Abstract
This study aims to resolve the unmet need for ventilator surge capacity by developing a prototype device that can alter patient-specific flow in a shared ventilator setup. The device is designed to deliver a predictable tidal volume (VT), requiring minimal additional monitoring and workload. The prototyped device was tested in an in vitro bench setup for its performance against the intended use and design criteria. The ventilation parameters: VT and airway pressures, and ventilation profiles: pressure, flow and volume were measured for different ventilator and device settings for a healthy and ARDS simulated lung pathology. We obtained VTs with a linear correlation with valve openings from 10 to 100% across set inspiratory pressures (IPs) of 20 to 30 cmH2O. Airway pressure varied with valve opening and lung elastance but did not exceed set IPs. Performance was consistent in both healthy and ARDS-simulated lung conditions. The ventilation profile diverged from traditional pressure-controlled profiles. We present the design a flow modulator to titrate VTs in a shared ventilator setup. Application of the flow modulator resulted in a characteristic flow profile that differs from pressure- or volume controlled ventilation. The development of the flow modulator enables further validation of the Individualized Shared Ventilation (ISV) technology with individualization of delivered VTs and the development of a clinical protocol facilitating its clinical use during a ventilator surge capacity problem.

Intensive Care Med Exp 2024; 12:30. [PMID: 38502268 PMCID: PMC10951187 DOI: 10.1186/s40635-024-00616-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical power (MP) is the energy delivered by the ventilator to the respiratory system and combines factors related to the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) is a new ventilation mode using a constant low flow during both inspiration and expiration, which is hypothesized to lower the MP and to improve ventilation homogeneity. Data demonstrating these effects are scarce, since previous studies comparing FCV with conventional controlled ventilation modes in ICU patients suffer from important methodological concerns. OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess the difference in MP between FCV and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV). Secondary aims were to explore the effect of FCV in terms of minute volume, ventilation distribution and homogeneity, and gas exchange. METHODS This is a physiological study in post-cardiothoracic surgery patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the ICU. During PCV at baseline and 90 min of FCV, intratracheal pressure, airway flow and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) were measured continuously, and hemodynamics and venous and arterial blood gases were obtained repeatedly. Pressure-volume loops were constructed for the calculation of the MP. RESULTS In 10 patients, optimized FCV versus PCV resulted in a lower MP (7.7 vs. 11.0 J/min; p = 0.004). Although FCV did not increase overall ventilation homogeneity, it did lead to an improved ventilation of the dependent lung regions. A stable gas exchange at lower minute volumes was obtained. CONCLUSIONS FCV resulted in a lower MP and improved ventilation of the dependent lung regions in post-cardiothoracic surgery patients on the ICU.

Individualised flow-controlled ventilation reduces applied mechanical power and improves ventilation efficiency in a porcine intra-abdominal hypertension model. Intensive Care Med Exp 2024; 12:27. [PMID: 38451347 PMCID: PMC10920549 DOI: 10.1186/s40635-024-00608-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility and effects of individualised flow-controlled ventilation (FCV), based on compliance guided pressure settings, compared to standard of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in a porcine intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) model. The primary aim of this study was to investigate oxygenation. Secondary aims were to assess respiratory and metabolic variables and lung tissue aeration. METHODS Pigs were randomly assigned to FCV (n = 9) and PCV (n = 9). IAH was induced by insufflation of air into the abdomen to induce IAH grades ranging from 0 to 3. At each IAH grade FCV was undertaken using compliance guided pressure settings, or PCV (n = 9) was undertaken with the positive end-expiratory pressure titrated for maximum compliance and the peak pressure set to achieve a tidal volume of 7 ml/kg. Gas exchange, ventilator settings and derived formulas were recorded at two timepoints for each grade of IAH. Lung aeration was assessed by a computed tomography scan at IAH grade 3. RESULTS All 18 pigs (median weight 54 kg [IQR 51-67]) completed the observation period of 4 h. Oxygenation was comparable at each IAH grade, but a significantly lower minute volume was required to secure normocapnia in FCV at all IAH grades (7.6 vs. 14.4, MD - 6.8 (95% CI - 8.5 to - 5.2) l/min; p < 0.001). There was also a significant reduction of applied mechanical power being most evident at IAH grade 3 (25.9 vs. 57.6, MD - 31.7 (95% CI - 39.7 to - 23.7) J/min; p < 0.001). Analysis of Hounsfield unit distribution of the computed tomography scans revealed a significant reduction in non- (5 vs. 8, MD - 3 (95% CI - 6 to 0) %; p = 0.032) and poorly-aerated lung tissue (7 vs. 15, MD - 6 (95% CI - 13 to - 3) %, p = 0.002) for FCV. Concomitantly, normally-aerated lung tissue was significantly increased (84 vs. 76, MD 8 (95% CI 2 to 15) %; p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS Individualised FCV showed similar oxygenation but required a significantly lower minute volume for CO2-removal, which led to a remarkable reduction of applied mechanical power. Additionally, there was a shift from non- and poorly-aerated lung tissue to normally-aerated lung tissue in FCV compared to PCV.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a common complication after lung transplantation. A plethora of contributing factors are known and assessment of donor lung function prior to organ retrieval is mandatory for determination of lung quality. Specialized centers increasingly perform ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) to further assess lung functionality and improve and extend lung preservation with the aim to increase lung utilization. EVLP can be performed following different protocols. The impact of the individual EVLP parameters on PGD development, organ function and postoperative outcome remains to be fully investigated. The variables relate to the engineering and function of the respective perfusion devices, such as the type of pump used, functional, like ventilation modes or physiological (e.g. perfusion solutions). This review reflects on the individual technical and fluid components relevant to EVLP and their respective impact on inflammatory response and outcome. We discuss key components of EVLP protocols and options for further improvement of EVLP in regard to PGD. This review offers an overview of available options for centers establishing an EVLP program and for researchers looking for ways to adapt existing protocols.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Multifactorial comparison of flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) to standard of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in terms of oxygenation in cardiac surgery patients after chest closure. DESIGN Prospective, non-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING Operating theatre at an university hospital, Austria. PATIENTS Patients scheduled for elective, open, on-pump, cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomized to either individualized FCV (compliance guided end-expiratory and peak pressure setting) or control of PCV (compliance guided end-expiratory pressure setting and tidal volume of 6-8 ml/kg) for the duration of surgery. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome measure was oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2) 15 min after intraoperative chest closure. Secondary endpoints included CO2-removal assessed as required minute volume to achieve normocapnia and lung tissue aeration assessed by Hounsfield unit distribution in postoperative computed tomography scans. MAIN RESULTS Between April 2020 and April 2021 56 patients were enrolled and 50 included in the primary analysis (mean age 70 years, 38 (76%) men). Oxygenation, assessed by PaO2/FiO2, was significantly higher in the FCV group (n = 24) compared to the control group (PCV, n = 26) (356 vs. 309, median difference (MD) 46 (95% CI 3 to 90) mmHg; p = 0.038). Additionally, the minute volume required to obtain normocapnia was significantly lower in the FCV group (4.0 vs. 6.1, MD -2.0 (95% CI -2.5 to -1.5) l/min; p < 0.001) and correlated with a significantly lower exposure to mechanical power (5.1 vs. 9.8, MD -5.1 (95% CI -6.2 to -4.0) J/min; p < 0.001). Evaluation of lung tissue aeration revealed a significantly reduced amount of non-aerated lung tissue in FCV compared to PCV (5 vs. 7, MD -3 (95% CI -4 to -1) %; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing on-pump, cardiac surgery individualized FCV significantly improved oxygenation and lung tissue aeration compared to PCV. In addition, carbon dioxide removal was accomplished at a lower minute volume leading to reduced applied mechanical power.

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

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although there has been extensive research on mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), treatment remains mainly supportive. Recent studies and new ventilatory modes have been proposed to manage patients with ARDS; however, the clinical impact of these strategies remains uncertain and not clearly supported by guidelines. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview and update on ventilatory management for patients with ARDS. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the literature regarding mechanical ventilation in ARDS. A comprehensive overview of the principal settings for the ventilator parameters involved is provided as well as a report on the differences between controlled and assisted ventilation. Additionally, new modes of assisted ventilation are presented and discussed. The evidence concerning rescue strategies, including recruitment maneuvers and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, is analyzed. PubMed, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Library were searched up until June 2023, for relevant literature. EXPERT OPINION Available evidence for mechanical ventilation in cases of ARDS suggests the use of a personalized mechanical ventilation strategy. Although promising, new modes of assisted mechanical ventilation are still under investigation and guidelines do not recommend rescue strategies as the standard of care. Further research on this topic is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A continuous gas flow provided by flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) facilitates accurate dynamic compliance measurement and allows the clinician to individually optimise positive end-expiratory and peak pressure settings accordingly. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of gas exchange and impact on haemodynamics between individualised FCV and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in a porcine model of oleic acid-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). DESIGN Randomised controlled interventional trial conducted on 16 pigs. SETTING Animal operating facility at the Medical University Innsbruck. INTERVENTIONS ARDS was induced in lung healthy pigs by intravenous infusion of oleic acid until moderate-to-severe ARDS at a stable Horowitz quotient (PaO 2 FiO 2-1 ) of 80 to 120 over a period of 30 min was obtained. Ventilation was then either performed with individualised FCV ( n = 8) established by compliance-guided pressure titration or PCV ( n = 8) with compliance-guided titration of the positive end-expiratory pressure and peak pressure set to achieve a tidal volume of 6 ml kg -1 over a period of 2 h. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Gas exchange parameters were assessed by the PaO 2 FiO 2-1 quotient and CO 2 removal by the PaCO 2 value in relation to required respiratory minute volume. Required catecholamine support for haemodynamic stabilisation was measured. RESULTS The FCV group showed significantly improved oxygenation [149.2 vs. 110.4, median difference (MD) 38.7 (8.0 to 69.5) PaO 2 FiO 2-1 ; P = 0.027] and CO 2 removal [PaCO 2 7.25 vs. 9.05, MD -1.8 (-2.87 to -0.72) kPa; P = 0.006] at a significantly lower respiratory minute volume [8.4 vs. 11.9, MD -3.6 (-5.6 to -1.5) l min -1 ; P = 0.005] compared with PCV. In addition, in FCV-pigs, haemodynamic stabilisation occurred with a significant reduction of required catecholamine support [norepinephrine 0.26 vs. 0.86, MD -0.61 (-1.12 to -0.09) μg kg -1 min -1 ; P = 0.037] during 2 ventilation hours. CONCLUSION In this oleic acid-induced porcine ARDS model, individualised FCV significantly improved gas exchange and haemodynamic stability compared with PCV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Application of a ventilation modality that ensures adequate gas exchange during one-lung ventilation (OLV) without inducing lung injury is of paramount importance. Due to its beneficial effects on respiratory mechanics and gas exchange, flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) may be considered as a protective alternative mode of traditional pressure- or volume-controlled ventilation during OLV. We investigated whether this new modality provides benefits compared with conventional ventilation modality for OLV. METHODS Ten pigs were anaesthetized and randomly assigned in a crossover design to be ventilated with FCV or pressure-regulated volume control (PRVC) ventilation. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (Pa o2 ), carbon dioxide (Pa co2 ), ventilation and hemodynamical parameters, and lung aeration measured by electrical impedance tomography were assessed at baseline and 1 hour after the application of each modality during OLV using an endobronchial blocker. RESULTS Compared to PRVC, FCV resulted in increased Pa o2 (153.7 ± 12.7 vs 169.9 ± 15.0 mm Hg; P = .002) and decreased Pa co2 (53.0 ± 11.0 vs 43.2 ± 6.0 mm Hg; P < .001) during OLV, with lower respiratory elastance (103.7 ± 9.5 vs 77.2 ± 10.5 cm H 2 O/L; P < .001) and peak inspiratory pressure values (27.4 ± 1.9 vs 22.0 ± 2.3 cm H 2 O; P < .001). No differences in lung aeration or hemodynamics could be detected between the 2 ventilation modalities. CONCLUSIONS The application of FCV in OLV led to improvement in gas exchange and respiratory elastance with lower ventilatory pressures. Our findings suggest that FCV may offer an optimal, protective ventilation modality for OLV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) enables precise determination of dynamic compliance due to a continuous flow coupled with direct tracheal pressure measurement. Thus, pressure settings can be adjusted accordingly in an individualised approach. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare gas exchange of individualised FCV to pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in a porcine model of simulated thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV). DESIGN Controlled interventional trial conducted on 16 domestic pigs. SETTING Animal operating facility at the Medical University of Innsbruck. INTERVENTIONS Thoracic surgery was simulated with left-sided thoracotomy and subsequent collapse of the lung over a period of three hours. When using FCV, ventilation was performed with compliance-guided pressure settings. When using PCV, end-expiratory pressure was adapted to achieve best compliance with peak pressure adjusted to achieve a tidal volume of 6 ml kg -1 during OLV. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Gas exchange was assessed by the Horowitz index (= P aO 2 /FIO 2 ) and CO 2 removal by the P aCO 2 value in relation to required respiratory minute volume. RESULTS In the FCV group ( n = 8) normocapnia could be maintained throughout the OLV trial despite a significantly lower respiratory minute volume compared to the PCV group ( n = 8) (8.0 vs. 11.6, 95% confidence interval, CI -4.5 to -2.7 l min -1 ; P < 0.001), whereas permissive hypercapnia had to be accepted in PCV ( P aCO 2 5.68 vs. 6.89, 95% CI -1.7 to -0.7 kPa; P < 0.001). The Horowitz index was comparable in both groups but calculated mechanical power was significantly lower in FCV (7.5 vs. 22.0, 95% CI -17.2 to -11.8 J min -1 ; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this porcine study FCV maintained normocapnia during OLV, whereas permissive hypercapnia had to be accepted in PCV despite a substantially higher minute volume. Reducing exposure of the lungs to mechanical power applied by the ventilator in FCV offers a possible advantage for this mode of ventilation in terms of lung protection.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Upper airway surgery often poses a challenge to both anesthesiologists and surgeons, as airway access, mechanical ventilation, and surgical difficulties may occur in a tricky combination. To fulfill the need for a tubeless surgery, techniques such as apneic oxygenation or jet ventilation may be used, which carry the risk of several complications. The ultrathin cuffed endotracheal tube Tritube can be used with flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) to provide adequate surgical field and ventilation. To assess the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of this technique, we describe a series of 21 patients, with various lung conditions, undergoing laryngo-tracheal surgery with FCV delivered via Tritube. Moreover, we perform a narrative systematic review to summarize clinical data on the use of Tritube during upper airway surgery.
Results
All patients were successfully intubated in one attempt with Tritube. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) tidal volume was 6.7 (6.2–7.1) mL/kg of ideal body weight, the median end-expiratory pressure was 5.3 (5.0–6.4) cmH2O, and the median peak tracheal pressure was 16 (15–18) cmH2O. The median minute volume was 5.3 (5.0–6.4) L/min. Median global alveolar driving pressure was 8 (7–9) cmH2O. The median maximum level of end-tidal CO2 was 39 (35–41) mmHg. During procedures involving laser, the maximum fraction of inspired oxygen was 0.3, with the median lowest peripheral oxygen saturation of 96% (94–96%). No complications associated with intubation or extubation occurred. In one patient, the ventilator needed to be rebooted for a software issue. In two (10%) patients, Tritube needed to be flushed with saline to remove secretions. In all patients, optimal visualization and accessibility of the surgical site were obtained, according to the surgeon in charge. Thirteen studies (seven case reports, two case series, three prospective observational studies, and one randomized controlled trial) were included in the narrative systematic review and described.
Conclusions
Tritube in combination with FCV provided adequate surgical exposure and ventilation in patients undergoing laryngo-tracheal surgery. While training and experience with this new method is needed, FCV delivered with Tritube may represent an ideal approach that benefits surgeons, anesthesiologists, and patients with difficult airways and compromised lung mechanics.

Abstract
Background Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV), a novel mode of mechanical ventilation characterised by constant flow during active expiration, may result in more efficient alveolar gas exchange, better lung recruitment and might be useful in limiting ventilator-induced lung injury. However, data regarding FCV in mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are scarce. Objectives We hypothesised that the use of FCV is feasible and would improve oxygenation in moderate COVID-19 ARDS compared to conventional ventilation. Design Open-label repeated-measures controlled trial. Setting From February to April 2021, patients with moderate COVID-19 ARDS were recruited in a tertiary referral intensive care unit. Patients Patients with moderate ARDS (PaO2/FIO2 ratio 100–200 mmHg, SpO2 88–94% and PaO2 60–80 mmHg) were considered eligible. Exclusion criteria were: extremes of age (< 18 years, > 80 years), obesity (body mass index > 40 kg/m2), prone positioning at the time of intervention, mechanical ventilation for more than 10 days and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Eleven patients were recruited. Intervention Participants were ventilated in FCV mode for 30 min, and subsequently in volume-control mode (VCV) for 30 min. Main outcome measures Feasibility of FCV to maintain oxygenation was assessed by the PaO2/FiO2 ratio (mmHg) as a primary outcome parameter. Secondary outcomes included ventilator parameters, PaCO2 and haemodynamic data. All adverse events were recorded. Results FCV was feasible in all patients and no adverse events were observed. There was no difference in the PaO2/FIO2 ratio after 30 min of ventilation in FCV mode (169 mmHg) compared to 30 min of ventilation in VCV mode subsequently (168 mmHg, 95% CI of pseudo-medians (− 10.5, 3.6), p = 0.56). The tidal volumes (p < 0.01) and minute ventilation were lower during FCV (p = 0.01) while PaCO2 was similar at the end of the 30-min ventilation periods (p = 0.31). Mean arterial pressure during FCV was comparable to baseline. Conclusions Thirty minutes of FCV in patients with moderate COVID-19 ARDS receiving neuromuscular blocking agents resulted in similar oxygenation, compared to VCV. FCV was feasible and did not result in adverse events. Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT04894214.

Abstract
Extraordinary progress has been made during the past few decades in the development of anesthesia machines and ventilation techniques. With unprecedented precision and performance, modern machines for pediatric anesthesia can deliver appropriate mechanical ventilation for children and infants of all sizes and with ongoing respiratory diseases, ensuring very small volume delivery and compensating for circuit compliance. Along with highly accurate monitoring of the delivered ventilation, modern ventilators for pediatric anesthesia also have a broad choice of ventilation modalities, including synchronized and assisted ventilation modes, which were initially conceived for ventilation weaning in the intensive care setting. Despite these technical advances, there is still room for improvement in pediatric mechanical ventilation. There is a growing effort to minimize the harm of intraoperative mechanical ventilation of children by adopting the protective ventilation strategies that were previously employed only for prolonged mechanical ventilation. More than ever, the pediatric anesthesiologist should now recognize that positive-pressure ventilation is potentially a harmful procedure, even in healthy children, as it can contribute to both ventilator-induced lung injury and ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. Therefore, careful choice of the ventilation modality and its parameters is of paramount importance to optimize gas exchange and to protect the lungs from injury during general anesthesia. The present report reviews the novel ventilation techniques used for children, discussing the advantages and pitfalls of the ventilation modalities available in modern anesthesia machines, as well as innovative ventilation modes currently under development or research. Several innovative strategies and devices are discussed. These novel modalities are likely to become part of the armamentarium of the pediatric anesthesiologist in the near future and are particularly relevant for challenging ventilation scenarios.

Abstract
Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) is characterized by a constant flow to generate active inspiration and expiration. While the benefit of FCV on gas exchange has been demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies with adults, the value of this modality for a pediatric population remains unknown. Thus, we aimed at observing the effects of FCV as compared to pressure-regulated volume control (PRVC) ventilation on lung mechanics, gas exchange and lung aeration before and after surfactant depletion in a pediatric model. Ten anesthetized piglets (10.4 ± 0.2 kg) were randomly assigned to start 1-h ventilation with FCV or PRVC before switching the ventilation modes for another hour. This sequence was repeated after inducing lung injury by bronchoalveolar lavage and injurious ventilation. The primary outcome was respiratory tissue elastance. Secondary outcomes included oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), PaCO2, intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt), airway resistance, respiratory tissue damping, end-expiratory lung volume, lung clearance index and lung aeration by chest electrical impedance tomography. Measurements were performed at the end of each protocol stage. Ventilation modality had no effect on any respiratory mechanical parameter. Adequate gas exchange was provided by FCV, similar to PRVC, with sufficient CO2 elimination both in healthy and surfactant-depleted lungs (39.46 ± 7.2 mmHg and 46.2 ± 11.4 mmHg for FCV; 36.0 ± 4.1 and 39.5 ± 4.9 mmHg, for PRVC, respectively). Somewhat lower PaO2/FiO2 and higher Qs/Qt were observed in healthy and surfactant depleted lungs during FCV compared to PRVC (p < 0.05, for all). Compared to PRVC, lung aeration was significantly elevated, particularly in the ventral dependent zones during FCV (p < 0.05), but this difference was not evidenced in injured lungs. Somewhat lower oxygenation and higher shunt ratio was observed during FCV, nevertheless lung aeration improved and adequate gas exchange was ensured. Therefore, in the absence of major differences in respiratory mechanics and lung volumes, FCV may be considered as an alternative in ventilation therapy of pediatric patients with healthy and injured lungs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) is a novel ventilation method increasingly being used clinically, particularly during the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the continuous flow pattern in FCV during inspiration and expiration has a significant impact on respiratory parameters and ventilatory settings compared to conventional ventilation modes. In addition, the constant flow combined with direct intratracheal pressure measurement allows determination of dynamic compliance and ventilation settings can be adjusted accordingly, reflecting a personalized ventilation approach. CASE PRESENTATION A 50-year old women with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was admitted to a tertiary medical center. Initial ventilation occurred with best standard of care pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) and was then switched to FCV, by adopting PCV ventilator settings. This led to an increase in oxygenation by 30 %. Subsequently, to reduce invasiveness of mechanical ventilation, FCV was individualized by dynamic compliance guided adjustment of both, positive end-expiratory pressure and peak pressure; this intervention reduced driving pressure from 18 to 12 cm H2O. However, after several hours, compliance further deteriorated which resulted in a tidal volume of only 4.7 ml/kg. CONCLUSIONS An individualized FCV approach increased oxygenation parameters in a patient suffering from severe COVID-19 related ARDS. Direct intratracheal pressure measurements allow for determination of dynamic compliance and thus optimization of ventilator settings, thereby reducing applied and dissipated energy. However, although desirable, this personalized ventilation strategy may reach its limits when lung function is so severely impaired that patient's oxygenation has to be ensured at the expense of lung protective ventilation concepts.

Abstract
Background Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) allows expiratory flow control, reducing the collapse of the airways during expiration. The performance of FCV during one-lung ventilation (OLV) under intravascular normo- and hypovolaemia is currently unknown. In this explorative study, we hypothesised that OLV with FCV improves PaO2 and reduces mechanical power compared to volume-controlled ventilation (VCV). Sixteen juvenile pigs were randomly assigned to one of two groups: (1) intravascular normovolaemia (n = 8) and (2) intravascular hypovolaemia (n = 8). To mimic inflammation due to major thoracic surgery, a thoracotomy was performed, and 0.5 μg/kg/h lipopolysaccharides from Escherichia coli continuously administered intravenously. Animals were randomly assigned to OLV with one of two sequences (60 min per mode): (1) VCV–FCV or (2) FCV–VCV. Variables of gas exchange, haemodynamics and respiratory signals were collected 20, 40 and 60 min after initiation of OLV with each mechanical ventilation mode. The distribution of ventilation was determined using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Results Oxygenation did not differ significantly between modes (P = 0.881). In the normovolaemia group, the corrected expired minute volume (P = 0.022) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) were lower during FCV than VCV. The minute volume (P ≤ 0.001), respiratory rate (P ≤ 0.001), total PEEP (P ≤ 0.001), resistance of the respiratory system (P ≤ 0.001), mechanical power (P ≤ 0.001) and resistive mechanical power (P ≤ 0.001) were lower during FCV than VCV irrespective of the volaemia status. The distribution of ventilation did not differ between both ventilation modes (P = 0.103). Conclusions In a model of OLV in normo- and hypovolemic pigs, mechanical power was lower during FCV compared to VCV, without significant differences in oxygenation. Furthermore, the efficacy of ventilation was higher during FCV compared to VCV during normovolaemia.

Individualized flow-controlled ventilation compared to best clinical practice pressure-controlled ventilation: a prospective randomized porcine study. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2020; 24:662. [PMID: 33239039 PMCID: PMC7686826 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-020-03325-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 10/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow-controlled ventilation is a novel ventilation method which allows to individualize ventilation according to dynamic lung mechanic limits based on direct tracheal pressure measurement at a stable constant gas flow during inspiration and expiration. The aim of this porcine study was to compare individualized flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) and current guideline-conform pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in long-term ventilation. METHODS Anesthetized pigs were ventilated with either FCV or PCV over a period of 10 h with a fixed FiO2 of 0.3. FCV settings were individualized by compliance-guided positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and peak pressure (Ppeak) titration. Flow was adjusted to maintain normocapnia and the inspiration to expiration ratio (I:E ratio) was set at 1:1. PCV was performed with a PEEP of 5 cm H2O and Ppeak was set to achieve a tidal volume (VT) of 7 ml/kg. The respiratory rate was adjusted to maintain normocapnia and the I:E ratio was set at 1:1.5. Repeated measurements during observation period were assessed by linear mixed-effects model. RESULTS In FCV (n = 6), respiratory minute volume was significantly reduced (6.0 vs 12.7, MD - 6.8 (- 8.2 to - 5.4) l/min; p < 0.001) as compared to PCV (n = 6). Oxygenation was improved in the FCV group (paO2 119.8 vs 96.6, MD 23.2 (9.0 to 37.5) Torr; 15.97 vs 12.87, MD 3.10 (1.19 to 5.00) kPa; p = 0.010) and CO2 removal was more efficient (paCO2 40.1 vs 44.9, MD - 4.7 (- 7.4 to - 2.0) Torr; 5.35 vs 5.98, MD - 0.63 (- 0.99 to - 0.27) kPa; p = 0.006). Ppeak and driving pressure were comparable in both groups, whereas PEEP was significantly lower in FCV (p = 0.002). Computed tomography revealed a significant reduction in non-aerated lung tissue in individualized FCV (p = 0.026) and no significant difference in overdistended lung tissue, although a significantly higher VT was applied (8.2 vs 7.6, MD 0.7 (0.2 to 1.2) ml/kg; p = 0.025). CONCLUSION Our long-term ventilation study demonstrates the applicability of a compliance-guided individualization of FCV settings, which resulted in significantly improved gas exchange and lung tissue aeration without signs of overinflation as compared to best clinical practice PCV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a widespread accepted platform for preservation and evaluation of donor lungs prior to lung transplantation (LTx). Standard lungs are ventilated using volume-controlled ventilation (VCV). We investigated the effects of flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) in a large animal EVLP model. Fourteen porcine lungs were mounted on EVLP after a warm ischemic interval of 2 h and randomized in two groups (n = 7/group). In VCV, 7 grafts were conventionally ventilated and in FCV, 7 grafts were ventilated by flow-controlled ventilation. EVLP physiologic parameters (compliance, pulmonary vascular resistance and oxygenation) were recorded hourly. After 6 h of EVLP, broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) was performed and biopsies for wet-to-dry weight (W/D) ratio and histology were taken. The left lung was inflated, frozen in liquid nitrogen vapors and scanned with computed tomography (CT) to assess regional distribution of Hounsfield units (HU). RESULTS All lungs endured 6 h of EVLP. Oxygenation was better in FCV compared to VCV (p = 0.01) and the decrease in lung compliance was less in FCV (p = 0.03). W/D ratio, pathology and BAL samples did not differ between both groups (p = 0.16, p = 0.55 and p = 0.62). Overall, CT densities tended to be less pronounced in FCV (p = 0.05). Distribution of CT densities revealed a higher proportion of well-aerated lung parts in FCV compared to VCV (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS FCV in pulmonary grafts mounted on EVLP is feasible and leads to improved oxygenation and alveolar recruitment. This ventilation strategy might prolong EVLP over time, with less risk for volutrauma and atelectrauma.

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2020; 64:481-488. [PMID: 31828755 DOI: 10.1111/aas.13526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2019] [Revised: 11/04/2019] [Accepted: 11/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) is a new ventilation mode that provides constant inspiratory and expiratory flow. FCV was shown to improve gas exchange and lung recruitment in porcine models of healthy and injured ventilated lungs. The primary aim of our study was to verify the influences of FCV on gas exchange, respiratory mechanics and haemodynamic variables in mechanically ventilated lung-healthy patients. METHODS After obtaining ethical approval and informed consent, we measured arterial blood gases, respiratory and haemodynamic variables during volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) and FCV in 20 consecutive patients before they underwent abdominal surgery. After baseline (BL) ventilation, patients were randomly assigned to either BL-VCV-FCV or BL-FCV-VCV. Thereby, BL ventilation settings were kept, except for the ventilation mode-related differences (FCV is supposed to be used with an I:E ratio of 1:1). RESULTS Compared to BL and VCV, PaO2 was higher [PaO2 : FCV: 38.2 (7.1), BL ventilation: 35.0 (5.8), VCV: 35.2 (7.0) kPa, P < .001] and PaCO2 lower [PaCO2 : FCV: 4.8 (0.5), BL ventilation: 5.1 (0.5), VCV: 5.1 (0.5) kPa, P < .001] during FCV. With comparable plateau pressure [BL: 14.9 (1.9), VCV: 15.3 (1.6), FCV: 15.2 (1.5) cm H2 O), P = .185], tracheal mean pressure was higher during FCV [BL: 10.2 (1.1), VCV: 10.4 (0.7), FCV: 11.5 (1.0) cm H2 O, P < .001]. Haemodynamic variables did not differ between ventilation phases. CONCLUSION Flow-controlled ventilation improves oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination within a short time, compared to VCV with identical tidal volume, inspiratory plateau pressure and end-expiratory pressure.
