Abstract
PURPOSE 20% of patients with mechanical ventilation (MV) have a prolonged, complex weaning process, often experiencing a condition of ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW), with a severe decrease in muscle function and restricted long-term prognosis. We aimed to analyze a protocolized, systematic approach of physiotherapy in prolonged weaning patients and hypothesized that the duration of weaning from MV would be shortened. METHODS ICU patients with prolonged weaning were included before (group 1) and after (group 2) introduction of a quality control measure of a structured and protocolized physiotherapy program. Primary endpoint was the tested dynamometric handgrip strength and the Surgical Intensive Care Unit Optimal Mobilization Score (SOMS). Secondary endpoints were weaning success rate, ventilator-free days, hospital mortality, the prevalence of ICUAW, infections and delirium. RESULTS 106 patients were included. Both the SOMS and the handgrip test were significantly improved after introducing the program. Despite no differences in weaning success rates at discharge, the total length of MV was significantly shorter in group 2, which also had lower prevalence of infection and higher probability of survival. CONCLUSIONS Protocolized, systematic physiotherapy resulted in an improvement of the clinical outcome in patients with prolonged weaning. Results were objectifiable with the SOMS and the handgrip test.

Clinical Scoring and Ultrasound-Based Diaphragm Assessment in Predicting Extubation Failure in Neurointensive Care Unit: A Single-Center Observational Study. Neurocrit Care 2023; 39:690-696. [PMID: 36859489 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-023-01695-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) fail extubation despite successful weaning from mechanical ventilation. Parameters currently used in the general intensive care unit do not accurately predict extubation success in the NICU. In this study, peak cough expiratory flow rate, ultrasound-based diaphragm function assessment, and comprehensive clinical scoring systems were measured to determine whether these new variables, in isolation or combination, could predict extubation failure successfully in the NICU. METHODS All adult patients extubated after 48 h of mechanical ventilation in the NICU of a single tertiary care center were recruited into the prospective cohort. The patient's cough peak expiratory flow rate (C-PEFR), diaphragm function, and clinical scores were measured before extubation. C-PEFR was measured using a hand-held spirometer, diaphragm function (excursion, thickness fraction, and diaphragm contraction velocity on coughing) was assessed using ultrasound, and the clinical scores included the visual pursuit, swallowing, age, Glasgow Coma Scale for extubation (VISAGE) and respiratory insufficiency scale-intubated (RIS-i) scores. The patients requiring reintubation within 48 h were considered as extubation failure. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to identify predictors of extubation failure. RESULTS Of the 193 patients screened, 43 were recruited, and 15 had extubation failure (20.9%). Patients with extubation failure had higher RIS-i scores (p < 0.001) and lower VISAGE scores (p = 0.043). The C-PEFR and diaphragm function (excursions and contraction velocity on coughing) were lower in patients with extubation failure but not statistically significant. The variables with p < 0.2 in univariate analysis (RIS-i, VISAGE, and diaphragm cough velocity) were subjected to multivariate regression analysis. RIS-I score remained an independent predictor (odds ratio 3.691, 95% confidence interval 1.5-8.67, p = 0.004). In a receiver operating characteristic analysis, the area under the curve for RIS-i was 0.963. An RIS-i score of 2 or more had 94% specificity and 89% sensitivity for predicting extubation failure. CONCLUSIONS The RIS-i score predicts extubation failure in NICU patients. The addition of ultrasound-based diaphragm measurements to the RIS-i score to improve prediction accuracy needs further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prophylactic high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy can decrease the risk of extubation failure. It is frequently used in the postextubation phase alone or in combination with noninvasive ventilation. However, its physiological effects in this setting have not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to determine comprehensively the effects of HFNC applied after extubation on respiratory effort, diaphragm activity, gas exchange, ventilation distribution, and cardiovascular biomarkers. METHODS This was a prospective randomized crossover physiological study in critically ill patients comparing 1 h of HFNC versus 1 h of standard oxygen after extubation. The main inclusion criteria were mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h due to acute respiratory failure, and extubation after a successful spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). We measured respiratory effort through esophageal/transdiaphragmatic pressures, and diaphragm electrical activity (ΔEAdi). Lung volumes and ventilation distribution were estimated by electrical impedance tomography. Arterial and central venous blood gases were analyzed, as well as cardiac stress biomarkers. RESULTS We enrolled 22 patients (age 59 ± 17 years; 9 women) who had been intubated for 8 ± 6 days before extubation. Respiratory effort was significantly lower with HFNC than with standard oxygen therapy, as evidenced by esophageal pressure swings (5.3 [4.2-7.1] vs. 7.2 [5.6-10.3] cmH2O; p < 0.001), pressure-time product (85 [67-140] vs. 156 [114-238] cmH2O*s/min; p < 0.001) and ΔEAdi (10 [7-13] vs. 14 [9-16] µV; p = 0.022). In addition, HFNC induced increases in end-expiratory lung volume and PaO2/FiO2 ratio, decreases in respiratory rate and ventilatory ratio, while no changes were observed in systemic hemodynamics, Troponin T, or in amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic application of HFNC after extubation provides substantial respiratory support and unloads respiratory muscles. Trial registration January 15, 2021. NCT04711759.

Abstract
Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is one of the most common causes of muscle atrophy and functional disability in critically ill intensive care patients. Clinical examination, manual muscle strength testing and monitoring are frequently hampered by sedation, delirium and cognitive impairment. Many different attempts have been made to evaluate alternative compliance-independent methods, such as muscle biopsies, nerve conduction studies, electromyography and serum biomarkers. However, they are invasive, time-consuming and often require special expertise to perform, making them vastly impractical for daily intensive care medicine. Ultrasound is a broadly accepted, non-invasive, bedside-accessible diagnostic tool and well established in various clinical applications. Hereby, neuromuscular ultrasound (NMUS), in particular, has been proven to be of significant diagnostic value in many different neuromuscular diseases. In ICUAW, NMUS has been shown to detect and monitor alterations of muscles and nerves, and might help to predict patient outcome. This narrative review is focused on the recent scientific literature investigating NMUS in ICUAW and highlights the current state and future opportunities of this promising diagnostic tool.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In many institutions, intensive care unit (ICU) nurses assess their patients' muscle function as part of their routine bedside examination. We tested the research hypothesis that this subjective examination of muscle function prior to extubation predicts tracheostomy requirement. METHODS Adult, mechanically ventilated patients admitted to 7 ICUs at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) between 2008 and 2019 were included in this observational study. Assessment of motor function was performed every four hours by ICU nurses. Multivariable logistic regression analysis controlled for acute disease severity, delirium risk assessment through the confusion assessment method for the ICU (CAM-ICU), and pre-defined predictors of extubation failure was applied to examine the association of motor function and tracheostomy within 30 days after extubation. RESULTS Within 30 days after extubation, 891 of 9609 (9.3%) included patients required a tracheostomy. The inability to spontaneously move and hold extremities against gravity within 24 h prior to extubation was associated with significantly higher odds of 30-day tracheostomy (adjusted OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.27-1.91, p < 0.001, adjusted absolute risk difference (aARD) 2.8% (p < 0.001)). The effect was magnified among patients who were mechanically ventilated for >7 days (aARD 21.8%, 95% CI 12.4-31.2%, p-for-interaction = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS ICU nurses' subjective assessment of motor function is associated with 30-day tracheostomy risk, independent of known risk factors. Muscle function measurements by nursing staff in the ICU should be discussed during interprofessional rounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the need for specific weaning strategies in neurological patients, evidence is generally insufficient or lacking. We aimed to describe the evolution over time of weaning and extubation practices in patients with acute brain injury compared with patients who are mechanically ventilated (MV) due to other reasons. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of three prospective, observational, multicenter international studies conducted in 2004, 2010, and 2016 in adults who had need of invasive MV for more than 12 h. We collected data on baseline characteristics, variables related to management ventilator settings, and complications while patients were ventilated or until day 28. RESULTS Among the 20,929 patients enrolled, we included 12,618 (60%) who started the weaning from MV, of whom 1722 (14%) were patients with acute brain injury. In the acutely brain-injured cohort, 538 patients (31%) did not undergo planned extubation, defined as the need for a tracheostomy without an attempt of extubation, accidental extubation, and death. Among the 1184 planned extubated patients with acute brain injury, 202 required reintubation (17%). Patients with acute brain injury had a higher odds for unplanned extubation (odds ratio [OR] 1.35, confidence interval for 95% [CI 95%] 1.19-1.54; p < 0.001), a higher odds of failure after the first attempt of weaning (spontaneous breathing trial or gradual reduction of ventilatory support; OR 1.14 [CI 95% 1.01-1.30; p = 0.03]), and a higher odds for reintubation (OR 1.41 [CI 95% 1.20-1.66; p < 0.001]) than patients without brain injury. Patients with hemorrhagic stroke had the highest odds for unplanned extubation (OR 1.47 [CI 95% 1.22-1.77; p < 0.001]), of failed extubation after the first attempt of weaning (OR 1.28 [CI 95% 1.06-1.55; p = 0.009]), and for reintubation (OR 1.49 [CI 95% 1.17-1.88; p < 0.001]). In relation to weaning evolution over time in patients with acute brain injury, the risk for unplanned extubation showed a downward trend; the risk for reintubation was not associated to time; and there was a significant increase in the percentage of patients who underwent extubation after the first attempt of weaning from MV. CONCLUSIONS Patients with acute brain injury, compared with patients without brain injury, present higher odds of undergoing unplanned extubated after weaning was started, lower odds of being extubated after the first attempt, and a higher risk of reintubation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 may require tracheostomy and transfer to a weaning center. To date, data on the outcome of these patients are scarce. The objectives of this study were to determine the factors associated with time to decannulation and limb-muscle strength recovery. METHODS This was an observational retrospective study of subjects with COVID-19-related ARDS requiring tracheostomy after prolonged ventilation, who were subsequently transferred to a weaning center from April 4, 2020-May 30, 2020. RESULTS Forty-three subjects were included. Median age (interquartile range) was 61 (48-66) y; 81% were men, and median body mass index (BMI) was 30 (26-35) kg/m2. Tracheostomy was performed after a median of 19 (12-27) d of mechanical ventilation, and the median ICU length of stay prior to transfer to the weaning center was 30 (21-46) d. On admission to the weaning center, the median Medical Research Council (MRC) score was 36 (27-44). Time to decannulation was 9 (7-18) d after admission to the weaning center. The only factor independently associated with early decannulation was the MRC score on admission to the weaning center (odds ratio 1.16 [95% CI 1.06-1.31], P = .005). Two factors were independently associated with MRC gain ≥ 10: BMI (odds ratio 0.88 [95% CI 0.76-0.99], P = .045) and MRC on admission (odds ratio 0.91 [95% CI 0.82-0.98], P = .03. Three months after admission to the weaning center, 40 subjects (93%) were weaned from mechanical ventilation and 36 (84%) had returned home. CONCLUSIONS MRC score at weaning center admission predicted both early decannulation and limb-muscle strength recovery.

Mechanical ventilation in Spain, 1998-2016: Changes in the disconnection of mechanical ventilation. Med Intensiva 2022; 46:363-371. [PMID: 35570188 DOI: 10.1016/j.medine.2022.04.009] [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: 01/28/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate changes in the disconnection of mechanical ventilation in Spain from 1998 to 2016. DESIGN Post-hoc analysis of four cohort studies. AMBIT 138 Spanish ICUs. PATIENTS 2141 patients scheduled extubated. INTERVENTIONS None. VARIABLES OF INTEREST Demographics, reason for mechanical ventilation, complications, methods for disconnection, failure on the first attempt at disconnection, duration of weaning, reintubation, post-reintubation tracheotomy, ICU stay and mortality. RESULTS There was a significant increase (p < 0.001) in the use of gradual reduction of support pressure. The adjusted probability of using the gradual reduction in pressure support versus a spontaneous breathing trial has increased over time, both for the first attempt at disconnection (taking the 1998 study as a reference: odds ratio 0.99 in 2004, 0.57 in 2010 and 2.43 in 2016) and for difficult/prolonged disconnection (taking the 1998 study as a reference: odds ratio 2.29 in 2004, 1.23 in 2010 and 2.54 in 2016). The proportion of patients extubated after the first attempt at disconnection has increased over time. There is a decrease in the ventilation time dedicated to weaning (from 45% in 1998 to 36% in 2016). However, the duration in difficult/prolonged weaning has not decreased (median 3 days in all studies, p = 0.435). CONCLUSIONS There have been significant changes in the mode of disconnection of mechanical ventilation, with a progressive increase in the use of gradual reduction of pressure support. No relevant changes in outcomes have been observed.

Abstract
Background Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is common in critical illness patients and is well described. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used as a life-saving method and patients with ECMO support often suffer more risk factors of ICU-AW. However, information on the frequency and clinical characteristics of ICU-AW in patients with ECMO support is lacking. Our study aims to clarify the frequency and characteristics of ICU-AW in ECMO patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective study, ICU-AW was diagnosed when patients were discharged with a Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score <48. Clinical information was collected from the case report forms. Univariable analysis, LASSO regression analysis, and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the clinical data of individuals. Results In ECMO population, 40 (80%) patients diagnosed with ICU-AW. On univariable analysis, the ICU-AW group had higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) [13.9 (6.5-21.3) versus 21.1 (14.3-27.9), p = 0.005], longer deep sedation time [2 (0-7) versus 6.5 (3-11), p = 0.005], longer mechanical ventilation time [6.8 (2.6-9.3) versus 14.3 (6.6-19.3), p = 0.008], lower lowest albumin [26.7 (23.8-29.5) versus 22.1 (18.5-25.7), p < 0.001]. The LASSO analysis showed mechanical ventilation time, deep sedation time, deep sedation time during ECMO operation, APACHE II, and lowest albumin level were independent predictors of ICU-AW. To investigate whether ICU-AW occurs more frequently in the ECMO population, we performed a 1:1 matching with patients without ECMO and found there was no difference in the incidence of ICU-AW between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis of combined cohorts showed lowest albumin odds ratio (OR: 1.9, p = 0.024), deep sedation time (OR: 1.9, p = 0.022), mechanical ventilation time (OR: 2.0, p = 0.034), and APACHE II (OR: 2.3, p = 0.034) were independent risk factors of ICU-AW, but not ECMO. Conclusion The ICU-AW was common with a prevalence of 80% in the ECMO population. Mechanical ventilation time, deep sedation time, deep sedation time during ECMO operation, APACHE II, and lowest albumin level were risk factors of ICU-AW in ECMO population. The ECMO wasn't an independent risk factor of ICU-AW.

Abstract
Early mobilisation of mechanically ventilated patients has been suggested to be effective in mitigating muscle weakness, yet it is not a common practice. Understanding staff experiences is crucial to gain insights into what might facilitate or hinder its implementation. In this constructivist grounded theory study, data from two Scottish intensive care units were collected to understand healthcare staff experiences relating to early mobilisation in mechanical ventilation. Data included observations of mobilisation activities, individual staff interviews and two focus groups with multidisciplinary staff. Managing Risks emerged as the core category and was theorised using the concept of risk. The middle-range theory developed in this study suggests that the process of early mobilisation starts by staff defining patient status and includes a process of negotiating patient safety, which in turn enables performing accountable mobilisation within the dynamic context of an intensive care unit setting.

Abstract
RATIONALE Weaning protocols for discontinuation of invasive mechanical ventilation often mandate resolution of shock. Whether extubation while receiving vasopressors is associated with harm is uncertain. OBJECTIVES To examine whether extubation while still receiving vasopressors is associated with worse outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of adults in Calgary ICUs who received vasopressors with invasive mechanical ventilation and an extubation attempt. The primary exposure was continued vasopressor use at extubation. The primary outcome was reintubation within 96-hours. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality and ICU/hospital length of stay (LOS). We assessed associations of vasopressor use at extubation with outcomes using multivariable competing-risk (reintubation/LOS) and Cox proportional-hazards (mortality) models. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 6140 patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation while on vasopressors, 721 (11.7%) were extubated while receiving vasopressors and 5419 (88.3%) after discontinuation. Extubation on vasopressors was not, in aggregate, significantly associated with an increased hazard of reintubation (sub-hazard ratio, 1.81 [95% CI: 0.91 - 3.61], P=0.09). Both mortality (HR 1.22 [1.02-1.47], P=0.03) and time to hospital discharge (SHR for remaining hospitalized 0.78 [0.68-0.91], P<0.01) were increased. Extubation on high-dose vasopressors (>0.1 µg/kg/min) was associated with a greater hazard of reintubation (SHR 2.25 [1.01-4.98], P=0.046) compared to extubation after vasopressor discontinuation. Meanwhile, extubation on low-dose vasopressors (≤0.1 µg/kg/min) was associated with a lower mortality (HR 0.69 [0.51-0.91], P=0.01) and a shorter ICU LOS (SHR 1.34 [1.09-1.65], P<0.01), but no difference in reintubation or hospital LOS as compared to those weaned off vasopressors. CONCLUSIONS Extubation while receiving high-dose but not low-dose vasopressors was associated with an increased risk of reintubation.

Abstract
While the traditional lung function tests are used to assess lung capacity and pulmonary function, they cannot evaluate respiratory driving function and the integrity of the conduction pathway from the central nervous system to the respiratory motor neuron in the spinal cord and to the diaphragm. The inspiratory trigger is sent from the central nervous system through the phrenic nerve and drives the diaphragm to generate inspiratory movement. Therefore, phrenic nerve stimulation and diaphragmatic electromyography are two fundamental methods to assess respiratory function. There are several useful tools to assess respiratory motor system including electrical or magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation, diaphragmatic needle electromyography, and diaphragmatic ultrasound. By these means, physicians can assess current respiratory status in different neurological diseases that affect respiratory muscles, follow-up of the severity of respiratory impairment, help to predict the chance of successfully weaning from ventilatory support, and confirm clinical diagnoses such as diaphragmatic myoclonus. Although some of these tests require special training, applying these neurophysiological assessments in clinical practice is highly recommended.

Abstract
Despite continued surgical advancements in the field of cardiothoracic transplantation, post-operative complications remain a burden for the patient and the multidisciplinary team. Lesser-known complications including swallowing disorders (dysphagia), and voice disorders (dysphonia), are now being reported. Such disorders are known to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in other medical populations, however their etiology amongst the heart and lung transplant populations has received little attention in the literature. This paper explores the potential mechanisms of oropharyngeal dysphagia and dysphonia following transplantation and discusses optimal modalities of diagnostic evaluation and management. A greater understanding of the implications of swallowing and laryngeal dysfunction in the heart and lung transplant populations is important to expedite early diagnosis and management in order to optimize patient outcomes, minimize allograft injury and improve quality of life.

Abstract
Background The predictive power of extubation failure diagnosed by cough strength varies by study. Here we summarise the diagnostic power of extubation failure tested by cough strength. Methods A comprehensive online search was performed to select potentially eligible studies that evaluated the predictive power of extubation failure tested by cough strength. A manual search was also performed to identify additional studies. Data were extracted to calculate the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (LR), negative LR, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) to evaluate the predictive power of extubation failure. Results A total of 34 studies involving 45 study arms were enrolled, and 7329 patients involving 8684 tests were analysed. In all, 23 study arms involving 3018 tests measured cough peak flow before extubation. The pooled extubation failure was 36.2% and 6.3% in patients with weak and strong cough assessed by cough peak flow, respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive LR, negative LR, DOR, and AUC were 0.76 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.72–0.80), 0.75 (0.69–0.81), 2.89 (2.36–3.54), 0.37 (0.30–0.45), 8.91 (5.96–13.32), and 0.79 (0.75–0.82), respectively. Moreover, 22 study arms involving 5666 tests measured the semiquantitative cough strength score (SCSS) before extubation. The pooled extubation failure was 37.1% and 11.3%, respectively, in patients with weak and strong cough assessed by the SCSS. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive LR, negative LR, DOR, and AUC were 0.53 (95% CI: 0.41–0.64), 0.83 (0.74–0.89), 2.50 (1.93–3.25), 0.65 (0.56–0.76), 4.61 (3.03–7.01), and 0.74 (0.70–0.78), respectively. Conclusions Weak cough is associated with increased extubation failure. Cough peak flow is superior to the SCSS for predicting extubation failure. However, both show moderate power for predicting extubation failure. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13054-021-03781-5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW) has been shown to be associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and extubation failure. It is usually assessed through Medical Research Council (MRC) score, a time-consuming score performed by physiotherapists. Handgrip strength (HG) can be monitored very easily at the bedside. It has been shown to be a reproducible and reliable marker of global muscular strength in critical care patients. We sought to test if muscular weakness, as assessed by handgrip strength, was associated with extubation outcome. METHODS Prospective multicenter trial over an 18 months period in six mixed ICUs. Adults receiving mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h were eligible. Just before weaning trial, HG, Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), Peak Cough Expiratory Flow (PCEF) and Medical Research Council (MRC) score were registered. The attending physicians were unaware of the tests results and weaning procedures were conducted according to guidelines. Occurrence of unscheduled reintubation, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or high-flow nasal continuous oxygen (HFNC) because of respiratory failure within 7 days after extubation defined extubation failure. The main outcome was the link between HG and extubation outcome. RESULTS 233 patients were included. Extubation failure occurred in 51 (22.5%) patients, 39 (17.2%) required reintubation. Handgrip strength was 12 [6-20] kg and 12 [8-20] kg, respectively, in extubation success and failure (p = 0.85). There was no association between extubation outcome and MRC score, MIP or PCEF. Handgrip strength was well correlated with MRC score (r = 0.718, p < 0.0001). ICU and hospital length of stay were significantly higher in the subset of patients harboring muscular weakness as defined by handgrip performed at the first weaning trial (respectively, 15 [10-25] days vs. 11 [7-17] days, p = 0.001 and 34 [19-66] days vs. 22 [15-43] days, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION No association was found between handgrip strength and extubation outcome. Whether this was explained by the appropriateness of the tool in this specific setting, or by the precise impact of ICUAW on extubation outcome deserves to be further evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) is a noninvasive technique performed to simulate cough and remove sputum from proximal airways. To date, the effects of MI-E on critically ill patients on invasive mechanical ventilation are not fully elucidated. In this randomized crossover trial, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of MI-E combined to expiratory rib cage compressions (ERCC). METHODS Twenty-six consecutive subjects who were sedated, intubated, and on mechanical ventilation > 48 h were randomized to perform 2 sessions of ERCC with or without additional MI-E before tracheal suctioning in a 24-h period. The primary outcome was sputum volume following each procedure. Secondary end points included effects on respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, and safety. RESULTS In comparison to ERCC alone, median (interquartile range) sputum volume cleared was significantly higher during ERCC+MI-E (0.42 [0-1.39] mL vs 2.29 [1-4.67] mL, P < .001). The mean ± SD respiratory compliance improved in both groups immediately after the treatment, with the greater improvement in the ERCC+MI-E group (54.7 ± 24.1 mL/cm H2O vs 73.7 ± 35.8 mL/cm H2O, P < .001). Differences between the groups were not significant (P = .057). Heart rate increased significantly in both groups immediately after each intervention (P < .05). Additionally, a significant increase in oxygenation was observed from baseline to 1 h post-intervention in the ERCC+MI-E group (P < .05). Finally, several transitory hemodynamic variations occurred during both interventions, but these were nonsignificant and were considered clinically irrelevant. CONCLUSIONS In mechanically ventilated subjects, MI-E combined with ERCC increased the sputum volume cleared without causing clinically important hemodynamic changes or adverse events.

An Integrated Model including the ROX Index to Predict the Success of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Use after Planned Extubation: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10163513. [PMID: 34441809 PMCID: PMC8397019 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10163513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is commonly used to prevent reintubation after planned extubation. In clinical practice, there are no appropriate tools to evaluate whether HFNC therapy was successful or failed after planned extubation. In this retrospective observational study, we investigated whether the use of the ROX index was appropriate to differentiate between HFNC success and failure within 72 h after extubation and to develop an integrated model including the ROX index to improve the prediction of HFNC success in patients receiving HFNC therapy after planned extubation. Of 276 patients, 50 patients (18.1%) were reintubated within 72 h of extubation. ROX index values of >8.7 at 2 h, >8.7 at 6 h, and >10.4 at 12 h after HFNC therapy were all meaningful predictors of HFNC success in extubated patients. In addition, the integrated model including the ROX index had a better predictive capability for HFNC success than the ROX index alone. In conclusion, the ROX index at 2, 6, and 12 h could be applied to extubated patients to predict HFNC success after planned extubation. To improve its predictive power, we should also consider an integrated model consisting of the ROX index, sex, body mass index, and the total duration of ventilator care.

Abstract
The influence of peripheral muscle strength on prognosis after extubation and subsequent functional outcomes is not evident. The objectives of this study were to determine (1) whether peripheral muscle strength can be used as a predictor for patients' prognoses after extubation, and (2) whether the peripheral muscle strength before extubation is correlated with patients' subsequent ambulation ability and in-hospital mortality. This study was a prospective observational cohort study. A hand-held dynamometer was used for evaluated the muscle strength of the biceps and quadriceps right before extubation. Besides, after the patients had been transferred from the ICU to the general ward, a 2-minute walk test was performed. A total of 52 patients were enrolled in this study, and the rate of extubation failure was 15%. The muscle strength of the quadriceps was significantly correlated with the prognosis after extubation, 48% of the patients were able to ambulate after being transferred to the general ward. The overall mortality rate was 11%, and there was a significant correlation between the biceps muscle strength and in-hospital mortality. Peripheral muscle strength may serve as an important predictor of a patients' prognoses after extubation. Poor peripheral muscle strength is indicative of not only a higher risk of re-intubation but also higher in-hospital mortality and poorer functional outcomes.Trial registration: ISRCTN16370134.

Abstract
In intensive care units (ICUs), the decision to extubate is a critical one because mortality is particularly high in case of reintubation. Around 15% of patients ready to be weaned off a ventilator experience extubation failure leading to reintubation. The use of high-flow nasal oxygen and non-invasive ventilation are two alternatives of standard oxygen supplementation that may help to prevent reintubation. High-flow nasal oxygen and non-invasive ventilation, may be used to prevent reintubation in patients with low (e.g., patients without comorbidities and with short durations of mechanical ventilation) and high risk (e.g., patients >65 years and those with underlying cardiac disease, chronic respiratory disorders, and/or hypercapnia at the time of extubation) of reintubation, respectively. However, non-invasive ventilation used as a rescue therapy to treat established post-extubation respiratory failure could increase mortality by delaying reintubation, and should therefore be used very carefully in this setting. The oxygenation strategy to be applied in postoperative patients is different from the patients who are extubated in the ICUs. Standard oxygen after a surgical procedure is adequate, even following major abdominal or cardiothoracic surgery, but should probably be switched to high-flow nasal oxygen in patients with hypoxemic. Unlike in patients experiencing post-extubation respiratory failure in ICUs wherein non-invasive ventilation may have deleterious effects, it may actually improve the outcomes in postoperative patients with respiratory failure. This review discusses the different clinical situations with the aim of choosing the most effective oxygenation strategy to prevent post-extubation respiratory failure and to avoid reintubation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate changes in the disconnection of mechanical ventilation in Spain from 1998 to 2016. DESIGN Post-hoc analysis of four cohort studies. AMBIT 138 Spanish ICUs. PATIENTS 2141 patients scheduled extubated. INTERVENTIONS None. VARIABLES OF INTEREST Demographics, reason for mechanical ventilation, complications, methods for disconnection, failure on the first attempt at disconnection, duration of weaning, reintubation, post-reintubation tracheotomy, ICU stay and mortality. RESULTS There was a significant increase (p<0.001) in the use of gradual reduction of support pressure. The adjusted probability of using the gradual reduction in pressure support versus a spontaneous breathing trial has increased over time, both for the first attempt at disconnection (taking the 1998 study as a reference: odds ratio 0.99 in 2004, 0.57 in 2010 and 2.43 in 2016) and for difficult/prolonged disconnection (taking the 1998 study as a reference: odds ratio 2.29 in 2004, 1.23 in 2010 and 2.54 in 2016). The proportion of patients extubated after the first attempt at disconnection has increased over time. There is a decrease in the ventilation time dedicated to weaning (from 45% in 1998 to 36% in 2016). However, the duration in difficult/prolonged weaning has not decreased (median 3 days in all studies, p=0.435). CONCLUSIONS There have been significant changes in the mode of disconnection of mechanical ventilation, with a progressive increase in the use of gradual reduction of pressure support. No relevant changes in outcomes have been observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to identify clinical factors that predict extubation failure (reintubation) and its prognostic implications in critically ill COVID-19 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective, multi-center cohort study of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Multivariate competing risk models were employed to explore the rate of reintubation and its determining factors. RESULTS Two hundred eighty-one extubated patients were included (mean age, 61.0 years [±13.9]; 54.8% male). Reintubation occurred in 93 (33.1%). In multivariate analysis accounting for death, reintubation risk increased with age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.04 per 1-year increase, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02 -1.06), vasopressors (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.04-3.60), renal replacement (HR 2.01, 95% CI 1.22-3.29), maximum PEEP (HR 1.07 per 1-unit increase, 95% CI 1.02 -1.12), paralytics (HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.08-2.25) and requiring more than nasal cannula immediately post-extubation (HR 2.19, 95% CI 1.37-3.50). Reintubation was associated with higher mortality (36.6% vs 2.1%; P < 0.0001) and risk of inpatient death after adjusting for multiple factors (HR 23.2, 95% CI 6.45-83.33). Prone ventilation, corticosteroids, anticoagulation, remdesivir and tocilizumab did not impact the risk of reintubation or death. CONCLUSIONS Up to 1 in 3 critically ill COVID-19 patients required reintubation. Older age, paralytics, high PEEP, need for greater respiratory support following extubation and non-pulmonary organ failure predicted reintubation. Extubation failure strongly predicted adverse outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite adhering to criteria for extubation, up to 20% of intensive care patients require re-intubation, even with use of post-extubation high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). This study aims to identify independent predictors and outcomes of extubation failure in patients who failed post-extubation HFNC. METHODS We conducted a multicentre observational study involving 9 adult intensive care units (ICUs) across 5 public hospitals in Singapore. We included patients extubated to HFNC following spontaneous breathing trials. We compared patients who were successfully weaned off HFNC with those who failed HFNC (defined as re-intubation ≤7 days following extubation). Generalised additive logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for failed HFNC. RESULTS Among 244 patients (mean age: 63.92±15.51 years, 65.2% male, median APACHE II score 23.55±7.35), 41 (16.8%) failed HFNC; hypoxia, hypercapnia and excessive secretions were primary reasons. Stroke was an independent predictor of HFNC failure (odds ratio 2.48, 95% confidence interval 1.83-3.37). Failed HFNC, as compared to successful HFNC, was associated with increased median ICU length of stay (14 versus 7 days, P<0.001), ICU mortality (14.6% versus 2.0%, P<0.001) and hospital mortality (29.3% versus 12.3%, P=0.006). CONCLUSION Post-extubation HFNC failure, especially in patients with stroke as a comorbidity, remains a clinical challenge and predicts poorer clinical outcomes. Our observational study highlights the need for future prospective trials to better identify patients at high risk of post-extubation HFNC failure.

Role of sleep on respiratory failure after extubation in the ICU. Ann Intensive Care 2021; 11:71.

Abstract
Background Sleep had never been assessed immediately after extubation in patients still in the ICU. However, sleep deprivation may alter respiratory function and may promote respiratory failure. We hypothesized that sleep alterations after extubation could be associated with an increased risk of post-extubation respiratory failure and reintubation. We conducted a prospective observational cohort study performed at the medical ICU of the university hospital of Poitiers in France. Patients at high-risk of extubation failure (> 65 years, with any underlying cardiac or lung disease, or intubated > 7 days) were included. Patients intubated less than 24 h, with central nervous or psychiatric disorders, continuous sedation, neuroleptic medication, or uncooperative were excluded. Sleep was assessed by complete polysomnography just following extubation including the night. The main objective was to compare sleep between patients who developed post-extubation respiratory failure or required reintubation and the others. Results Over a 3-year period, 52 patients had complete polysomnography among whom 12 (23%) developed post-extubation respiratory failure and 8 (15%) required reintubation. Among them, 10 (19%) had atypical sleep, 15 (29%) had no deep sleep, and 33 (63%) had no rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Total sleep time was 3.2 h in median [interquartile range, 2.0–4.4] in patients who developed post-extubation respiratory failure vs. 2.0 [1.1–3.8] in those who were successfully extubated (p = 0.34). Total sleep time, and durations of deep and REM sleep stages did not differ between patients who required reintubation and the others. Reintubation rates were 21% (7/33) in patients with no REM sleep and 5% (1/19) in patients with REM sleep (difference, − 16% [95% CI − 33% to 6%]; p = 0.23). Conclusions Sleep assessment by polysomnography after extubation showed a dramatically low total, deep and REM sleep time. Sleep did not differ between patients who were successfully extubated and those who developed post-extubation respiratory failure or required reintubation.

Abstract
DESIGN This is a retrospective case series describing the feasibility and tolerability of postextubation prone positioning (PEPP) and its impact on physiologic parameters in a tertiary intensive care unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Setting and Patients. This study was conducted on patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure hospitalized in a tertiary Intensive Care Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Measurements and Results. We did not find prior reports of PEPP following prolonged intubation in the literature. Four patients underwent a total of 13 PEPP sessions following liberation from prolonged mechanical ventilation. Each patient underwent a median of 3 prone sessions (IQR: 2, 4.25) lasting a median of 1.5 hours (IQR: 1.2, 2.1). PEPP sessions were associated with a reduction in median oxygen requirements, patient respiratory rate, and reintubation rate. The sessions were well tolerated by patients, nursing, and the allied health team. CONCLUSIONS The novel practice of PEPP after liberation from prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure is feasible and well tolerated, and may be associated with favourable clinical outcomes including improvement in oxygenation and respiratory rate and a low rate of reintubation. Larger prospective studies of PEPP are warranted.

Abstract
The health system is facing a global pandemic due to coronavirus disease 2019. Emergency plans often fail to consider specific rehabilitation issues, whether inpatient or outpatient, although the World Health Organization advises the inclusion of rehabilitation professionals as soon as possible. The contingency plans of rehabilitation services must be carried out in coordination with the other healthcare areas. This review was prepared with the current available evidence on coronavirus disease 2019 and was based on the experience of a specific environment, to plan the continuity of rehabilitation care for all patients and to help rehabilitation teams in this period of lockdown and uncertain lifting of restrictions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sarcopenia is a progressive generalized decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function. This condition is highly prevalent in critically ill patients and is associated with poor outcomes in the ICU. In this review, we describe the use, evidence, and limitations of the most common validated imaging studies used to assess muscle mass in ICU, and we provide an overview of the benefits of using the sarcopenia index [(serum creatinine/serum cystatin C) × 100]) in the ICU. RECENT FINDINGS Currently, the determination of muscle mass using anthropometric measurements and serum biomarkers is unreliable. Several new techniques, including a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography scan, ultrasonography, and bioimpedance analysis, have been studied and validated for the diagnosis and prognosis of sarcopenia in the ICU. However, these techniques are often not accessible for the majority of critically ill patients. The sarcopenia index constitutes an accurate method to diagnose sarcopenia, predict ICU outcomes, and nutritional status in critically ill patients. SUMMARY Diagnosis of sarcopenia has substantial implications in ICU patients. Choosing the correct test to identify patients who may need preventive or therapeutic support for this condition will favorably impact ICU outcomes.
