Revisión Estructurada / Changes in Respiratory Mechanics in Pediatric Users on Mechanical Ventilation Post Congenital Heart Disease Surgery Undergoing Respiratory Kinesiology versus Endotracheal Suction. Structured Review

Introducción. Las cardiopatías congénitas (CC) en Chile corresponden a la segunda causa de muerte en menores de 1 año, requiriendo cirugías paliativas y/o correctivas el 65% de estas. En el post operatorio frecuentemente se utiliza ventilación mecánica invasiva (VM) y succión endotraqueal (SET) para remover secreciones. Sin embargo, la kinesiología respiratoria (KTR) ha mostrado mejoras significativas en la distensibilidad toracopulmonar (Cest) y resistencia de vía aérea (Rva) en otros grupos de usuarios pediátricos y adultos en VM. Objetivo. Comparar los cambios en la Cest y Rva en usuarios pediátricos en VM post cirugía de cardiopatía congénita (CCC) sometidos a KTR versus SET exclusiva. Métodos. Revisión sistemática de estudios publicados en bases de datos PUBMED, PeDro, Scielo y Google Scholar que comparan el uso de KTR ó SET sobre los cambios en mecánica ventilatoria en usuarios pediátricos en VM post cirugía de cardiopatía congénita, limitados a inglés, español y portugués, excluyendo a sujetos con traqueostomía o con oxigenación por membrana extracorpórea. Se utilizó guía PRISMA para la selección de artículos. Se revisaron 397 artículos y se seleccionó 1 artículo extra de los artículos sugeridos. Se eliminó 1 artículo por duplicidad. Por títulos y resúmenes se seleccionaron 2 artículos, los cuales al leer el texto completo fueron retirados debido a que la población no correspondía a cardiópatas. Resultados. El final de artículos seleccionados fue de 0 artículos, debido a lo cual se removió el operador Booleano "NOT", y se removió la población de cardiopatías. De este modo quedaron 2 artículos seleccionados para la revisión cualitativa final donde se compara KTR versus SET, y KTR en kinesiólogos especialistas y no especialistas, mostrando ambos aumento en la Cest y disminución de la Rva a favor de la KTR, hasta los 30 minutos post intervención. Conclusiones. No se encontraron artículos que demuestren cambios en Cest y Rva con el uso de KTR + SET versus SET exclusiva, en usuarios pediátricos ventilados posterior a CCC. Con la remoción de filtros seleccionamos 2 artículos que demuestran aumento de Cest y disminución de Rva en sujetos pediátricos en VM, uno comparando con SET, y por grupos de especialistas y no especialistas en respiratorio. Se sugieren estudios primarios para evaluar los efectos de esta intervención en esta población.

Introduction. Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are the second general cause for children death under 1 year. In Chile, approximately 65% CHD need surgery, could was palliative or corrective. In the postoperative period, invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) is frequently used as a life support method, but it is associated with complications. Tracheal suction (SET) is regularly used to remove secretions; however, respiratory chest physiotherapy (KTR) has shown significant improvements in thoraco-pulmonary compliance and airway resistance in other groups of pediatrics and adult's users in MV. Objetive. to compare changes in thoraco-pulmonary compliance and airway resistance in pediatric subjects under mechanical ventilation after congenital heart disease surgery comparing chest physiotherapy and exclusive tracheal suction. Methods. systematic review of studies published in PUBMED, PeDro, Scielo and Google Scholar databases who compares KTR or SET use on changes in ventilatory mechanics in pediatric users under MV after congenital heart disease surgery, limited to English, Spanish and Portuguese languages, excluding user with tracheostomy or extracorporeal membrane of oxygenation. It was use the PRISMA guide to articles selection. A search was carried out, with a total of 397 articles reviewed (English: PubMed = 3, PeDro = 8, Scholar = 383; Spanish: Scholar = 3, Scielo = 0; and Portuguese: Scielo = 0). One extra article was selected from the suggested articles, and 1 article was eliminated due to duplication. By titles and abstracts, 2 articles were selected, but the population did not correspond to heart disease. Results. the final selected articles were 0 articles. By this reason, it were removed: Boolean operator "NOT", and congenital heart disease population. Thus, 2 articles were selected for the final qualitative review where it was compares KTR versus SET, and KTR by specialist and non-specialist. Both articles shown improvement in compliance and resistance until 30 minutes post intervention. The CC population was in a 40 to 60% range in both studies. Conclusions. it was no found articles that demonstrate changes in compliance and resistance in the airway with the use of KTR + SET versus exclusive SET in pediatric users after CCC connected to MV. After filter remotion, we found 2 studies shown improves in increase compliance and reduce resistance in pediatric user in MV, ones comparing with SET, and the other one comparing between specialists in respiratory pediatric physiotherapy and not specialists. It suggests to made primary clinical studies about this intervention in CC population.

INTRODUCTION: The heart-lung interaction is influenced by Mechanical Ventilation (MV), which directly impacts venous return and cardiac output through, but not limited to, adjustments in Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) and mean airway pressure (Pmean). Additionally, inspiratory pauses for the assessment of pulmonary mechanics interrupt thoracic movement, potentially further impacting this interaction. OBJECTIVE: To compare hemodynamic changes during 0.5 and 2.0-second inspiratory pauses during respiratory mechanics measurements. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in the intensive care units of a hospital in Salvador/BA. Patients on MV and over 18 years old were included. Exclusions were made for those with hemodynamic instability and sustained hypoxemia during the evaluation. For sample characterization, patients were divided into groups with and without pulmonary conditions. The main data collected and analyzed were PEEP, Pmean, Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), and Heart Rate (HR). For data comparison, Wilcoxon-Rank and Mann-Whitney tests were used for paired and unpaired data, respectively. RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients were included, with a median age of 63 years, 19 (51.4%) males, and 30 (81.1%) with an admission diagnosis of a clinical nature. No statistically significant hemodynamic changes were identified between the 0.5 and 2.0-second inspiratory pause times in the variables SBP (p=0.99), DBP (p=0.11), MAP (p=0.29), and HR (p=0.25). CONCLUSION: No hemodynamic variations were identified during respiratory mechanics measurements at 0.5 and 2.0-second inspiratory pauses.

Objective To observe the effects of inverse ratio ventilation on respiratory mechanics and postoperative pulmonary com-plications in morbidly obese patients during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy Methods A total of 62 morbidly obese patients for a laparo-scopic sleeve gastrectomy were scheduled(18-65 years old,BMI≥35kg/m2 in combination with diabetes,hypertension,hyperlipemia,and other metabolic diseases,or BMI≥40kg/m2,ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ).Patients were randomly assigned to two groups:inverse ratio ventilation group(IRV)and control group(PVG).Two groups were adjusted with an actual tidal volume(VT)of 7-8ml/kg,and respiratory rates of 12 breaths/min.In the IRV group,the ratio of I∶E was 2∶1;in the control group,the ratio of I∶E was 1∶2.We recorded the indexes of respiratory mechanics and the blood gas at the baseline(T0),5min after anesthesia(T,),15min after pneumoperitoneum(T2),30min after pneumoperitoneum(T3),60min after pneumoperitoneum(T4)and the end of surgery(T5),and the occurrence of pulmonary com-plications on day 1,day 2 after operation was observed,and the cumulative incidence of PPCs at 7 days was counted.Results Compared to the control group,the dynamic lung compliance(Cdyn),mean airway pressure(Pmean),positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP),and the PaO2 at T,-T5 of the inverse ventilation group were increased significantly(P＜0.05),the Ppeak、Pplat at T2-T5 and dynamic lung compliance(VD/VT)at T3-T5 were decreased significantly(P＜0.05),and no difference in the PaCO2 and PETCO2 in the two groups.Grade 1 pulmonary complications occurred in both groups,and there was no difference in the total occurrence of pulmonary com-plications at 7 days.Conclusion Inverse ventilation effectively may improve respiratory mechanics and oxygenation in morbidly obese pa-tients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Real-time changes in rib cage expansion and use of abdominal mechanical stimulation in newborns: a quasi-experimental study / Mudanças na expansibilidade torácica com o uso de estímulo mecânico na região abdominal em recém-nascidos: um estudo quase-experimental

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the rib cage expansion and respiratory rate in newborns using an abdominal stabilization band. Methods: The study included 32 newborns of both genders, with gestational age between 35 and 41 weeks. The abdominal stabilization band was used for 15 minutes between the xiphoid process and the anterosuperior iliac crest, with an abdominal contention 0.5cm smaller than the abdominal circumference. The rib cage expansion was evaluated by a breathing transducer (Pneumotrace II™) three minutes before using the band, during the use (15 minutes), and ten minutes after removing the band. The Shapiro-Wilk test verified data normality, and the Wilcoxon test compared the variables considering rib cage expansion and respiratory rate. Significance was set to p<0.05. Results: There was an increase in respiratory rate when comparing before and ten minutes after removing (p=0.008) the abdominal stabilization band, as well as when comparing during its use and ten minutes after its removal (p=0.001). There was also an increase in rib cage expansion when comparing before and during the use of the abdominal stabilization band (p=0.005). Conclusions: The use of the abdominal stabilization band promoted an increase in the rib cage expansion and respiratory rate in the assessed newborns and may be a viable option to improve the respiratory kinematics of this population.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a expansibilidade torácica e a frequência respiratória em recém-nascidos que fizeram uso de uma faixa de estabilização abdominal. Métodos: O estudo incluiu 32 recém-nascidos de ambos os sexos, com idade gestacional entre 35 e 41 semanas. A faixa de estabilização abdominal foi mantida por 15 minutos entre o processo xifoide e a espinha ilíaca anterossuperior, com contenção abdominal 0,5 cm menor do que a circunferência abdominal. A expansibilidade torácica foi avaliada por um transdutor piezoelétrico (Pneumotrace II™) 3 minutos antes do uso da faixa, durante 15 minutos, e 10 minutos após sua retirada. A normalidade das variáveis foi testada pelo teste de Shapiro-Wilk e a análise comparativa da expansibilidade torácica e da frequência respiratória foi realizada por meio do teste t pareado, considerando-se p<0,05.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the effect of bronchodilator on the respiratory mechanics and pulmonary function of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis. Methods: Cross-sectional study on clinically stable children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis aged from six to 15 years. Participants underwent impulse oscillometry and spirometry evaluations before and 15 minutes after bronchodilator inhalation. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied to verify the sample distribution, and the Student's t-test and Wilcoxon test were used to compare the data before and after bronchodilator inhalation. Results: The study included 54 individuals with a mean age of 9.7±2.8 years. The analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in impulse oscillometry and spirometry parameters after bronchodilator inhalation. However, according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory Society (ERS) recommendations (2020 and 2021), this improvement was not sufficient to classify it as a bronchodilator response. Conclusions: The use of bronchodilator medication improved respiratory mechanics and pulmonary function parameters of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis; however, most patients did not show bronchodilator response according to ATS/ERS recommendations.

Introdução: As desordens temporomandibulares (DTM) são um grupo de patologias com implicação direta no entendimento das comorbidades que podem envolver o sistema estomatognático. Tal grupo patológico apresenta característica multifatorial e, por isso, tem sido observada sua possível relação com acometimentos sistêmicos, como problemas articulares, psicológicos e, mais especificamente, os distúrbios respiratórios crônicos (DRC). Objetivo: Conduzir uma revisão sistemática da literatura, utilizando ferramentas com validação metodológica, a fim de fornecer dados relevantes acerca da relação entre as DTM e os DRC. Metodologia: Foram pesquisadas as bases de dados MedLine/PubMed, Colaboração Cochrane, Plataforma Capes, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Scopus, Web of Science e SciElo, cobrindo o período de 2000 a 2021 e utilizando a combinação dos descritores "temporomandibular disorders and breathing and pain and mouth breathing". Resultados: Após a busca, que culminou em 698 documentos encontrados, apenas 12 foram selecionados a partir dos critérios de elegibilidade predefinidos. No tocante à relação entre a presença de DTM e o diagnóstico de apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS), foram encontrados 45 indivíduos com essa associação, reportados por dois estudos. É relatado, também, acometimento por infecções de vias áreas superiores associadas às DTM (7.012 indivíduos reportados), além de diagnóstico de respiração bucal em pacientes que apresentavam o diagnóstico de DTM (30 indivíduos reportados). Conclusão: A associação entre desordens do sono relacionadas à respiração, respiração bucal, AOS e dor relacionada à ATM foi fundamentada por alguns autores, destacando a influência desses parâmetros na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. Observou-se, ainda, que esses acometimentos podem influenciar a postura do indivíduo, a qual está diretamente relacionada com a sintomatologia das DTM, principalmente pela ocorrência de anteriorização da cabeça.

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of pathologies that directly affect the understanding of comorbidities that may appear in the stomatognathic system. This group of pathologies has a multifactorial characteristic and, therefore, it has been observed a possible relation with systemic disorders, such as joint and psychological problems and, more specifically, chronic respiratory disorders (CRD). Objective: To conduct a systematic review based on reliable scientific web tools, in order to provide relevant data on the relation between TMD and CRD. Methods: MedLine/PubMed, Collaboration Cochrane, Plataforma Capes, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Scopus, Web of Science and SciElo were searched in order to retrieve scientific articles, covering the period from 2000 to 2021. It was used the following combination of the descriptors: "temporomandibular disorders and breathing and pain and mouth breathing". Results: After the search, which resulted in 698 documents found, 12 were selected based on the pre-defined eligibility criteria. Regarding the relationship between TMD and the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there were found 45 individuals with this association, reported by two studies. It was also reported the involvement of upper airway infections in TMD (7,012 individuals reported). Furthermore, the search found patients diagnosed with TMD which were also diagnosed with mouth breathing (30 individuals reported). Conclusion: Some of the authors supported the combination between sleep disorders related to breathing, sleep quality and TMJ related pain, highlighting the influence of these parameters on quality of life. It was also observed that, even though the breathing pattern and its influences are a subject that is rarely mentioned in relation to TMD, this involvement can influence the individual's posture, which is directly related to the TMD symptomatology, mainly due to the occurrence of forward head posture.

Factors associated with mortality in mechanically ventilated patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to COVID-19 evolution / Fatores associados à mortalidade em pacientes ventilados mecanicamente com síndrome respiratória aguda grave por evolução da COVID-19

ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the factors associated with mortality in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19. Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study that included 425 mechanically ventilated adult patients with COVID-19 admitted to 4 intensive care units. Clinical data comprising the SOFA score, laboratory data and mechanical characteristics of the respiratory system were collected in a standardized way immediately after the start of invasive mechanical ventilation. The risk factors for death were analyzed using Cox regression to estimate the risk ratios and their respective 95%CIs. Results: Body mass index (RR 1.17; 95%CI 1.11 - 1.20; p < 0.001), SOFA score (RR 1.39; 95%CI 1.31 - 1.49; p < 0.001) and driving pressure (RR 1.24; 95%CI 1.21 - 1.29; p < 0.001) were considered independent factors associated with mortality in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19. Respiratory system compliance (RR 0.92; 95%CI 0.90 - 0.93; p < 0.001) was associated with lower mortality. The comparative analysis of the survival curves indicated that patients with respiratory system compliance (< 30mL/cmH2O), a higher SOFA score (> 5 points) and higher driving pressure (> 14cmH2O) were more significantly associated with the outcome of death at 28 days and 60 days. Conclusion: Patients with a body mass index > 32kg/m2, respiratory system compliance < 30mL/cmH2O, driving pressure > 14cmH2O and SOFA score > 5.8 immediately after the initiation of invasive ventilatory support had worse outcomes, and independent risk factors were associated with higher mortality in this population.

RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar os fatores associados à mortalidade em pacientes ventilados mecanicamente com síndrome o desconforto respiratório agudo por evolução da COVID-19. Métodos: Estudo de coorte retrospectiva, multicêntrica, que incluiu 425 pacientes adultos com COVID-19, ventilados mecanicamente, internados em 4 unidades de terapia intensiva. Foram coletados dados clínicos que compõem o escore SOFA, dados laboratoriais e características mecânicas do sistema respiratório, de forma padronizada, imediatamente após o início da ventilação mecânica invasiva. Os fatores de risco para óbito foram analisados por meio da regressão de Cox, para estimar as razões de risco, e seus respectivos IC95%. Resultados: Índice de massa corporal (RR de 1,17; IC95% 1,11 - 1,20; p < 0,001), escore SOFA (RR de 1,39; IC95% 1,31 - 1,49; p < 0,001) e driving pressure (RR de 1,24; IC95% 1,21 - 1,29; p < 0,001) foram considerados fatores independentes associados à mortalidade em pacientes ventilados mecanicamente com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo por COVID-19. Já a complacência do sistema respiratório (RR de 0,92; IC95% 0,90 - 0,93; p < 0,001) foi associada à menor mortalidade. A análise comparativa das curvas de sobrevida demonstra que pacientes com complacência do sistema respiratório (< 30mL/cmH2O), maior SOFA escore (> 5 pontos) e maior driving pressure (> 14cmH2O) apresentaram maior associação ao desfecho morte em 28 dias e 60 dias. Conclusão: Pacientes com índice de massa corporal > 32kg/m2, complacência do sistema respiratório < 30mL/cmH2O, driving pressure > 14cmH2O e SOFA escore > 5,8, imediatamente após o início da assistência ventilatória invasiva, apresentam piores desfechos no segmento, sendo fatores de risco independentes associados à maior mortalidade nessa população.

Objective:To investigate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride on respiratory mechanics, arterial blood gas, and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation during thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods:A total of 100 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy with one-lung ventilation at Jinhua Central Hospital from January to November 2022 were included in this randomized controlled study. They were divided into groups A and B ( n = 50 per group) using a random digital number table. Patients in group A received an intravenous infusion of 0.02 mg/kg of pentylenethyclidine hydrochloride 30 minutes before surgery, while patients in group B received an equal amount of 0.9% sodium chloride injection 30 minutes before surgery. Clinical indicators, respiratory mechanical indicators (peak airway pressure, lung compliance), arterial blood gas analysis indicators (blood oxygen saturation, arterial pressure of oxygen, oxygenation index), inflammatory factor levels (interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor level-α), and pulmonary complications were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no significant differences in mechanical ventilation time or total infusion volume between the two groups (both P > 0.05). At the end of surgery (T1) and 1 day after surgery (T2), peak airway pressure in group A was (17.43 ± 2.69) cm H 2O and (16.81 ± 2.28) cm H 2O (1 cm H 2O = 0.098 kPa), respectively, which were significantly lower than (19.23 ± 3.40) cm H 2O and (18.29 ± 2.06) cm H 2O in group B, respectively ( t = 2.94, 3.41, P = 0.002, < 0.001). At T1 and T2, lung compliance in group A was (34.67 ± 2.93) cm H 2O and (36.26 ± 3.11) cm H 2O, respectively, which were significantly higher than (32.23 ± 2.85) cm H 2O and (33.84 ± 2.87) cm H 2O in group B, respectively ( t = 4.22, 4.04, P = 0.000, < 0.001). At T1 and T2, blood oxygen saturation, arterial partial pressure of oxygen, and oxygenation index in group A were significantly higher than those in group B ( t = 8.12, 3.07, 10.47, 3.16, 3.81, 4.15, all P < 0.05). At T1 and T2, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels in group A were significantly lower than those in group B ( t = 11.67, 13.55, 9.60, 15.71, 6.13, 11.50, all P < 0.001). The incidence of complications in group A was 4% (2/50), which was significantly lower than 16% (8/50) in group B ( χ2 = 4.00, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Penehyclidine hydrochloride has a good effect on respiratory mechanics, arterial blood gas, and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy with one-lung ventilation and thereby deserves clinical promotion.

Conclusions:Compared with VCV, PCV can promote the recovery of respiratory mechanics index, stabilize hemodynamics and improve biochemical metabolism index in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

Fisiología respiratoria: fisiopatología de las enfermedades obstructivas / Pathophysiology of obstructive diseases

Las enfermedades obstructivas de la vía aérea pediátrica son muy frecuentes debido a los fenómenos mecánicos que están involucrados. En los niños más pequeños, la marcada resistencia de las vías aéreas pequeñas, determinada por la falta de tejido elástico y una caja torácica aún no bien desarrollada; tanto su estructura como la musculatura, facilitarán que cuadros infecciosos, mecánicos (cuerpo extraño) y compresivos, determinen que los flujos de aire se vean limitados y con ello la ventilación alveolar. La respuesta fisiológica con aumento del trabajo respiratorio es limitada y por lo tanto la fatiga muscular determinará hipoventilación con las consecuencias de hipoxemia e hipercapnia.

Obstructive diseases of the pediatric airway are very frequent due to the mechanical phenomena that are involved. The marked resistance of the small airways, such as the lack of elastic tissue and a thoracic cage that is not yet well developed, both in its structure and in the musculature, will make it easier for infectious, mechanical (foreign body), compressive and other conditions to determine that the flows of air are limited and with it the alveolar ventilation. The physiological response with increased work of breathing is limited and therefore muscle fatigue will determine hypoventilation, with the consequences of hypoxemia and hypercapnia.

Elaboración e interpretación del diagrama de Campbell / Construction and interpretation of the Campbell diagram

RESUMEN La evaluación y el monitoreo del trabajo respiratorio es fundamental en los sujetos que se encuentran en las unidades de cuidados intensivos. El estándar de oro para su valoración es el diagrama de Campbell, que requiere la colocación de un balón esofágico. La interpretación del diagrama es compleja y, generalmente, su uso queda ligado al ámbito científico, con poca utilización en la práctica clínica. Para acercar su implementación a la cotidianidad y facilitar su interpretación, el objetivo del paso a paso es describir la elaboración e interpretación del diagrama de Campbell.

ABSTRACT The assesment and monitoring of the work of breathing is essential in subjects hospitalized in intensive care units. The gold standard for its measurement is the Campbell diagram, which requires the placement of an esophageal balloon. The interpretation of the diagram is complex. It is widely used in the scientific field but not often applied in the clinical practice. In order to promote its implementation and facilitate its interpretation, the objective of this study is to describe the construction and interpretation of the Campbell diagram.

Cálculo de la presión transpulmonar a través del monitoreo con balón esofágico durante la fase de soporte total de la ventilación mecánica invasiva / Calculation of transpulmonary pressure through esophageal balloon monitoring during the full support phase of invasive mechanical ventilation

RESUMEN La presión transpulmonar (Ptp) es la diferencia entre la presión en la vía aérea y la presión pleural (Ppl). La medición de la presión esofágica, como sustituto de la Ppl, permite calcular la Ptp y diferenciar entre la mecánica pulmonar y la mecánica de la caja torácica. Para ello, existen dos métodos: el método de Talmor y el método de Gattinoni. Ambos aportan información útil, particularmente en sujetos con síndrome de distrés respiratorio agudo, para individualizar la estrategia de protección pulmonar. El objetivo del siguiente paso a paso es describir el cálculo de la Ptp con ambos métodos durante la fase de soporte total de la ventilación mecánica invasiva.

ABSTRACT Transpulmonary pressure (Ptp) is the difference between airway pressure and pleural pressure (Ppl). Measurement of esophageal pressure, as a surrogate for Ppl, allows for the calculation of Ptp and differentiation between respiratory mechanics and chest wall mechanics. For this purpose, there are two methods: the Talmor method and the Gattinoni method. Both provide useful information, particularly in subjects with acute respiratory distress syndrome, to individualize the lung protective ventilation strategy. The objective of this study is to describe the calculation of Ptp using both methods during the full support phase of invasive mechanical ventilation.

Desfechos clínicos e características da mecânica pulmonar entre a síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo associada à COVID-19 e a não associada à COVID-19: uma análise de escore de propensão de dois importantes ensaios randomizados / Clinical outcomes and lung mechanics characteristics between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome: a propensity score analysis of two major randomized trials

RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar a mecânica pulmonar e os desfechos entre a síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo associada à COVID-19 e a síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo não associada à COVID-19. Métodos: Combinamos dados de dois ensaios randomizados sobre a síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo, um incluindo apenas pacientes com COVID-19 e o outro incluindo apenas pacientes sem COVID-19, para determinar se a síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo associada à COVID-19 está associada à maior mortalidade aos 28 dias do que a síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo não associada à COVID-19 e também examinar as diferenças na mecânica pulmonar entre esses dois tipos de síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo. Resultados: Foram incluídos na análise principal 299 pacientes com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo associada à COVID-19 e 1.010 pacientes com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo não associada à COVID-19. Os resultados mostraram que os pacientes sem COVID-19 utilizaram pressão positiva expiratória final mais alta (12,5cmH2O; DP 3,2 versus 11,7cmH2O; DP 2,8; p < 0,001), foram ventilados com volumes correntes mais baixos (5,8mL/kg; DP 1,0 versus 6,5mL/kg; DP 1,2; p < 0,001) e apresentaram menor complacência respiratória estática ajustada para o peso ideal (0,5mL/cmH2O/kg; DP 0,3 versus 0,6mL/cmH2O/kg; DP 0,3; p = 0,01). Não houve diferença entre os grupos quanto à mortalidade aos 28 dias (52,3% versus 58,9%; p = 0,52) ou à duração da ventilação mecânica nos primeiros 28 dias entre os sobreviventes (13 [IQ 5 - 22] dias versus 12 [IQ 6 - 26] dias; p = 0,46). Conclusão: Esta análise mostrou que os pacientes com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo não associada à COVID-19 têm mecânica pulmonar diferente, mas desfechos semelhantes aos dos pacientes com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo associada à COVID-19. Após pareamento por escore de propensão, não houve diferença na mecânica pulmonar e nem nos desfechos entre os grupos.

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the lung mechanics and outcomes between COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome and non-COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome. Methods: We combined data from two randomized trials in acute respiratory distress syndrome, one including only COVID-19 patients and the other including only patients without COVID-19, to determine whether COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome is associated with higher 28-day mortality than non-COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome and to examine the differences in lung mechanics between these two types of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Results: A total of 299 patients with COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome and 1,010 patients with non-COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome were included in the main analysis. The results showed that non-COVID-19 patients used higher positive end-expiratory pressure (12.5cmH2O; SD 3.2 versus 11.7cmH2O SD 2.8; p < 0.001), were ventilated with lower tidal volumes (5.8mL/kg; SD 1.0 versus 6.5mL/kg; SD 1.2; p < 0.001) and had lower static respiratory compliance adjusted for ideal body weight (0.5mL/cmH2O/kg; SD 0.3 versus 0.6mL/cmH2O/kg; SD 0.3; p = 0.01). There was no difference between groups in 28-day mortality (52.3% versus 58.9%; p = 0.52) or mechanical ventilation duration in the first 28 days among survivors (13 [IQR 5 - 22] versus 12 [IQR 6 - 26], p = 0.46). Conclusion: This analysis showed that patients with non-COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome have different lung mechanics but similar outcomes to COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome patients. After propensity score matching, there was no difference in lung mechanics or outcomes between groups.

Influência da mechanical power e de seus componentes na ventilação mecânica em SARS-CoV-2 / Influence of mechanical power and its components on mechanical ventilation in SARS-CoV-2

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a influência da mechanical power e de seus componentes na ventilação mecânica em SARS-CoV-2; identificar os valores dos componentes da ventilação mecânica e verificar suas correlações entre si e com a mechanical power e efeitos sobre o resultado das fórmulas de Gattinoni-S e Giosa. Métodos: Estudo observacional, longitudinal, analítico e quantitativo dos parâmetros do respirador e da mechanical power no SARS-CoV-2. Resultados: A mechanical power média foi de 26,9J/minuto (Gattinoni-S) e 30,3J/minuto (Giosa). A driving pressure foi de 14,4cmH2O, a pressão de platô de 26,5cmH2O, a pressão expiratória positiva final 12,1cmH2O, a elastância de 40,6cmH2O/L, o volume corrente foi de 0,36L e a frequência respiratória de 32/minuto. A correlação entre as fórmulas de Gattinoni e de Giosa foi de 0,98, com viés de -3,4J/minuto e diferença na correlação da pressão de resistência de 0,39 (Gattinoni-S) e 0,24 (Giosa). Entre os componentes, destacaram-se as correlações da elastância com a driving pressure (0,88), pressão expiratória positiva final (-0,54) e volume corrente (-0,44). Conclusão: Na análise da ventilação mecânica da SARS-CoV-2, constatou-se que as correlações de seus componentes com a mechanical power influenciaram em seus valores momentâneos elevados, e que as correlações de seus componentes entre si influenciaram em seu comportamento ao longo do tempo. Por possuírem efeitos específicos sobre as fórmulas de Gatinnoni-S e Giosa, os componentes da ventilação mecânica tiveram influência em seus cálculos e causaram divergências nos valores da mechanical power.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the influence of mechanical power and its components on mechanical ventilation for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2; identify the values of the mechanical ventilation components and verify their correlations with each other and with the mechanical power and effects on the result of the Gattinoni-S and Giosa formulas. Methods: This was an observational, longitudinal, analytical and quantitative study of respirator and mechanical power parameters in patients with SARS-CoV-2. Results: The mean mechanical power was 26.9J/minute (Gattinoni-S) and 30.3 J/minute (Giosa). The driving pressure was 14.4cmH2O, the plateau pressure was 26.5cmH2O, the positive end-expiratory pressure was 12.1cmH2O, the elastance was 40.6cmH2O/L, the tidal volume was 0.36L, and the respiratory rate was 32 breaths/minute. The correlation between the Gattinoni and Giosa formulas was 0.98, with a bias of -3.4J/minute and a difference in the correlation of the resistance pressure of 0.39 (Gattinoni) and 0.24 (Giosa). Among the components, the correlations between elastance and driving pressure (0.88), positive end-expiratory pressure (-0.54) and tidal volume (-0.44) stood out. Conclusion: In the analysis of mechanical ventilation for patients with SARS-CoV-2, it was found that the correlations of its components with mechanical power influenced its high momentary values and and that the correlations of its components with each other influenced their behavior throughout the study period. Because they have specific effects on the Gatinnoni-S and Giosa formulas, the mechanical ventilation components influenced their calculations and caused divergence in the mechanical power values.

Effect of respiratory mechanics-guided sedation strategy on diaphragm function in mechanical ventilated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease / 中华危重病急救医学

Objective:To investigate the effects of respiratory mechanics-guided sedation strategy on diaphragm function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients treated with mechanical ventilation (MV).Methods:A prospective study was conducted. Patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) received invasive MV who were admitted to the Affiliated Huxi Hospital of Jining Medical University from May 2020 to May 2021 were enrolled. The patients were divided into observational group and control group by random number table method. All patients were intubated for MV, and received bronchodilators, glucocorticoid, anti-infectives, expectorant, nutritional support, analgesia and sedation. The sedatives were dexmedetomidine combined with propofol, and the analgesics were sufentanil in both groups. Respiratory mechanics monitoring was performed every 6 hours in the observational group, and the depth of sedation was adjusted according to the parameters of respiratory mechanics: when airway resistance (Raw) > 20 cmH 2O·L -1·s -1, deep sedation was given to maintain Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) ≤ -3; when the Raw was 10-20 cmH 2O·L -1·s -1, the initial depth of sedation maintained to reach the RASS score of -2-0; when Raw < 10 cmH 2O·L -1·s -1, withdrawn the sedation, or given light sedation, and maintained the RASS score of -2-0. While the control group received light sedation. The patients' diaphragmatic excursions (DE) was measured by bedside ultrasound, tidal volume (VT) and respiratory rate (RR) were recorded, and the diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI, D-RSBI = RR/DE) and diaphragmatic excursion efficiency (DEE, DEE = VT/DE) were calculated. The differences in DE, D-RSBI, and DEE before and 3 days and 5 days of treatment between the two groups were compared. The difference in the RASS score within 3 days of sedation between the two groups was compared. The differences in the duration of MV and 28-day mortality between the two groups were compared. Results:A total of 96 patients were selected. Six patients were excluded due to delirium or the duration of MV shorter than 3 days. Finally, 90 patients were enrolled, with 46 in the observational group, and 44 in the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in DE, D-RSBI or DEE before treatment between the two groups. After treatment, D-RSBI in both groups was gradually decreased, and DEE was gradually increased with time. The D-RSBI at 3 days and 5 days of treatment in the observational group were significantly lower than those in the control group (times·min -1·mm -1: 1.73±0.48 vs. 1.96±0.35 at 3 days, 1.45±0.64 vs. 1.72±0.40 at 5 days, both P < 0.05), and DEE were significantly higher than those in the control group (mL/mm: 19.7±4.3 vs. 17.1±3.9 at 3 days, 25.8±5.6 vs. 22.9±5.4 at 5 days, both P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in DE at all time points between the two groups. The RASS scores within 2 hours of sedation in the observational group were significantly lower than those in the control group (1 day: -3.78±0.92 vs. -2.34±0.68, 2 days: -2.87±1.04 vs. -2.43±0.79, both P < 0.05), while no statistical difference at 3 days was found between the two groups. The duration of MV in the observational group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (days: 5.78±2.01 vs. 6.84±2.27, P < 0.05). One patient died in each of the control group and the observational group, and there was no significant difference in the 28-day mortality between the two groups (2.3% vs. 2.2%, P > 0.05). Conclusion:For AECOPD patients undergoing MV, respiratory mechanics-guided sedation strategy can reduce D-RSBI, increase DEE, shorten the duration of MV, and have a certain protective effect on the diaphragm.

Mecánica respiratoria en anestesia general: Revisión de conceptos / Respiratory mechanics in general anesthesia: Concepts review

In anesthesia practice, mechanical ventilation is a fundamental tool, and its correct configuration is essential in the patients care. Airway pressure is often assumed to reflect the forces applied to the lung and is used to monitor mechanical ventilation. This assumption is erroneous because pressure acts on the respiratory system as a whole and the impact on its components will depend on the ratio of lung and respiratory system elastances. In turn, patients' lungs with the same body size and ventilated with the same tidal volume, may be subjected to different forces depending on their functional size. This is expressed under the concepts of stress and strain. Its surrogate owners, the Paw plateau and the Vt, have shown a poor correlation compared to transpulmonary pressure and the airway driving pressure. This review aims to provide the theoretical-practical tools necessary to optimize mechanical ventilation for each patient.

En la práctica anestésica, la ventilación mecánica es una herramienta fundamental, y su correcta configuración es esencial en el cuidado de los pacientes. La presión de la vía aérea es, muchas veces, asumida como el reflejo de las fuerzas aplicadas en el pulmón y es utilizada para monitorizar la ventilación mecánica. Esta asunción es errónea porque la presión actúa sobre el sistema respiratorio en su totalidad y la repercusión sobre sus componentes va a depender de la relación de elastancias del pulmón y el sistema respiratorio. A su vez, los pulmones de pacientes con el mismo tamaño corporal y ventilados con el mismo volumen corriente, pueden estar sujetos a diferentes fuerzas dependiendo de su tamaño funcional. Esto es expresado bajo los conceptos de stress y strain. Sus respectivos subrogantes, Pawplateau y el Vt, han demostrado tener una pobre correlación en comparación con la presión transpulmonar y la airway driving pressure. Esta revisión pretende brindar las herramientas teórico-prácticas necesarias para optimizar la ventilación mecánica para cada paciente.

Intra-breath oscillometry for the evaluation of lung function in children and adolescents with a history of preterm birth / Oscilometria intra-breath para avaliação da função pulmonar em crianças e adolescentes com história de prematuridade

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess respiratory system impedance (Zrs) and spirometric parameters in children and adolescents with and without a history of preterm birth. Methods: We evaluated a sample of 51 subjects between 11 and 14 years of age: 35 who had a history of preterm birth (preterm group) and 16 who had been born at term (full-term group). Lung function was measured by spirometry, spectral oscillometry, and intra-breath oscillometry. Results: Neither spirometry nor spectral oscillometry revealed any statistically significant differences between the preterm and full-term groups. However, intra-breath oscillometry demonstrated significant differences between the two groups in terms of the change in resistance, reactance at end-inspiration, and the change in reactance (p < 0.05 for all). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that abnormalities in Zrs persist in children and adolescents with a history of preterm birth and that intra-breath oscillometry is more sensitive than is spectral oscillometry. Larger studies are needed in order to validate these findings and to explore the impact that birth weight and gestational age at birth have on Zrs later in life.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a impedância do sistema respiratório (Zsr) e parâmetros espirométricos em crianças e adolescentes com e sem história de prematuridade. Métodos: Foi analisada uma amostra de 51 indivíduos entre 11 e 14 anos de idade: 35 com história de prematuridade (grupo pré-termo) e 16 nascidos a termo (grupo a termo). A função pulmonar foi medida por meio de espirometria, oscilometria espectral e oscilometria intra-breath. Resultados: A espirometria e a oscilometria espectral não revelaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos pré-termo e a termo. No entanto, a oscilometria intra-breath demonstrou diferenças significativas entre os dois grupos quanto à alteração da resistência, à reatância ao final da inspiração e à alteração da reatância (p < 0,05 para todas). Conclusões: Nossos achados sugerem que as anormalidades na Zsr persistem em crianças e adolescentes com história de prematuridade e que a oscilometria intra-breath é mais sensível do que a oscilometria espectral. São necessários estudos maiores para validar esses achados e para explorar o impacto do peso e idade gestacional ao nascer na Zsr mais tarde na vida.
