Abstract
Permissive hypercapnia is commonly used in mechanically ventilated patients to avoid lung injury but its effect on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is still unclear, particularly in combination with tidal volume (Vt). Therefore, an in vivo study was performed on adult rabbits ventilated with low (9 ml/Kg, LVt group) or high (15 ml/Kg, HVt group) tidal volume (Vt) and alterations in PAP were estimated. Both groups of animals initially were ventilated with FiO2 0.3 (Normocapnia-1) followed by inhalation of enriched CO2 gas mixture (FiCO2 0.10) to develop hypercapnia (Hypercapnia-1). After 30 min of hypercapnia, animals were re-ventilated with FiO2 0.3 to develop normocapnia (Normocapnia-2) again and then with FiCO2 0.10 to develop hypercapnia (Hypercapnia-2). Systolic, diastolic and mean PAP were assessed with a catheter in the pulmonary artery. In HP-1 and HP-2, PaCO2 increased (p < 0.0001) in both LVt and HVt animals compared to baseline values. pH decreased to ≈7.2 in HP-1 and ≈7.1 in HP -2. In normocapnia, the rise in Vt from 9 to 15 ml/Kg induced an increase in static compliance (Cstat), plateau airway pressure (Pplat) and PAP. Hypercapnia increased PAP in either LVt or HVt animals without significant effect on Cstat or Pplat. A two-way ANOVA revealed that there was not a statistically significant interaction between the effects of hypercapnia and tidal volume on mPAP (p = 0.76). In conclusion, increased Vt per se induced an increase in Cstat, Pplat and PAP in normocapnia. Hypercapnia increased PAP in rabbits ventilated with low or high Vt but this effect was not long-lasting.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the role of vagus nerve activation in the protective effects
of hypercapnia in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) rats. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to either high-tidal volume or
low-tidal volume ventilation (control) and monitored for 4h. The high-tidal
volume group was further divided into either a vagotomy or sham-operated
group and each surgery group was further divided into two subgroups:
normocapnia and hypercapnia. Injuries were assessed hourly through
hemodynamics, respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. Protein concentration,
cell count and cytokines (TNF-α and IL-8) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid
(BALF), lung wet-to-dry weight and pathological changes were examined. Vagus
nerve activity was recorded for 1h. Results: Compared to the control group, injurious ventilation resulted in a decrease
in PaO2/FiO2 and greater lung static compliance, MPO
activity, enhanced BALF cytokines, protein concentration, cell count, and
histology injury score. Conversely, hypercapnia significantly improved VILI
by decreasing the above injury parameters. However, vagotomy abolished the
protective effect of hypercapnia on VILI. In addition, hypercapnia enhanced
efferent vagus nerve activity compared to normocapnia. Conclusion: These results indicate that the vagus nerve plays an important role in
mediating the anti-inflammatory effect of hypercapnia on VILI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to test the association between the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and survival to hospital discharge among mechanically ventilated patients diagnosed with sepsis in the emergency department. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of a single center trial registry. SETTING Academic medical center. PATIENTS Mechanically ventilated emergency department patients. INCLUSION CRITERIA age 18 years and older, diagnosed with sepsis in the emergency department, and mechanical ventilation initiated in the emergency department. INTERVENTIONS Arterial blood gases obtained after initiation of mechanical ventilation were analyzed. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. We tested the association between partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and survival using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for potential confounders. Sensitivity analyses, including propensity score matching were also performed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Six hundred subjects were included, and 429 (72%) survived to hospital discharge. The median (interquartile range) partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide was 42 (34-53) mm Hg for the entire cohort and 44 (35-57) and 39 (31-45) mm Hg among survivors and nonsurvivors, respectively (p < 0.0001 Wilcox rank-sum test). On multivariable analysis, a 1 mm Hg rise in partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide was associated with a 3% increase in odds of survival (adjusted odds ratio, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04) after adjusting for tidal volume and other potential confounders. These results remained significant on all sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION In this sample of mechanically ventilated sepsis patients, we found an association between increasing levels of partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and survival to hospital discharge. These findings justify future studies to determine the optimal target partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide range for mechanically ventilated sepsis patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Multiple clinical and laboratory studies have been conducted to illustrate the effects of hypercapnia in a range of injuries, and to understand the mechanisms underlying these effects. The aim of this review is to highlight and interpret information obtained from these recent reports and discuss how they may inform the clinical context. RECENT FINDINGS In the last decade, several important articles have addressed key elements of how carbon dioxide interacts in critical illness states. Among them the most important insights relate to how hypercapnia affects critical illness and include the effects and mechanisms of carbon dioxide in pulmonary hypertension, infection, inflammation, diaphragm dysfunction, and cerebral ischemia. In addition, we discuss molecular insights that apply to multiple aspects of critical illness. SUMMARY Experiments involving hypercapnia have covered a wide range of illness models with varying degrees of success. It is becoming evident that deliberate hypercapnia in the clinical setting should seldom be used, except wherever necessitated to avoid ventilator-associated lung injury. A more complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms must be established.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic patients may develop acute lung injury less often than non-diabetics; a fact that could be partially ascribed to the usage of antidiabetic drugs, including metformin. Metformin exhibits pleiotropic properties which make it potentially beneficial against lung injury. We hypothesized that pretreatment with metformin preserves alveolar capillary permeability and, thus, prevents ventilator-induced lung injury. METHODS Twenty-four rabbits were randomly assigned to pretreatment with metformin (250 mg/Kg body weight/day per os) or no medication for two days. Explanted lungs were perfused at constant flow rate (300 mL/min) and ventilated with injurious (peak airway pressure 23 cmH₂O, tidal volume ≈17 mL/Kg) or protective (peak airway pressure 11 cmH₂O, tidal volume ≈7 mL/Kg) settings for 1 hour. Alveolar capillary permeability was assessed by ultrafiltration coefficient, total protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity in BALF. RESULTS High-pressure ventilation of the ex-vivo lung preparation resulted in increased microvascular permeability, edema formation and microhemorrhage compared to protective ventilation. Compared to no medication, pretreatment with metformin was associated with a 2.9-fold reduction in ultrafiltration coefficient, a 2.5-fold reduction in pulmonary edema formation, lower protein concentration in BALF, lower ACE activity in BALF, and fewer histological lesions upon challenge of the lung preparation with injurious ventilation. In contrast, no differences regarding pulmonary artery pressure and BALF total cell number were noted. Administration of metformin did not impact on outcomes of lungs subjected to protective ventilation. CONCLUSIONS Pretreatment with metformin preserves alveolar capillary permeability and, thus, decreases the severity of ventilator-induced lung injury in this model.
