Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19. Methods: Two FiO2 (100%, 40%) were tested at 3 decreasing levels of PEEP (15, 10, and 5 cmH2O). At each FiO2 and PEEP, gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, and the distribution of ventilation and perfusion were assessed with electrical impedance tomography. The impact of FiO2 on the intrapulmonary shunt (delta shunt) was analyzed as the difference between the calculated shunt at FiO2 100% (shunt) and venous admixture at FiO2 40% (venous admixture). Results: Fourteen patients were studied. Decreasing PEEP from 15 to 10 cmH2O did not change shunt (24 [21-28] vs 27 [24-29]%) or venous admixture (18 [15-26] vs 23 [18-34]%) while partial pressure of arterial oxygen (FiO2 100%) was higher at PEEP 15 (262 [198-338] vs 256 [147-315] mmHg; P < .05). Instead when PEEP was decreased from 10 to 5 cmH2O, shunt increased to 36 [30-39]% (P < .05) and venous admixture increased to 33 [30-43]% (P < .05) and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (100%) decreased to 109 [76-177] mmHg (P < .05). At PEEP 15, administration of 100% FiO2 resulted in a shunt greater than venous admixture at 40% FiO2, ((24 [21-28] vs 18 [15-26]%, P = .005), delta shunt 5.5% (2.3-8.8)). Compared to PEEP 10, PEEP of 5 and 15 cmH2O resulted in decreased global and pixel-level compliance. Cardiac output at FiO2 100% resulted higher at PEEP 5 (5.4 [4.4-6.5]) compared to PEEP 10 (4.8 [4.1-5.5], P < .05) and PEEP 15 cmH2O (4.7 [4.5-5.4], P < .05). Conclusion: In this study, PEEP of 15 cmH2O, despite resulting in the highest oxygenation, was associated with overdistension. PEEP of 5 cmH2O was associated with increased shunt and alveolar collapse. Administration of 100% FiO2 was associated with an increase in intrapulmonary shunt in the setting of high PEEP. Trial registration: NCT05132933.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of lung ultrasound and diaphragm ultrasound in guiding ventilator settings with an emphasis on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Recent advances for using ultrasound to assess the effects of PEEP on the lungs and diaphragm are discussed. RECENT FINDINGS Lung ultrasound can accurately diagnose the cause of acute respiratory failure, including acute respiratory distress syndrome and can identify focal and nonfocal lung morphology in these patients. This is essential in determining optimal ventilator strategy and PEEP level. Assessment of the effect of PEEP on lung recruitment using lung ultrasound is promising, especially in the perioperative setting. Diaphragm ultrasound can monitor the effects of PEEP on the diaphragm, but this needs further validation. In patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diaphragm ultrasound can be used to predict noninvasive ventilation failure. Lung and diaphragm ultrasound can be used to predict weaning outcome and accurately diagnose the cause of weaning failure. SUMMARY Lung and diaphragm ultrasound are useful for diagnosing the cause of respiratory failure and subsequently setting the ventilator including PEEP. Effects of PEEP on lung and diaphragm can be monitored using ultrasound.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the key concepts, physiological rationale and clinical evidence for titrating positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) using transpulmonary pressure ( PL ) derived from esophageal manometry, and describe considerations to facilitate bedside implementation. RECENT FINDINGS The goal of an esophageal pressure-based PEEP setting is to have sufficient PL at end-expiration to keep (part of) the lung open at the end of expiration. Although randomized studies (EPVent-1 and EPVent-2) have not yet proven a clinical benefit of this approach, a recent posthoc analysis of EPVent-2 revealed a potential benefit in patients with lower APACHE II score and when PEEP setting resulted in end-expiratory PL values close to 0 ± 2 cmH 2 O instead of higher or more negative values. Technological advances have made esophageal pressure monitoring easier to implement at the bedside, but challenges regarding obtaining reliable measurements should be acknowledged. SUMMARY Esophageal pressure monitoring has the potential to individualize the PEEP settings. Future studies are needed to evaluate the clinical benefit of such approach.

Abstract
Measuring patients' core body temperature during surgery is essential and commonly performed with an esophageal temperature probe. The probe must be placed in the lower third of the esophagus for accurate measurement. In this case report, we describe our experience of discovering an inadvertently malpositioned esophageal temperature probe in the right inferior lobar bronchus, which led to ventilation-related problems in a patient undergoing prostate surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The efficacy of pressure-controlled volume-guaranteed ventilation (PCV-VG) combined with a gradient-directional change in positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery was investigated. METHODS Ninety patients were randomly divided into the PC (PCV-VG + 5 cm H2 O fixed PEEP), PI (PCV-VG + incremental PEEP titration), and PD (PCV-VG + decremental PEEP titration) groups. Hemodynamic (heart rate [HR] and mean arterial pressure [MAP]), respiratory mechanics (Ppeak , Pmean, and Cdyn), and arterial blood gas (pH, PaCO2 , PaO2 , and PaO2 /FiO2 ) indices were evaluated at T1 (10 min of two-lung ventilation [TLV]), T2 (10 min of OLV), and T3 (10 min of recovery, TLV). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to detect neutrophil elastase (NE), clara cell secretory protein (CC16), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels at T1 and T3. RESULTS At T2 and T3 , Ppeak was lower in the PI and PD groups than in the PC group, while Pmean and Cdyn were higher than in the PC group. Ppeak in the PD group was lower than that in the PI group; however, Pmean was higher at T2 and T3 (P < 0.05). At T2 , PaO2 and PaO2 /FiO2 were higher, but PaO2 /FiO2 and VD /VT were lower in the PD and PI groups than in the PC group (P < 0.05). NE, CC16, IL-6, and IL-8 levels were elevated in all three groups at T3 , but the PI and PD groups had lower levels than the PC group (P < 0.05). The incidences of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and surgical intensive care unit hospitalizations in the PD and PI groups were much lower. CONCLUSION Gradient-directed altered PEEP titration could improve respiratory mechanics, arterial blood gases, and inflammatory responses and reduce the incidence of PPCs in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Background: This document updates previously published Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), incorporating new evidence addressing the use of corticosteroids, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, neuromuscular blocking agents, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Methods: We summarized evidence addressing four "PICO questions" (patient, intervention, comparison, and outcome). A multidisciplinary panel with expertise in ARDS used the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework to develop clinical recommendations. Results: We suggest the use of: 1) corticosteroids for patients with ARDS (conditional recommendation, moderate certainty of evidence), 2) venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in selected patients with severe ARDS (conditional recommendation, low certainty of evidence), 3) neuromuscular blockers in patients with early severe ARDS (conditional recommendation, low certainty of evidence), and 4) higher PEEP without lung recruitment maneuvers as opposed to lower PEEP in patients with moderate to severe ARDS (conditional recommendation, low to moderate certainty), and 5) we recommend against using prolonged lung recruitment maneuvers in patients with moderate to severe ARDS (strong recommendation, moderate certainty). Conclusions: We provide updated evidence-based recommendations for the management of ARDS. Individual patient and illness characteristics should be factored into clinical decision making and implementation of these recommendations while additional evidence is generated from much-needed clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many RCTs have evaluated the influence of intraoperative tidal volume (tV), PEEP, and driving pressure on the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications, cardiovascular complications, and mortality in adult patients. Our meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between tV, PEEP, and driving pressure and the above-mentioned outcomes. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs from inception to May 19, 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications; the secondary outcomes were intraoperative cardiovascular complications and 30-day mortality. Primary and secondary outcomes were evaluated stratifying patients in the following groups: (1) low tV (LV, tV 6-8 ml kg-1 and PEEP ≥5 cm H2O) vs high tV (HV, tV >8 ml kg-1 and PEEP=0 cm H2O); (2) higher PEEP (HP, ≥6 cm H2O) vs lower PEEP (LP, <6 cm H2O); and (3) driving pressure-guided PEEP (DP) vs fixed PEEP (FP). RESULTS We included 16 RCTs with a total sample size of 4993. The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was lower in patients treated with LV than with HV (OR=0.402, CI 0.280-0.577, P<0.001) and lower in DP than in FP group (OR=0.358, CI 0.187-0.684, P=0.002). Postoperative pulmonary complications did not differ between HP and LP groups; the incidence of intraoperative cardiovascular complications was higher in HP group (OR=1.385, CI 1.027-1.867, P=0.002). The 30-day mortality was not influenced by the ventilation strategy. CONCLUSIONS Optimal intraoperative mechanical ventilation is unclear; however, our meta-analysis showed that low tidal volume and driving pressure-guided PEEP strategies were associated with a reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individualised positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improves respiratory mechanics. However, whether PEEP reduces postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) remains unclear. We investigated whether driving pressure-guided PEEP reduces PPCs after laparoscopic/robotic abdominal surgery. METHODS This single-centre, randomised controlled trial enrolled patients at risk for PPCs undergoing laparoscopic or robotic lower abdominal surgery. The individualised group received driving pressure-guided PEEP, whereas the comparator group received 5 cm H2O fixed PEEP during surgery. Both groups received a tidal volume of 8 ml kg-1 ideal body weight. The primary outcome analysed per protocol was a composite of pulmonary complications (defined by pre-specified clinical and radiological criteria) within 7 postoperative days after surgery. RESULTS Some 384 patients (median age: 67 yr [inter-quartile range: 61-73]; 66 [18%] female) were randomised. Mean (standard deviation) PEEP in patients randomised to individualised PEEP (n=178) was 13.6 cm H2O (2.1). Individualised PEEP resulted in lower mean driving pressures (14.7 cm H2O [2.6]), compared with 185 patients randomised to standard PEEP (18.4 cm H2O [3.2]; mean difference: -3.7 cm H2O [95% confidence interval (CI): -4.3 to -3.1 cm H2O]; P<0.001). There was no difference in the incidence of pulmonary complications between individualised (25/178 [14.0%]) vs standard PEEP (36/185 [19.5%]; risk ratio [95% CI], 0.72 [0.45-1.15]; P=0.215). Pulmonary complications as a result of desaturation were less frequent in patients randomised to individualised PEEP (8/178 [4.5%], compared with standard PEEP (30/185 [16.2%], risk ratio [95% CI], 0.28 [0.13-0.59]; P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS Driving pressure-guided PEEP did not decrease the incidence of pulmonary complications within 7 days of laparoscopic or robotic lower abdominal surgery, although uncertainty remains given the lower than anticipated event rate for the primary outcome.

Abstract
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive bedside imaging technique that provides real-time lung ventilation information on critically ill patients. EIT can potentially become a valuable tool for optimising mechanical ventilation, especially in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In addition, EIT has been shown to improve the understanding of ventilation distribution and lung aeration, which can help tailor ventilatory strategies according to patient needs. Evidence from critically ill patients shows that EIT can reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation and prevent lung injury due to overdistension or collapse. EIT can also identify the presence of lung collapse or recruitment during a recruitment manoeuvre, which may guide further therapy. Despite its potential benefits, EIT has not yet been widely used in clinical practice. This may, in part, be due to the challenges associated with its implementation, including the need for specialised equipment and trained personnel and further validation of its usefulness in clinical settings. Nevertheless, ongoing research focuses on improving mechanical ventilation and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients.

Abstract
Individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) combined with recruitment maneuvers improves intraoperative oxygenation in individuals undergoing robot-assisted prostatectomy. However, whether electrical impedance tomography (EIT)-guided individualized PEEP without recruitment maneuvers can also improve intraoperative oxygenation is unknown. To test this, fifty-six male patients undergoing elective robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy were randomly assigned to either individualized PEEP (Group PEEPIND, n = 28) or a control with a fixed PEEP of 5 cm H2O (Group PEEP5, n = 28). Individualized PEEP was guided by EIT after placing the patients in the Trendelenburg position and performing intraperitoneal insufflation. Patients in Group PEEPIND maintained individualized PEEP without intermittent recruitment maneuvers, and those in Group PEEP5 maintained a PEEP of 5 cm H2O intraoperatively. Both groups were extubated in a semi-sitting position once the extubation criteria were met. The primary outcome was arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2)/inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) prior to extubation. Other outcomes included intraoperative driving pressure, plateau pressure and dynamic, respiratory system compliance, and the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia in the post-operative care unit (PACU). Our results showed that the intraoperative median for PEEPIND was 16 cm H2O (ranging from 12 to 18 cm H2O). EIT-guided PEEPIND was associated with higher PaO2/FiO2 before extubation compared to PEEP5 (71.6 ± 10.7 vs. 56.8 ± 14.1 kPa, p = 0.003). Improved oxygenation extended into the PACU with a lower incidence of postoperative hypoxemia (3.8% vs. 26.9%, p = 0.021). Additionally, PEEPIND was associated with lower driving pressures (12.0 ± 3.0 vs. 15.0 ± 4.4 cm H2O, p = 0.044) and better compliance (44.5 ± 12.8 vs. 33.6 ± 9.1 mL/cm H2O, p = 0.017). Our data indicated that individualized PEEP guided by EIT without intraoperative recruitment maneuvers also improved perioperative oxygenation in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, which could benefit patients with the risk of intraoperative hemodynamic instability caused by recruitment maneuvers. Trial registration: China Clinical Trial Registration Center Identifier: ChiCTR2100053839. This study was registered on 1 December 2021. The first patient was recruited on 15 December 2021.

Abstract
Rationale: Inflation is essential for aeration at birth, but current inflating pressure settings are without an evidence base. Objectives: To determine the role of inflating pressure (ΔP), and its relationship with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), in initiating early lung injury pathways in the preterm lamb lung. Methods: Preterm (124 to 127 d) steroid-exposed lambs (n = 45) were randomly allocated (8-10 per group) to 15 minutes of respiratory support with placental circulation and 20 or 30 cm H2O ΔP, with an initial high PEEP (maximum, 20 cm H2O) recruitment maneuver known to facilitate aeration (dynamic PEEP), and compared with dynamic PEEP with no ΔP or 30 cm H2O ΔP and low (4 cm H2O) PEEP. Lung mechanics and aeration were measured throughout. After an additional 30 minutes of apneic placental support, lung tissue and bronchoalveolar fluid were analyzed for regional lung injury, including proteomics. Measurements and Main Results: The 30 cm H2O ΔP and dynamic PEEP strategies resulted in quicker aeration and better compliance but higher tidal volumes (often >8 ml/kg, all P < 0.0001; mixed effects) and injury. ΔP 20 cm H2O with dynamic PEEP resulted in the same lung mechanics and aeration, but less energy transmission (tidal mechanical power), as ΔP 30 cm H2O with low PEEP. Dynamic PEEP without any tidal inflations resulted in the least lung injury. Use of any tidal inflating pressures altered metabolic, coagulation and complement protein pathways within the lung. Conclusions: Inflating pressure is essential for the preterm lung at birth, but it is also the primary mediator of lung injury. Greater focus is needed on strategies that identify the safest application of pressure in the delivery room.

Abstract
Pneumothorax is a potentially fatal complication in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), presenting challenges in determining the optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level to prevent atelectasis without exacerbating the pneumothorax. This case report describes the successful application of transpulmonary pressure and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) at the bedside to guide PEEP selection in a patient with ARDS complicated by pneumothorax due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. By using minimal PEEP to maintain positive end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure and visualizing lung reopening with EIT, the optimal PEEP level was reaffirmed, even if traditionally considered high. The patient's condition improved, and successful weaning from the ventilator was achieved, leading to a transfer out of the intensive care unit.

Abstract
Rationale: Defining lung recruitability is needed for safe positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection in mechanically ventilated patients. However, there is no simple bedside method including both assessment of recruitability and risks of overdistension as well as personalized PEEP titration. Objectives: To describe the range of recruitability using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), effects of PEEP on recruitability, respiratory mechanics and gas exchange, and a method to select optimal EIT-based PEEP. Methods: This is the analysis of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from an ongoing multicenter prospective physiological study including patients with moderate-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome of different causes. EIT, ventilator data, hemodynamics, and arterial blood gases were obtained during PEEP titration maneuvers. EIT-based optimal PEEP was defined as the crossing point of the overdistension and collapse curves during a decremental PEEP trial. Recruitability was defined as the amount of modifiable collapse when increasing PEEP from 6 to 24 cm H2O (ΔCollapse24-6). Patients were classified as low, medium, or high recruiters on the basis of tertiles of ΔCollapse24-6. Measurements and Main Results: In 108 patients with COVID-19, recruitability varied from 0.3% to 66.9% and was unrelated to acute respiratory distress syndrome severity. Median EIT-based PEEP differed between groups: 10 versus 13.5 versus 15.5 cm H2O for low versus medium versus high recruitability (P < 0.05). This approach assigned a different PEEP level from the highest compliance approach in 81% of patients. The protocol was well tolerated; in four patients, the PEEP level did not reach 24 cm H2O because of hemodynamic instability. Conclusions: Recruitability varies widely among patients with COVID-19. EIT allows personalizing PEEP setting as a compromise between recruitability and overdistension. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04460859).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Newborn resuscitation guidelines recommend positive pressure ventilation (PPV) for newborns who do not establish effective spontaneous breathing after birth. T-piece resuscitator systems are commonly used in high-resource settings and can additionally provide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Short expiratory time, high resistance, rapid dynamic changes in lung compliance and large tidal volumes increase the possibility of incomplete exhalation. Previous publications indicate that this may occur during newborn resuscitation. Our aim was to study examples of incomplete exhalations in term newborn resuscitation and discuss these against the theoretical background. METHODS Examples of flow and pressure data from respiratory function monitors (RFM) were selected from 129 term newborns who received PPV using a T-piece resuscitator. RFM data were not presented to the user during resuscitation. RESULTS Examples of incomplete exhalation with higher-than-set PEEP-levels were present in the recordings with visual correlation to factors affecting time needed to complete exhalation. CONCLUSIONS Incomplete exhalation and the relationship to expiratory time constants have been well described theoretically. We documented examples of incomplete exhalations with increased PEEP-levels during resuscitation of term newborns. We conclude that RFM data from resuscitations can be reviewed for this purpose and that incomplete exhalations should be further explored, as the clinical benefit or risk of harm are not known.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Low-level pressure support ventilation (PSV) is most commonly adopted in spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), and some have proposed setting the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to 0 cmH2 O in order to shorten the observation time of SBTs. This study aims to investigate the effects of two PSV protocols on the patients' respiratory mechanics. MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective randomized self-controlled crossover design was adopted in this study, which involved enrolling 30 difficult-to-wean patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between July 2019 and September 2021. Patients were subjected to the S group (pressure support: 8 cmH2 O, PEEP: 5 cmH2 O) and S1 group (PS: 8 cmH2 O, PEEP: 0 cmH2 O) for 30 min in a random order, and respiratory mechanics indices were dynamically monitored via a four-lumen multi-functional catheter with an integrated gastric tube. Among the 30 enrolled patients, 27 were successfully weaned. RESULT The S group showed higher airway pressure (Paw), intragastric pressure (Pga) and airway pressure-time product (PTP) than the S1 group. The S group also showed a shorter inspiratory trigger delay, (93.80 ± 47.85) versus (137.33 ± 85.66) ms (P = 0.004); and fewer abnormal triggers, (0.97 ± 2.65) versus (2.67 ± 4.48) (P = 0.042) compared with the S1 group. Stratification based on the causes of mechanical ventilation revealed that under the S1 protocol, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) had a longer inspiratory trigger delay compared to both post-thoracic surgery (PTS) patients and patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Despite providing greater respiratory support, S group led to significant reductions in inspiratory trigger delay and less abnormal triggers compared to S1 group, especially among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that the zero PEEP group was more likely to induce a higher number of patient-ventilator asynchronies in difficult-to-wean patients.

Abstract
Background: Cerebral autoregulation is the mechanism that allows to maintain the stability of cerebral blood flow despite changes in cerebral perfusion pressure. Maneuvers which increase intrathoracic pressure, such as the application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), have been always challenged in brain injured patients for the risk of increasing intracranial pressure (ICP) and altering autoregulation. The primary aim of this study is to assess the effect of PEEP increase (from 5 to 15 cmH2O) on cerebral autoregulation. Secondary aims include the effect of PEEP increase on ICP and cerebral oxygenation. Material and Methods: Prospective, observational study including adult mechanically ventilated patients with acute brain injury requiring invasive ICP monitoring and undergoing multimodal neuromonitoring including ICP, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and cerebral oxygenation parameters obtained with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and an index which expresses cerebral autoregulation (PRx). Additionally, values of arterial blood gases were analyzed at PEEP of 5 and 15 cmH2O. Results are expressed as median (interquartile range). Results: Twenty-five patients were included in this study. The median age was 65 years (46-73). PEEP increase from 5 to 15 cmH2O did not lead to worsened autoregulation (PRx, from 0.17 (-0.003-0.28) to 0.18 (0.01-0.24), p = 0.83). Although ICP and CPP changed significantly (ICP: 11.11 (6.73-15.63) to 13.43 (6.8-16.87) mm Hg, p = 0.003, and CPP: 72.94 (59.19-84) to 66.22 (58.91-78.41) mm Hg, p = 0.004), these parameters did not reach clinically relevant levels. No significant changes in relevant cerebral oxygenation parameters were observed. Conclusion: Slow and gradual increases of PEEP did not alter cerebral autoregulation, ICP, CPP and cerebral oxygenation to levels triggering clinical interventions in acute brain injury patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of positive pressure ventilation, central venous pressure (CVP) and inflammation on the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) have been poorly described in mechanically ventilated patient secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS This was a monocenter retrospective cohort study of consecutive ventilated COVID-19 patients admitted in a French surgical intensive care unit between March 2020 and July 2020. Worsening renal function (WRF) was defined as development of a new AKI or a persistent AKI during the 5 days after mechanical ventilation initiation. We studied the association between WRF and ventilatory parameters including positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), CVP, and leukocytes count. RESULTS Fifty-seven patients were included, 12 (21%) presented WRF. Daily PEEP, 5 days mean PEEP and daily CVP values were not associated with occurrence of WRF. 5 days mean CVP was higher in the WRF group compared to patients without WRF (median [IQR], 12 mm Hg [11-13] vs. 10 mm Hg [9-12]; P=0.03). Multivariate models with adjustment on leukocytes and Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II confirmed the association between CVP value and risk of WRF (odd ratio, 1.97; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-4.33). Leukocytes count was also associated with occurrence of WRF in the WRF group (14 G/L [11-18]) and the no-WRF group (9 G/L [8-11]) (P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS In mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients, PEEP levels did not appear to influence occurrence of WRF. High CVP levels and leukocytes count are associated with risk of WRF.

Abstract
Introduction Understanding the epidemiological profile and risk factors associated with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is essential to manage the patients better and to improve health services. Therefore, our objective was to describe the epidemiological profile of adult patients in intensive care that required IMV in-hospital treatment. Also, to evaluate the risks associated with death and the influence of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) at admission in the clinical outcome. Methods We conducted an epidemiological study analyzing medical records of inpatients who received IMV from January 2016 to December 2019 prior to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID)-19 pandemic in Brazil. We considered the following characteristics in the statistical analysis: demographic data, diagnostic hypothesis, hospitalization data, and PEEP and PaO2 during IMV. We associated the patients' features with the risk of death using a multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. We adopted an alpha error of 0.05. Results We analyzed 1,443 medical records; out of those, 570 (39.5%) recorded the patients' deaths. The binary logistic regression was significant in predicting the patients' risk of death [X2(9) = 288.335; p < 0.001]. Among predictors, the most significant in relation to death risk were: age [elderly ≥65 years old; OR = 2.226 (95%CI = 1.728-2.867)]; male sex (OR = 0.754; 95%CI = 0.593-0.959); sepsis diagnosis (OR = 1.961; 95%CI = 1.481-2.595); need for elective surgery (OR = 0.469; 95%CI = 0.362-0.608); the presence of cerebrovascular accident (OR = 2.304; 95%CI = 1.502-3.534); time of hospital care (OR = 0.946; 95%CI = 0.935-0.956); hypoxemia at admission (OR = 1.635; 95%CI = 1.024-2.611), and PEEP >8 cmH2O at admission (OR = 2.153; 95%CI = 1.426-3.250). Conclusion The death rate of the studied intensive care unit was equivalent to that of other similar units. Regarding risk predictors, several demographic and clinical characteristics were associated with enhanced mortality in intensive care unit patients under mechanical ventilation, such as diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, and older age. The PEEP >8 cmH2O at admission was also associated with increased mortality since this value is a marker of initially severe hypoxia.

Abstract
Patients with a Blom® tracheostomy tube (containing a cuff) can vocalize while on mechanical ventilation, which can significantly improve the patient's quality of life. This is brought by the purpose-built structure of the tracheostomy tube that allows the expiration to be expelled through the glottis. However, this characteristic may complicate the measurement of the patient's tidal volume, as most of the expiration does not return to the ventilator. Owing to the necessity of insertion of the speech cannula, which acts as an inner cannula, to enable patient vocalization, the air passage likely becomes constricted, thus increasing airway resistance. Difficulty in applying appropriate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and ventilator auto-triggering may also be problematic. Therefore, alveolar ventilation is predicted to decrease without adjusting the ventilation settings. Our experience using the Blom® tracheostomy tube revealed some problems, and we provide suggestions for patient management. We herein report on the experience of a patient having inserted the Blom® tracheostomy tube receiving mechanical positive pressure ventilation during vocal training.

Abstract
Esophageal pressure (Pes) monitoring is a minimally invasive advanced respiratory monitoring method with the potential to guide ventilation support management. Pes monitoring enables the separation of lung and chest wall mechanics and estimation of transpulmonary pressure, which is recognized as an important risk factor for lung injury during both spontaneous breathing and mechanical ventilation. Appropriate balloon positioning, calibration, and measurement techniques are important to avoid inaccurate results. Both the approach of using absolute expiratory Pes values and the approach based on tidal Pes difference have shown promising results for ventilation adjustments, with the potential to decrease the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung-protective ventilation (LPV) strategies have been considered as best practice in the care of critically patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effects individualized perioperative LPV with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and low tidal volumes (VT) based on a target airway plateau pressure (Pplat) in patients during and after an operation compared with conventional ventilation in elderly patients during abdominal surgery. METHODS Sixty-one elderly patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I to III undergoing open abdominal surgery received either conventional ventilation (8 ml/kg-1VT; CV group) or LPV (VT was adjusted to a target Pplat [⩽ 20 cm H2O]) in the volume-controlled mode with PEEP (9 cm H2O; LPV group) ventilation. RESULTS Patients in the LPV group showed significantly lower pH values (7.30 ± 0.07 vs. 7.38 ± 0.05, P< 0.001) and respiratory indexes than that of CV group (0.806 ± 0.339 vs. 0.919 ± 0.300, P= 0.043) at the end of surgery. Compared with the CV group, the dynamic lung compliance (33.39 ± 3.163 vs. 30.15 ± 2.572, P< 0.001) was significantly higher, and the body temperature remained significantly more favorable in the LPV group (35.9 ± 0.3 vs. 35.1 ± 0.4, P< 0.001). Patients in the LPV group had significantly faster postoperative recovery than that of the CV group (P< 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The study showed that LPV could be beneficial for ventilation, core body temperature, and postoperative recovery in elderly patients with healthy lungs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) represents an effective strategy for managing acute respiratory failure. Facemask NIV is strongly recommended in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with hypercapnia and acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE). Its role in managing acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) remains a debated issue. NIV and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered through the helmet are recently receiving growing interest for AHRF management. AREAS COVERED In this narrative review, we discuss the clinical applications of helmet support compared to the other available noninvasive strategies in the different phenotypes of acute respiratory failure. EXPERT OPINION Helmets enable the use of high positive end-expiratory pressure, which may protect from self-inflicted lung injury: in AHRF, the possible superiority of helmet support over other noninvasive strategies in terms of clinical outcome has been hypothesized in a network metanalysis and a randomized trial, but has not been confirmed by other investigations and warrants confirmation. In AECOPD patients, helmet efficacy may be inferior to that of face masks, and its use prompts caution due to the risk of CO2 rebreathing. Helmet support can be safely applied in hypoxemic patients with ACPE, with no advantages over facemasks.

Abstract
Introduction Equine peri-anesthetic mortality is higher than that for other commonly anesthetized veterinary species. Unique equine pulmonary pathophysiologic aspects are believed to contribute to this mortality due to impairment of gas exchange and subsequent hypoxemia. No consistently reliable solution for the treatment of peri-anesthetic gas exchange impairment is available. Flow-controlled expiration (FLEX) is a ventilatory mode that linearizes gas flow throughout the expiratory phase, reducing the rate of lung emptying and alveolar collapse. FLEX has been shown to improve gas exchange and pulmonary mechanics in anesthetized horses. This study further evaluated FLEX ventilation in anesthetized horses positioned in dorsal recumbency, hypothesizing that after alveolar recruitment, horses ventilated using FLEX would require a lower positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to prevent alveolar closure than horses conventionally ventilated. Methods Twelve adult horses were used in this prospective, randomized study. Horses were assigned either to conventional volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) or to FLEX. Following induction of general anesthesia, horses were placed in dorsal recumbency mechanically ventilated for a total of approximately 6.5 hours. Thirty-minutes after starting ventilation with VCV or FLEX, a PEEP-titration alveolar recruitment maneuver was performed at the end of which the PEEP was reduced in decrements of 3 cmH2O until the alveolar closure pressure was determined. The PEEP was then increased to the previous level and maintained for additional three hours. During this time, the mean arterial blood pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure, central venous blood pressure, cardiac output (CO), dynamic respiratory system compliance and arterial blood gas values were measured. Results The alveolar closure pressure was significantly lower (6.5 ± 1.2 vs 11.0 ± 1.5 cmH2O) and significantly less PEEP was required to prevent alveolar closure (9.5 ± 1.2 vs 14.0 ± 1.5 cmH2O) for horses ventilated using FLEX compared with VCV. The CO was significantly higher in the horses ventilated with FLEX (37.5 ± 4 vs 30 ± 6 l/min). Discussion We concluded that FLEX ventilation was associated with a lower PEEP requirement due to a more homogenous distribution of ventilation in the lungs during expiration. This lower PEEP requirement led to more stable and improved cardiovascular conditions in horses ventilated with FLEX.

Abstract
Introduction Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with pulmonary hypertension (PH) leads to increased morbidity and mortality in extremely preterm infants. Recent studies have analyzed factors associated with development of PH in BPD; however, this research remains inconclusive, and controversy exists regarding the correlation between BPD and PH. This study aimed to investigate potential associated factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of BPD with pulmonary hypertension in very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants. Methods We conducted a retrospective study, reviewing the records of infants with gestational age (GA) <32 weeks and birth weight <1,500 g admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit between January 2020 and October 2021 who were diagnosed with moderate to severe BPD. Echocardiogram was performed at the postmenstrual age of 36 weeks or before discharge. The diagnosis of PH was based on the findings of echocardiogram. Prenatal and postnatal characteristics, demographic data, treatment details, and outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 139 VLBW infants with BPD were enrolled and divided into a PH group (n = 25) and a non-PH group (n = 114). The mean GA was 27.3 ± 2.3 weeks and the mean birth weight of infants with BPD was 927.3 ± 293.3 g. A multivariate logistic regression model revealed that a high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting (OR: 2.105; 95% CI: 1.472-3.011; p < 0.001) in established BPD and surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA; OR: 6.273; 95% CI: 1.574-24.977; p = 0.009) were associated with BPD-PH. Neonates with BPD who developed pulmonary hypertension remained hospitalized for longer (p < 0.001), received invasive mechanical ventilation support for longer (p < 0.001), had a higher incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP; OR: 4.201; 95% CI: 1.561-11.304; p = 0.003), were more likely to require oxygen support at discharge (OR: 5.600; 95% CI: 2.175-14.416; p < 0.001), and were more likely to undergo tracheostomy (OR: 35.368; 95% CI: 4.03-310.43; p < 0.001). Conclusion PDA ligation and a higher PEEP setting were associated with BPD-PH in our cohort study. Compared with VLBW infants with BPD but without PH, infants with BPD and PH were hospitalized for longer, and also had a higher incidence of oxygen support after discharge, ROP, and tracheostomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Airway driving pressure, easily measured as plateau pressure minus PEEP, is a surrogate for alveolar stress and strain. However, the effect of its targeted reduction remains unclear. METHODS In this multicentre trial, patients undergoing lung resection surgery were randomised to either a driving pressure group (n=650) receiving an alveolar recruitment/individualised PEEP to deliver the lowest driving pressure or to a conventional protective ventilation group (n=650) with fixed PEEP of 5 cm H2O. The primary outcome was a composite of pulmonary complications within 7 days postoperatively. RESULTS The modified intention-to-treat analysis included 1170 patients (mean [standard deviation, sd]; age, 63 [10] yr; 47% female). The mean driving pressure was 7.1 cm H2O in the driving pressure group vs 9.2 cm H2O in the protective ventilation group (mean difference [95% confidence interval, CI]; -2.1 [-2.4 to -1.9] cm H2O; P<0.001). The incidence of pulmonary complications was not different between the two groups: driving pressure group (233/576, 40.5%) vs protective ventilation group (254/594, 42.8%) (risk difference -2.3%; 95% CI, -8.0% to 3.3%; P=0.42). Intraoperatively, lung compliance (mean [sd], 42.7 [12.4] vs 33.5 [11.1] ml cm H2O-1; P<0.001) and Pao2 (median [inter-quartile range], 21.5 [14.5 to 30.4] vs 19.5 [13.5 to 29.1] kPa; P=0.03) were higher and the need for rescue ventilation was less frequent (6.8% vs 10.8%; P=0.02) in the driving pressure group. CONCLUSIONS In lung resection surgery, a driving pressure-guided ventilation improved pulmonary mechanics intraoperatively, but did not reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications compared with a conventional protective ventilation.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of most common comorbidities in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There are few specific studies on the appropriate ventilation strategy for patients with ARDS comorbid with COPD, especially regarding on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration. Methods To compare the respiratory mechanics in mechanical ventilated ARDS patients with or without COPD and to determine whether titration of PEEP based on electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is superior to the ARDSnet protocol. This is a single center, perspective, repeated measure study. ARDS patients requiring mechanical ventilation who were admitted to the intensive care unit between August 2017 and December 2020 were included. ARDS patients were divided according to whether they had COPD into a COPD group and a non-COPD group. Respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, and hemodynamics during ventilation were compared between the groups according to whether the PEEP level was titrated by EIT or the ARDSnet protocol. Results A total of twenty-seven ARDS patients including 14 comorbid with and 13 without COPD who met the study eligibility criteria were recruited. The PEEP levels titrated by EIT and the ARDSnet protocol were lower in the COPD group than in the non-COPD group (6.93 ± 1.69 cm H2O vs. 12.15 ± 2.40 cm H2O, P < 0.001 and 10.43 ± 1.20 cm H2O vs. 14.0 ± 3.0 cm H2O, P < 0.001, respectively). In the COPD group, the PEEP level titrated by EIT was lower than that titrated by the ARDSnet protocol (6.93 ± 1.69 cm H2O vs. 10.43 ± 1.20 cm H2O, P < 0.001), as was the global inhomogeneity (GI) index (0.397 ± 0.040 vs. 0.446 ± 0.052, P = 0.001), plateau airway pressure (16.50 ± 4.35 cm H2O vs. 20.93 ± 5.37 cm H2O, P = 0.001), dead space ventilation ratio (48.29 ± 6.78% vs. 55.14 ± 8.85%, P < 0.001), ventilation ratio (1.63 ± 0.33 vs. 1.87 ± 0.33, P < 0.001), and mechanical power (13.92 ± 2.18 J/min vs. 15.87 ± 2.53 J/min, P < 0.001). The cardiac index was higher when PEEP was treated by EIT than when it was titrated by the ARDSnet protocol (3.41 ± 0.50 L/min/m2 vs. 3.02 ± 0.43 L/min/m2, P < 0.001), as was oxygen delivery (466.40 ± 71.08 mL/min/m2 vs. 411.10 ± 69.71 mL/min/m2, P = 0.001). Conclusion Titrated PEEP levels were lower in patients with ARDS with COPD than in ARDS patients without COPD. In ARDS patient comorbid with COPD, application of PEEP titrated by EIT was lower than those titrated by the ARDSnet protocol, which contributed to improvements in the ventilation ratio, mechanical energy, cardiac index, and oxygen delivery with less of an adverse impact on hemodynamics.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to verify the feasibility of using an Oxygenation Device with Reservoir and Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (ODRPEEP; DORPEEP in Spanish) and to analyze its safety with respect to mask leaks and carbon dioxide retention measured upon expiration. A quasi-experimental pilot study was designed with eight volunteers in two experiments to determine the degree of leaks from the device, according to the observation of water vapor particle diffusion, on the one hand, and of thermal images on the other. The results from this study showed that the mask from the DORPEEP© device at is tightest fit provided an adequate seal, although not fully airtight. In the thermal images and in the experiment with water vapor in our study, dispersions were mainly observed in the lower area in individuals with a beard. The DORPEEP© device was shown to have only slight leaks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to present a review on the general effects of different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels during thoracic surgery by qualitatively categorizing the effects into detrimental, beneficial, and inconclusive. DATA SOURCE Literature search of Pubmed, CNKI, and Wanfang was made to find relative articles about PEEP levels during thoracic surgery. We used the following keywords as one-lung ventilation, PEEP, and thoracic surgery. RESULTS We divide the non-individualized PEEP value into five grades, that is, less than 5, 5, 5-10, 10, and more than 10 cmH2 O, among which 5 cmH2 O is the most commonly used in clinic at present to maintain alveolar dilatation and reduce the shunt fraction and the occurrence of atelectasis, whereas individualized PEEP, adjusted by test titration or imaging method to adapt to patients' personal characteristics, can effectively ameliorate intraoperative oxygenation and obtain optimal pulmonary compliance and better indexes relating to respiratory mechanics. CONCLUSIONS Available data suggest that PEEP might play an important role in one-lung ventilation, the understanding of which will help in exploring a simple and economical method to set the appropriate PEEP level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individualised PEEP may optimise pulmonary compliance, thereby potentially mitigating lung injury. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the impact of individualised PEEP vs fixed PEEP during abdominal surgery on postoperative pulmonary outcomes. METHODS Medical databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were searched for RCTs comparing fixed vs individualised PEEP. The composite primary outcome of pulmonary complications comprised hypoxaemia, atelectasis, pneumonia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Secondary outcomes included oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2) and systemic inflammatory markers (interleukin-6 [IL-6] and club cell protein-16 [CC16]). We calculated risk ratios (RRs) and mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) using DerSimonian and Laird random effects models. Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was applied. RESULTS Ten RCTs (n=1117 patients) met the criteria for inclusion, with six reporting the primary endpoint. Individualised PEEP reduced the incidence of overall pulmonary complications (141/412 [34.2%]) compared with 183/415 (44.1%) receiving fixed PEEP (RR 0.69 [95% CI: 0.51-0.93]; P=0.016; I2=43%). Risk-of-bias analysis did not alter these findings. Individualised PEEP reduced postoperative hypoxaemia (74/392 [18.9%]) compared with 110/395 (27.8%) participants receiving fixed PEEP (RR 0.68 [0.52-0.88]; P=0.003; I2=0%) but not postoperative atelectasis (RR 0.93 [0.81-1.07]; P=0.297; I2=0%). Individualised PEEP resulted in higher PaO2/FiO2 (MD 20.8 mm Hg [4.6-36.9]; P=0.012; I2=80%) and reduced systemic inflammation (lower plasma IL-6 [MD -6.8 pg ml-1; -11.9 to -1.7]; P=0.009; I2=6%; and CC16 levels [MD -6.2 ng ml-1; -8.8 to -3.5]; P<0.001; I2=0%) at the end of surgery. CONCLUSIONS Individualised PEEP may reduce pulmonary complications, improve oxygenation, and reduce systemic inflammation after abdominal surgery. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION CRD42021277973.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: The present study aimed to investigate whether corrected flow time (FTc) in common carotid artery could predict volume responsiveness under mechanical ventilation and to further explore whether the sensitivity and specificity would be influenced by positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Methods: The first stage of this study included 80 patients from the general surgery department undergoing laparotomy. After induction of general anesthesia, FTc in the common carotid artery was measured when hemodynamic indicators, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output (CO), were stabilized. Then, 7 mg/kg (ideal body weight) of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride was rapidly infused from the peripheral venous system. The infusion was completed within 15 minutes, and hemodynamic indicators were measured again immediately to evaluate volume responsiveness. The patients with change rate of CO (ΔCO ≥15%) were categorized into the responsive (R) group, whereas those with ΔCO <15% were categorized into the nonresponsive group (NR) group. In the second stage, 29 patients undergoing laparotomy were included. After induction of general anesthesia, PEEP of 0, 5, and 10 cmH 2 O was applied sequentially. Corrected flow time and hemodynamic indicators were recorded. Then, 7 mg/g of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride was rapidly infused for 15 minutes, after which PEEP of 0, 5, and 10 cmH 2 O was applied sequentially, and the indicators were measured again. The patients with FTc equal to or less than the threshold in the first stage were categorized into the R group, otherwise into the NR group. Results: In the first stage of the study, CO and FTc differed significantly between the 2 groups, before and after volume load ( P < 0.05). Mean arterial pressure in the R group was significantly different, whereas heart rate did not differ before and after fluid infusion. Also, heart rate and mean arterial pressure were not significantly different before and after fluid infusion in the NR group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.786 ± 0.056 (95% confidence interval, 0.676-0.896; P = 0.00) for FTc before infusing volume load for predicting volume responsiveness. In the second stage of the study, PEEP did not have significant effects on FTc ( F2, 56 = 1.930, P = 0.155), whereas volume load had statistically significant effects on FTc ( F1, 28 ) = 9.381, P < 0.05). Moreover, FTc differed significantly different before and after fluid infusion ( P < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for FTc in predicting volume responsiveness was 0.921, 0.805, and 0.719 when PEEP was 0, 5, and 10 cmH 2 O ( P < 0.05), respectively, and the cutoff value of FTc for diagnosing volume responsiveness was 323.42 milliseconds, 326.69 milliseconds, and 312.03 milliseconds, respectively. Conclusion: Corrected flow time in the common carotid artery can predict volume responsiveness under mechanical ventilation, and the predictive performance is not influenced by PEEP.

Abstract
(1) Background: Individual PEEP settings (PEEPIND) may improve intraoperative oxygenation and optimize lung mechanics. However, there is uncertainty concerning the optimal procedure to determine PEEPIND. In this secondary analysis of a randomized controlled clinical trial, we compared different methods for PEEPIND determination. (2) Methods: Offline analysis of decremental PEEP trials was performed and PEEPIND was retrospectively determined according to five different methods (EIT-based: RVDI method, Global Inhomogeneity Index [GI], distribution of tidal ventilation [EIT VT]; global dynamic and quasi-static compliance). (3) Results: In the 45 obese and non-obese patients included, PEEPIND using the RVDI method (PEEPRVD) was 16.3 ± 4.5 cm H2O. Determination of PEEPIND using the GI and EIT VT resulted in a mean difference of −2.4 cm H2O (95%CI: −1.2;−3.6 cm H2O, p = 0.01) and −2.3 cm H2O (95% CI: −0.9;3.7 cm H2O, p = 0.01) to PEEPRVD, respectively. PEEPIND selection according to quasi-static compliance showed the highest agreement with PEEPRVD (p = 0.67), with deviations > 4 cm H2O in 3/42 patients. PEEPRVD and PEEPIND according to dynamic compliance also showed a high level of agreement, with deviations > 4 cm H2O in 5/42 patients (p = 0.57). (4) Conclusions: High agreement of PEEPIND determined by the RVDI method and compliance-based methods suggests that, for routine clinical practice, PEEP selection based on best quasi-static or dynamic compliance is favorable.

Abstract
Optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can induce sustained lung function improvement. This prospective, non-randomized interventional study aimed to investigate the effect of individualized PEEP determined using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in post-cardiac surgery patients (n = 35). Decremental PEEP trials were performed from 20 to 4 cmH2O in steps of 2 cmH2O, guided by EIT. PEEP levels preventing ventilation loss in dependent lung regions (PEEPONLINE) were set. Ventilation distributions and oxygenation before the PEEP trial, and 5 min and 1 h after the PEEPONLINE setting were examined. Furthermore, we analyzed the saved impedance data offline to determine the PEEP levels that provided the best compromise between overdistended and collapsed lung (PEEPODCL). Ventilation distributions of dependent regions increased at 5 min after the PEEPONLINE setting compared with those before the PEEP trial (mean ± standard deviation, 41.3 ± 8.5% vs. 49.1 ± 9.3%; p < 0.001), and were maintained at 1 h thereafter (48.7 ± 9.4%, p < 0.001). Oxygenation also showed sustained improvement. Rescue oxygen therapy (high-flow nasal cannula, noninvasive ventilation) after extubation was less frequent in patients with PEEPONLINE ≥ PEEPODCL than in those with PEEPONLINE < PEEPODCL (1/19 vs. 6/16; p = 0.018). EIT-guided individualized PEEP stabilized the improvement in ventilation distribution and oxygenation. Individual PEEP varies with EIT measures, and may differentially affect oxygenation after cardiac surgery.

OBJECTIVES Acute respiratory distress syndrome is treated by utilizing a lung protective ventilation strategy. Obesity presents with additional physiologic considerations, and optimizing ventilator settings may be limited with traditional means. Transpulmonary pressure (PL) obtained via esophageal manometry may be more beneficial to titrating positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in this population. We sought to determine the feasibility and impact of implementation of a protocol for use of esophageal balloon to set PEEP in obese patients in a community ICU. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 35 kg/m2) patients undergoing individualized PEEP titration with esophageal manometry. Data were extracted from electronic health record, and Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed to determine whether there were differences in the ventilatory parameters over time. SETTING Intensive care unit in a community based hospital system in Newark, Delaware. PATIENTS Twenty-nine mechanically ventilated adult patients with a median BMI of 45.8 kg/m2 with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). INTERVENTION Individualized titration of PEEP via esophageal catheter obtained transpulmonary pressures. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Outcomes measured include PEEP, oxygenation, and driving pressure (DP) before and after esophageal manometry at 4 and 24 hr. Clinical outcomes including adverse events (pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum), increased vasopressor use, rescue therapies (inhaled pulmonary vasodilators, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and new prone position), continuous renal replacement therapy, and tracheostomy were also analyzed. Four hours after PEEP titration, median PEEP increased from 12 to 20 cm H2O (p < 0.0001) with a corresponding decrease in median DP from 15 to 13 cm H2O (p = 0.002). Subsequently, oxygenation improved as median Fio2 decreased from 0.8 to 0.6 (p < 0.0001), and median oxygen saturation/Fio2 (S/F) ratio improved from 120 to 165 (p < 0.0001). One patient developed pneumomediastinum. No pneumothoraces were identified. Improvements in oxygenation continued to be seen at 24 hr, compared with the prior 4 hr mark, Fio2 (0.6-0.45; p < 0.004), and S/F ratio (165-211.11; p < 0.001). Seven patients required an increase in vasopressor support after 4 hours. Norepinephrine and epinephrine were increased by 0.05 (± 0.04) µg/kg/min and 0.02 (± 0.01) µg/kg/min on average, respectively. CONCLUSIONS PL-guided PEEP titration in obese patients can be used to safely titrate PEEP and decrease DP, resulting in improved oxygenation.

Abstract
Positive-pressure inspiration and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) increase pleural, alveolar, lung transmural, and intra-abdominal pressure, which decrease right and left ventricular (RV; LV) preload and LV afterload and increase RV afterload. The magnitude and clinical significance of the resulting changes in ventricular function are determined by the delivered tidal volume, the total level of PEEP, the compliance of the lungs and chest wall, intravascular volume, baseline RV and LV function, and intra-abdominal pressure. In mechanically ventilated patients, the most important, adverse consequences of respiratory-cardiovascular interactions are a PEEP-induced reduction in cardiac output, systemic oxygen delivery, and blood pressure; RV dysfunction in patients with ARDS; and acute hemodynamic collapse in patients with pulmonary hypertension. On the other hand, the hemodynamic changes produced by respiratory-cardiovascular interactions can be beneficial when used to assess volume responsiveness in hypotensive patients and by reducing dyspnea and improving hypoxemia in patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Thus, a thorough understanding of the physiological principles underlying respiratory-cardiovascular interactions is essential if critical care practitioners are to anticipate, recognize, manage, and utilize their hemodynamic effects. © 2022 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Neurocritical care (NCC) is not only generally guided by principles of general intensive care, but also directed by specific goals and methods. This review summarizes the common pulmonary diseases and pathophysiology affecting NCC patients and the progress made in strategies of respiratory support in NCC. This review highlights the possible interactions and pathways that have been revealed between neurological injuries and respiratory diseases, including the catecholamine pathway, systemic inflammatory reactions, adrenergic hypersensitivity, and dopaminergic signaling. Pulmonary complications of neurocritical patients include pneumonia, neurological pulmonary edema, and respiratory distress. Specific aspects of respiratory management include prioritizing the protection of the brain, and the goal of respiratory management is to avoid inappropriate blood gas composition levels and intracranial hypertension. Compared with the traditional mode of protective mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume (Vt), high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and recruitment maneuvers, low PEEP might yield a potential benefit in closing and protecting the lung tissue. Multimodal neuromonitoring can ensure the safety of respiratory maneuvers in clinical and scientific practice. Future studies are required to develop guidelines for respiratory management in NCC.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a heterogeneous lung disease responsible for significant morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients, including those infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019. Despite recent advances in pathophysiology, diagnostics, and therapeutics, ARDS is dangerously underdiagnosed, and supportive lung protective ventilation and prone positioning remain the mainstay interventions. Rescue therapies, including neuromuscular blockade and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, remain a key component of clinical practice, although benefits are unclear. Even though coronavirus disease 2019 ARDS has some distinguishing features from traditional ARDS, including delayed onset, hyperinflammatory response, and pulmonary microthrombi, it clinically is similar to traditional ARDS and should be treated with established supportive therapies.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, and hemodynamic impact of mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume (VT) in dogs with the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or preceded by alveolar recruitment maneuver (ARM). Study Design Prospective randomized clinical trial. Animals Twenty-one healthy client-owned mesocephalic healthy dogs, 1-7 years old, weighing 10-20 kg, and body condition scores 4-6/9 admitted for periodontal treatment. Methods Isoflurane-anesthetized dogs in dorsal recumbency were ventilated until 1 h with a volume-controlled ventilation mode using 8 mL kg-1 of VT. The dogs were distributed in 2 groups: in the ARM group, PEEP starts in 0 cmH2O, increasing gradually 5 cmH2O every 3 min, until reach 15 cmH2O and decreasing in the same steps until 5 cmH2O, maintaining this value until the end; and PEEP group, in which the pressure 5 cmH2O was instituted from the beginning of anesthesia and maintained the same level up to the end of the anesthesia. Cardiopulmonary, metabolic, oxygenation parameters, and respiratory mechanics were recorded after the anesthesia induction (baseline-BL), 15, 45, and 75 min after BL and during the recovery. Results The ARM increased the static compliance (Cst) (15 min after baseline) when compared with baseline moment (24.9 ± 5.8 mL cmH20-1 vs. 20.7 ± 5.4 mL cmH20-1-p = 0.0364), oxygenation index (PaO2/FIO2) (505.6 ± 59.2 mmHg vs. 461.2 ± 41.0 mmHg-p = 0.0453) and reduced the shunt fraction (3.4 ± 2.4% vs. 5.5 ± 1.6%-p = 0.062). In the PEEP group, no statistical differences were observed concerning the variables evaluated. At the beginning of the evaluation, the driving pressure (DP) before ARM was significantly greater than all other evaluation time points (6.9 ± 1.8 cmH20). Conclusions and Clinical Relevance The use of 8 mL kg-1 of VT and 5 cmH20 PEEP without ARM maintain adequate oxygenation and mechanical ventilation in dental surgeries for up to 1 h. The use of ARM slightly improved compliance and oxygenation during the maneuver.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is mostly characterized by the loss of aerated lung volume associated with an increase in lung tissue and intense and complex lung inflammation. ARDS has long been associated with the histological pattern of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD). However, DAD is not the unique pathological figure in ARDS and it can also be observed in settings other than ARDS. In the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related ARDS, the impairment of lung microvasculature has been pointed out. The airways, and of notice the small peripheral airways, may contribute to the loss of aeration observed in ARDS. High-resolution lung imaging techniques found that in specific experimental conditions small airway closure was a reality. Furthermore, low-volume ventilator-induced lung injury, also called as atelectrauma, should involve the airways. Atelectrauma is one of the basic tenet subtending the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) set at the ventilator in ARDS. Recent data revisited the role of airways in humans with ARDS and provided findings consistent with the expiratory flow limitation and airway closure in a substantial number of patients with ARDS. We discussed the pattern of airway opening pressure disclosed in the inspiratory volume-pressure curves in COVID-19 and in non-COVID-19 related ARDS. In addition, we discussed the functional interplay between airway opening pressure and expiratory flow limitation displayed in the flow-volume curves. We discussed the individualization of the PEEP setting based on these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intensive care practice calls for ventilator adjustments due to fast-changing clinical conditions in ventilated critically ill children. These adaptations include positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), and respiratory rate (RR). It is unclear which alterations in ventilator settings trigger a significant systemic inflammatory response. METHODS Fourteen-day old Wistar rat pups were randomized to the following groups: (a) "control" with tidal volume ~8 mL/kg, PEEP 5 cmH2O, FiO2 0.4, RR 90 min-1, (b) "PEEP 1", (c) "PEEP 9" (d) "FiO2 0.21", (e) "FiO2 1.0", (f) "hypocapnia" with RR of 180 min-1, and (g) "hypercapnia" with RR of 60 min-1. Following 120 min of mechanical ventilation, plasma for inflammatory biomarker analyses was obtained by direct cardiac puncture at the end of the experiment. RESULTS Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were driven by FiO2 0.4 and 1.0 (P=0.02, P<0.01, respectively), tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (tPAI-1) was increased by high PEEP (9 cmH2O, P<0.05) and hypocapnia (P<0.05), and TNF-α was significantly lower in hypercapnia (P<0.01). Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant 1 (CINC-1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) remained unaffected. CONCLUSION Alterations of PEEP, FiO2, and respiratory frequency induced a significant systemic inflammatory response in plasma of infant rats. These findings underscore the importance of lung-protective ventilation strategies. However, future studies are needed to clarify whether ventilation induced systemic inflammation in animal models is pathophysiologically relevant to human infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The preventive role of an intraoperative recruitment maneuver plus open lung approach (RM + OLA) ventilation on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) remains unclear. We aimed at investigating whether an intraoperative open lung condition reduces the risk of developing a composite of PPCs. METHODS Post hoc analysis of two randomized controlled trials including patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Patients were classified according to the intraoperative lung condition as "open" (OL) or "non-open" (NOL) if PaO2 /FIO2 ratio was ≥ or <400 mmHg, respectively. We used a multivariable logistic regression model that included potential confounders selected with directed acyclic graphs (DAG) using Dagitty software built with variables that were considered clinically relevant based on biological mechanism or evidence from previously published data. PPCs included severe acute respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pneumonia. RESULTS A total of 1480 patients were included in the final analysis, with 718 (49%) classified as OL. The rate of severe PPCs during the first seven postoperative days was 6.0% (7.9% in the NOL and 4.4% in the OL group, p = .007). OL was independently associated with a lower risk for severe PPCs during the first 7 and 30 postoperative days [odds ratio of 0.58 (95% CI 0.34-0.99, p = .04) and 0.56 (95% CI 0.34-0.94, p = .03), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS An intraoperative open lung condition was associated with a reduced risk of developing severe PPCs in intermediate-to-high risk patients undergoing abdominal surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION Registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT02158923 (iPROVE), NCT02776046 (iPROVE-O2).

Abstract
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure caused by an insult to the alveolar-capillary membrane, resulting in a marked reduction of aerated alveoli, increased vascular permeability and subsequent interstitial and alveolar pulmonary edema, reduced lung compliance, increase of physiological dead space, and hypoxemia. Most ARDS patients improve their systemic oxygenation, as assessed by the ratio between arterial partial pressure of oxygen and inspired oxygen fraction, with conventional intensive care and the application of moderate-to-high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure. However, in some patients hypoxemia persisted because the lungs are markedly injured, remaining unresponsive to increasing the inspiratory fraction of oxygen and positive end-expiratory pressure. For decades, mechanical ventilation was the only standard support technique to provide acceptable oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal. Mechanical ventilation provides time for the specific therapy to reverse the disease-causing lung injury and for the recovery of the respiratory function. The adverse effects of mechanical ventilation are direct consequences of the changes in pulmonary airway pressures and intrathoracic volume changes induced by the repetitive mechanical cycles in a diseased lung. In this article, we review 14 major successful and unsuccessful randomized controlled trials conducted in patients with ARDS on a series of techniques to improve oxygenation and ventilation published since 2010. Those trials tested the effects of adjunctive therapies (neuromuscular blocking agents, prone positioning), methods for selecting the optimum positive end-expiratory pressure (after recruitment maneuvers, or guided by esophageal pressure), high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, extracorporeal oxygenation, and pharmacologic immune modulators of the pulmonary and systemic inflammatory responses in patients affected by ARDS. We will briefly comment physiology-based gaps of negative trials and highlight the possible needs to address in future clinical trials in ARDS.

Abstract
Background and objectives Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is mainly a disease of the respiratory system that can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The pathophysiology of COVID-19 ARDS and consequently its management is a disputable subject. Early COVID-19 investigators hypothesized that the pathogenesis of COVID-19 ARDS is different from the usual ARDS. The aim of this study was to describe the lung mechanics in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients with ARDS. Methodology An observational retrospective cohort study was conducted on adult COVID-19 patients with ARDS who needed mechanical ventilation in the ICU of Ohoud Hospital, Madinah, KSA, from June to September 2020. Data were collected from the patients’ medical charts and electronic medical records and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software package version 22 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) for descriptive statistical analysis. Measurements and main results A total of 52 patients were analyzed: on intubation, the median positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was 10 cm H2O (IQR, 2.3-16), the median plateau pressure was 27 cm H2O (IQR, 12-40), and the median driving pressure was 17 cm H2O (IQR, 3-30). The median static compliance of the respiratory system was 24.7 mL/cm H2O (IQR, 12.8-153.3). 59.5% had severe ARDS (the PaO2/FiO2 ratio was less than 100 mmHg), and 33% had moderate ARDS (the PaO2/FiO2 ratio ranged from 100 to 200 mmHg). Conclusion Our results suggest that the lung mechanics in COVID-19 ARDS patients who need mechanical ventilation do not differ from non-COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration on intraoperative respiration and circulation in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery in prone position under general anesthesia. METHODS We prospectively selected 80 elderly patients (39 males and 41 females) aged over 65 years old, at American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade II or III, who underwent elective prone spinal surgery under general anesthesia, for this study. These patients were randomly divided into titration group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. PEEP of the titration group was increased from 0 to 20 cmH2O by steps of 2 cmH2O. For the control group, PEEP was constantly at 5 cmH2O and ventilation was maintained throughout the surgery. Dynamic pulmonary compliance (Cdyn) measurements were recorded when each PEEP level was kept for 1 min during titration, and individualized PEEP was determined by maximal Cdyn. MAP (mean arterial pressure), heart rate (HR), and CVP (Central venous pressure) were recorded at the set of prone position (T0), PEEP ventilation for 10 min (T1), 30 min (T2), 60 min (T3), end of surgery (T4), and 20 min after extubation (T5). Mean airway pressure (Pmean) and Cdyn were recorded from T0 to T4. Blood gas analysis was performed from T0 to T5 to calculate intrapulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt) and OI (PaO2/FiO2). The rate of phenylephrine use during mechanical ventilation and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications were also recorded. RESULTS The individualized PEEP obtained by titration for 1 min in the titration group was (12.38±2.67) cmH2O, which was significantly higher than the 5 cmH2O in constant PEEP of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MAP, HR, and CVP between the two groups at different time points, and no significant difference was noted in Pmean between the two groups from T0 to T4 (all P>0.05). From T2 to T4, Cdyn was significantly higher, and Qs/Qt was lower in the titration group than those in the control group (all P<0.05). From T2 to T5, the OI in the titration group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The rate of phenylephrine use was significantly higher in the titration group than that in the control group (10 patients (25%) vs. 3 patients (8%), P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in the titration group was significantly lower than that in the control group (2 cases (5%) vs. 8 cases (20%), P<0.05). CONCLUSION Compared with a constant PEEP of 5 cmH2O, intraoperative individualized PEEP titration in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery in prone position can improve oxygenation, reduce intrapulmonary shunt and postoperative pulmonary complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In brain injury patients, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may potentially increase the intracranial pressure (ICP). ICP can be noninvasively assessed from the sonographic measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). Herein, we aim to evaluate the association between PEEP and ICP via measuring ONSD in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. METHODS TBI patients with age ≥18 years, severe brain injury (GCS 8 or less), receiving mechanical ventilation, initial PEEP ≤4 mmHg and no history of severe cardiopulmonary disease were included in this study. Patients with intracranial hypertension (defined as ICP >20 mmHg) and already receiving PEEP >15 cm H2O at enrollment were excluded from the study. ONSD measurement was performed when hemodynamic parameters were most stable. Variables included central venous pressure, invasive blood pressure, heart rate, saturation, and ventilator parameters. RESULTS The ONSD and ICP did not increase significantly while PEEP increased from 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm H2O. However, ONSD and ICP significantly increased when PEEP increased from 10-15 cm H2O. There was no significant difference noted while comparing measurements of optic nerve sheath (ONS) diameter in both eyes at all PEEP values in cases as well as control patients. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased with an increase in PEEP value. Highly significant decrease occurred in MAP change from PEEP 10-15 in cases (P < 0.001) and control (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The PEEP up to 10 cm H2O can be safely applied in patients with TBI. In addition, the increment of PEEP might further increase the oxygenation, at the cost of ICP accentuation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The novel coronavirus-associated ARDS (COVID-19 ARDS) often requires invasive mechanical ventilation. A spectrum of atypical ARDS with different phenotypes (high vs low static compliance) has been hypothesized in COVID-19. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis to identify respiratory mechanics in COVID-19 ARDS. Berlin definition was used to categorize severity of ARDS. Correlational analysis using t test, chi-square test, ANOVA test, and Pearson correlation was used to identify relationship between subject variables and respiratory mechanics. The primary outcome was duration of mechanical ventilation. Secondary outcomes were correlation between fluid status, C- reactive protein, PEEP, and D-dimer with respiratory and ventilatory parameters. RESULTS Median age in our cohort was 60.5 y with predominantly male subjects. Up to 53% subjects were classified as severe ARDS (median [Formula: see text] = 86) with predominantly low static compliance (median Cst- 25.5 mL/cm H2O). The overall mortality in our cohort was 61%. The total duration of mechanical ventilation was 35 d in survivors and 14 d in nonsurvivors. High PEEP (r = 0.45, P < .001) and D-dimer > 2,000 ng/dL (P = .009) correlated with significant increase in physiologic dead space without significant correlation with [Formula: see text]. Higher net fluid balance was inversely related to static compliance (r = -0.24, P = .045), and elevation in C- reactive protein was inversely related to [Formula: see text] (r = -0.32, P = .02). CONCLUSIONS In our cohort of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 ARDS subjects, high PEEP and D-dimer were associated with increase in physiologic dead space without significant effect on oxygenation, raising the question of potential microvascular dysfunction.

Abstract
Background International guidelines suggest using a higher (> 10 cm H2O) positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS due to COVID-19. However, even if oxygenation generally improves with a higher PEEP, compliance, and Paco2 frequently do not, as if recruitment was small. Research Question Is the potential for lung recruitment small in patients with early ARDS due to COVID-19? Study Design and Methods Forty patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 were studied in the supine position within 3 days of endotracheal intubation. They all underwent a PEEP trial, in which oxygenation, compliance, and Paco2 were measured with 5, 10, and 15 cm H2O of PEEP, and all other ventilatory settings unchanged. Twenty underwent a whole-lung static CT scan at 5 and 45 cm H2O, and the other 20 at 5 and 15 cm H2O of airway pressure. Recruitment and hyperinflation were defined as a decrease in the volume of the non-aerated (density above −100 HU) and an increase in the volume of the over-aerated (density below −900 HU) lung compartments, respectively. Results From 5 to 15 cm H2O, oxygenation improved in 36 (90%) patients but compliance only in 11 (28%) and Paco2 only in 14 (35%). From 5 to 45 cm H2O, recruitment was 351 (161-462) mL and hyperinflation 465 (220-681) mL. From 5 to 15 cm H2O, recruitment was 168 (110-202) mL and hyperinflation 121 (63-270) mL. Hyperinflation variably developed in all patients and exceeded recruitment in more than half of them. Interpretation Patients with early ARDS due to COVID-19, ventilated in the supine position, present with a large potential for lung recruitment. Even so, their compliance and Paco2 do not generally improve with a higher PEEP, possibly because of hyperinflation.

Abstract
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is routinely applied in mechanically ventilated patients to improve gas exchange and respiratory mechanics by increasing end-expiratory lung volume (EELV). In a recent experimental study in rats, we demonstrated that prolonged application of PEEP causes diaphragm remodeling, especially longitudinal muscle fiber atrophy. This is of potential clinical importance, as the acute withdrawal of PEEP during ventilator weaning decreases EELV and thereby stretches the adapted, longitudinally atrophied diaphragm fibers to excessive sarcomere lengths, having a detrimental effect on force generation. Whether this series of events occurs in the human diaphragm is unknown. In the current study, we investigated if short-term application of PEEP affects diaphragm geometry and function, which are prerequisites for the development of longitudinal atrophy with prolonged PEEP application. Nineteen healthy volunteers were noninvasively ventilated with PEEP levels of 2, 5, 10, and 15 cmH2O. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to investigate PEEP-induced changes in diaphragm geometry. Subjects were instrumented with nasogastric catheters to measure diaphragm neuromechanical efficiency (i.e., diaphragm pressure normalized to its electrical activity) during tidal breathing with different PEEP levels. We found that increasing PEEP from 2 to 15 cmH2O resulted in a caudal diaphragm displacement (19 [14-26] mm, P < 0.001), muscle shortening in the zones of apposition (20.6% anterior and 32.7% posterior, P < 0.001), increase in diaphragm thickness (36.4% [0.9%-44.1%], P < 0.001) and reduction in neuromechanical efficiency (48% [37.6%-56.6%], P < 0.001). These findings demonstrate that conditions required to develop longitudinal atrophy in the human diaphragm are present with the application of PEEP.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We demonstrate that PEEP causes changes in diaphragm geometry, especially muscle shortening, and decreases in vivo diaphragm contractile function. Thus, prerequisites for the development of diaphragm longitudinal muscle atrophy are present with the acute application of PEEP. Once confirmed in ventilated critically ill patients, this could provide a new mechanism for ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction and ventilator weaning failure in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Abstract
Introduction: The effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) depends closely on the potential for lung recruitment. Bedside assessment of lung recruitability is crucial for personalized lung-protective mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Methods: We developed a transoesophageal lung ultrasound (TE-LUS) method in which a quantitative (computer-assisted) grayscale determination served as a guide to PEEP-induced lung recruitment. The method is based on the following hypothesis: when the PEEP increases, inflation of the recruited alveoli leads to significant changes in the air/water ratio. Normally ventilated areas are hypoechoic because the ultrasound waves are weakly reflected while poorly aerated areas or non-aerated areas are hyperechoic. We calculated the TE-LUS re-aeration score (RAS) as the ratio of the mean gray scale level at low PEEP to that value at high PEEP for the lower and upper lobes. A RAS > 1 indicated an increase in ventilated area. We used this new method to detect changes in ventilation in patients with a low (<0.5) vs. high (≥0.5) recruitment-to-inflation (R/I) ratio (i.e., the ratio between the recruited lung compliance and the respiratory system compliance at low PEEP). Results: We included 30 patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS. In patients with a high R/I ratio, the TE-LUS RAS was significantly higher in the lower lobes than in the upper lobes (1.20 [1.12-1.63] vs. 1.05 [0.89-1.38]; p = 0.05). Likewise, the TE-LUS RAS in the lower lobes was significantly higher in the high R/I group than in the low R/I group (1.20 [1.12-1.63] vs. 1.07 [1.00-1.20]; p = 0.04). Conclusion: The increase in PEEP induces a substantial gain in the ventilation detected by TE-LUS of poorly or non-aerated lower lobes (dependent lung regions), especially in patients with a high R/I ratio.

Abstract
Background Lung rest has been recommended during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Whether positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) confers lung protection during ECMO for severe ARDS is unclear. We compared the effects of three different PEEP levels whilst applying near-apnoeic ventilation in a model of severe ARDS treated with ECMO. Methods Acute respiratory distress syndrome was induced in anaesthetised adult male pigs by repeated saline lavage and injurious ventilation for 1.5 h. After ECMO was commenced, the pigs received standardised near-apnoeic ventilation for 24 h to maintain similar driving pressures and were randomly assigned to PEEP of 0, 10, or 20 cm H2O (n=7 per group). Respiratory and haemodynamic data were collected throughout the study. Histological injury was assessed by a pathologist masked to PEEP allocation. Lung oedema was estimated by wet-to-dry-weight ratio. Results All pigs developed severe ARDS. Oxygenation on ECMO improved with PEEP of 10 or 20 cm H2O, but did not in pigs allocated to PEEP of 0 cm H2O. Haemodynamic collapse refractory to norepinephrine (n=4) and early death (n=3) occurred after PEEP 20 cm H2O. The severity of lung injury was lowest after PEEP of 10 cm H2O in both dependent and non-dependent lung regions, compared with PEEP of 0 or 20 cm H2O. A higher wet-to-dry-weight ratio, indicating worse lung injury, was observed with PEEP of 0 cm H2O. Histological assessment suggested that lung injury was minimised with PEEP of 10 cm H2O. Conclusions During near-apnoeic ventilation and ECMO in experimental severe ARDS, 10 cm H2O PEEP minimised lung injury and improved gas exchange without compromising haemodynamic stability.
