Development of clinical tools to estimate the breathing effort during high-flow oxygen therapy: A multicenter cohort study. Pulmonology 2024:S2531-0437(24)00054-0. [PMID: 38760225 DOI: 10.1016/j.pulmoe.2024.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Quantifying breathing effort in non-intubated patients is important but difficult. We aimed to develop two models to estimate it in patients treated with high-flow oxygen therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the data of 260 patients from previous studies who received high-flow oxygen therapy. Their breathing effort was measured as the maximal deflection of esophageal pressure (ΔPes). We developed a multivariable linear regression model to estimate ΔPes (in cmH2O) and a multivariable logistic regression model to predict the risk of ΔPes being >10 cmH2O. Candidate predictors included age, sex, diagnosis of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), respiratory rate, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, the results of arterial blood gas analysis, including base excess concentration (BEa) and the ratio of arterial tension to the inspiratory fraction of oxygen (PaO2:FiO2), and the product term between COVID-19 and PaO2:FiO2. RESULTS We found that ΔPes can be estimated from the presence or absence of COVID-19, BEa, respiratory rate, PaO2:FiO2, and the product term between COVID-19 and PaO2:FiO2. The adjusted R2 was 0.39. The risk of ΔPes being >10 cmH2O can be predicted from BEa, respiratory rate, and PaO2:FiO2. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.79 (0.73-0.85). We called these two models BREF, where BREF stands for BReathing EFfort and the three common predictors: BEa (B), respiratory rate (RE), and PaO2:FiO2 (F). CONCLUSIONS We developed two models to estimate the breathing effort of patients on high-flow oxygen therapy. Our initial findings are promising and suggest that these models merit further evaluation.

Abstract
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) facilitates the reduction of mechanical ventilation (MV) support in acute respiratory failure. Contrary to increasing evidence regarding its initiation, the optimal timing of VV ECMO weaning in interaction with MV weaning is undetermined. In this retrospective study, 47 patients who received VV ECMO between 2013 and 2021 and survived ≥1 day after ECMO cessation were divided according to their MV status before ECMO removal: 28 patients were classified into an "ECMO weaning during assisted MV/spontaneous breathing" group and 19 into an "ECMO weaning during controlled MV" group. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation duration was longer in the "assisted MV/spontaneous breathing" group (17 [Interquartile range (IQR) = 11-35] vs. 6 [5-11] days, p < 0.001). These patients had a longer intensive care unit (ICU) stay after ECMO start (48 [29-66] vs. 31 [15-40] days, p = 0.01). No significant differences were found for MV duration after ECMO start (30 [19-45] vs. 19 [12-30] days, p = 0.06) and further ICU survival (86% vs. 89%, p ≥ 0.9). There was a trend toward more patients with mechanical ECMO complications in the "assisted MV/spontaneous breathing" group (57% vs. 32%, p = 0.08). Thus, our results suggest a possible benefit of early ECMO weaning during controlled MV.

Abstract
Advanced respiratory monitoring encompasses a diverse range of mini- or noninvasive tools used to evaluate various aspects of respiratory function in patients experiencing acute respiratory failure, including those requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Among these techniques, key modalities include esophageal pressure measurement (including derived pressures), lung and respiratory muscle ultrasounds, electrical impedance tomography, the monitoring of diaphragm electrical activity, and assessment of flow index. These tools play a critical role in assessing essential parameters such as lung recruitment and overdistention, lung aeration and morphology, ventilation/perfusion distribution, inspiratory effort, respiratory drive, respiratory muscle contraction, and patient-ventilator synchrony. In contrast to conventional methods, advanced respiratory monitoring offers a deeper understanding of pathological changes in lung aeration caused by underlying diseases. Moreover, it allows for meticulous tracking of responses to therapeutic interventions, aiding in the development of personalized respiratory support strategies aimed at preserving lung function and respiratory muscle integrity. The integration of advanced respiratory monitoring represents a significant advancement in the clinical management of acute respiratory failure. It serves as a cornerstone in scenarios where treatment strategies rely on tailored approaches, empowering clinicians to make informed decisions about intervention selection and adjustment. By enabling real-time assessment and modification of respiratory support, advanced monitoring not only optimizes care for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome but also contributes to improved outcomes and enhanced patient safety.

Flow starvation during square-flow assisted ventilation detected by supervised deep learning techniques. Crit Care 2024; 28:75. [PMID: 38486268 PMCID: PMC10938655 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-024-04845-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Flow starvation is a type of patient-ventilator asynchrony that occurs when gas delivery does not fully meet the patients' ventilatory demand due to an insufficient airflow and/or a high inspiratory effort, and it is usually identified by visual inspection of airway pressure waveform. Clinical diagnosis is cumbersome and prone to underdiagnosis, being an opportunity for artificial intelligence. Our objective is to develop a supervised artificial intelligence algorithm for identifying airway pressure deformation during square-flow assisted ventilation and patient-triggered breaths. METHODS Multicenter, observational study. Adult critically ill patients under mechanical ventilation > 24 h on square-flow assisted ventilation were included. As the reference, 5 intensive care experts classified airway pressure deformation severity. Convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network models were trained and evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score. In a subgroup of patients with esophageal pressure measurement (ΔPes), we analyzed the association between the intensity of the inspiratory effort and the airway pressure deformation. RESULTS 6428 breaths from 28 patients were analyzed, 42% were classified as having normal-mild, 23% moderate, and 34% severe airway pressure deformation. The accuracy of recurrent neural network algorithm and convolutional neural network were 87.9% [87.6-88.3], and 86.8% [86.6-87.4], respectively. Double triggering appeared in 8.8% of breaths, always in the presence of severe airway pressure deformation. The subgroup analysis demonstrated that 74.4% of breaths classified as severe airway pressure deformation had a ΔPes > 10 cmH2O and 37.2% a ΔPes > 15 cmH2O. CONCLUSIONS Recurrent neural network model appears excellent to identify airway pressure deformation due to flow starvation. It could be used as a real-time, 24-h bedside monitoring tool to minimize unrecognized periods of inappropriate patient-ventilator interaction.

Noninvasive Electromagnetic Phrenic Nerve Stimulation in Critically Ill Patients: A Feasibility Study. Chest 2024:S0012-3692(24)00271-X. [PMID: 38403186 DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.02.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Electromagnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve induces diaphragm contractions, but no coils for clinical use have been available. We recently demonstrated the feasibility of ventilation using bilateral transcutaneous noninvasive electromagnetic phrenic nerve stimulation (NEPNS) before surgery in lung-healthy patients with healthy weight in a dose-dependent manner. RESEARCH QUESTION Is NEPNS feasible in critically ill patients in an ICU setting? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This feasibility nonrandomized controlled study aimed to enroll patients within 36 h of intubation who were expected to remain ventilated for ≥ 72 h. The intervention group received 15-min bilateral transcutaneous NEPNS bid, whereas the control group received standard care. If sufficient, NEPNS was used without pressure support to ventilate the patient; pressure support was added if necessary to ventilate the patient adequately. The primary outcome was feasibility, measured as time to find the optimal stimulation position. Further end points were sessions performed according to the protocol or allowing a next-day catch-up session and tidal volume achieved with stimulation reaching only 3 to 6 mL/kg ideal body weight (IBW). A secondary end point was expiratory diaphragm thickness measured with ultrasound from days 1 to 10 (or extubation). RESULTS The revised European Union regulation mandated reapproval of medical devices, prematurely halting the study. Eleven patients (five in the intervention group, six in the control group) were enrolled. The median time to find an adequate stimulation position was 23 s (interquartile range, 12-62 s). The intervention bid was executed in 87% of patients, and 92% of patients including a next-day catch-up session. Ventilation with 3 to 6 mL/kg IBW was achieved in 732 of 1,701 stimulations (43.0%) with stimulation only and in 2,511 of 4,036 stimulations (62.2%) with additional pressure support. A decrease in diaphragm thickness was prevented by bilateral NEPNS (P = .034) until day 10. INTERPRETATION Bilateral transcutaneous NEPNS was feasible in the ICU setting with the potential benefit of preventing diaphragm atrophy during mechanical ventilation. NEPNS ventilation effectiveness needs further assessment. TRIAL REGISTRY ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT05238753; URL: www. CLINICALTRIALS gov.

A High Respiratory Drive Is Associated with Weaning Failure in Patients with COVID-19-Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: The Role of the Electrical Activity of the Diaphragm. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1120. [PMID: 38398433 PMCID: PMC10889278 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13041120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation is the main supportive treatment of severe cases of COVID-19-associated ARDS (C-ARDS). Weaning failure is common and associated with worse outcomes. We investigated the role of respiratory drive, assessed by monitoring the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi), as a predictor of weaning failure. METHODS Consecutive, mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the ICU for C-ARDS with difficult weaning were enrolled. Blood gas, ventilator, and respiratory mechanic parameters, as well as EAdi, were recorded at the time of placement of EAdi catheter, and then after 1, 2, 3, 7, and 10 days, and compared between patients with weaning success and weaning failure. RESULTS Twenty patients were enrolled: age 66 (60-69); 85% males; PaO2/FiO2 at admission 148 (126-177) mmHg. Thirteen subjects (65%) were classified as having a successful weaning. A younger age (OR(95%CI): 0.02 (0.01-0.11) per year), a higher PaO2/FiO2 ratio (OR(95%CI): 1.10 (1.01-1.21) per mmHg), and a lower EAdi (OR(95%CI): 0.16 (0.08-0.34) per μV) were associated with weaning success. CONCLUSION In critically ill patients with moderate-severe C-ARDS and difficult weaning from mechanical ventilation, a successful weaning was associated with a lower age, a higher oxygenation, and a lower respiratory drive, as assessed at the bedside via EAdi monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with COVID-19 undergoing pressure support ventilation (PSV) with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) commonly had high respiratory drive, which could cause self-inflicted lung injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different levels of partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2) on respiratory effort in COVID-19 patients undergoing PSV with ECMO. METHODS ECMO gas flow was downregulated from baseline (respiratory rate < 25 bpm, peak airway pressure < 25 cm H2O, tidal volume < 6 mL/kg, PaCO2 < 40 mmHg) until PaCO2 increased by 5 - 10 mmHg. The pressure muscle index (PMI) and airway pressure swing during occlusion (ΔPOCC) were used to monitor respiratory effort, and they were measured before and after enforcement of the regulations. RESULTS Ten patients with COVID-19 who had undergone ECMO were enrolled in this prospective study. When the PaCO2 increased from 36 (36 - 37) to 42 (41-43) mmHg (p = 0.0020), there was a significant increase in ΔPOCC [from 5.6 (4.7-8.0) to 11.1 (8.5-13.1) cm H2O, p = 0.0020] and PMI [from 3.0 ± 1.4 to 6.5 ± 2.1 cm H2O, p < 0.0001]. Meanwhile, increased inspiratory effort determined by elevated PaCO2 levels led to enhancement of tidal volume from 4.1 ± 1.2 mL/kg to 5.3 ± 1.5 mL/kg (p = 0.0003) and respiratory rate from 13 ± 2 to 15 ± 2 bpm (p = 0.0266). In addition, the increase in PaCO2 was linearly correlated with changes in ΔPOCC and PMI (R2 = 0.7293, p = 0.0003 and R2 = 0.4105, p = 0.0460, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In patients with COVID-19 undergoing PSV with ECMO, an increase of PaCO2 could increase the inspiratory effort.

Modification of Respiratory Drive and Lung Stress by Level of Support Pressure and ECMO Sweep Gas Flow in Patients With Severe COVID-19-Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: an Exploratory Retrospective Analysis. J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2024; 38:221-229. [PMID: 38197786 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2023.09.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) often exhibit an unusually strong respiratory drive, which predisposes them to effort-induced lung injury. Careful titration of support pressure via the ventilator and carbon dioxide removal via extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may attenuate respiratory drive and lung stress. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING At a single center, a university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Ten patients with severe COVID-19-associated ARDS (CARDS) on venovenous ECMO therapy. INTERVENTIONS Assessment of the effect of titrated support pressure and titrated ECMO sweep gas flow on respiratory drive and lung stress in spontaneously breathing patients during ECMO therapy. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Airway occlusion pressure (P0.1) and the total swing of the transpulmonary pressure were determined as surrogate parameters of respiratory drive and lung stress. Ventilator-mediated elevation of support pressure decreased P0.1 but increased transpulmonary driving pressure, airway pressure, tidal volume, and end-inspiratory transpulmonary occlusion pressure. The increase in ECMO sweep gas flow lowered P0.1, transpulmonary pressures, tidal volume, and respiratory frequency linearly. CONCLUSIONS In patients with CARDS on pressure support ventilation, even moderate support pressure may lead to overassistance during assisted ventilation, which is only reflected by advanced monitoring of respiratory mechanics. Modifying carbon dioxide removal via the extracorporeal system profoundly affects respiratory effort and mechanics. Spontaneously breathing patients with CARDS may benefit from consequent carbon dioxide removal.

Pendelluft in hypoxemic patients resuming spontaneous breathing: proportional modes versus pressure support ventilation. Ann Intensive Care 2023; 13:131.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Internal redistribution of gas, referred to as pendelluft, is a new potential mechanism of effort-dependent lung injury. Neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and proportional assist ventilation (PAV +) follow the patient's respiratory effort and improve synchrony compared with pressure support ventilation (PSV). Whether these modes could prevent the development of pendelluft compared with PSV is unknown. We aimed to compare pendelluft magnitude during PAV + and NAVA versus PSV in patients with resolving acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHODS Patients received either NAVA, PAV + , or PSV in a crossover trial for 20-min using comparable assistance levels after controlled ventilation (> 72 h). We assessed pendelluft (the percentage of lost volume from the non-dependent lung region displaced to the dependent region during inspiration), drive (as the delta esophageal swing of the first 100 ms [ΔPes 100 ms]) and inspiratory effort (as the esophageal pressure-time product per minute [PTPmin]). We performed repeated measures analysis with post-hoc tests and mixed-effects models. RESULTS Twenty patients mechanically ventilated for 9 [5-14] days were monitored. Despite matching for a similar tidal volume, respiratory drive and inspiratory effort were slightly higher with NAVA and PAV + compared with PSV (ΔPes 100 ms of -2.8 [-3.8--1.9] cm H2O, -3.6 [-3.9--2.4] cm H2O and -2.1 [-2.5--1.1] cm H2O, respectively, p < 0.001 for both comparisons; PTPmin of 155 [118-209] cm H2O s/min, 197 [145-269] cm H2O s/min, and 134 [93-169] cm H2O s/min, respectively, p < 0.001 for both comparisons). Pendelluft magnitude was higher in NAVA (12 ± 7%) and PAV + (13 ± 7%) compared with PSV (8 ± 6%), p < 0.001. Pendelluft magnitude was strongly associated with respiratory drive (β = -2.771, p-value < 0.001) and inspiratory effort (β = 0.026, p < 0.001), independent of the ventilatory mode. A higher magnitude of pendelluft in proportional modes compared with PSV existed after adjusting for PTPmin (β = 2.606, p = 0.010 for NAVA, and β = 3.360, p = 0.004 for PAV +), and only for PAV + when adjusted for respiratory drive (β = 2.643, p = 0.009 for PAV +). CONCLUSIONS Pendelluft magnitude is associated with respiratory drive and inspiratory effort. Proportional modes do not prevent its occurrence in resolving ARDS compared with PSV.

Individual response in patient's effort and driving pressure to variations in assistance during pressure support ventilation. Ann Intensive Care 2023; 13:132. [PMID: 38123757 PMCID: PMC10733248 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-023-01231-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND During Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) an inspiratory hold allows to measure plateau pressure (Pplat), driving pressure (∆P), respiratory system compliance (Crs) and pressure-muscle-index (PMI), an index of inspiratory effort. This study aims [1] to assess systematically how patient's effort (estimated with PMI), ∆P and tidal volume (Vt) change in response to variations in PSV and [2] to confirm the robustness of Crs measurement during PSV. METHODS 18 patients recovering from acute respiratory failure and ventilated by PSV were cross-randomized to four steps of assistance above (+ 3 and + 6 cmH2O) and below (-3 and -6 cmH2O) clinically set PS. Inspiratory and expiratory holds were performed to measure Pplat, PMI, ∆P, Vt, Crs, P0.1 and occluded inspiratory airway pressure (Pocc). Electromyography of respiratory muscles was monitored noninvasively from body surface (sEMG). RESULTS As PSV was decreased, Pplat (from 20.5 ± 3.3 cmH2O to 16.7 ± 2.9, P < 0.001) and ∆P (from 12.5 ± 2.3 to 8.6 ± 2.3 cmH2O, P < 0.001) decreased much less than peak airway pressure did (from 21.7 ± 3.8 to 9.7 ± 3.8 cmH2O, P < 0.001), given the progressive increase of patient's effort (PMI from -1.2 ± 2.3 to 6.4 ± 3.2 cmH2O) in line with sEMG of the diaphragm (r = 0.614; P < 0.001). As ∆P increased linearly with Vt, Crs did not change through steps (P = 0.119). CONCLUSION Patients react to a decrease in PSV by increasing inspiratory effort-as estimated by PMI-keeping Vt and ∆P on a desired value, therefore, limiting the clinician's ability to modulate them. PMI appears a valuable index to assess the point of ventilatory overassistance when patients lose control over Vt like in a pressure-control mode. The measurement of Crs in PSV is constant-likely suggesting reliability-independently from the level of assistance and patient's effort.

Abstract
Despite its significant limitations, the PaO2 /FIO2 remains the standard tool to classify disease severity in ARDS. Treatment decisions and research enrollment have depended on this parameter for over 50 years. In addition, several variables have been studied over the past few decades, incorporating other physiologic considerations such as ventilation efficiency, lung mechanics, and right-ventricular performance. This review describes the strengths and limitations of all relevant parameters, with the goal of helping us better understand disease severity and possible future treatment targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safe and timely liberation from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) would be expected to reduce the duration of ECMO, the risk of complications, and costs. However, how to liberate patients from venovenous ECMO effectively remains understudied. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the current state of the evidence on liberation from venovenous ECMO? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We systematically searched for relevant publications on liberation from venovenous ECMO in Medline and EMBASE. Citations were included if the manuscripts provided any of the following: criteria for readiness for liberation, a liberation protocol, or a definition of successful decannulation or decannulation failure. We included randomized trials, observational trials, narrative reviews, guidelines, editorials, and commentaries. We excluded single case reports and citations where the full text was unavailable. RESULTS We screened 1,467 citations to identify 39 key publications on liberation from venovenous ECMO. We then summarized the data into five main topics: current strategies used for liberation, criteria used to define readiness for liberation, conducting liberation trials, criteria used to proceed with decannulation, and parameters used to predict decannulation outcomes. INTERPRETATION Practices on liberation from venovenous ECMO are heterogeneous and are influenced strongly by clinician preference. Additional research on liberation thresholds is needed to define optimal liberation strategies and to close existing knowledge gaps in essential topics on liberation from venovenous ECMO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most ventilators measure airway occlusion pressure (occlusion P0.1) by occluding the breathing circuit; however, some ventilators can predict P0.1 for each breath without occlusion. Nevertheless, few studies have verified the accuracy of continuous P0.1 measurement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of continuous P0.1 measurement compared with that of occlusion methods for various ventilators using a lung simulator. METHODS A total of 42 breathing patterns were validated using a lung simulator in combination with 7 different inspiratory muscular pressures and 3 different rise rates to simulate normal and obstructed lungs. PB980 and Dräger V500 ventilators were used to obtain occlusion P0.1 measurements. The occlusion maneuver was performed on the ventilator, and a corresponding reference P0.1 was recorded from the ASL5000 breathing simulator simultaneously. Hamilton-C6, Hamilton-G5, and Servo-U ventilators were used to obtain sustained P0.1 measurements (continuous P0.1). The reference P0.1 measured with the simulator was analyzed by using a Bland-Altman plot. RESULTS The 2 lung mechanical models capable of measuring occlusion P0.1 yielded values equivalent to reference P0.1 (bias and precision values were 0.51 and 1.06, respectively, for the Dräger V500, and were 0.54 and 0.91, respectively, for the PB980). Continuous P0.1 for the Hamilton-C6 was underestimated in both the normal and obstructive models (bias and precision values were -2.13 and 1.91, respectively), whereas continuous P0.1 for the Servo-U was underestimated only in the obstructive model (bias and precision values were -0.86 and 1.76, respectively). Continuous P0.1 for the Hamilton-G5 was mostly similar to but less accurate than occlusion P0.1 (bias and precision values were 1.62 and 2.06, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The accuracy of continuous P0.1 measurements varies based on the characteristics of the ventilator and should be interpreted by considering the characteristics of each system. Moreover, measurements obtained with an occluded circuit could be desirable for determining the true P0.1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High drive and high effort during spontaneous breathing can generate patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI) due to uncontrolled high transpulmonary and transvascular pressures, with deterioration of respiratory failure. P-SILI has been demonstrated in experimental studies and supported in recent computational models. Different treatment strategies have been proposed according to the phenotype of elastance of the respiratory system (Ers) for patients with COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the effect of three spontaneous ventilation modes on respiratory drive and muscle effort in clinical practice and their relationship with different phenotypes. This was achieved by obtaining the following respiratory signals: airway pressure (Paw), flow (V´) and volume (V) and calculating muscle pressure (Pmus). METHODS A physiologic observational study of a series of cases in a university medical-surgical ICU involving 11 mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 pneumonia at the initiation of spontaneous breathing was conducted. Three spontaneous ventilation modes were evaluated in each of the patients: pressure support ventilation (PSV), airway pressure release ventilation (APRV), and BiLevel positive airway pressure ventilation (BIPAP). Pmus was calculated through the equation of motion. For this purpose, we acquired the signals of Paw, V´ and V directly from the data transmission protocol of the ventilator (Dräger). The main physiological measurements were calculation of the respiratory drive (P0.1), muscle effort through the ΔPmus, pressure‒time product (PTP/min) and work of breathing of the patient in joules multiplied by respiratory frequency (WOBp, J/min). RESULTS Ten mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 pneumonia at the initiation of spontaneous breathing were evaluated. Our results showed similar high drive and muscle effort in each of the spontaneous ventilatory modes tested, without significant differences between them: median (IQR): P0.1 6.28 (4.92-7.44) cm H2O, ∆Pmus 13.48 (11.09-17.81) cm H2O, PTP 166.29 (124.02-253.33) cm H2O*sec/min, and WOBp 12.76 (7.46-18.04) J/min. High drive and effort were found in patients even with low Ers. There was a significant relationship between respiratory drive and WOBp and Ers, though the coefficient of variation widely varied. CONCLUSIONS In our study, none of the spontaneous ventilatory methods tested succeeded in reducing high respiratory drive or muscle effort, regardless of the Ers, with subsequent risk of P-SILI.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the literature exploring clinical applications for esophageal manometry in critically ill patients has increased. New mechanical ventilators and bedside monitors allow measurement of esophageal pressures easily at the bedside. The bedside clinician can now evaluate the magnitude and timing of esophageal pressure swings to evaluate respiratory muscle activity and transpulmonary pressures. The respiratory therapist has all the tools to perform these measurements to optimize mechanical ventilation delivery. However, as with any measurement, technique, fidelity, and accuracy are paramount. This primer highlights key knowledge necessary to perform measurements and highlights areas of both uncertainty and ongoing development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcome of Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV-ECMO) in acute respiratory failure may be influenced by patient-related factors, center expertise and modalities of mechanical ventilation (MV) during ECMO. We determined, in a medium-size ECMO center in Switzerland, possible factors associated with mortality during VV-ECMO for acute respiratory failure of various etiologies. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed all patients treated with VV-ECMO in our University Hospital from 2012 to 2019 (pre-COVID era). Demographic variables, severity scores, MV duration before ECMO, pre and on-ECMO arterial blood gases and respiratory variables were collected. The primary outcome was ICU mortality. Data were compared between survivors and non-survivors, and factors associated with mortality were assessed in univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Fifty-one patients (33 ARDS, 18 non-ARDS) were included. ICU survival was 49% (ARDS, 39%; non-ARDS 67%). In univariate analyses, a higher driving pressure (DP) at 24h and 48h on ECMO (whole population), longer MV duration before ECMO and higher DP at 24h on ECMO (ARDS patients), were associated with mortality. In multivariate analyses, ECMO indication, higher DP at 24h on ECMO and, in ARDS, longer MV duration before ECMO, were independently associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS DP on ECMO and longer MV duration before ECMO (in ARDS) are major, and potentially modifiable, factors influencing outcome during VV-ECMO.

Abstract
There is a well-recognised importance for personalising mechanical ventilation settings to protect the lungs and the diaphragm for each individual patient. Measurement of oesophageal pressure (P oes) as an estimate of pleural pressure allows assessment of partitioned respiratory mechanics and quantification of lung stress, which helps our understanding of the patient's respiratory physiology and could guide individualisation of ventilator settings. Oesophageal manometry also allows breathing effort quantification, which could contribute to improving settings during assisted ventilation and mechanical ventilation weaning. In parallel with technological improvements, P oes monitoring is now available for daily clinical practice. This review provides a fundamental understanding of the relevant physiological concepts that can be assessed using P oes measurements, both during spontaneous breathing and mechanical ventilation. We also present a practical approach for implementing oesophageal manometry at the bedside. While more clinical data are awaited to confirm the benefits of P oes-guided mechanical ventilation and to determine optimal targets under different conditions, we discuss potential practical approaches, including positive end-expiratory pressure setting in controlled ventilation and assessment of inspiratory effort during assisted modes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The clinical features of COVID-19 are highly variable. It has been speculated that the progression across COVID-19 may be triggered by excessive inspiratory drive activation. The aim of the present study was to assess whether the tidal swing in central venous pressure (ΔCVP) is a reliable estimate of inspiratory effort. METHODS Thirty critically ill patients with COVID-19 ARDS underwent a PEEP trial (0-5-10 cmH2O) during helmet CPAP. Esophageal (ΔPes) and transdiaphragmatic (ΔPdi) pressure swings were measured as indices of inspiratory effort. ΔCVP was assessed via a standard venous catheter. A low and a high inspiratory effort were defined as ΔPes ≤ 10 and >15 cmH2O, respectively. RESULTS During the PEEP trial, no significant changes in ΔPes (11 [6-16] vs. 11 [7-15] vs. 12 [8-16] cmH2O, p = 0.652) and in ΔCVP (12 [7-17] vs. 11.5 [7-16] vs. 11.5 [8-15] cmH2O, p = 0.918) were detected. ΔCVP was significantly associated with ΔPes (marginal R2 0.87, p < 0.001). ΔCVP recognized both low (AUC-ROC curve 0.89 [0.84-0.96]) and high inspiratory efforts (AUC-ROC curve 0.98 [0.96-1]). CONCLUSIONS ΔCVP is an easily available a reliable surrogate of ΔPes and can detect a low or a high inspiratory effort. This study provides a useful bedside tool to monitor the inspiratory effort of spontaneously breathing COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diaphragm ultrasound is a novel alternative to esophageal pressure measurements in the evaluation of diaphragm function and activity, but data about its reliability in a pediatric setting are lacking. We aimed to compare the esophageal pressure swing (∆Pes, gold standard) with the diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) as a measure of inspiratory effort in sedated children. Additionally, we studied the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the end-expiratory thickness of the diaphragm (DTee). DESIGN Prospective open-label non-randomized interventional physiological cohort study. SETTING Operating room in tertiary academic hospital. PATIENTS Children 28 days to 13 years old scheduled for elective surgery with general anesthesia, spontaneously breathing through a laryngeal mask airway, were eligible for inclusion. Exclusion criteria were disorders or previous surgery of the diaphragm, anticipated difficult airway or acute cardiopulmonary disease. All measurements were performed prior to surgery. INTERVENTIONS Patients were subjected to different levels of respiratory load, PEEP and anesthetic depth in a total of seven respiratory conditions. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The esophageal pressure and diaphragm thickening fraction were simultaneously recorded for five breaths at each respiratory condition. The relation between ∆Pes and DTF was studied in a mixed model. We analyzed 407 breaths in 13 patients. Both DTF (p = 0.03) and ∆Pes (p = 0.002) could detect respiratory activity, and ∆Pes and DTF were associated across respiratory conditions (p < 0.001; R2 = 31%). With increasing inspiratory load, ∆Pes increased significantly, while DTF did not (p = 0.08). Additionally, DTee did not differ significantly between 10, 5, and 0 cm H2O PEEP (p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS In spontaneously breathing sedated children and across different respiratory conditions, DTF could differentiate minimal or no inspiratory effort from substantial inspiratory effort and was associated with ∆Pes. Increased efforts resulted in higher ∆Pes but not larger DTF.

Abstract
Respiratory failure occurs with some frequency in seriously burned patients, driven by a combination of inflammatory and infection factors. Inhalation injury contributes to respiratory failure in some burn patients via direct mucosal injury and indirect inflammation. In burn patients, respiratory failure leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome, with or without inhalation injury, is effectively managed using principles evolved for non-burn critically ill patients.

Abstract
The measurement of pleural (or intrathoracic) pressure is a key element for a proper setting of mechanical ventilator assistance as both under- and over-assistance may cause detrimental effects on both the lungs and the diaphragm. Esophageal pressure (Pes) is the gold standard tool for such measurements; however, it is invasive and seldom used in daily practice, and easier, bedside-available tools that allow for rapid and continuous monitoring are greatly needed. The tidal swing of central venous pressure (CVP) has long been proposed as a surrogate for pleural pressure (Ppl); however, despite the wide availability of central venous catheters, this variable is very often overlooked in critically ill patients. In the present narrative review, the physiological basis for the use of CVP waveforms to estimate Ppl is presented; the findings of previous and recent papers that addressed this topic are systematically reviewed, and the studies are divided into those reporting positive findings (i.e., CVP was found to be a reliable estimate of Pes or Ppl) and those reporting negative findings. Both the strength and pitfalls of this approach are highlighted, and the current knowledge gaps and direction for future research are delineated.

Abstract
Advanced respiratory monitoring involves several mini- or noninvasive tools, applicable at bedside, focused on assessing lung aeration and morphology, lung recruitment and overdistention, ventilation-perfusion distribution, inspiratory effort, respiratory drive, respiratory muscle contraction, and patient-ventilator asynchrony, in dealing with acute respiratory failure. Compared to a conventional approach, advanced respiratory monitoring has the potential to provide more insights into the pathologic modifications of lung aeration induced by the underlying disease, follow the response to therapies, and support clinicians in setting up a respiratory support strategy aimed at protecting the lung and respiratory muscles. Thus, in the clinical management of the acute respiratory failure, advanced respiratory monitoring could play a key role when a therapeutic strategy, relying on individualization of the treatments, is adopted.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the effects of high respiratory effort(HRE) on spleen, kidney, intestine, and peripheral perfusion in patients with respiratory failure during mechanical ventilation. METHODS HRE was defined as a pressure muscle index (PMI) > 6 cmH2O and airway pressure swing during occlusion (ΔPOCC) > 10 cmH2O. Capillary refill time(CRT) and peripheral perfusion index (PPI) were determined when HRE occurred. The resistance indices of the snuffbox, intestine, spleen, and kidney were measured using Doppler ultrasonography simultaneously. These parameters were re-measured when the patients had normal respiratory effort (NRE) following sedation and analgesia. RESULTS A total of 33 critically ill patients were enrolled in this prospective observational study. There was a significant increase in CRT (p = 0.0345) and PPI (p < 0.0001) from HRE to NRE; meanwhile, the resistance index of the snuffbox artery decreased (p < 0.0001). Regarding splanchnic perfusion indicators, all resistance indices of the superior mesenteric artery (p = 0.0002), spleen (p < 0.0001), and kidney (p < 0.0001) decreased significantly when the patient changed from HRE status to NRE. CONCLUSIONS HRE could decrease perfusion of peripheral tissues and splanchnic organs. The status of HRE should be avoided to protect splanchnic and peripheral organs in mechanically ventilated patients.

Abstract
The increased application of mechanical ventilation, the recognition of its harms and the interest in individualization raised the need for an effective monitoring. An increasing number of monitoring tools and modalities were introduced over the past 2 decades with growing insight into asynchrony, lung and chest wall mechanics, respiratory effort and drive. They should be used in a complementary rather than a standalone way. A sound strategy can guide a reduction in adverse effects like ventilator-induced lung injury, ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction, patient-ventilator asynchrony and helps early weaning from the ventilator. However, the diversity, complexity, lack of expertise, and associated cost make formulating the appropriate monitoring strategy a challenge for clinicians. Most often, a big amount of data is fed to the clinicians making interpretation difficult. Therefore, it is fundamental for intensivists to be aware of the principle, advantages, and limits of each tool. This analytic review includes a simplified narrative of the commonly used basic and advanced respiratory monitors along with their limits and future prospective.

Abstract
We aimed to identify the threshold for P0.1 in a breath-by-breath manner measured by the Hamilton C6 on quasi-occlusion for high respiratory drive and inspiratory effort. In this prospective observational study, we analyzed the relationships between airway P0.1 on quasi-occlusion and esophageal pressure (esophageal P0.1 and esophageal pressure swing). We also conducted a linear regression analysis and derived the threshold of airway P0.1 on quasi-occlusion for high respiratory drive and inspiratory effort. We found that airway P0.1 measured on quasi-occlusion had a strong positive correlation with esophageal P0.1 measured on quasi-occlusion and esophageal pressure swing, respectively. Additionally, the P0.1 threshold for high respiratory drive and inspiratory effort were calculated at approximately 1.0 cmH2O from the regression equations. Our calculations suggest a lower threshold of airway P0.1 measured by the Hamilton C6 on quasi-occlusion than that which has been previously reported.

Abstract
Patient-ventilator asynchrony develops when the ventilator output does not match the efforts of the patient and contributes to excess work of breathing, lung injury, and mortality. Asynchronies are categorized as trigger (breath initiation), flow (delivery of the breath), and cycle (transition from inspiration to expiration). Clinicians should be skilled at ventilator waveform analysis to detect patient-ventilator asynchronies and make informed ventilator adjustments. Ventilator overdrive suppresses respiratory drive and reduces asynchrony, while other adjustments specific to the asynchrony are also useful.

Accuracy and Sensitivity of Clinical Parameters in Predicting Successful Extubation in Patients with Acute Brain Injury. Neurol Int 2022; 14:619-627. [PMID: 35893285 PMCID: PMC9332386 DOI: 10.3390/neurolint14030050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Brain injuries are frequent causes of intubation and mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy and sensitivity of clinical parameters in predicting successful extubation in patients with acute brain injury. Methods: Six hundred and forty-four patients assisted at a high-complexity hospital were recruited. Patients were divided as for successful or failed extubation. The VISAGE score, maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures, peak cough flow, and airway occlusion pressure at 0.1 s were used as predictors. Logistic regression analyses using ROC-curve identified values of accuracy and sensitivity. The Hosmer–Lemeshow test and the stepwise method calibrated the statistical model. Results: VISAGE score (odds ratio of 1.975), maximum inspiratory pressure (odds ratio of 1.024), and peak cough flow (odds ratio of 0.981) are factors consistent in distinguishing success from failure extubation. The ROC curve presented an accuracy of 79.7% and a sensitivity of 95.8%. Conclusions: VISAGE score, maximum inspiratory pressure and peak cough flow showed good accuracy and sensitivity in predicting successful extubation in patients with acute brain injury. The greater impact of VISAGE score indicates that patients’ neurological profile should be considered in association with ventilatory parameters in the decision of extubation.

Effect of Acupuncture on Diaphragm Function in Healthy Volunteers: A Pilot Clinical Study. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:6608200. [PMID: 35677369 PMCID: PMC9168091 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6608200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Introduction In western medicine, the diaphragm is the main inspiratory muscle. It is involved in the postural control of the trunk and contributes to balance performance. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the diaphragm represents a gateway between the lower and upper parts of the body, and it regulates the descending and ascending functions of the whole organism. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of acupuncture on diaphragm function. Methods A proof-of-concept, prospective, controlled, pilot trial in healthy volunteers. Respiratory rate, inspired volume, diaphragm excursion, and thickening were measured during tidal and maximal breathing at baseline and after sham or real acupuncture. Acupuncture was performed on Yanglingquan (GB34), Tai Chong (LV3), Danzhong (CV17), Geshu (BL17), and Geguan (BL46). Results Ten participants were enrolled (6 males, weight 71 ± 12 kg, height 173 ± 9 cm, BMI 21 ± 1.3 kg/m2). During tidal breathing, tidal volume, diaphragm displacement, and end-expiratory diaphragm thickness did not change with sham or real acupuncture as compared to baseline; thickening ratio was 43.5 ± 16.6 vs. 31.3 ± 14.9 (sham) vs. 30.8 ± 15.3% (baseline), p=0.1066. During breaths at vital capacity, the acupuncture group, as compared to both baseline and sham acupuncture, had a trend toward a larger tidal volume (3840 ± 690 vs. 3110 ± 880 vs. 3230 ± 750 ml, p=0.1247) and showed a significantly higher thickening ratio (270.6 ± 136.4 vs. 172.4 ± 57.4 vs. 188.6 ± 41.7%, p=0.0414). Conclusions Acupuncture significantly influenced diaphragm function in healthy volunteers, improving its inspiratory thickening fraction during breaths at vital capacity, as compared to no or sham acupuncture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe, through a narrative review, the physiologic principles underlying electrical impedance tomography, and its potential applications in managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To address the current evidence supporting its use in different clinical scenarios along the ARDS management continuum. DATA SOURCES We performed an online search in Pubmed to review articles. We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register, and clinicaltrials.gov for controlled trials databases. STUDY SELECTION Selected publications included case series, pilot-physiologic studies, observational cohorts, and randomized controlled trials. To describe the rationale underlying physiologic principles, we included experimental studies. DATA EXTRACTION Data from relevant publications were reviewed, analyzed, and its content summarized. DATA SYNTHESIS Electrical impedance tomography is an imaging technique that has aided in understanding the mechanisms underlying multiple interventions used in ARDS management. It has the potential to monitor and predict the response to prone positioning, aid in the dosage of flow rate in high-flow nasal cannula, and guide the titration of positive-end expiratory pressure during invasive mechanical ventilation. The latter has been demonstrated to improve physiologic and mechanical parameters correlating with lung recruitment. Similarly, its use in detecting pneumothorax and harmful patient-ventilator interactions such as pendelluft has been proven effective. Nonetheless, its impact on clinically meaningful outcomes remains to be determined. CONCLUSIONS Electrical impedance tomography is a potential tool for the individualized management of ARDS throughout its different stages. Clinical trials should aim to determine whether a specific approach can improve clinical outcomes in ARDS management.

Abstract
Technological advances in mechanical ventilation have been essential to increasing the survival rate in intensive care units. Usually, patients needing mechanical ventilation use controlled ventilation to override the patient’s respiratory muscles and favor lung protection. Weaning from mechanical ventilation implies a transition towards spontaneous breathing, mainly using assisted mechanical ventilation. In this transition, the challenge for clinicians is to avoid under and over assistance and minimize excessive respiratory effort and iatrogenic diaphragmatic and lung damage. Esophageal balloon monitoring allows objective measurements of respiratory muscle activity in real time, but there are still limitations to its routine application in intensive care unit patients using mechanical ventilation. Like the esophageal balloon, respiratory muscle electromyography and diaphragmatic ultrasound are minimally invasive tools requiring specific training that monitor respiratory muscle activity. Particularly during the coronavirus disease pandemic, non invasive tools available on mechanical ventilators to monitor respiratory drive, inspiratory effort, and work of breathing have been extended to individualize mechanical ventilation based on patient’s needs. This review aims to identify the conceptual definitions of respiratory drive, inspiratory effort, and work of breathing and to identify non invasive maneuvers available on intensive care ventilators to measure these parameters. The literature highlights that although respiratory drive, inspiratory effort, and work of breathing are intuitive concepts, even distinguished authors disagree on their definitions.

Abstract
Maintaining spontaneous breathing has both potentially beneficial and deleterious consequences in patients with acute respiratory failure, depending on the balance that can be obtained between the protecting and damaging effects on the lungs and the diaphragm. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is an assist mode, which supplies the respiratory system with a pressure proportional to the integral of the electrical activity of the diaphragm. This proportional mode of ventilation has the theoretical potential to deliver lung- and respiratory-muscle-protective ventilation by preserving the physiologic defense mechanisms against both lung overdistention and ventilator overassistance, as well as reducing the incidence of diaphragm disuse atrophy while maintaining patient–ventilator synchrony. This narrative review presents an overview of NAVA technology, its basic principles, the different methods to set the assist level and the findings of experimental and clinical studies which focused on lung and diaphragm protection, machine–patient interaction and preservation of breathing pattern variability. A summary of the findings of the available clinical trials which investigate the use of NAVA in acute respiratory failure will also be presented and discussed.

COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2022; 215:106601.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous breathing (SB) effort during mechanical ventilation (MV) is an important metric of respiratory drive. However, SB effort varies due to a variety of factors, including evolving pathology and sedation levels. Therefore, assessment of SB efforts needs to be continuous and non-invasive. This is important to prevent both over- and under-assistance with MV. In this study, a machine learning model, Convolutional Autoencoder (CAE) is developed to quantify the magnitude of SB effort using only bedside MV airway pressure and flow waveform. METHOD The CAE model was trained using 12,170,655 simulated SB flow and normal flow data (NB). The paired SB and NB flow data were simulated using a Gaussian Effort Model (GEM) with 5 basis functions. When the CAE model is given a SB flow input, it is capable of predicting a corresponding NB flow for the SB flow input. The magnitude of SB effort (SBEMag) is then quantified as the difference between the SB and NB flows. The CAE model was used to evaluate the SBEMag of 9 pressure control/ support datasets. Results were validated using a mean squared error (MSE) fitting between clinical and training SB flows. RESULTS The CAE model was able to produce NB flows from the clinical SB flows with the median SBEMag of the 9 datasets being 25.39% [IQR: 21.87-25.57%]. The absolute error in SBEMag using MSE validation yields a median of 4.77% [IQR: 3.77-8.56%] amongst the cohort. This shows the ability of the GEM to capture the intrinsic details present in SB flow waveforms. Analysis also shows both intra-patient and inter-patient variability in SBEMag. CONCLUSION A Convolutional Autoencoder model was developed with simulated SB and NB flow data and is capable of quantifying the magnitude of patient spontaneous breathing effort. This provides potential application for real-time monitoring of patient respiratory drive for better management of patient-ventilator interaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the difference in clinical features and prognosis of severe adenovirus pneumonia (SAP) in children of different ages, and analyze the risk factors for poor prognosis in children with SAP. METHODS A retrospective observational study was performed to describe the clinical features and analyze the risk factors for death and post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) in 303 children hospitalized with SAP from January 2015 through to January 2020. The participants were divided into 4 age groups: < 6 months (n = 25, 8.3%); 6-12 months (n = 98, 32.3%); 12-36 months (n = 118, 38.9%); and > 36 months (n = 62, 20.5%). RESULTS Fever rate, peak, and duration were the lowest in the < 6 months group, while no significant difference was found among other age groups. Serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the load of adenovirus were the lowest in the < 6 months group, and the highest in the 6-12 months and 12-36 months groups, respectively. A total of 80.9% of patients recovered, 3.3% of patients died, and 15.8% of patients were diagnosed PIBO. The mortality rate showed no significance between age groups. The > 36 months group had the highest recovery rate and the lowest incidence of PIBO, while the 6-12 months group had the lowest recovery rate and the highest incidence of PIBO. Independent risk factors for PIBO among all participants from the 4 groups were invasive mechanical ventilation, administration of intravenous steroids, duration of fever, and male gender. Independent risk factors for death among all participants from the 4 groups were hypercapnia, low albumin levels, and invasive mechanical ventilation. Risk factor analysis of different ages was not possible due to the limited sample size. CONCLUSIONS The morbidity, clinical features, and prognosis of SAP are affected by children's ages. Pediatric patients with a longer duration of fever, hypercapnia, low serum albumin levels, invasive mechanical ventilation, and intravenous steroids use are more likely to develop a poor prognosis in SAP, especially if the patient is male.

Abstract
The decreased immune function of patients with lung cancer has always been the focus of clinical attention. However, the stress response caused by surgery, anesthesia and pain will further reduce the body's immune function and affect the prognosis of patients to a certain extent. It was found that both protective ventilation and flurbiprofen ester pretreatment could reduce the immunosuppression caused by stress response. In this study, 120 lung cancer patients treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic radical resection were divided into group A, group B, group C and group D, which were treated with conventional mechanical ventilation, lung protective ventilation, conventional mechanical ventilation + flurbiprofen axetil and lung protective ventilation + flurbiprofen axetil, respectively. The results showed that the levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4/CD8+, and NK in groups A, B, and C were lower than T0 on T1, T2, and T3, while those indicators in group D were lower than T0 on T1 and T2 (P < 0.05). The above indicators in group D were higher than those in the other three groups on T1, T2, and T3 (P < 0.05). The above indicators were statistically significant compared with those in group A and group C, group B and group D, and group A and group B at T1, T2, and T3 (P < 0.05). The comparisons of CD3+, CD4+, CD4/CD8+, and NK among the four groups within different time groups, and the repeated - measures analysis of variance (repeated - measures ANOVA) showed that there were interactions among time, group, and between groups × within groups (P < 0.05). It was confirmed that lung protective ventilation combined with flurbiprofen axetil could alleviate the immunosuppression of patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical lung cancer, providing a new idea for clinical treatment.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the risk factors of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to thoracic trauma and the therapeutic effect of protective lung ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome complicated with thoracic trauma. Methods We collected 206 patients with thoracic trauma admitted to our hospital from September 2017 to March 2021, counted the incidence of ARDS and analyzed the risk factors of ARDS. To observe the clinical efficacy of the application of lung-protective ventilation therapy in patients with thoracic trauma combined with ARDS. Results Among 206 patients with thoracic trauma, there were 82 cases of combined ARDS, and its incidence was 39.81%. The 82 patients with ARDS were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 42 cases each, and different ventilation methods were used for treatment. The results showed that the mechanical ventilation time (MVT) was shorter in the observation group than in the control group, and the incidence of ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) and case fatality rate (CFR) were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (Pa02), arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2), and Oxygenation index (arterial partial pressure of oxygen/Fraction of inspiration O2, PaO2/FiO2) were significantly improved better in both groups after treatment; compared with the control group, patients in the observation group had higher Pa02 levels and lower PaCO2 levels at 8 h and 24 h after ventilation (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that blunt trauma, massive blood transfusion, procalcitonin (PCT) level, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level, and acute physiology and chronic health score (APACHE II) were all risk factors for Thoracic trauma with ARDS. Conclusion Risk factors for the development of ARDS after thoracic trauma are blunt injuries, massive blood transfusion, high PCT and TNF-α levels, and high APACHE II scores, which can be given active interventions in the early stage of clinical practice to improve patient prognosis. The use of protective lung ventilation therapy can improve the clinical outcome of patients with thoracic trauma combined with ARDS, which is important for improving the ventilation effect and respiratory function of patients.

Circulating Skeletal Troponin During Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation and Their Association to Diaphragmatic Function: A Pilot Study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:770408.

Abstract
Background: Patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) may need mechanical ventilation (MV), which can lead to diaphragmatic dysfunction and muscle wasting, thus making difficult the weaning from the ventilator. Currently, there are no biomarkers specific for respiratory muscle and their function can only be assessed trough ultrasound or other invasive methods. Previously, the fast and slow isoform of the skeletal troponin I (fsTnI and ssTnI, respectively) have shown to be specific markers of muscle damage in healthy volunteers. We aimed therefore at describing the trend of skeletal troponin in mixed population of ICU patients undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation and compared the value of fsTnI and ssTnI with diaphragmatic ultrasound derived parameters. Methods: In this prospective observational study we enrolled consecutive patients recovering from acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) within 24 h from the start of weaning. Every day an arterial blood sample was collected to measure fsTnI, ssTnI, and global markers of muscle damage, such as ALT, AST, and CPK. Moreover, thickening fraction (TF) and diaphragmatic displacement (DE) were assessed by diaphragmatic ultrasound. The trend of fsTnI and ssTnI was evaluated during the first 3 days of weaning. Results: We enrolled 62 consecutive patients in the study, with a mean age of 67 ± 13 years and 43 of them (69%) were male. We did not find significant variations in the ssTnI trend (p = 0.623), but fsTnI significantly decreased over time by 30% from Day 1 to Day 2 and by 20% from Day 2 to Day 3 (p < 0.05). There was a significant interaction effect between baseline ssTnI and DE [F(2) = 4.396, p = 0.015], with high basal levels of ssTnI being associated to a higher decrease in DE. On the contrary, the high basal levels of fsTnI at day 1 were characterized by significant higher DE at each time point. Conclusions: Skeletal muscle proteins have a distinctive pattern of variation during weaning from mechanical ventilation. At day 1, a high basal value of ssTnI were associated to a higher decrease over time of diaphragmatic function while high values of fsTnI were associated to a higher displacement at each time point.

PURPOSE An inspiratory hold during patient-triggered assisted ventilation potentially allows to measure driving pressure and inspiratory effort. However, muscular activity can make this measurement unreliable. We aim to define the criteria for inspiratory holds reliability during patient-triggered breaths. MATERIAL AND METHODS Flow, airway and esophageal pressure recordings during patient-triggered breaths from a multicentre observational study (BEARDS, NCT03447288) were evaluated by six independent raters, to determine plateau pressure readability. Features of "readable" and "unreadable" holds were compared. Muscle pressure estimate from the hold was validated against other measures of inspiratory effort. RESULTS Ninety-two percent of the recordings were consistently judged as readable or unreadable by at least four raters. Plateau measurement showed a high consistency among raters. A short time from airway peak to plateau pressure and a stable and longer plateau characterized readable holds. Unreadable plateaus were associated with higher indexes of inspiratory effort. Muscular pressure computed from the hold showed a strong correlation with independent indexes of inspiratory effort. CONCLUSION The definition of objective parameters of plateau reliability during assisted-breath provides the clinician with a tool to target a safer assisted-ventilation and to detect the presence of high inspiratory effort.

Abstract
Background Flow Index, a numerical expression of the shape of the inspiratory flow-time waveform recorded during pressure support ventilation, is associated with patient inspiratory effort. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of Flow Index in detecting high or low inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation and to establish cutoff values for the Flow index to identify these conditions. The secondary aim was to compare the performance of Flow index,of breathing pattern parameters and of airway occlusion pressure (P0.1) in detecting high or low inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation. Methods Data from 24 subjects was included in the analysis, accounting for a total of 702 breaths. Breaths with high inspiratory effort were defined by a pressure developed by inspiratory muscles (Pmusc) greater than 10 cmH2O while breaths with low inspiratory effort were defined by a Pmusc lower than 5 cmH2O. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of Flow Index and respiratory rate, tidal volume,respiratory rate over tidal volume and P0.1 were analyzed and compared to identify breaths with low or high inspiratory effort. Results Pmusc, P0.1, Pressure Time Product and Flow Index differed between breaths with high, low and intermediate inspiratory effort, while RR, RR/VT and VT/kg of IBW did not differ in a statistically significant way. A Flow index higher than 4.5 identified breaths with high inspiratory effort [AUC 0.89 (CI 95% 0.85–0.93)], a Flow Index lower than 2.6 identified breaths with low inspiratory effort [AUC 0.80 (CI 95% 0.76–0.83)]. Conclusions Flow Index is accurate in detecting high and low spontaneous inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation.

Abstract
Objective To probe into the influence of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on diaphragm function and postoperative outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods 84 patients with mechanical ventilation (MV) in the ICU of our hospital were selected as the research participants, including 38 patients in the control group (CG) sedated with midazolam (MZ) and 46 patients in the research group (RG) with DEX sedation. Ramsay sedation score, visual analogue scale (VAS), and restlessness score (RS) were used to evaluate their state before sedation (T0), as well as 2 h (T1), 6 h (T2), and 24 h (T3) after sedation, and the alterations of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded. Serum cortisol (Cor), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin- (IL-) 1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured before and 24 h after sedation. The end-inspiratory diaphragm thickness (DTei) and end-expiratory diaphragm thickness (DTee) were measured within 2 h after the initiation of MV and 5 min after the spontaneous breathing test (SBT), and the diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) was calculated. Finally, the ventilator weaning, MV time, and the incidence of adverse reactions (ADs) of the two groups were counted. Results T0 and T3 witnessed no distinct difference in Ramsay, VAS, and RS scores between the two arms (P > 0.05), but at T1 and T2, RG had better sedation state and lower VAS and RS scores than CG (P < 0.05), with more stable vital signs (P < 0.05). After sedation, the contents of oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in RG were lower, while DTee, DTei, and DTF were higher, versus CG (P < 0.05). Moreover, RG presented higher success rate of first ventilator weaning, less MV time, and lower incidence of ADs than CG (P < 0.05). Conclusions DEX is effective in mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU, which can protect patients against diaphragm function damage, improve the success rate of ventilator weaning, and benefit the postoperative outcome, with excellent and rapid sedation effect and less stress damage to patients.

Expiratory Pause Maneuver to Assess Inspiratory Muscle Pressure During Assisted Mechanical Ventilation: A Bench Study. Respir Care 2021; 66:1649-1656.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The generation of excessive inspiratory muscle pressure (Pmus) during assisted mechanical ventilation in patients with respiratory failure may result in acute respiratory muscle injury and/or fatigue, and exacerbate ventilator-induced lung injury. A readily available noninvasive surrogate measure of Pmus may help in titrating both mechanical ventilation and sedation to minimize these risks. This bench study explored the feasibility and accuracy of using a ventilator's expiratory pause hold function to measure Pmus across multiple operators. METHODS A standardized technique for executing a brief (<1 s) expiratory pause maneuver was used to measure the airway occlusion pressure change (Δ Paw) by using 3 simulated Pmus (Δ Pmus: 5, 10, 15 cm H2O) under (1) pressure support ventilation (0, 10, 15 cm H2O), (2) volume and pressure-regulated volume ventilation, (3) flow and pressure-triggering, and (4) varying levels of PEEP and pressure-rise time. Individual and grouped measurements were made by 4-7 clinicians on 3 different ventilators. The concordance between occlusion Δ Paw and Δ Pmus was arbitrarily set at ≤ 2 cm H2O. Data were evaluated by using analysis of variance and the Tukey-Kramer posttest. Correlation was assessed by using the Pearson R test; bias and precision were assessed by using the Bland-Altman method. Alpha was set at 0.05. RESULTS Grouped expiratory pause maneuver measurements of occlusion Δ Paw across simulated Δ Pmus, mode and level of ventilatory support showed reasonable concordance, regardless of the ventilator used. Occlusion Δ Paw accuracy frequently decreased by ∼3 cm H2O when both pressure support ventilation and Δ Pmus reached 15 cm H2O. Expiratory pause maneuver accuracy was not affected by trigger mechanism and/or sensitivity, PEEP, or the post-trigger pressurization rate. In general, only small differences in Δ Paw occurred among the individual operators. CONCLUSIONS The expiratory pause maneuver generally provided reproducible, stable approximations of Δ Pmus across ventilators and ventilator settings, and a range of simulated effort. Technique standardization produced relatively consistent results across multiple operators. The expiratory pause maneuver seemed feasible for general use in monitoring inspiratory effort during assisted mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has forced some reflections to be had surrounding the ventilatory support to be applied to certain types of patients. The model of two phenotypes, set out by Professor Gattinoni and colleagues, suggests that adequate monitoring of respiratory effort may play a key role in the treatment of respiratory failure due to COVID-19. An insufficient control of the patient’s respiratory efforts could lead to an aggravation of lung damage, mainly due to the possibility of generating Patient Self-Inflicted Lung Injury (PSILI) with a consequent aggravation of the pathological picture. Nevertheless, effectively monitoring the patient’s respiratory work, especially in nonintensive settings, is not easy. This article briefly describes some methods that allow the assessment of respiratory effort, such as the use of ultrasound and respiratory tests, which can be performed in nonintensive settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study summarized the best evidence of early active movements in mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU and applied it in the intensive care unit of our hospital to evaluate the practical effects. METHODS The best evidence for early activity in patients with mechanical ventilation in the ICU was summarized by using an evidence-based nursing method, and the results were clinically applied in the ICU. Patients who were mechanically ventilated in the ICU from January to March 2020 were selected as the control-group, and their counterparts from April to June 2020 were enrolled as the practice-group. The control-group-patients received conventional early active mobilities, and the practice-group-patients performed the best evidence-based early active mobilities. The Barthel index, muscle strength, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay between the two groups were compared. RESULTS The scores of Barthel index and muscle strength of the practice group were remarkably higher than those of the control group, and the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay were obviously shorter than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of deep vein thrombosis in practice group was substantially lower than that in control group (P<0.05), and the incidence of ICU acquired weakness in in practice group was critically lower than that in control group (P<0.05). The anxiety and depression scores of the two groups post-intervention were remarkably less than those before intervention (P<0.05), and the observation group had apparently lower scores than the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The application of the best evidence of early active movement in ICU patients with mechanical ventilation can improve the daily life ability, promote the recovery of muscle strength, reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and ICU acquired weakness, decrease the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU hospital stay, thereby improving the clinical outcomes.

This review presents the fundamental concepts of respiratory physiology and pathophysiology, with particular reference to lung mechanics and the pulmonary phenotype associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection and subsequent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pneumonia. What advances does it highlight? The review provides a critical summary of the main physiological aspects to be considered for safe and effective mechanical ventilation in patients with severe COVID‐19 in the intensive care unit.
Abstract Severe respiratory failure from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pneumonia not responding to non‐invasive respiratory support requires mechanical ventilation. Although ventilation can be a life‐saving therapy, it can cause further lung injury if airway pressure and flow and their timing are not tailored to the respiratory system mechanics of the individual patient. The pathophysiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection can lead to a pattern of lung injury in patients with severe COVID‐19 pneumonia typically associated with two distinct phenotypes, along a temporal and pathophysiological continuum, characterized by different levels of elastance, ventilation‐to‐perfusion ratio, right‐to‐left shunt, lung weight and recruitability. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology, duration of symptoms, radiological characteristics and lung mechanics at the individual patient level is crucial for the appropriate choice of mechanical ventilation settings to optimize gas exchange and prevent further lung injury. By critical analysis of the literature, we propose fundamental physiological and mechanical criteria for the selection of ventilation settings for COVID‐19 patients in intensive care units. In particular, the choice of tidal volume should be based on obtaining a driving pressure < 14 cmH2O, ensuring the avoidance of hypoventilation in patients with preserved compliance and of excessive strain in patients with smaller lung volumes and lower lung compliance. The level of positive end‐expiratory pressure (PEEP) should be informed by the measurement of the potential for lung recruitability, where patients with greater recruitability potential may benefit from higher PEEP levels. Prone positioning is often beneficial and should be considered early. The rationale for the proposed mechanical ventilation settings criteria is presented and discussed.

Abstract
Background There is a strong rationale for proposing transpulmonary pressure-guided protective ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome. The reference esophageal balloon catheter method requires complex in vivo calibration, expertise and specific material order. A simple, inexpensive, accurate and reproducible method of measuring esophageal pressure would greatly facilitate the measure of transpulmonary pressure to individualize protective ventilation in the intensive care unit. Results We propose an air-filled esophageal catheter method without balloon, using a disposable catheter that allows reproducible esophageal pressure measurements. We use a 49-cm-long 10 Fr thin suction catheter, positioned in the lower-third of the esophagus and connected to an air-filled disposable blood pressure transducer bound to the monitor and pressurized by an air-filled infusion bag. Only simple calibration by zeroing the transducer to atmospheric pressure and unit conversion from mmHg to cmH2O are required. We compared our method with the reference balloon catheter both ex vivo, using pressure chambers, and in vivo, in 15 consecutive mechanically ventilated patients. Esophageal-to-airway pressure change ratios during the dynamic occlusion test were close to one (1.03 ± 0.19 and 1.00 ± 0.16 in the controlled and assisted modes, respectively), validating the proper esophageal positioning. The Bland–Altman analysis revealed no bias of our method compared with the reference and good precision for inspiratory, expiratory and delta esophageal pressure measurements in both the controlled (largest bias −0.5 cmH2O [95% confidence interval: −0.9; −0.1] cmH2O; largest limits of agreement −3.5 to 2.5 cmH2O) and assisted modes (largest bias −0.3 [−2.6; 2.0] cmH2O). We observed a good repeatability (intra-observer, intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC: 0.89 [0.79; 0.96]) and reproducibility (inter-observer ICC: 0.89 [0.76; 0.96]) of esophageal measurements. The direct comparison with pleural pressure in two patients and spectral analysis by Fourier transform confirmed the reliability of the air-filled catheter-derived esophageal pressure as an accurate surrogate of pleural pressure. A calculator for transpulmonary pressures is available online. Conclusions We propose a simple, minimally invasive, inexpensive and reproducible method for esophageal pressure monitoring with an air-filled esophageal catheter without balloon. It holds the promise of widespread bedside use of transpulmonary pressure-guided protective ventilation in ICU patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) procedures continue to increase in type and complexity as procedural medicine makes technical advances. Patients presenting for NORA procedures are also older and sicker than ever. Commensurate with the requirements of procedural medicine, anesthetic monitoring must meet the American Society of Anesthesiologists standards for basic monitoring. RECENT FINDINGS There have been improvements in the required monitors that are used for intraoperative patient care. Some of these changes have been with new technologies and others have occurred with software refinements. In addition, specialized monitoring devises have also been introduced into NORA locations (depth of hypnosis, respiratory monitoring, point-of care ultrasound). These additions to the monitoring tools available to the anesthesiologist working in the NORA-environment push the boundaries of procedures which may be accomplished in this setting. SUMMARY NORA procedures constitute a growing percentage of total administered anesthetics. There is no difference in the monitoring standard between that of an anesthetic administered in an operating room and a NORA location. Anesthesiologists in the NORA setting must have the same compendium of monitors available as do their colleagues working in the operating suite.
