[PMID: 38512400 PMCID: PMC11078723 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-024-07362-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Assessing efficacy of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in optimizing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients to enhance respiratory system mechanics and prevent ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), compared to traditional methods. METHODS We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis, spanning literature from January 2012 to May 2023, sourced from Scopus, PubMed, MEDLINE (Ovid), Cochrane, and LILACS, evaluated EIT-guided PEEP strategies in ARDS versus conventional methods. Thirteen studies (3 randomized, 10 non-randomized) involving 623 ARDS patients were analyzed using random-effects models for primary outcomes (respiratory mechanics and mechanical power) and secondary outcomes (PaO2/FiO2 ratio, mortality, stays in intensive care unit (ICU), ventilator-free days). RESULTS EIT-guided PEEP significantly improved lung compliance (n = 941 cases, mean difference (MD) = 4.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) [2.94, 5.71]), reduced mechanical power (n = 148, MD = - 1.99, 95% CI [- 3.51, - 0.47]), and lowered driving pressure (n = 903, MD = - 1.20, 95% CI [- 2.33, - 0.07]) compared to traditional methods. Sensitivity analysis showed consistent positive effect of EIT-guided PEEP on lung compliance in randomized clinical trials vs. non-randomized studies pooled (MD) = 2.43 (95% CI - 0.39 to 5.26), indicating a trend towards improvement. A reduction in mortality rate (259 patients, relative risk (RR) = 0.64, 95% CI [0.45, 0.91]) was associated with modest improvements in compliance and driving pressure in three studies. CONCLUSIONS EIT facilitates real-time, individualized PEEP adjustments, improving respiratory system mechanics. Integration of EIT as a guiding tool in mechanical ventilation holds potential benefits in preventing ventilator-induced lung injury. Larger-scale studies are essential to validate and optimize EIT's clinical utility in ARDS management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The worldwide rising quantity of surgeries and corresponding need of mechanical ventilation implicates a rising number of patients suffering from post-operative pulmonary complications. To prevent this risks, individual mechanics of the lung should be considered when setting the parameters of mechanical ventilation. Intratidal compliance analysis based on transpulmonal pressure would provide an estimate for individual lung mechanics. The downside of such measure however, is its invasiveness. Accurate measurement requires recording of the esophageal pressure as surrogate for the actual pleural pressure. Measuring pressure at the airway opening is considerably easier, but the resulting mechanics of the respiratory system may not represent the actual lung mechanics in a straight forward fashion. APPROACH In order to evaluate if the mechanics of the lungs are represented by those resulting from analysis of the mechanics of the respiratory system we determined intratidal dynamic compliance-volume profiles of both in 23 lung-healthy mechanically ventilated patients undergoing elective surgery. We also compared the accuracy of the compliance profiles resulting from analysis of the total breath with those resulting from the analysis of inspiration data only. MAIN RESULTS When the whole breath was analyzed 54.3%, and with only inspiration data 69.6% of compliance profiles of the respiratory system matched those of the lung. With both approaches profiles of the lung and the respiratory system matched or deviated by only one neighboring step (75% whole breath, 91.3% only inspiration), and never contradicted each other. SIGNIFICANCE Compliance profiles calculated from volume and pressure data of the respiratory system are an adequate surrogate for the compliance profiles of the lungs of lung-healthy patients. Therefore, invasive assessment of esophageal pressure for achievement of intrapleural pressure is unnecessary. The compliance profiles based on inspiratory data only appear more sensitive for indicating intratidal derecruitment than those based on data of the whole breath.

Determining optimal positive end-expiratory pressure and tidal volume in children by intratidal compliance: a prospective observational study. Br J Anaesth 2021; 128:214-221. [PMID: 34686309 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2021.09.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Revised: 08/30/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data exist regarding optimal intraoperative ventilation strategies for the paediatric population. This study aimed to determine the optimal combination of PEEP and tidal volume (VT) based on intratidal compliance profiles in healthy young children undergoing general anaesthesia. METHODS During anaesthesia, infants (1 month-1 yr), toddlers (1-3 yr), and children (3-6 yr) were assigned serially to four ventilator settings: PEEP 8 cm H2O/VT 8 ml kg-1 (PEEP8/VT8), PEEP 10 cm H2O/VT 5 ml kg-1 (PEEP10/VT5), PEEP 10 cm H2O/VT 8 ml kg-1 (PEEP10/VT8), and PEEP 12 cm H2O/VT 5 ml kg-1 (PEEP12/VT5). The primary outcome was intratidal compliance profile, classified at each ventilator setting as horizontal (indicative of optimal alveolar ventilatory conditions), increasing, decreasing, or combinations of increasing/decreasing/horizontal compliance. Secondary outcomes were peak inspiratory, plateau, and driving pressures. RESULTS Intratidal compliance was measured in 15 infants, 13 toddlers, and 15 children (15/43 [35%] females). A horizontal compliance profile was most frequently observed with PEEP10/VT5 (60.5%), compared with PEEP10/VT8, PEEP8/VT8, and PEEP12/VT5 (23.3-34.9%; P<0.001). Decreasing compliance profiles were most frequent when VT increased to 8 ml kg-1, PEEP increased to 12 cm H2O, or both. Plateau airway pressures were lower at PEEP8/VT8 (16.9 cm H2O [2.2]) and PEEP10/VT5 (16.7 cm H2O [1.7]), compared with PEEP10/VT8 (19.5 cm H2O [2.1]) and PEEP12/VT5 (19.0 cm H2O [2.0]; P<0.001). Driving pressure was lowest with PEEP10/VT5 (4.6 cm H2O), compared with other combinations (7.0 cm H2O [2.0]-9.5 cm H2O [2.1]; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS VT 5 ml kg-1 combined with 10 cm H2O PEEP may reduce atelectasis and overdistension, and minimise driving pressure in the majority of mechanically ventilated children <6 yr. The effect of these PEEP and VT settings on postoperative pulmonary complications in children undergoing surgery requires further study. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04633720.
