Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate how the prone position influences mechanical power (MP) during elective surgical procedures. METHODS In this prospective study carried out at Karadeniz Ereğli Government Hospital, Zonguldak, Turkey, from January 2024 to February 2024, 76 patients under general anesthesia were evaluated at different time points during the surgical procedure. Hemodynamic, laboratory, and mechanical ventilation data were also recorded. RESULTS The MP increased in the prone position at the beginning of surgery. Transitioning to the supine position at the end of surgery led to a decrease in MP. At the end of surgery, the mean MP in supine and prone positions was found to be higher compared to those measured in the first hour of surgery. Mechanical power and body mass index (BMI) exhibited a significant positive correlation. CONCLUSION Position changes influence MP. Returning to the prone position increases MP. An increase in BMI is associated with an increase in MP.ANZCTR Reg. No.: ACTRN12623001281684.

Abstract
Introduction During pneumoperitoneum (PNP), airway driving pressure (ΔPRS) increases due to the stiffness of the chest wall and cephalic shift of the diaphragm, which favors atelectasis. In addition, depending on the mechanical power (MP) formulas, they may lead to different interpretations. Methods Patients >18 years of age with body mass index >35 kg/m2 were included in a single-center randomized controlled trial during their admission for bariatric surgery by abdominal laparoscopy. Intra-abdominal pressure was set at 15 mmHg at the pneumoperitoneum time point (PNP). After the recruitment maneuver, the lowest respiratory system elastance (ERS) was detected during the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) step-wise decrement. Patients were randomized to the 1) CTRL group: ventilated with PEEP of 5 cmH2O and 2) PEEPIND group: ventilated with PEEP value associated with ERS that is 5% higher than its lowest level. Respiratory system mechanics and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were assessed at the PNP, 5 min after randomization (T1), and at the end of the ventilation protocol (T2); arterial blood gas was assessed at PNP and T2. ΔPRS was the primary outcome. Three MP formulas were used: MPA, which computes static PEEP × volume, elastic, and resistive components; MPB, which computes only the elastic component; and MPC, which computes static PEEP × volume, elastic, and resistive components without inspiratory holds. Results Twenty-eight patients were assessed for eligibility: eight were not included and 20 patients were randomized and allocated to CTRL and PEEPIND groups (n = 10/group). The PEEPIND ventilator strategy reduced ΔPRS when compared with the CTRL group (PEEPIND, 13 ± 2 cmH2O; CTRL, 22 ± 4 cmH2O; p < 0.001). Oxygenation improved in the PEEPIND group when compared with the CTRL group (p = 0.029), whereas MAP was comparable between the PEEPIND and CTRL groups. At the end of surgery, MPA and MPB were correlated in both the CTRL (rho = 0.71, p = 0.019) and PEEPIND (rho = 0.84, p = 0.020) groups but showed different bias (CTRL, -1.9 J/min; PEEPIND, +10.0 J/min). At the end of the surgery, MPA and MPC were correlated in both the CTRL (rho = 0.71, p = 0.019) and PEEPIND (rho = 0.84, p = 0.020) groups but showed different bias (CTRL, -1.9 J/min; PEEPIND, +10.0 J/min). Conclusion Individualized PEEP was associated with a reduction in ΔPRS and an improvement in oxygenation with comparable MAP. The MP, which solely computes the elastic component, better reflected the improvement in ΔPRS observed in the individualized PEEP group. Clinical Trial Registration The protocol was registered at the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (U1111-1220-7296).

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving therapy in several clinical situations, promoting gas exchange and providing rest to the respiratory muscles. However, mechanical ventilation may cause hemodynamic instability and pulmonary structural damage, which is known as ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The four main injury mechanisms associated with VILI are as follows: barotrauma/volutrauma caused by overstretching the lung tissues; atelectrauma, caused by repeated opening and closing of the alveoli resulting in shear stress; and biotrauma, the resulting biological response to tissue damage, which leads to lung and multi-organ failure. This narrative review elucidates the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis, progression, and resolution of VILI and discusses the strategies that can mitigate VILI. Different static variables (peak, plateau, and driving pressures, positive end-expiratory pressure, and tidal volume) and dynamic variables (respiratory rate, airflow amplitude, and inspiratory time fraction) can contribute to VILI. Moreover, the potential for lung injury depends on tissue vulnerability, mechanical power (energy applied per unit of time), and the duration of that exposure. According to the current evidence based on models of acute respiratory distress syndrome and VILI, the following strategies are proposed to provide lung protection: keep the lungs partially collapsed (SaO2 > 88%), avoid opening and closing of collapsed alveoli, and gently ventilate aerated regions while keeping collapsed and consolidated areas at rest. Additional mechanisms, such as subject-ventilator asynchrony, cumulative power, and intensity, as well as the damaging threshold (stress-strain level at which tidal damage is initiated), are under experimental investigation and may enhance the understanding of VILI.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) provides basic organ support for patients who have acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, with acute respiratory distress syndrome as the most severe form. The use of excessive ventilation forces can exacerbate the lung condition and lead to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI); mechanical energy (ME) or power can characterize such forces applied during MV. The ME metric combines all MV parameters affecting the respiratory system (ie, lungs, chest, and airways) into a single value. Besides evaluating the overall ME, this parameter can be also related to patient-specific characteristics, such as lung compliance or patient weight, which can further improve the value of ME for characterizing the aggressiveness of lung ventilation. High ME is associated with poor outcomes and could be used as a prognostic parameter and indicator of the risk of VILI. ME is rarely determined in everyday practice because the calculations are complicated and based on multiple equations. Although low ME does not conclusively prevent the possibility of VILI (eg, due to the lung inhomogeneity and preexisting damage), individualization of MV settings considering ME appears to improve outcomes. This article aims to review the roles of bedside assessment of mechanical power, its relevance in mechanical ventilation, and its associations with treatment outcomes. In addition, we discuss methods for ME determination, aiming to propose the most suitable method for bedside application of the ME concept in everyday practice.

Mechanical power of ventilation and driving pressure: two undervalued parameters for pre extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ventilation and during daily management? Crit Care 2023; 27:111.

Abstract
The current ARDS guidelines highly recommend lung protective ventilation which include plateau pressure (Pplat < 30 cm H2O), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP > 5 cm H2O) and tidal volume (Vt of 6 ml/kg) of predicted body weight. In contrast, the ELSO guidelines suggest the evaluation of an indication of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to hypoxemic or hypercapnic respiratory failure or as bridge to lung transplantation. Finally, these recommendations remain a wide range of scope of interpretation. However, particularly patients with moderate-severe to severe ARDS might benefit from strict adherence to lung protective ventilation strategies. Subsequently, we discuss whether extended physiological ventilation parameter analysis might be relevant for indication of ECMO support and can be implemented during the daily routine evaluation of ARDS patients. Particularly, this viewpoint focus on driving pressure and mechanical power.

Effect of mechanical power on mortality in invasively ventilated ICU patients without the acute respiratory distress syndrome: An analysis of three randomised clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanical power of ventilation (MP) has an association with outcome in invasively ventilated patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Whether a similar association exists in invasively ventilated patients without ARDS is less certain. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of mechanical power with mortality in ICU patients without ARDS. DESIGN This was an individual patient data analysis that uses the data of three multicentre randomised trials. SETTING This study was performed in academic and nonacademic ICUs in the Netherlands. PATIENTS One thousand nine hundred and sixty-two invasively ventilated patients without ARDS were included in this analysis. The median [IQR] age was 67 [57 to 75] years, 706 (36%) were women. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the all-cause mortality at day 28. Secondary outcomes were the all-cause mortality at day 90, and length of stay in ICU and hospital. RESULTS At day 28, 644 patients (33%) had died. Hazard ratios for mortality at day 28 were higher with an increasing MP, even when stratified for its individual components (driving pressure ( P < 0.001), tidal volume ( P < 0.001), respiratory rate ( P < 0.001) and maximum airway pressure ( P = 0.001). Similar associations of mechanical power (MP) were found with mortality at day 90, lengths of stay in ICU and hospital. Hazard ratios for mortality at day 28 were not significantly different if patients were stratified for MP, with increasing levels of each individual component. CONCLUSION In ICU patients receiving invasive ventilation for reasons other than ARDS, MP had an independent association with mortality. This finding suggests that MP holds an added predictive value over its individual components, making MP an attractive measure to monitor and possibly target in these patients.

Accuracy of calculating mechanical power of ventilation by one commonly used equation. J Clin Monit Comput 2022; 36:1753-1759.

Abstract
Gattinoni's equation, [Formula: see text], now commonly used to calculate the mechanical power (MP) of ventilation. However, it calculates only inspiratory MP. In addition, the inclusion of PEEP in Gattinoni's equation raises debate because PEEP does not produce net displacement or contribute to MP. Measuring the area within the pressure-volume loop accurately reflects the MP received in a whole ventilation cycle and the MP thus obtained is not influenced by PEEP. The MP of 25 invasively ventilated patients were calculated by Gattinoni's equation and measured by integration of the areas within the pressure-volume loops of the ventilation cycles. The MP obtained from both methods were compared. The effects of PEEPs on MP were also evaluated. We found that the MP obtained from both methods were correlated by R2 = 0.75 and 0.66 at PEEP 5 and 10 cmH2O, respectively. The biases of the two methods were 3.13 (2.03 to 4.23) J/min (P < 0.0001) and - 1.23 (- 2.22 to - 0.24) J/min (P = 0.02) at PEEP 5 and 10 cmH2O, respectively. These P values suggested that both methods were significantly incongruent. When the tidal volume used was 6 ml/Kg, the MP by Gattinoni's equation at PEEP 5 and 10 cmH2O were significantly different (4.51 vs 7.21 J/min, P < 0.001), but the MP by PV loop area was not influenced by PEEPs (6.46 vs 6.47 J/min, P = 0.331). Similar results were observed across all tidal volumes. We conclude that the Gattinoni's equation is not accurate in calculating the MP of a whole ventilatory cycle and is significantly influenced by PEEP, which theoretically does not contribute to MP.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined the incidence of hypercapnia and associations with outcome in invasively ventilated COVID-19 patients. METHODS Posthoc analysis of a national, multicenter, observational study in 22 ICUs. Patients were classified as 'hypercapnic' or 'normocapnic' in the first three days of invasive ventilation. Primary endpoint was prevalence of hypercapnia. Secondary endpoints were ventilator parameters, length of stay (LOS) in ICU and hospital, and mortality in ICU, hospital, at day 28 and 90. RESULTS Of 824 patients, 485 (58.9%) were hypercapnic. Hypercapnic patients had a higher BMI and had COPD, severe ARDS and venous thromboembolic events more often. Hypercapnic patients were ventilated with lower tidal volumes, higher respiratory rates, higher driving pressures, and with more mechanical power of ventilation. Hypercapnic patients had comparable minute volumes but higher ventilatory ratios than normocapnic patients. In hypercapnic patients, ventilation and LOS in ICU and hospital was longer, but mortality was comparable to normocapnic patients. CONCLUSION Hypercapnia occurs often in invasively ventilated COVID-19 patients. Main differences between hypercapnic and normocapnic patients are severity of ARDS, occurrence of venous thromboembolic events, and a higher ventilation ratio. Hypercapnia has an association with duration of ventilation and LOS in ICU and hospital, but not with mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of mechanical power and its components on mechanical ventilation for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2; identify the values of the mechanical ventilation components and verify their correlations with each other and with the mechanical power and effects on the result of the Gattinoni-S and Giosa formulas. METHODS This was an observational, longitudinal, analytical and quantitative study of respirator and mechanical power parameters in patients with SARS-CoV-2. RESULTS The mean mechanical power was 26.9J/minute (Gattinoni-S) and 30.3 J/minute (Giosa). The driving pressure was 14.4cmH2O, the plateau pressure was 26.5cmH2O, the positive end-expiratory pressure was 12.1cmH2O, the elastance was 40.6cmH2O/L, the tidal volume was 0.36L, and the respiratory rate was 32 breaths/minute. The correlation between the Gattinoni and Giosa formulas was 0.98, with a bias of -3.4J/minute and a difference in the correlation of the resistance pressure of 0.39 (Gattinoni) and 0.24 (Giosa). Among the components, the correlations between elastance and driving pressure (0.88), positive end-expiratory pressure (-0.54) and tidal volume (-0.44) stood out. CONCLUSION In the analysis of mechanical ventilation for patients with SARS-CoV-2, it was found that the correlations of its components with mechanical power influenced its high momentary values and and that the correlations of its components with each other influenced their behavior throughout the study period. Because they have specific effects on the Gatinnoni-S and Giosa formulas, the mechanical ventilation components influenced their calculations and caused divergence in the mechanical power values.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) requires repetitive transfer of energy from the ventilator to the compromised lung. To understand this phenomenon, 2 sets of equations have been developed to partition total inflation energy into harmless and hazardous components using an arbitrary level of alveolar pressure as a threshold beyond which further energy increments may become damaging. One set of equations uses premeasured resistance and compliance as inputs to predict the energy that would be delivered by typical ventilator settings, whereas the other equation set uses observed output values for end-inspiratory peak and plateau pressure of an already completed inflation. METHODS Our aim for this study was to compare the relative accuracy of these equation sets against the performance of a physical one-compartment model of the respiratory system, programmed with information readily available at the bedside and ventilated using both constant and decelerating flow profiles. Accordingly, equations of each set were compared against the corresponding energy areas measured by digital planimetry of pressure-volume curves for 76 ventilator and patient parameter combinations and over 500 power calculations. RESULTS With few exceptions, all equations strongly correlated with their corresponding measurements by planimetry. CONCLUSIONS This validation of threshold-partitioned energy equations suggests their potential utility for implementing practical strategies for VILI avoidance.

BACKGROUND Studies in critically ill patients suggest a relationship between mechanical power (an index of the energy delivered by the ventilator, which includes driving pressure, respiratory rate, tidal volume and inspiratory pressure) and complications. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the association between intra-operative mechanical power and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). DESIGN Post hoc analysis of a large randomised clinical trial. SETTING University-affiliated academic tertiary hospital in Melbourne, Australia, from February 2015 to February 2019. PATIENTS Adult patients undergoing major noncardiothoracic, nonintracranial surgery. INTERVENTION Dynamic mechanical power was calculated using the power equation adjusted by the respiratory system compliance (CRS). Multivariable models were used to assess the independent association between mechanical power and outcomes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the incidence of PPCs within the first seven postoperative days. The secondary outcome was the incidence of acute respiratory failure. RESULTS We studied 1156 patients (median age [IQR]: 64 [55 to 72] years, 59.5% men). Median mechanical power adjusted by CRS was 0.32 [0.22 to 0.51] (J min-1)/(ml cmH2O-1). A higher mechanical power was also independently associated with increased risk of PPCs [odds ratio (OR 1.34, 95% CI, 1.17 to 1.52); P < 0.001) and acute respiratory failure (OR 1.40, 95% CI, 1.21 to 1.61; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In patients receiving ventilation during major noncardiothoracic, nonintracranial surgery, exposure to a higher mechanical power was independently associated with an increased risk of PPCs and acute respiratory failure.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. IMPORTANCE: Mechanical power and driving pressure have known associations with survival for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. OBJECTIVES: To further understand the relative importance of mechanical power and driving pressure as clinical targets for ventilator management. DESIGN: Secondary observational analysis of randomized clinical trial data. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome from three Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network trials. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: After adjusting for patient severity in a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, we examined the relative association of driving pressure and mechanical power with hospital mortality. Among 2,410 patients, the relationship between driving pressure and mechanical power with mortality was modified by respiratory rate, positive end-expiratory pressure, and flow. RESULTS: Among patients with low respiratory rate (< 26), only power was significantly associated with mortality (power [hazard ratio, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.41–2.35; p < 0.001] vs driving pressure [hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.84–1.21; p = 0.95]), while among patients with high respiratory rate, neither was associated with mortality. Both power and driving pressure were associated with mortality at high airway flow (power [hazard ratio, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.15–1.43; p < 0.001] vs driving pressure [hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.01–1.30; p = 0.041]) and neither at low flow. At low positive end-expiratory pressure, neither was associated with mortality, whereas at high positive end-expiratory pressure (≥ 10 cm H2O), only power was significantly associated with mortality (power [hazard ratio, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.09–1.37; p < 0.001] vs driving pressure [hazard ratio, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.99–1.35; p = 0.059]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The relationship between mechanical power and driving pressure with mortality differed within severity subgroups defined by positive end-expiratory pressure, respiratory rate, and airway flow.

Association of Time-Varying Intensity of Ventilation With Mortality in Patients With COVID-19 ARDS: Secondary Analysis of the PRoVENT-COVID Study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:725265. [PMID: 34869421 PMCID: PMC8637438 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.725265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: High intensity of ventilation has an association with mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure. It is uncertain whether similar associations exist in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We investigated the association of exposure to different levels of driving pressure (ΔP) and mechanical power (MP) with mortality in these patients. Methods: PRoVENT-COVID is a national, retrospective observational study, performed at 22 ICUs in the Netherlands, including COVID-19 patients under invasive ventilation for ARDS. Dynamic ΔP and MP were calculated at fixed time points during the first 4 calendar days of ventilation. The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality. To assess the effects of time-varying exposure, Bayesian joint models adjusted for confounders were used. Results: Of 1,122 patients included in the PRoVENT-COVID study, 734 were eligible for this analysis. In the first 28 days, 29.2% of patients died. A significant increase in the hazard of death was found to be associated with each increment in ΔP (HR 1.04, 95% CrI 1.01-1.07) and in MP (HR 1.12, 95% CrI 1.01-1.36). In sensitivity analyses, cumulative exposure to higher levels of ΔP or MP resulted in increased risks for 28-day mortality. Conclusion: Cumulative exposure to higher intensities of ventilation in COVID-19 patients with ARDS have an association with increased risk of 28-day mortality. Limiting exposure to high ΔP or MP has the potential to improve survival in these patients. Clinical Trial Registration: www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT04346342.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is a potentially life-saving therapy for patients with acute lung injury, but the ventilator itself may cause lung injury. Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is sometimes an unfortunate consequence of mechanical ventilation. It is not clear however how best to minimize VILI through adjustment of various parameters including tidal volume, plateau pressure, driving pressure, and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). No single parameter provides a clear indication for onset of lung injury attributable exclusively to the ventilator. There is currently interest in quantifying how static and dynamic parameters contribute to VILI. One concept that has emerged is the consideration of the amount of energy transferred from the ventilator to the respiratory system per unit time, which can be quantified as mechanical power. This review article reports on recent literature in this emerging field and future roles for mechanical power assessments in prospective studies.

Association of intensity of ventilation with 28-day mortality in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure: insights from the PRoVENT-COVID study. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2021; 25:283.

Abstract
Background The intensity of ventilation, reflected by driving pressure (ΔP) and mechanical power (MP), has an association with outcome in invasively ventilated patients with or without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is uncertain if a similar association exists in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acute respiratory failure. Methods We aimed to investigate the impact of intensity of ventilation on patient outcome. The PRoVENT-COVID study is a national multicenter observational study in COVID-19 patients receiving invasive ventilation. Ventilator parameters were collected a fixed time points on the first calendar day of invasive ventilation. Mean dynamic ΔP and MP were calculated for individual patients at time points without evidence of spontaneous breathing. A Cox proportional hazard model, and a double stratification analysis adjusted for confounders were used to estimate the independent associations of ΔP and MP with outcome. The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality. Results In 825 patients included in this analysis, 28-day mortality was 27.5%. ΔP was not independently associated with mortality (HR 1.02 [95% confidence interval 0.88–1.18]; P = 0.750). MP, however, was independently associated with 28-day mortality (HR 1.17 [95% CI 1.01–1.36]; P = 0.031), and increasing quartiles of MP, stratified on comparable levels of ΔP, had higher risks of 28-day mortality (HR 1.15 [95% CI 1.01–1.30]; P = 0.028). Conclusions In this cohort of critically ill invasively ventilated COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure, we show an independent association of MP, but not ΔP with 28-day mortality. MP could serve as one prognostic biomarker in addition to ΔP in these patients. Efforts aiming at limiting both ΔP and MP could translate in a better outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation injures lungs, but there are currently no reliable methods for detecting early injury. We therefore evaluated whether exhaled pentanal, a lipid peroxidation product, might be a useful breath biomarker for stretch-induced lung injury in rats. METHODS A total of 150 male Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated in 2 substudies. The first randomly assigned 75 rats to 7 hours of mechanical ventilation at tidal volumes of 6, 8, 12, 16, and 20 mL·kg-1. The second included 75 rats. A reference group was ventilated at a tidal volume of 6 mL·kg-1 for 10 hours 4 interventional groups were ventilated at a tidal volume of 6 mL·kg-1 for 1 hour, and then for 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 hours at a tidal volume of 16 mL.kg-1 before returning to a tidal volume of 6 mL·kg-1 for additional 6 hours. Exhaled pentanal was monitored by multicapillary column-ion mobility spectrometry. The first substudy included cytokine and leukocyte measurements in blood and bronchoalveolar fluid, histological assessment of the proportion of alveolar space, and measurements of myeloperoxidase activity in lung tissue. The second substudy included measurements of pentanal in arterial blood plasma, cytokine and leukocyte concentrations in bronchoalveolar fluid, and cleaved caspase 3 in lung tissue. RESULTS Exhaled pentanal concentrations increased by only 0.5 ppb·h-1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.3-0.6) when rats were ventilated at 6 mL·kg-1. In contrast, exhaled pentanal concentrations increased substantially and roughly linearly at higher tidal volumes, up to 3.1 ppb·h-1 (95% CI, 2.3-3.8) at tidal volumes of 20 mL·kg-1. Exhaled pentanal increased at average rates between 1.0 ppb·h-1 (95% CI, 0.3-1.7) and 2.5 ppb·h-1 (95% CI, 1.4-3.6) after the onset of 16 mL·kg-1 tidal volumes and decreased rapidly by a median of 2 ppb (interquartile range [IQR], 0.9-3.2), corresponding to a 38% (IQR, 31-43) reduction when tidal volume returned to 6 mL·kg-1. Tidal volume, inspiratory pressure, and mechanical power were positively associated with pentanal exhalation. Exhaled and plasma pentanal were uncorrelated. Alveolar space decreased and inflammatory markers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid increased in animals ventilated at high tidal volumes. Short, intermittent ventilation at high tidal volumes for up to 3 hours increased neither inflammatory markers in bronchoalveolar fluid nor the proportion of cleaved caspase 3 in lung tissue. CONCLUSIONS Exhaled pentanal is a potential biomarker for early detection of ventilator-induced lung injury in rats.

Abstract
A personalized mechanical ventilation approach for patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) based on lung physiology and morphology, ARDS etiology, lung imaging, and biological phenotypes may improve ventilation practice and outcome. However, additional research is warranted before personalized mechanical ventilation strategies can be applied at the bedside. Ventilatory parameters should be titrated based on close monitoring of targeted physiologic variables and individualized goals. Although low tidal volume (VT) is a standard of care, further individualization of VT may necessitate the evaluation of lung volume reserve (e.g., inspiratory capacity). Low driving pressures provide a target for clinicians to adjust VT and possibly to optimize positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), while maintaining plateau pressures below safety thresholds. Esophageal pressure monitoring allows estimation of transpulmonary pressure, but its use requires technical skill and correct physiologic interpretation for clinical application at the bedside. Mechanical power considers ventilatory parameters as a whole in the optimization of ventilation setting, but further studies are necessary to assess its clinical relevance. The identification of recruitability in patients with ARDS is essential to titrate and individualize PEEP. To define gas-exchange targets for individual patients, clinicians should consider issues related to oxygen transport and dead space. In this review, we discuss the rationale for personalized approaches to mechanical ventilation for patients with ARDS, the role of lung imaging, phenotype identification, physiologically based individualized approaches to ventilation, and a future research agenda.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether individualized optimization of mechanical ventilation through the implementation of a lung rescue team could reduce the need for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with obesity and acute respiratory distress syndrome and decrease ICU and hospital length of stay and mortality. DESIGN: Single-center, retrospective study at the Massachusetts General Hospital from June 2015 to June 2019. PATIENTS: All patients with obesity and acute respiratory distress syndrome who were referred for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation evaluation due to hypoxemic respiratory failure. INTERVENTION: Evaluation and individualized optimization of mechanical ventilation by the lung rescue team before the decision to proceed with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The control group was those patients managed according to hospital standard of care without lung rescue team evaluation. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS: All 20 patients (100%) allocated in the control group received venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, whereas 10 of 13 patients (77%) evaluated by the lung rescue team did not receive venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Patients who underwent lung rescue team evaluation had a shorter duration of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.03) and shorter ICU length of stay (p = 0.03). There were no differences between groups in in-hospital, 30-day, or 1–year mortality. CONCLUSIONS: In this hypothesis-generating study, individualized optimization of mechanical ventilation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and obesity by a lung rescue team was associated with a decrease in the utilization of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, duration of mechanical ventilation, and ICU length of stay. Mortality was not modified by the lung rescue team intervention.

Utility of Driving Pressure and Mechanical Power to Guide Protective Ventilator Settings in Two Cohorts of Adult and Pediatric Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Computational Investigation. Crit Care Med 2021; 48:1001-1008.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mechanical power and driving pressure have been proposed as indicators, and possibly drivers, of ventilator-induced lung injury. We tested the utility of these different measures as targets to derive maximally protective ventilator settings. DESIGN A high-fidelity computational simulator was matched to individual patient data and used to identify strategies that minimize driving pressure, mechanical power, and a modified mechanical power that removes the direct linear, positive dependence between mechanical power and positive end-expiratory pressure. SETTING Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Systems Medicine Research Network. SUBJECTS Data were collected from a prospective observational cohort of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (n = 77) and from the low tidal volume arm of the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network tidal volume trial (n = 100). INTERVENTIONS Global optimization algorithms evaluated more than 26.7 million changes to ventilator settings (approximately 150,000 per patient) to identify strategies that minimize driving pressure, mechanical power, or modified mechanical power. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Large average reductions in driving pressure (pediatric: 23%, adult: 23%), mechanical power (pediatric: 44%, adult: 66%), and modified mechanical power (pediatric: 61%, adult: 67%) were achievable in both cohorts when oxygenation and ventilation were allowed to vary within prespecified ranges. Reductions in driving pressure (pediatric: 12%, adult: 2%), mechanical power (pediatric: 24%, adult: 46%), and modified mechanical power (pediatric: 44%, adult: 46%) were achievable even when no deterioration in gas exchange was allowed. Minimization of mechanical power and modified mechanical power was achieved by increasing tidal volume and decreasing respiratory rate. In the pediatric cohort, minimum driving pressure was achieved by reducing tidal volume and increasing respiratory rate and positive end-expiratory pressure. The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network dataset had limited scope for further reducing tidal volume, but driving pressure was still significantly reduced by increasing positive end-expiratory pressure. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis identified different strategies that minimized driving pressure or mechanical power consistently across pediatric and adult datasets. Minimizing standard and alternative formulations of mechanical power led to significant increases in tidal volume. Targeting driving pressure for minimization resulted in ventilator settings that also reduced mechanical power and modified mechanical power, but not vice versa.

Abstract
Mechanical power of ventilation, currently defined as the energy delivered from the ventilator to the respiratory system over a period of time, has been recognized as a promising indicator to evaluate ventilator-induced lung injury and predict the prognosis of ventilated critically ill patients. Mechanical power can be accurately measured by the geometric method, while simplified equations allow an easy estimation of mechanical power at the bedside. There may exist a safety threshold of mechanical power above which lung injury is inevitable, and the assessment of mechanical power might be helpful to determine whether the extracorporeal respiratory support is needed in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. It should be noted that relatively low mechanical power does not exclude the possibility of lung injury. Lung size and inhomogeneity should also be taken into consideration. Problems regarding the safety limits of mechanical power and contribution of each component to lung injury have not been determined yet. Whether mechanical power-directed lung-protective ventilation strategy could improve clinical outcomes also needs further investigation. Therefore, this review discusses the algorithms, clinical relevance, optimization, and future directions of mechanical power in critically ill patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Extracorporeal support allows ultraprotective controlled and assisted ventilation, which can prevent lung and diaphragm injury. We focused on most recent findings in the application of extracorporeal support to achieve lung protection and diaphragm- protection, as well as on relevant monitoring. RECENT FINDINGS A recent randomized trial comparing the efficacy of extracorporeal support as a rescue therapy to conventional protective mechanical ventilation was stopped for futility but post hoc analyses suggested that extracorporeal support is beneficial for patients with very severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, the optimal ventilation settings during extracorporeal support are still debated. It is conceivable that they should enable the highest amount of CO2 removal with lowest mechanical power.Extracorporeal CO2 removal can minimize acidosis and enable the use of ultra-protective lung ventilation strategies when hypoxemia is not a major issue. Moreover, it can protect lung and diaphragm function during assisted ventilation through control of the respiratory effort.Lung mechanics, gas exchange, diaphragm electrical activity, ultrasound, electrical impedance tomography could be integrated into clinical management to define lung and diaphragm protection and guide personalized ventilation settings. SUMMARY Technological improvement and the latest evidence indicate that extracorporeal support may be an effective tool for lung and diaphragm protection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Different techniques exist to select personalized positive end-expiratory pressure in patients affected by the acute respiratory distress syndrome. The positive end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure strategy aims to counteract dorsal lung collapse, whereas electrical impedance tomography could guide positive end-expiratory pressure selection based on optimal homogeneity of ventilation distribution. We compared the physiologic effects of positive end-expiratory pressure guided by electrical impedance tomography versus transpulmonary pressure in patients affected by acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN Cross-over prospective physiologic study. SETTING Two academic ICUs. PATIENTS Twenty ICU patients affected by acute respiratory distress syndrome undergoing mechanical ventilation. INTERVENTION Patients monitored by an esophageal catheter and a 32-electrode electrical impedance tomography monitor underwent two positive end-expiratory pressure titration trials by randomized cross-over design to find the level of positive end-expiratory pressure associated with: 1) positive end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure (PEEPPL) and 2) proportion of poorly or nonventilated lung units (Silent Spaces) less than or equal to 15% (PEEPEIT). Each positive end-expiratory pressure level was maintained for 20 minutes, and afterward, lung mechanics, gas exchange, and electrical impedance tomography data were collected. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS PEEPEIT and PEEPPL differed in all patients, and there was no correlation between the levels identified by the two methods (Rs = 0.25; p = 0.29). PEEPEIT determined a more homogeneous distribution of ventilation with a lower percentage of dependent Silent Spaces (p = 0.02), whereas PEEPPL was characterized by lower airway-but not transpulmonary-driving pressure (p = 0.04). PEEPEIT was significantly higher than PEEPPL in subjects with extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome (p = 0.006), whereas the opposite was true for pulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Personalized positive end-expiratory pressure levels selected by electrical impedance tomography- and transpulmonary pressure-based methods are not correlated at the individual patient level. PEEPPL is associated with lower dynamic stress, whereas PEEPEIT may help to optimize lung recruitment and homogeneity of ventilation. The underlying etiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome could deeply influence results from each method.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation is associated with the risk of ventilator induced lung injury. For reducing lung injury in mechanically ventilated patients, the application of small tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressures has become clinical standard. Recently, an approach based on linear airway pressure decline and decelerated expiratory flow during expiration implied lung protective capacities. We assumed that ventilation with a smoothed, i.e. sinusoidal airway pressure profile may further improve ventilation efficiency and lung protection. We compared the effects of mechanical ventilation with sinusoidal airway pressure profile (SINE) regarding gas exchange, respiratory system compliance and histology to conventional volume and pressure controlled ventilation (VCV and PCV) and to VCV with flow-controlled expiration (FLEX) in two rat models of lung injury, tween induced surfactant depletion and high tidal volume mechanical ventilation. In both lung injury models ventilation with SINE showed more efficient CO2 elimination and blood oxygenation, improved respiratory system compliance and resulted in lower alveolar wall thickness, compared to VCV, PCV and FLEX. Optimization of the airway pressure profile may provide a novel means of lung protective mechanical ventilation.
