Abstract
Objective.Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) produces clinical useful visualization of the distribution of ventilation inside the lungs. The accuracy of EIT-derived parameters can be compromised by the cardiovascular signal. Removal of these artefacts is challenging due to spectral overlapping of the ventilatory and cardiovascular signal components and their time-varying frequencies. We designed and evaluated advanced filtering techniques and hypothesized that these would outperform traditional low-pass filters.Approach.Three filter techniques were developed and compared against traditional low-pass filtering: multiple digital notch filtering (MDN), empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT). The performance of the filtering techniques was evaluated (1) in the time domain (2) in the frequency domain (3) by visual inspection. We evaluated the performance using simulated contaminated EIT data and data from 15 adult and neonatal intensive care unit patients.Main result.Each filter technique exhibited varying degrees of effectiveness and limitations. Quality measures in the time domain showed the best performance for MDN filtering. The signal to noise ratio was best for DLP, but at the cost of a high relative and removal error. MDN outbalanced the performance resulting in a good SNR with a low relative and removal error. MDN, EMD and MODWT performed similar in the frequency domain and were successful in removing the high frequency components of the data.Significance.Advanced filtering techniques have benefits compared to traditional filters but are not always better. MDN filtering outperformed EMD and MODWT regarding quality measures in the time domain. This study emphasizes the need for careful consideration when choosing a filtering approach, depending on the dataset and the clinical/research question.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation is associated with poor clinical outcome. Therefore, choosing the right moment for weaning and extubation is essential. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a promising innovative lung monitoring technique, but its role in supporting weaning decisions is yet uncertain. We aimed to evaluate physiological trends during a T-piece spontaneous breathing trail (SBT) as measured with EIT and the relation between EIT parameters and SBT success or failure. METHODS This is an observational study in which twenty-four adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation performed an SBT. EIT monitoring was performed around the SBT. Multiple EIT parameters including the end-expiratory lung impedance (EELI), delta Tidal Impedance (ΔZ), Global Inhomogeneity index (GI), Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBIEIT), Respiratory Rate (RREIT) and Minute Ventilation (MVEIT) were computed on a breath-by-breath basis from stable tidal breathing periods. RESULTS EELI values dropped after the start of the SBT (p < 0.001) and did not recover to baseline after restarting mechanical ventilation. The ΔZ dropped (p < 0.001) but restored to baseline within seconds after restarting mechanical ventilation. Five patients failed the SBT, the GI (p = 0.01) and transcutaneous CO2 (p < 0.001) values significantly increased during the SBT in patients who failed the SBT compared to patients with a successful SBT. CONCLUSION EIT has the potential to assess changes in ventilation distribution and quantify the inhomogeneity of the lungs during the SBT. High lung inhomogeneity was found during SBT failure. Insight into physiological trends for the individual patient can be obtained with EIT during weaning from mechanical ventilation, but its role in predicting weaning failure requires further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The respiratory rate (RR) is considered one of the most informative vital signals. A well-validated standard for RR measurement in mechanically ventilated patient is capnography; a noninvasive technique for expiratory CO2 measurements. Reliable RR measurements in spontaneously breathing patients remains a challenge as continuous mainstream capnography measurements are not available. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of RR measurement using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in healthy volunteers and intensive care unit (ICU) patients on mechanical ventilation and spontaneously breathing post-extubation. Comparator methods included RR derived from both capnography and bioimpedance electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements.
Approach: Twenty healthy volunteers wore an EIT belt and ECG electrodes while breathing through a capnometer within a 10 - 40 breaths per minute (BPM) range. Nineteen ICU patients underwent similar measurements during pressure support ventilation and spontaneously breathing after extubation from mechanical ventilation. Stable periods with regular breathing and no artefacts were selected, and agreement between measurement methods was assessed using Bland-Altman analysis for repeated measurements.
Main Result: Bland-Altman analysis revealed a bias less than 0.2 BPM, with tight limits of agreement (LOA) 1.5 BPM in healthy volunteers and ventilated ICU patients when comparing EIT to capnography. Spontaneously breathing ICU patients had wider LOA (2.5 BPM) when comparing EIT to ECG bioimpedance, but gold standard comparison was unavailable. RR measurements were stable for 91% of the time for capnography, 68% for EIT, and 64% of the ECG bioimpedance signals. After extubation, the percentage of stable periods decreased to 48% for EIT signals and to 55% for ECG bioimpedance.
Significance: In periods of stable breathing, EIT demonstrated excellent RR measurement accuracy in healthy volunteers and ICU patients. However, stability of both EIT and ECG bioimpedance RR measurements declined in spontaneously breathing patients to approximately 50% of the time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical power (MP) is the energy delivered by the ventilator to the respiratory system and combines factors related to the development of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) is a new ventilation mode using a constant low flow during both inspiration and expiration, which is hypothesized to lower the MP and to improve ventilation homogeneity. Data demonstrating these effects are scarce, since previous studies comparing FCV with conventional controlled ventilation modes in ICU patients suffer from important methodological concerns. OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess the difference in MP between FCV and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV). Secondary aims were to explore the effect of FCV in terms of minute volume, ventilation distribution and homogeneity, and gas exchange. METHODS This is a physiological study in post-cardiothoracic surgery patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the ICU. During PCV at baseline and 90 min of FCV, intratracheal pressure, airway flow and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) were measured continuously, and hemodynamics and venous and arterial blood gases were obtained repeatedly. Pressure-volume loops were constructed for the calculation of the MP. RESULTS In 10 patients, optimized FCV versus PCV resulted in a lower MP (7.7 vs. 11.0 J/min; p = 0.004). Although FCV did not increase overall ventilation homogeneity, it did lead to an improved ventilation of the dependent lung regions. A stable gas exchange at lower minute volumes was obtained. CONCLUSIONS FCV resulted in a lower MP and improved ventilation of the dependent lung regions in post-cardiothoracic surgery patients on the ICU.

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the key concepts, physiological rationale and clinical evidence for titrating positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) using transpulmonary pressure ( PL ) derived from esophageal manometry, and describe considerations to facilitate bedside implementation. RECENT FINDINGS The goal of an esophageal pressure-based PEEP setting is to have sufficient PL at end-expiration to keep (part of) the lung open at the end of expiration. Although randomized studies (EPVent-1 and EPVent-2) have not yet proven a clinical benefit of this approach, a recent posthoc analysis of EPVent-2 revealed a potential benefit in patients with lower APACHE II score and when PEEP setting resulted in end-expiratory PL values close to 0 ± 2 cmH 2 O instead of higher or more negative values. Technological advances have made esophageal pressure monitoring easier to implement at the bedside, but challenges regarding obtaining reliable measurements should be acknowledged. SUMMARY Esophageal pressure monitoring has the potential to individualize the PEEP settings. Future studies are needed to evaluate the clinical benefit of such approach.

Abstract
Surface electromyography (sEMG) can be used to measure the electrical activity of the respiratory muscles. The possible applications of sEMG span from patients suffering from acute respiratory failure to patients receiving chronic home mechanical ventilation, to evaluate muscle function, titrate ventilatory support and guide treatment. However, sEMG is mainly used as a monitoring tool for research and its use in clinical practice is still limited-in part due to a lack of standardization and transparent reporting. During this round table meeting, recommendations on data acquisition, processing, interpretation, and potential clinical applications of respiratory sEMG were discussed. This paper informs the clinical researcher interested in respiratory muscle monitoring about the current state of the art on sEMG, knowledge gaps and potential future applications for patients with respiratory failure.

Abstract
There is a need to monitor tidal volume in critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure, given its relation with adverse clinical outcome. However, quantification of tidal volume in non-intubated patients is challenging. In this proof-of-concept study, we evaluated whether ultrasound measurements of diaphragm excursion could be a valid surrogate for tidal volume in patients with respiratory failure. Diaphragm excursions and tidal volumes were simultaneously measured in invasively ventilated patients (N = 21) and healthy volunteers (N = 20). Linear mixed models were used to estimate the ratio between tidal volume and diaphragm excursion. The tidal volume-diaphragm excursion ratio was 201 mL/cm in ICU patients [95% confidence interval (CI) 161-240 mL/cm], and 361 (294-428) mL/cm in healthy volunteers. An excellent association was shown within participants (R2 = 0.96 in ICU patients, R2 = 0.90 in healthy volunteers). However, the differences between observed tidal volume and tidal volume as predicted by the linear mixed models were considerable: the 95% limits of agreement in Bland-Altman plots were ± 91 mL in ICU patients and ± 396 mL in healthy volunteers. Likewise, the variability in tidal volume estimation between participants was large. This study shows that diaphragm excursions measured with ultrasound correlate with tidal volume, yet quantification of absolute tidal volume from diaphragm excursion is unreliable.

Abstract
Rationale: Defining lung recruitability is needed for safe positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection in mechanically ventilated patients. However, there is no simple bedside method including both assessment of recruitability and risks of overdistension as well as personalized PEEP titration. Objectives: To describe the range of recruitability using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), effects of PEEP on recruitability, respiratory mechanics and gas exchange, and a method to select optimal EIT-based PEEP. Methods: This is the analysis of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from an ongoing multicenter prospective physiological study including patients with moderate-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome of different causes. EIT, ventilator data, hemodynamics, and arterial blood gases were obtained during PEEP titration maneuvers. EIT-based optimal PEEP was defined as the crossing point of the overdistension and collapse curves during a decremental PEEP trial. Recruitability was defined as the amount of modifiable collapse when increasing PEEP from 6 to 24 cm H2O (ΔCollapse24-6). Patients were classified as low, medium, or high recruiters on the basis of tertiles of ΔCollapse24-6. Measurements and Main Results: In 108 patients with COVID-19, recruitability varied from 0.3% to 66.9% and was unrelated to acute respiratory distress syndrome severity. Median EIT-based PEEP differed between groups: 10 versus 13.5 versus 15.5 cm H2O for low versus medium versus high recruitability (P < 0.05). This approach assigned a different PEEP level from the highest compliance approach in 81% of patients. The protocol was well tolerated; in four patients, the PEEP level did not reach 24 cm H2O because of hemodynamic instability. Conclusions: Recruitability varies widely among patients with COVID-19. EIT allows personalizing PEEP setting as a compromise between recruitability and overdistension. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04460859).

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
BACKGROUND The Oxylator is an automatic resuscitator, powered only by an oxygen cylinder with no electricity required, that could be used in acute respiratory failure in situations in which standard mechanical ventilation is not available or feasible. We aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of mechanical ventilation by using this automatic resuscitator in an animal model of ARDS. METHODS A randomized experimental study in a porcine ARDS model with 12 pigs randomized to the Oxylator group or the control group (6 per group) and ventilated for 4 h. In the Oxylator group, peak pressure was set at 20 cm H2O and PEEP was set at the lowest observed breathing frequency during a decremental PEEP titration. The control pigs were ventilated with a conventional ventilator by using protective settings and PEEP at the crossing point of collapse and overdistention, as indicated by electrical impedance tomography. Our end points were feasibility and safety as well as respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, and hemodynamics. RESULTS After lung injury, the mean ± SD respiratory system compliance and PaO2 /FIO2 were 13 ± 2 mL/cm H2O and 61 ± 17 mm Hg, respectively. The mean ± SD total PEEP was 10 ± 2 cm H2O and 13 ± 2 cm H2O in the control and Oxylator groups, respectively (P = .046). The mean plateau pressure was kept to < 30 cm H2O in both groups. In the Oxylator group, the tidal volume was transiently > 8 mL/kg but was 6 ± 0.4 mL/kg at 4 h, whereas the breathing frequency increased from 38 ± 4 to 48 ± 3 breaths/min (P < .001). There was no difference in driving pressure, compliance, PaO2 /FIO2 , and pulmonary shunt between the groups. The mean ± SD PaCO2 was higher in the Oxylator group after 4 h, 74 ± 9 mm Hg versus 58 ± 6 mm Hg (P < .001). There were no differences in hemodynamics between the groups, including blood pressure and cardiac output. CONCLUSIONS Short-term mechanical ventilation by using an automatic resuscitator and a fixed pressure setting in an ARDS animal model was feasible and safe.

Abstract
In critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation, expiratory muscles are recruited with high respiratory loading and/or low inspiratory muscle capacity. In this case report, we describe a previously unrecognized patient-ventilator dyssynchrony characterized by ventilator triggering by expiratory muscle relaxation, an observation that we termed expiratory muscle relaxation-induced ventilator triggering (ERIT). ERIT can be recognized with in-depth respiratory muscle monitoring as (1) an increase in gastric pressure (Pga) during expiration, resulting from expiratory muscle recruitment; (2) a drop in Pga (and hence, esophageal pressure) at the time of ventilator triggering; and (3) diaphragm electrical activity onset occurring after ventilator triggering. Future studies should focus on the incidence of ERIT and the impact in the patient receiving mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is routinely applied in mechanically ventilated patients to improve gas exchange and respiratory mechanics by increasing end-expiratory lung volume (EELV). In a recent experimental study in rats, we demonstrated that prolonged application of PEEP causes diaphragm remodeling, especially longitudinal muscle fiber atrophy. This is of potential clinical importance, as the acute withdrawal of PEEP during ventilator weaning decreases EELV and thereby stretches the adapted, longitudinally atrophied diaphragm fibers to excessive sarcomere lengths, having a detrimental effect on force generation. Whether this series of events occurs in the human diaphragm is unknown. In the current study, we investigated if short-term application of PEEP affects diaphragm geometry and function, which are prerequisites for the development of longitudinal atrophy with prolonged PEEP application. Nineteen healthy volunteers were noninvasively ventilated with PEEP levels of 2, 5, 10, and 15 cmH2O. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to investigate PEEP-induced changes in diaphragm geometry. Subjects were instrumented with nasogastric catheters to measure diaphragm neuromechanical efficiency (i.e., diaphragm pressure normalized to its electrical activity) during tidal breathing with different PEEP levels. We found that increasing PEEP from 2 to 15 cmH2O resulted in a caudal diaphragm displacement (19 [14-26] mm, P < 0.001), muscle shortening in the zones of apposition (20.6% anterior and 32.7% posterior, P < 0.001), increase in diaphragm thickness (36.4% [0.9%-44.1%], P < 0.001) and reduction in neuromechanical efficiency (48% [37.6%-56.6%], P < 0.001). These findings demonstrate that conditions required to develop longitudinal atrophy in the human diaphragm are present with the application of PEEP.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We demonstrate that PEEP causes changes in diaphragm geometry, especially muscle shortening, and decreases in vivo diaphragm contractile function. Thus, prerequisites for the development of diaphragm longitudinal muscle atrophy are present with the acute application of PEEP. Once confirmed in ventilated critically ill patients, this could provide a new mechanism for ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction and ventilator weaning failure in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Abstract
BACKGROUND A weaning trial can be considered a stress test of the cardiorespiratory system; it increases oxygen demand and thus warrants a higher cardiac index and elevated breathing effort. We hypothesized that the combination of easily performed ultrasound measurements of heart, lungs, and diaphragm would yield good diagnostic accuracy to predict extubation failure. METHODS Adult subjects ventilated for > 72 h with a successful spontaneous breathing trial were included. Ultrasound measurements of heart (left ventricular function), lungs (number of B-lines), and diaphragm thickening fraction were performed during a spontaneous breathing trial. The primary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of a holistic ultrasound approach for extubation failure. Re-intubation within 48 h was considered extubation failure. RESULTS Eighty-three subjects were included, of whom 15 (18%) were re-intubated within 48 h. The sensitivity and specificity of a holistic approach were 100% (78.2-100%) and 7.7% (2.5-17.1%), respectively, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.54. The sensitivity and specificity of diaphragm thickening fraction, using a cutoff value of < 30% for extubation failure were 86.7% (59.5-98.3%) and 25.4% (15.5-37.5%), respectively, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.61. CONCLUSIONS In subjects ventilated for > 72 h who had a successful spontaneous breathing trial, holistic ultrasound was a weak predictor for extubation failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) have been shown to improve outcomes in critically ill patients. However, in patients with brain injury, indications for intubation and mechanical ventilation are different from those of non-neurological patients, and the role of an SBT in patients with brain injury is less established. The aim of the present study was to compare key respiratory variables acquired during a successful SBT between patients with successful ventilator liberation versus failed ventilator liberation. METHODS In this prospective study, patients with brain injury (≥18 years of age), who completed a 30-min SBT, were enrolled. Airway pressure, flow, esophageal pressure, and diaphragm electrical activity (ΔEAdi) were recorded before (baseline) and during the SBT. Respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume, inspiratory muscle pressure (ΔPmus), ΔEAdi, and neuromechanical efficiency (ΔPmus/ΔEAdi) of the diaphragm were calculated breath by breath and compared between the liberation success and failure groups. Failed liberation was defined as the need for invasive ventilator assistance within 48 h after the SBT. RESULTS In total, 46 patients (51.9±13.2 years, 67.4% male) completed the SBT. Seventeen (37%) patients failed ventilator liberation within 48 h. Another 11 patients required invasive ventilation within 7 days after completing the SBT. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the success and failed groups. In-depth analysis showed similar changes in patterns and values of respiratory physiological parameters between the groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients with brain injury, ventilator liberation failure was common after successful SBT. In-depth physiological analysis during the SBT did not provide data to predict successful liberation in these patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (No. NCT02863237).

Abstract
BACKGROUND During the COVID-19 pandemic, a need for innovative, inexpensive, and simple ventilator devices for mass use has emerged. The Oxylator (CPR Medical Devices, Markham, Ontario, Canada) is an FDA-approved, fist-size, portable ventilation device developed for out-of-hospital emergency ventilation. It has not been tested in conditions of severe lung injury or with added PEEP. We aimed to assess the performance and reliability of the device in simulated and experimental conditions of severe lung injury, and to derive monitoring methods to allow the delivery of safe, individualized ventilation during situations of surge. METHODS We bench-tested the functioning of the device with an added PEEP valve extensively, mimicking adult patients with various respiratory mechanics during controlled ventilation, spontaneous breathing, and prolonged unstable conditions where mechanics or breathing effort was changed at every breath. The device was further tested on a porcine model (4 animals) after inducing lung injury, and these results were compared with conventional ventilation modes. RESULTS The device was stable and predictable, delivering a constant flow (30 L/min) and cycling automatically at the inspiratory pressure set (minimum of 20 cm H2O) above auto-PEEP. Changes in respiratory mechanics manifested as changes in respiratory timing, allowing prediction of tidal volumes from breathing frequency. Simulating lung injury resulted in relatively low tidal volumes (330 mL with compliance of 20 mL/cm H2O). In the porcine model, arterial oxygenation, CO2, and pH were comparable to conventional modes of ventilation. CONCLUSIONS The Oxylator is a simple device that delivered stable ventilation with tidal volumes within a clinically acceptable range in bench and porcine lung models with low compliance. External monitoring of respiratory timing is advisable, allowing tidal volume estimation and recognition of changes in respiratory mechanics. The device can be an efficient, low-cost, and practical rescue solution for providing short-term ventilatory support as a temporary bridge, but it requires a caregiver at the bedside.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation may have adverse effects on both the lung and the diaphragm. Injury to the lung is mediated by excessive mechanical stress and strain, whereas the diaphragm develops atrophy as a consequence of low respiratory effort and injury in case of excessive effort. The lung and diaphragm-protective mechanical ventilation approach aims to protect both organs simultaneously whenever possible. This review summarizes practical strategies for achieving lung and diaphragm-protective targets at the bedside, focusing on inspiratory and expiratory ventilator settings, monitoring of inspiratory effort or respiratory drive, management of dyssynchrony, and sedation considerations. A number of potential future adjunctive strategies including extracorporeal CO2 removal, partial neuromuscular blockade, and neuromuscular stimulation are also discussed. While clinical trials to confirm the benefit of these approaches are awaited, clinicians should become familiar with assessing and managing patients’ respiratory effort, based on existing physiological principles. To protect the lung and the diaphragm, ventilation and sedation might be applied to avoid excessively weak or very strong respiratory efforts and patient-ventilator dysynchrony.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Expiratory muscle weakness leads to difficult ventilator weaning. Maintaining their activity with functional electrical stimulation (FES) may improve outcome. We studied feasibility of breath-synchronized expiratory population muscle FES in a mixed ICU population ("Holland study") and pooled data with our previous work ("Australian study") to estimate potential clinical effects in a larger group. METHODS Holland: Patients with a contractile response to FES received active or sham expiratory muscle FES (30 min, twice daily, 5 days/week until weaned). Main endpoints were feasibility (e.g., patient recruitment, treatment compliance, stimulation intensity) and safety. Pooled: Data on respiratory muscle thickness and ventilation duration from the Holland and Australian studies were combined (N = 40) in order to estimate potential effect size. Plasma cytokines (day 0, 3) were analyzed to study the effects of FES on systemic inflammation. RESULTS Holland: A total of 272 sessions were performed (active/sham: 169/103) in 20 patients (N = active/sham: 10/10) with a total treatment compliance rate of 91.1%. No FES-related serious adverse events were reported. Pooled: On day 3, there was a between-group difference (N = active/sham: 7/12) in total abdominal expiratory muscle thickness favoring the active group [treatment difference (95% confidence interval); 2.25 (0.34, 4.16) mm, P = 0.02] but not on day 5. Plasma cytokine levels indicated that early FES did not induce systemic inflammation. Using a survival analysis approach for the total study population, median ventilation duration and ICU length of stay were 10 versus 52 (P = 0.07), and 12 versus 54 (P = 0.03) days for the active versus sham group. Median ventilation duration of patients that were successfully extubated was 8.5 [5.6-12.2] versus 10.5 [5.3-25.6] days (P = 0.60) for the active (N = 16) versus sham (N = 10) group, and median ICU length of stay was 10.5 [8.0-14.5] versus 14.0 [9.0-19.5] days (P = 0.36) for those active (N = 16) versus sham (N = 8) patients that were extubated and discharged alive from the ICU. During ICU stay, 3/20 patients died in the active group versus 8/20 in the sham group (P = 0.16). CONCLUSION Expiratory muscle FES is feasible in selected ICU patients and might be a promising technique within a respiratory muscle-protective ventilation strategy. The next step is to study the effects on weaning and ventilator liberation outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, ID NCT03453944.

Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 emerged as a serious human pathogen in late 2019, causing the disease coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The most common clinical presentation of severe COVID-19 is acute respiratory failure consistent with the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Airway, lung parenchymal, pulmonary vascular, and respiratory neuromuscular disorders all feature in COVID-19. This article reviews what is known about the effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection on different parts of the respiratory system, clues to understanding the underlying biology of respiratory disease, and highlights current and future translation and clinical research questions.

Abstract
Proportional modes of ventilation assist the patient by adapting to his/her effort, which contrasts with all other modes. The two proportional modes are referred to as neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and proportional assist ventilation with load-adjustable gain factors (PAV+): they deliver inspiratory assist in proportion to the patient’s effort, and hence directly respond to changes in ventilatory needs. Due to their working principles, NAVA and PAV+ have the ability to provide self-adjusted lung and diaphragm-protective ventilation. As these proportional modes differ from ‘classical’ modes such as pressure support ventilation (PSV), setting the inspiratory assist level is often puzzling for clinicians at the bedside as it is not based on usual parameters such as tidal volumes and PaCO2 targets. This paper provides an in-depth overview of the working principles of NAVA and PAV+ and the physiological differences with PSV. Understanding these differences is fundamental for applying any assisted mode at the bedside. We review different methods for setting inspiratory assist during NAVA and PAV+ , and (future) indices for monitoring of patient effort. Last, differences with automated modes are mentioned.

Abstract
Respiratory muscle ultrasound is used to evaluate the anatomy and function of the respiratory muscle pump. It is a safe, repeatable, accurate, and non-invasive bedside technique that can be successfully applied in different settings, including general intensive care and the emergency department. Mastery of this technique allows the intensivist to rapidly diagnose and assess respiratory muscle dysfunction in critically ill patients and in patients with unexplained dyspnea. Furthermore, it can be used to assess patient-ventilator interaction and weaning failure in critically ill patients. This paper provides an overview of the basic and advanced principles underlying respiratory muscle ultrasound with an emphasis on the diaphragm. We review different ultrasound techniques useful for monitoring of the respiratory muscle pump and possible therapeutic consequences. Ideally, respiratory muscle ultrasound is used in conjunction with other components of critical care ultrasound to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of the critically ill patient. We propose the ABCDE-ultrasound approach, a systematic ultrasound evaluation of the heart, lungs and respiratory muscle pump, in patients with weaning failure.

Abstract
Background For every day a person is dependent on mechanical ventilation, respiratory and cardiac complications increase, quality of life decreases and costs increase by > $USD 1500. Interventions that improve respiratory muscle function during mechanical ventilation can reduce ventilation duration. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility of employing an abdominal functional electrical stimulation (abdominal FES) training program with critically ill mechanically ventilated patients. We also investigated the effect of abdominal FES on respiratory muscle atrophy, mechanical ventilation duration and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay. Methods Twenty critically ill mechanically ventilated participants were recruited over a 6-month period from one metropolitan teaching hospital. They were randomly assigned to receive active or sham (control) abdominal FES for 30 min, twice per day, 5 days per week, until ICU discharge. Feasibility was assessed through participant compliance to stimulation sessions. Abdominal and diaphragm muscle thickness were measured using ultrasound 3 times in the first week, and weekly thereafter by a blinded assessor. Respiratory function was recorded when the participant could first breathe independently and at ICU discharge, with ventilation duration and ICU length of stay also recorded at ICU discharge by a blinded assessor. Results Fourteen of 20 participants survived to ICU discharge (8, intervention; 6, control). One control was transferred before extubation, while one withdrew consent and one was withdrawn for staff safety after extubation. Median compliance to stimulation sessions was 92.1% (IQR 5.77%) in the intervention group, and 97.2% (IQR 7.40%) in the control group (p = 0.384). While this pilot study is not adequately powered to make an accurate statistical conclusion, there appeared to be no between-group thickness changes of the rectus abdominis (p = 0.099 at day 3), diaphragm (p = 0.652 at day 3) or combined lateral abdominal muscles (p = 0.074 at day 3). However, ICU length of stay (p = 0.011) and ventilation duration (p = 0.039) appeared to be shorter in the intervention compared to the control group. Conclusions Our compliance rates demonstrate the feasibility of using abdominal FES with critically ill mechanically ventilated patients. While abdominal FES did not lead to differences in abdominal muscle or diaphragm thickness, it may be an effective method to reduce ventilation duration and ICU length of stay in this patient group. A fully powered study into this effect is warranted. Trial registration The Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, ACTRN12617001180303. Registered 9 August 2017.

Abstract
The patient-ventilator breath contribution (PVBC) index estimates the relative contribution of the patient to total tidal volume (Vtinsp) during mechanical ventilation in neurally adjusted ventilator assist mode and has been used to titrate ventilator support. The reliability of this index in ventilated patients is unknown and was investigated in this study. PVBC was calculated by comparing tidal volume (Vtinsp) and diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi) during assisted breaths (Vtinsp/EAdi)assist and during unassisted breaths (Vtinsp/EAdi)no-assist. Vtinsp was normalized to peak EAdi (EAdipeak) using 1) one assisted breath, 2) five consecutive assisted breaths, or 3) five assisted breaths with matching EAdi preceding the unassisted breath (N1PVBC2, X5PVBC2, and PX5VBCEAdi-matching2 , respectively). In addition, PVBC was calculated by comparing only Vtinsp for breaths with matching EAdi (PVBCβ2). Test-retest reliability of the different PVBC calculation methods was evaluated with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) using five repeated PVBC maneuvers performed with a 1-min interval. In total, 125 PVBC maneuvers were analyzed in 25 patients. ICC [95% confidence interval] values were 0.46 [0.23-0.66], 0.51 [0.33-0.70], and 0.42 [0.14-0.69] for N1PVBC2, X5PVBC2, PX5VBCEAdi-matching2 , respectively. Complex waveform analyses showed that insufficient EAdi filtering by the ventilator software affects reliability of PVBC calculation. With our new EAdi-matching techniques reliability improved (PVBCβ2 ICC: 0.78 [0.60-0.90]). We conclude that current techniques to calculate PVBC exhibit low reliability and that our newly developed criteria and estimation of PVBC-using Vtinsp of assisted breaths and unassisted breaths with matching EAdi-improves reliability. This may help implementation of PVBC in clinical practice. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The patient-ventilator breath contribution (PVBC) index estimates the relative contribution of the patient to tidal volume generated by the patient and the mechanical ventilator during mechanical ventilation in neurally adjusted ventilator assist mode. It could be used to titrate ventilator support and thus to limit development of diaphragm dysfunction in intensive care unit patients. Currently available methods for bedside assessment of PVBC are unreliable. Our newly developed criteria and estimation of PVBC largely improve reliability and help to quantify patient contribution to total inspiratory effort.

Abstract
Background Diaphragm dysfunction develops frequently in ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Both disuse atrophy (ventilator over-assist) and high respiratory muscle effort (ventilator under-assist) seem to be involved. A strong rationale exists to monitor diaphragm effort and titrate support to maintain respiratory muscle activity within physiological limits. Diaphragm electromyography is used to quantify breathing effort and has been correlated with transdiaphragmatic pressure and esophageal pressure. The neuromuscular efficiency index (NME) can be used to estimate inspiratory effort, however its repeatability has not been investigated yet. Our goal is to evaluate NME repeatability during an end-expiratory occlusion (NMEoccl) and its use to estimate the pressure generated by the inspiratory muscles (Pmus). Methods This is a prospective cohort study, performed in a medical-surgical ICU. A total of 31 adult patients were included, all ventilated in neurally adjusted ventilator assist (NAVA) mode with an electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) catheter in situ. At four time points within 72 h five repeated end-expiratory occlusion maneuvers were performed. NMEoccl was calculated by delta airway pressure (ΔPaw)/ΔEAdi and was used to estimate Pmus. The repeatability coefficient (RC) was calculated to investigate the NMEoccl variability. Results A total number of 459 maneuvers were obtained. At time T = 0 mean NMEoccl was 1.22 ± 0.86 cmH2O/μV with a RC of 82.6%. This implies that when NMEoccl is 1.22 cmH2O/μV, it is expected with a probability of 95% that the subsequent measured NMEoccl will be between 2.22 and 0.22 cmH2O/μV. Additional EAdi waveform analysis to correct for non-physiological appearing waveforms, did not improve NMEoccl variability. Selecting three out of five occlusions with the lowest variability reduced the RC to 29.8%. Conclusions Repeated measurements of NMEoccl exhibit high variability, limiting the ability of a single NMEoccl maneuver to estimate neuromuscular efficiency and therefore the pressure generated by the inspiratory muscles based on EAdi.
