Abstract
Background and Objectives: Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are common concerns in intensive care unit patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Although both conditions lead to impairment of global respiratory parameters, their underlying mechanisms differ substantially. Therefore, a separate assessment of the different respiratory compartments should reveal differences in respiratory mechanics. Materials and Methods: We prospectively investigated alterations in lung and chest wall mechanics in 18 mechanically ventilated pigs exposed to varying levels of intra-abdominal pressures (IAP) and ARDS. The animals were divided into three groups: group A (IAP 10 mmHg, no ARDS), B (IAP 20 mmHg, no ARDS), and C (IAP 10 mmHg, with ARDS). Following induction of IAP (by inflating an intra-abdominal balloon) and ARDS (by saline lung lavage and injurious ventilation), respiratory mechanics were monitored for six hours. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA to compare the alterations within each group. Results: After six hours of ventilation, end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) decreased across all groups, while airway and thoracic pressures increased. Significant differences were noted between group (B) and (C) regarding alterations in transpulmonary pressure (TPP) (2.7 ± 0.6 vs. 11.3 ± 2.1 cmH2O, p < 0.001), elastance of the lung (EL) (8.9 ± 1.9 vs. 29.9 ± 5.9 cmH2O/mL, p = 0.003), and elastance of the chest wall (ECW) (32.8 ± 3.2 vs. 4.4 ± 1.8 cmH2O/mL, p < 0.001). However, global respiratory parameters such as EELV/kg bodyweight (-6.1 ± 1.3 vs. -11.0 ± 2.5 mL/kg), driving pressure (12.5 ± 0.9 vs. 13.2 ± 2.3 cmH2O), and compliance of the respiratory system (-21.7 ± 2.8 vs. -19.5 ± 3.4 mL/cmH2O) did not show significant differences among the groups. Conclusions: Separate measurements of lung and chest wall mechanics in pigs with IAH or ARDS reveals significant differences in TPP, EL, and ECW, whereas global respiratory parameters do not differ significantly. Therefore, assessing the compartments of the respiratory system separately could aid in identifying the underlying cause of ARF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) during a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) in patients who were tracheostomized and on prolonged mechanical ventilation is unclear. This study aimed to assess EELV during a 60-min SBT and its correlation with weaning success. METHODS Enrolled subjects admitted to a weaning unit were measured for EELV and relevant parameters before and after the SBT. RESULTS Of the 44 enrolled subjects, 29 (66%) were successfully liberated, defined as not needing mechanical ventilation for 5 d. The success group had fewer subjects with chronic kidney disease (41% vs 73%, P = .044), stronger mean ± SD maximum inspiratory pressure (41.6 ± 10.4 vs 34.1 ± 7.1 cm H2O; P = .02) and mean ± SD maximum expiratory pressure (46.9 ± 11.7 vs 35.3 ± 16.9 cm H2O; P = .01) versus the failure group. Toward the end of the SBT, the success group had a significant increase in the mean ± SD EELV (before vs after: 1,278 ± 744 vs 1,493 ± 867 mL; P = .040) and a decrease in the mean ± SD rapid shallow breathing index (83.8 ± 39.4 vs 66.3 ± 29.4; P = .02), whereas there were no significant changes in these 2 parameters in the failure group. The Cox regression analysis showed that, at the beginning of SBT, a greater difference between EELV with a PEEP of 0 cm H2O and with a PEEP of 5 cm H2O was significantly correlated to a higher likelihood of weaning success. Toward the end of the SBT, a greater EELV level at a PEEP of 0 cm H2O was also correlated with weaning success. Also, the greater difference of EELV at a PEEP of 0 cm H2O between the beginning and the end of the SBT was also correlated with a shorter duration to weaning success. CONCLUSIONS The change in EELV during a 60-min SBT may be of prognostic value for liberation from prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients who had a tracheostomy. Our findings suggest a model to understand the underlying mechanism of failure of liberation from mechanical ventilation in these patients.

Abstract
While plateau airway pressure alone is an unreliable estimate of lung overdistension inspiratory transpulmonary pressure (PL) is an important parameter to reflect it in patients with ARDS and there is no concensus about which computation method should be used to calculate it. Recent studies suggest that different formulas may lead to different tidal volume and PEEP settings. The aim of this study is to compare 3 different inspiratory PL measurement method; direct measurement (PLD), elastance derived (PLE) and release derived (PLR) methods in patients with multiple mechanical abnormalities. 34 patients were included in this prospective observational study. Measurements were obtained during volume controlled mechanical ventilation in sedated and paralyzed patients. During the study day airway and eosephageal pressures, flow, tidal volume were measured and elastance, inspiratory PLE, PLD and PLR were calculated. Mean age of the patients was 67 ± 15 years and APACHE II score was 27 ± 7. Most frequent diagnosis of the patients were pneumonia (71%), COPD exacerbation(56%), pleural effusion (55%) and heart failure(50%). Mean plateau pressure of the patients was 22 ± 5 cmH2O and mean respiratory system elastance was 36.7 ± 13 cmH2O/L. EL/ERS% was 0.75 ± 0.35%. Mean expiratory transpulmonary pressure was 0.54 ± 7.7 cmH2O (min: − 21, max: 12). Mean PLE (18 ± 9 H2O) was significantly higher than PLD (13 ± 9 cmH2O) and PLR methods (11 ± 9 cmH2O). There was a good aggreement and there was no bias between the measurements in Bland–Altman analysis. The estimated bias was similar between the PLD and PLE (− 3.12 ± 11 cmH2O) and PLE and PLR (3.9 ± 10.9 cmH2O) measurements. Our results suggest that standardization of calculation method of inspiratory PL is necessary before using it routinely to estimate alveolar overdistension.
