The estimation techniques based on the esophageal pressure showed an error related to the viscoelastic element in the model which leads to a higher error than the occlusion. The error of the esophageal pressure-based techniques is therefore highly dependent on the pathology of the patient and the settings of the ventilator and might change over time while a patient recovers or becomes more ill.

Abstract
Purpose: Under the influence of COVID-19 and the in-hospital cost, the in-home detection of cardiovascular disease with smart sensing devices is becoming more popular recently. In the presence of the qualified signals, ballistocardiography (BCG) can not only reflect the cardiac mechanical movements, but also detect the HF in a non-contact manner. However, for the potential HF patients, the additional quality assessment with ECG-aided requires more procedures and brings the inconvenience to their in-home HF diagnosis. To enable the HF detection in many real applications, we proposed a machine learning-aided scheme for the HF detection in this paper, where the BCG signals recorded from the force sensor were employed without the heartbeat location, and the respiratory effort signals separated from force sensors provided more HF features due to the connection between the heart and the lung systems. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed HF detection scheme was verified in comparative experiments. Methods: First, a piezoelectric sensor was used to record a signal sequences of the two-dimensional vital sign, which includes the BCG and the respiratory effort. Then, the linear and the non-linear features w.r.t. BCG and respiratory effort signals were extracted to serve the HF detection. Finally, the improved HF detection performance was verified through the LOO and the LOSO cross-validation settings with different machine learning classifiers. Results: The proposed machine learning-aided scheme achieved the robust performance in the HF detection by using 4 different classifiers, and yielded an accuracy of 94.97% and 87.00% in the LOO and the LOSO experiments, respectively. In addition, experimental results demonstrated that the designed respiratory and cardiopulmonary features are beneficial to the HF detection (LVEF ≤ 49 % ). Conclusion: This study proposed a machine learning-aided HF diagnostic scheme. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed scheme can fully exploit the relationship between the heart and the lung systems to potentially improve the in-home HF detection performance by using both the BCG, the respiratory and the cardiopulmonary-related features.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To map the evidence for ventilation liberation practices in pediatric respiratory failure using the Realist And MEta-narrative Evidence Syntheses: Evolving Standards publication standards. DATA SOURCES CINAHL, MEDLINE, COCHRANE, and EMBASE. Trial registers included the following: ClinicalTrials.gov, European Union clinical trials register, International Standardized Randomized Controlled Trial Number register. STUDY SELECTION Abstracts were screened followed by review of full text. Articles published in English language incorporating a heterogeneous population of both infants and older children were assessed. DATA EXTRACTION None. DATA SYNTHESIS Weaning can be considered as the process by which positive pressure is decreased and the patient becomes increasingly responsible for generating the energy necessary for effective gas exchange. With the growing use of noninvasive respiratory support, extubation can lie in the middle of the weaning process if some additional positive pressure is used after extubation, while for some extubation may constitute the end of weaning. Testing for extubation readiness is a key component of the weaning process as it allows the critical care practitioner to assess the capability and endurance of the patient's respiratory system to resume unassisted ventilation. Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) are often seen as extubation readiness testing (ERT), but the SBT is used to determine if the patient can maintain adequate spontaneous ventilation with minimal ventilatory support, whereas ERT implies the patient is ready for extubation. CONCLUSIONS Current literature suggests using a structured approach that includes a daily assessment of patient's readiness to extubate may reduce total ventilation time. Increasing evidence indicates that such daily assessments needs to include SBTs without added pressure support. Measures of elevated load as well as measures of impaired respiratory muscle capacity are independently associated with extubation failure in children, indicating that these should also be assessed as part of ERT.

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

Abstract
Background Bedside assessment of low levels of inspiratory effort, which are probably insufficient to prevent muscle atrophy, is challenging. The flow index, which is derived from the analysis of the inspiratory portion of the flow–time waveform, has been recently introduced as a non-invasive parameter to evaluate the inspiratory effort. The primary objective of the present study was to provide an external validation of the flow index to detect low inspiratory effort. Methods Datasets containing flow, airway pressure, and esophageal pressure (Pes)–time waveforms were obtained from a previously published study in 100 acute brain-injured patients undergoing pressure support ventilation. Waveforms data were analyzed offline. A low inspiratory effort was defined by one of the following criteria, work of breathing (WOB) less than 0.3 J/L, Pes–time product (PTPes) per minute less than 50 cmH2O•s/min, or inspiratory muscle pressure (Pmus) less than 5 cmH2O, adding “or occurrence of ineffective effort more than 10%” for all criteria. The flow index was calculated according to previously reported method. The association of flow index with Pes-derived parameters of effort was investigated. The diagnostic accuracy of the flow index to detect low effort was analyzed. Results Moderate correlations were found between flow index and WOB, Pmus, and PTPes per breath and per minute (Pearson’s correlation coefficients ranged from 0.546 to 0.634, P < 0.001). The incidence of low inspiratory effort was 62%, 51%, and 55% using the definition of WOB, PTPes per minute, and Pmus, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for flow index to diagnose low effort was 0.88, 0.81, and 0.88, for the three respective definition. By using the cutoff value of flow index less than 2.1, the diagnostic performance for the three definitions showed sensitivity of 0.95–0.96, specificity of 0.57–0.71, positive predictive value of 0.70–0.84, and negative predictive value of 0.90–0.93. Conclusions The flow index is associated with Pes-based inspiratory effort measurements. Flow index can be used as a valid instrument to screen low inspiratory effort with a high probability to exclude cases without the condition.

Abstract
Background Ventilator liberation is one of the most challenging aspects in patients with respiratory failure. Most patients are weaned through a transition from full to partial respiratory support, whereas some advocate using a continuous spontaneous ventilation (CSV). However, there is little scientific evidence supporting the practice of pediatric ventilator liberation, including the timing of onset of and the approach to weaning mode. We sought to explore differences in patient effort between a pressure controlled continuous mode of ventilation (PC-CMV) [in this cohort PC assist/control (PC-A/C)] with a reduced ventilator rate and CSV, and to study changes in patient effort with decreasing PS. Methods In this prospective physiology cross-over study, we randomized children < 5 years to first PC-A/C with a 25% reduction in ventilator rate, or CSV (continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] + PS). Patients were then crossed over to the other arm. Patient effort was measured by calculating inspiratory work of breathing (WOB) using the Campbell diagram (WOBCampbell), and by pressure–rate-product (PRP) and pressure–time-product (PTP). Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) was used to calculate the phase angle. Measurements were obtained at baseline, during PC-A/C and CPAP + PS, and during decreasing set PS (maximum -6 cmH2O).
Results Thirty-six subjects with a median age of 4.4 (IQR 1.5–11.9) months and median ventilation time of 4.9 (IQR 3.4–7.0) days were included. Nearly all patients (94.4%) were admitted with primary respiratory failure. WOBCampbell during baseline [0.67 (IQR 0.38–1.07) Joules/L] did not differ between CSV [0.49 (IQR 0.17–0.83) Joules/L] or PC-A/C [0.47 (IQR 0.17–1.15) Joules/L]. Neither PRP, PTP, ∆Pes nor phase angle was different between the two ventilator modes. Reducing pressure support resulted in a statistically significant increase in patient effort, albeit that these differences were clinically negligible. Conclusions Patient effort during pediatric ventilation liberation was not increased when patients were in a CSV mode of ventilation compared to a ventilator mode with a ventilator back-up rate. Reducing the level of PS did not lead to clinically relevant increases in patient effort. These data may aid in a better approach to pediatric ventilation liberation.

Abstract
Technological advances in mechanical ventilation have been essential to increasing the survival rate in intensive care units. Usually, patients needing mechanical ventilation use controlled ventilation to override the patient’s respiratory muscles and favor lung protection. Weaning from mechanical ventilation implies a transition towards spontaneous breathing, mainly using assisted mechanical ventilation. In this transition, the challenge for clinicians is to avoid under and over assistance and minimize excessive respiratory effort and iatrogenic diaphragmatic and lung damage. Esophageal balloon monitoring allows objective measurements of respiratory muscle activity in real time, but there are still limitations to its routine application in intensive care unit patients using mechanical ventilation. Like the esophageal balloon, respiratory muscle electromyography and diaphragmatic ultrasound are minimally invasive tools requiring specific training that monitor respiratory muscle activity. Particularly during the coronavirus disease pandemic, non invasive tools available on mechanical ventilators to monitor respiratory drive, inspiratory effort, and work of breathing have been extended to individualize mechanical ventilation based on patient’s needs. This review aims to identify the conceptual definitions of respiratory drive, inspiratory effort, and work of breathing and to identify non invasive maneuvers available on intensive care ventilators to measure these parameters. The literature highlights that although respiratory drive, inspiratory effort, and work of breathing are intuitive concepts, even distinguished authors disagree on their definitions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : To adhere to the Hippocratic Oath, to "first, do no harm", we need to make every effort to minimize the adverse effects of mechanical ventilation. Our understanding of the mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) has increased in recent years. Research focuses now on methods to monitor lung stress and inhomogeneity and targets we should aim for when setting the ventilator. In parallel, efforts to promote early assisted ventilation to prevent VIDD have revealed new challenges, such as titrating inspiratory effort and synchronizing the mechanical with the patients' spontaneous breaths, while at the same time adhering to lung-protective targets. AREAS COVERED This is a narrative review of the key mechanisms contributing to VILI and VIDD and the methods currently available to evaluate and mitigate the risk of lung and diaphragm injury. EXPERT OPINION Implementing lung and diaphragm protective ventilation requires individualizing the ventilator settings, and this can only be accomplished by exploiting in everyday clinical practice the tools available to monitor lung stress and inhomogeneity, inspiratory effort, and patient-ventilator interaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lung- and diaphragm-protective ventilation is a novel concept that aims to limit the detrimental effects of mechanical ventilation on the diaphragm while remaining within limits of lung-protective ventilation. The premise is that low breathing effort under mechanical ventilation causes diaphragm atrophy, whereas excessive breathing effort induces diaphragm and lung injury. In a proof-of-concept study, we aimed to assess whether titration of inspiratory support based on diaphragm effort increases the time that patients have effort in a predefined "diaphragm-protective" range, without compromising lung-protective ventilation. DESIGN Randomized clinical trial. SETTING Mixed medical-surgical ICU in a tertiary academic hospital in the Netherlands. PATIENTS Patients (n = 40) with respiratory failure ventilated in a partially-supported mode. INTERVENTIONS In the intervention group, inspiratory support was titrated hourly to obtain transdiaphragmatic pressure swings in the predefined "diaphragm-protective" range (3-12 cm H2O). The control group received standard-of-care. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Transdiaphragmatic pressure, transpulmonary pressure, and tidal volume were monitored continuously for 24 hours in both groups. In the intervention group, more breaths were within "diaphragm-protective" range compared with the control group (median 81%; interquartile range [64-86%] vs 35% [16-60%], respectively; p < 0.001). Dynamic transpulmonary pressures (20.5 ± 7.1 vs 18.5 ± 7.0 cm H2O; p = 0.321) and tidal volumes (7.56 ± 1.47 vs 7.54 ± 1.22 mL/kg; p = 0.961) were not different in the intervention and control group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Titration of inspiratory support based on patient breathing effort greatly increased the time that patients had diaphragm effort in the predefined "diaphragm-protective" range without compromising tidal volumes and transpulmonary pressures. This study provides a strong rationale for further studies powered on patient-centered outcomes.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation in patients with refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) must provide lung protection. This is achieved by limiting tidal volume (VT) and plateau pressure (Pplat). With the current evidence available VT should be initially set around 6 mL per kg predicted body weight and PPlat maintained below 30 cmH2O and monitored. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), which also contributes to lung protection, should be set > 12 cmH2O, provided oxygenation gets improved, with same Pplat target. Recruitment maneuvers should be used with caution avoiding higher PEEP. Neuromuscular blockade should be started and prone position performed for sessions longer than 16 h. High frequency oscillation ventilation should be used in expert centers only if previous management failed to improve oxygenation.

Abstract
RATIONALE Reverse triggering is a patient-ventilator interaction where a respiratory muscle contraction is triggered by a passive mechanical insufflation. Its impact on diaphragm structure and function is unknown. OBJECTIVE To establish an animal model of reverse triggering with lung injury receiving lung-protective ventilation and to assess its impact on structure and function of the diaphragm. METHODS Lung injury was induced by surfactant depletion and high stress ventilation in 32 ventilated pigs. Animals were allocated to receive passive mechanical ventilation or a lung-protective strategy with adjustments facilitating the occurrence of reverse triggering for 3 hours. Diaphragm function (transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) during phrenic nerve stimulation [Force/frequency curve]) and structure (biopsies) were assessed. The impact of reverse triggering on diaphragm function was analyzed according to the breathing effort. RESULTS Compared to passive ventilation, the protective ventilation group with reverse triggering received significantly lower tidal volume (7 vs 10 ml/kg) and higher respiratory rate (45 vs 31 bpm). An entrainment pattern of 1:1 was frequent. Breathing effort induced by reverse triggering was highly variable across animals. Reverse triggering with the lowest tercile of breathing effort was associated with 23% higher twitch Pdi compared to passive ventilation, whereas reverse triggering with high breathing effort was associated with a 10% lower twitch Pdi and a higher proportion of abnormal muscle fibers. CONCLUSION In a reproducible animal model of reverse triggering with variable levels of breathing effort and entrainment patterns, reverse triggering with high effort is associated with impaired diaphragm function whereas reverse triggering with low effort is associated with preserved diaphragm force.

Abstract
Die Etablierung der unterstützten Spontanatmung gilt allgemein als eine vorteilhafte und wenig gefährdende Phase der Beatmungstherapie. Allerdings geben neuere Erkenntnisse Hinweise auf eine potenzielle Schädigung durch exzessive Spontanatembemühungen vor allem bei akuter Lungenschädigung. Das Syndrom wird unter dem Begriff „patient self-inflicted lung injury“ zusammengefasst. Ärzte, Pflegepersonen und Atmungstherapeuten sollten für diese Thematik sensibilisiert werden. Parameter, die mittels Ösophagusdruckmessung oder einfacher Manöver am Respirator bestimmt werden können, sind bei der Entscheidung zur Durchführung und zur Überwachung von Spontanatmung auch in den akuten Phasen der Lungenschädigung hilfreich. Weiterhin gibt es im Umgang mit hohem Atemantrieb oder erhöhter Atemanstrengung therapeutische Möglichkeiten, diesen zu begegnen.

Abstract
The estimation of pleural pressure with esophageal manometry has been used for decades, and it has been a fertile area of physiology research in healthy subject as well as during mechanical ventilation in patients with lung injury. However, its scarce adoption in clinical practice takes its roots from the (false) ideas that it requires expertise with years of training, that the values obtained are not reliable due to technical challenges or discrepant methods of calculation, and that measurement of esophageal pressure has not proved to benefit patient outcomes. Despites these criticisms, esophageal manometry could contribute to better monitoring, optimization, and personalization of mechanical ventilation from the acute initial phase to the weaning period. This review aims to provide a comprehensive but comprehensible guide addressing the technical aspects of esophageal catheter use, its application in different clinical situations and conditions, and an update on the state of the art with recent studies on this topic and on remaining questions and ways for improvement.

Abstract
Background Patient–ventilator asynchrony is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A direct causative relationship between Patient–ventilator asynchrony and adverse clinical outcome have yet to be demonstrated. It is hypothesized that during trigger errors excessive pleural pressure swings are generated, contributing to increased work-of-breathing and self-inflicted lung injury. The objective of this study was to determine the additional work-of-breathing and pleural pressure swings caused by trigger errors in mechanically ventilated children. Methods Prospective observational study in a tertiary paediatric intensive care unit in an university hospital. Patients ventilated > 24 h and < 18 years old were studied. Patients underwent a 5-min recording of the ventilator flow–time, pressure–time and oesophageal pressure–time scalar. Pressure–time–product calculations were made as a proxy for work-of-breathing. Oesophageal pressure swings, as a surrogate for pleural pressure swings, during trigger errors were determined. Results Nine-hundred-and-fifty-nine trigger errors in 28 patients were identified. The additional work-of-breathing caused by trigger errors showed great variability among patients. The more asynchronous breaths were present the higher the work-of-breathing of these breaths. A higher spontaneous breath rate led to a lower amount of trigger errors. Patient–ventilator asynchrony was not associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation or paediatric intensive care stay. Conclusions The additional work-of-breathing caused by trigger errors in ventilated children can take up to 30–40% of the total work-of-breathing. Trigger errors were less common in patients breathing spontaneously and those able to generate higher pressure–time–product and pressure swings. Trial registration Not applicable.

Abstract
AIM To describe the correlation between the inspiratory esophageal and transdiaphragmatic pressure swings (ΔPes and ΔPdi), easily measured indices of inspiratory effort, with the gold-standard, the transdiaphragmatic pressure time product (PTPPdi/min), and assess the accuracy of swing pressures in predicting very high or low effort. METHOD Retrospective analysis of data from patients enrolled in four previous studies. ROC curves of ΔPes and ΔPdi values for specific PTPPdi/min thresholds (50, 150, 200 cmH2O × sec/min) were constructed, and the diagnostic accuracy of different thresholds of swing values were computed. RESULTS A threshold of inspiratory ΔP<7cmH2O can be used to identify most patients with low effort, as lower ΔP thresholds have low sensitivity. Thresholds of inspiratory ΔP>14-18cmH2O can be used to identify patients with very high inspiratory effort (PTPPdi/min> 200 cmH2O × sec/min). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study can help clinicians better select and interpret thresholds of ΔP to evaluate inspiratory effort.

Abstract
AIM To describe the response of breathing pattern and inspiratory effort upon changes in assist level and to assesss if changes in respiratory rate may indicate changes in respiratory muscle effort. METHODS Prospective study of 82 patients ventilated on proportional assist ventilation (PAV+). At three levels of assist (20 %-50 %-80 %), patients' inspiratory effort and breathing pattern were evaluated using a validated prototype monitor. RESULTS Independent of the assist level, a wide range of respiratory rates (16-35br/min) was observed when patients' effort was within the accepted range. Changing the assist level resulted in paired changes in inspiratory effort and rate of the same tendency (increase or decrease) in all but four patients. Increasing the level in assist resulted in a 31 % (8-44 %) decrease in inspiratory effort and a 10 % (0-18 %) decrease in respiratory rate. The change in respiratory rate upon the change in assist correlated modestly with the change in the effort (R = 0.5). CONCLUSION Changing assist level results in changes in both respiratory rate and effort in the same direction, with change in effort being greater than that of respiratory rate. Yet, neither the magnitude of respiratory rate change nor the resulting absolute value may reliably predict the level of effort after a change in assist.

Oesophageal pressure and respiratory muscle ultrasonographic measurements indicate inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation. Br J Anaesth 2020; 125:e148-e157. [PMID: 32386831 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2020.02.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Revised: 02/03/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bedside measures of patient effort are essential to properly titrate the level of pressure support ventilation. We investigated whether the tidal swing in oesophageal (ΔPes) and transdiaphragmatic pressure (ΔPdi), and ultrasonographic changes in diaphragm (TFdi) and parasternal intercostal (TFic) thickening are reliable estimates of respiratory effort. The effect of diaphragm dysfunction was also considered. METHODS Twenty-one critically ill patients were enrolled: age 73 (14) yr, BMI 27 (7) kg m-2, and Pao2/Fio2 33.3 (9.2) kPa. A three-level pressure support trial was performed: baseline, 25% (PS-medium), and 50% reduction (PS-low). We recorded the oesophageal and transdiaphragmatic pressure-time products (PTPs), work of breathing (WOB), and diaphragm and intercostal ultrasonography. Diaphragm dysfunction was defined by the Gilbert index. RESULTS Pressure support was 9.0 (1.6) cm H2O at baseline, 6.7 (1.3) (PS-medium), and 4.4 (1.0) (PS-low). ΔPes was significantly associated with the oesophageal PTP (R2=0.868; P<0.001) and the WOB (R2=0.683; P<0.001). ΔPdi was significantly associated with the transdiaphragmatic PTP (R2=0.820; P<0.001). TFdi was only weakly correlated with the oesophageal PTP (R2=0.326; P<0.001), and the correlation improved after excluding patients with diaphragm dysfunction (R2=0.887; P<0.001). TFdi was higher and TFic lower in patients without diaphragm dysfunction: 33.6 (18.2)% vs 13.2 (9.2)% and 2.1 (1.7)% vs 12.7 (9.1)%; P<0.0001. CONCLUSIONS ΔPes and ΔPdi are adequate estimates of inspiratory effort. Diaphragm ultrasonography is a reliable indicator of inspiratory effort in the absence of diaphragm dysfunction. Additional measurement of parasternal intercostal thickening may discriminate a low inspiratory effort or a high effort in the presence of a dysfunctional diaphragm.

Abstract
Background A spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) is a major diagnostic tool to predict successfully extubation in patients. Several factors may lead to weaning failure, including the degree of lung aeration loss and diaphragm dysfunction. The main objective was to compare the diaphragmatic contractility between patients with high lung aeration loss and low lung aeration loss during a 30-minute SBT by ultrasound. Methods This was a prospective single-center study. Lung ultrasound aeration score (LUS) and diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) were measured during mechanical ventilation 1 h before SBT (T-1), 30 min (T1), and 120 min (T2) after the start of the SBT during quiet breathing. The right and left DTF were compared between patients with LUS ≥ 14 (high lung aeration loss), considered at high risk of post-extubation distress, and those with LUS < 14 (low lung aeration loss). The relationship between the LUS and DTF and the changes in LUS and DTF from T-1 to T2 in patients with LUS ≥ 14 were assessed. Results Forty-nine patients were analyzed; 33 had LUS ≥ 14 and 16 had LUS < 14 at T1. The DTF at T1 was significantly higher in patients with LUS ≥ 14 than in those with LUS < 14: the right median (IQR) DTF was 22.2% (17.1 to 30.9%) vs. 14.8% (10.2 to 27.0%) (p = 0.035), and the left median (IQR) DTF was 25.0% (18.4 to 35.0%) vs. 18.6% (9.7 to 24.2%) (p = 0.017), respectively. There was a moderate positive correlation between the LUS and the DTF (Rho = 0.3, p = 0.014). A significant increase in the LUS was observed from T-1 to T1, whereas no change was found between T1 and T2. The DTF remained stable from T-1 to T2. Conclusions During a SBT, diaphragmatic contraction acts differently depending on the degree of pulmonary aeration. In patients with high lung aeration loss, increased diaphragmatic contractility indicates an additional respiratory effort to compensate lung volume loss that would contribute to successful SBT. Further studies are needed to evaluate the combined evaluation of lung aeration and diaphragmatic function to predict the successful weaning of patients from mechanical ventilation.

Monitoring patient-ventilator breath contribution in the critically ill during neurally adjusted ventilatory assist: reliability and improved algorithms for bedside use. J Appl Physiol (1985) 2019; 127:264-271. [PMID: 31161879 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00071.2019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The patient-ventilator breath contribution (PVBC) index estimates the relative contribution of the patient to total tidal volume (Vtinsp) during mechanical ventilation in neurally adjusted ventilator assist mode and has been used to titrate ventilator support. The reliability of this index in ventilated patients is unknown and was investigated in this study. PVBC was calculated by comparing tidal volume (Vtinsp) and diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi) during assisted breaths (Vtinsp/EAdi)assist and during unassisted breaths (Vtinsp/EAdi)no-assist. Vtinsp was normalized to peak EAdi (EAdipeak) using 1) one assisted breath, 2) five consecutive assisted breaths, or 3) five assisted breaths with matching EAdi preceding the unassisted breath (N1PVBC2, X5PVBC2, and PX5VBCEAdi-matching2 , respectively). In addition, PVBC was calculated by comparing only Vtinsp for breaths with matching EAdi (PVBCβ2). Test-retest reliability of the different PVBC calculation methods was evaluated with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) using five repeated PVBC maneuvers performed with a 1-min interval. In total, 125 PVBC maneuvers were analyzed in 25 patients. ICC [95% confidence interval] values were 0.46 [0.23-0.66], 0.51 [0.33-0.70], and 0.42 [0.14-0.69] for N1PVBC2, X5PVBC2, PX5VBCEAdi-matching2 , respectively. Complex waveform analyses showed that insufficient EAdi filtering by the ventilator software affects reliability of PVBC calculation. With our new EAdi-matching techniques reliability improved (PVBCβ2 ICC: 0.78 [0.60-0.90]). We conclude that current techniques to calculate PVBC exhibit low reliability and that our newly developed criteria and estimation of PVBC-using Vtinsp of assisted breaths and unassisted breaths with matching EAdi-improves reliability. This may help implementation of PVBC in clinical practice. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The patient-ventilator breath contribution (PVBC) index estimates the relative contribution of the patient to tidal volume generated by the patient and the mechanical ventilator during mechanical ventilation in neurally adjusted ventilator assist mode. It could be used to titrate ventilator support and thus to limit development of diaphragm dysfunction in intensive care unit patients. Currently available methods for bedside assessment of PVBC are unreliable. Our newly developed criteria and estimation of PVBC largely improve reliability and help to quantify patient contribution to total inspiratory effort.
