Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pulmonary complications can increase hospital length of stay, postoperative morbidity, and mortality. Although many factors can increase the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, it is not known whether intraoperative ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch can be associated with an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after major noncardiac surgery. METHODS This study enrolled patients undergoing general anesthesia for noncardiac surgery and evaluated intraoperative V/Q distribution using the automatic lung parameter estimator technique. The assessment was done after anesthesia induction, after 1 h from surgery start, and at the end of surgery. Demographic and procedural information were collected, and intraoperative ventilatory and hemodynamic parameters were measured at each timepoint. Patients were followed up for 7 days after surgery and assessed daily for postoperative pulmonary complication occurrence. RESULTS The study enrolled 101 patients with a median age of 71 [62 to 77] years, a body mass index of 25 [22.4 to 27.9] kg/m2, and a preoperative Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) score of 41 [34 to 47]. Of these patients, 29 (29%) developed postoperative pulmonary complications, mainly acute respiratory failure (23%) and pleural effusion (11%). Patients with and without postoperative pulmonary complications did not differ in levels of shunt at T1 (postoperative pulmonary complications: 22.4% [10.4 to 35.9%] vs. no postoperative pulmonary complications:19.3% [9.4 to 24.1%]; P = 0.18) or during the protocol, whereas significantly different levels of high V/Q ratio were found during surgery (postoperative pulmonary complications: 13 [11 to 15] mmHg vs. no postoperative pulmonary complications: 10 [8 to 13.5] mmHg; P = 0.007) and before extubation (postoperative pulmonary complications: 13 [11 to 14] mmHg vs. no postoperative pulmonary complications: 10 [8 to 12] mmHg; P = 0.006). After adjusting for age, ARISCAT, body mass index, smoking, fluid balance, anesthesia type, laparoscopic procedure and surgery duration, high V/Q ratio before extubation was independently associated with the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (odds ratio, 1.147; 95% CI, 1.021 to 1.289; P = 0.02). The sensitivity analysis showed an E-value of 1.35 (CI, 1.11). CONCLUSIONS In patients with intermediate or high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications undergoing major noncardiac surgery, intraoperative V/Q mismatch is associated with the development of postoperative pulmonary complications. Increased high V/Q ratio before extubation is independently associated with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications in the first 7 days after surgery. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
PURPOSE Airway closure is a interruption of communication between larger and smaller airways. The presence of airway closure during mechanical ventilation may lead to the overestimation of driving pressure (DP), introducing errors in the assessment of respiratory mechanics and in positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting on the ventilator. Patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may exhibit the airway closure phenomenon, which can be easily diagnosed with a low-flow inflation. Prone positioning is a therapeutic manoeuver proven to reduce mortality in ARDS patients, and has been widely implemented also in patients requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO). To date, the impact of prone positioning on changes in airway closure has not been described. METHODS We present an image analysis of the pressure waveform during volume-controlled ventilation and low-flow inflations before and after prone positioning in an ARDS patient on VV ECMO. RESULTS A high airway opening pressure level (23 cmH2O) was detected in the supine position during tidal ventilation. Airway closure was confirmed by using a low-flow inflation. Prone positioning significantly attenuated airway closure, with the airway opening pressure decreasing to 13 cmH2O. After re-supination, airway closure was lower as compared with supine position at baseline (17 cmH2O). CONCLUSION Prone positioning reduced airway closure in an ARDS patient on VV ECMO support.

Abstract
Hypoxemic respiratory failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in intensive care. Frequent assessment of individual physiological characteristics and delivery of personalized mechanical ventilation (MV) settings is a constant challenge for clinicians caring for these patients. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a radiation-free bedside monitoring device that is able to assess regional lung ventilation and changes in aeration. With real-time tomographic functional images of the lungs obtained through a thoracic belt, clinicians can visualize and estimate the distribution of ventilation at different ventilation settings or following procedures such as prone positioning. Several studies have evaluated the performance of EIT to monitor the effects of different MV settings in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, allowing more personalized MV. For instance, EIT could help clinicians find the positive end-expiratory pressure that represents a compromise between recruitment and overdistension and assess the effect of prone positioning on ventilation distribution. The clinical impact of the personalization of MV remains to be explored. Despite inherent limitations such as limited spatial resolution, EIT also offers a unique noninvasive bedside assessment of regional ventilation changes in the ICU. This technology offers the possibility of a continuous, operator-free diagnosis and real-time detection of common problems during MV. This review provides an overview of the functioning of EIT, its main indices, and its performance in monitoring patients with acute respiratory failure. Future perspectives for use in intensive care are also addressed.

Advanced respiratory mechanics assessment in mechanically ventilated obese and non-obese patients with or without acute respiratory distress syndrome. Crit Care 2023; 27:343. [PMID: 37667379 PMCID: PMC10476380 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04623-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Respiratory mechanics is a key element to monitor mechanically ventilated patients and guide ventilator settings. Besides the usual basic assessments, some more complex explorations may allow to better characterize patients' respiratory mechanics and individualize ventilation strategies. These advanced respiratory mechanics assessments including esophageal pressure measurements and complete airway closure detection may be particularly relevant in critically ill obese patients. This study aimed to comprehensively assess respiratory mechanics in obese and non-obese ICU patients with or without ARDS and evaluate the contribution of advanced respiratory mechanics assessments compared to basic assessments in these patients. METHODS All intubated patients admitted in two ICUs for any cause were prospectively included. Gas exchange and respiratory mechanics including esophageal pressure and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) measurements and low-flow insufflation to detect complete airway closure were assessed in standardized conditions (tidal volume of 6 mL kg-1 predicted body weight (PBW), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O) within 24 h after intubation. RESULTS Among the 149 analyzed patients, 52 (34.9%) were obese and 90 (60.4%) had ARDS (65.4% and 57.8% of obese and non-obese patients, respectively, p = 0.385). A complete airway closure was found in 23.5% of the patients. It was more frequent in obese than in non-obese patients (40.4% vs 14.4%, p < 0.001) and in ARDS than in non-ARDS patients (30% vs. 13.6%, p = 0.029). Respiratory system and lung compliances and EELV/PBW were similarly decreased in obese patients without ARDS and obese or non-obese patients with ARDS. Chest wall compliance was not impacted by obesity or ARDS, but end-expiratory esophageal pressure was higher in obese than in non-obese patients. Chest wall contribution to respiratory system compliance differed widely between patients but was not predictable by their general characteristics. CONCLUSIONS Most respiratory mechanics features are similar in obese non-ARDS and non-obese ARDS patients, but end-expiratory esophageal pressure is higher in obese patients. A complete airway closure can be found in around 25% of critically ill patients ventilated with a PEEP of 5 cmH2O. Advanced explorations may allow to better characterize individual respiratory mechanics and adjust ventilation strategies in some patients.
