Driving pressure-guided PEEP titration for intraoperative mechanical ventilation:a meta-analysis / 重庆医学

Objective To systematic evaluate the effectiveness and safety of driving pressure-guided fixed positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP)titration in intraoperative mechanical ventilation.Methods PubMed,Web of Science,the Cochrane Library,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases were searched for collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of PEEP titration guided by driving pressure in intraoperative mechanical ventilation from inception to November 8,2023.After two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted data,and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies,the meta-analysis was conducted by Rev-Man 5.4 software.Results Nineteen studies with a total of 2 906 patients were included.There were 1 440 patients in the study group with the lung protective ventilation strategy guided by PEEP titration,and 1 466 patients in the control group with the traditional lung protective ventilation strategy.Compared with the con-trol group,the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications(PPCs)in the study group was lower in the non-thoracic surgery(RR=0.53,95%CI:0.43-0.65,P<0.001),but there was no statistical difference in the incidence of PPCS in the thoracic surgery(RR=0.89,95%CI:0.78-1.02,P=0.09).Compared with the control group,the intraoperative lung compliance was increased(MD= 6.90 L/cmH2O,95%CI:5.80-7.99,P<0.001),and the length of hospital stay was shortened in the study group(MD=-0.27 d,95%CI:-0.43 to-0.12,P<0.001),while there was no significant difference in intraoperative mean arterial pres-sure(MAP)between the two groups(MD=0.36 mmHg,95%CI:-1.30 to 2.01,P=0.67).Conclusion Com-pared with the traditional lung protective ventilation,driving pressure-guided PEEP titration ventilation can im-prove intraoperative lung compliance,reduce the incidence of PPCs in non-thoracic surgery,shorten the length of hospital stay,and does not increase the risk of hemodynamic disturbances in patients undergoing surgery.

Estrategias de ventilación protectora en cirugía cardiovascular / Protective ventilation strategies in cardiovascular surgery

Introducción: La alteración en el intercambio gaseoso es una complicación de la cirugía cardíaca con circulación extracorpórea. La causa de este deterioro es multifactorial. Durante la derivación, ambos pulmones colapsan y al término de la circulación extracorpórea los pulmones se vuelven a expandir, sin existir una técnica estándar para ello. La aplicación de reclutamiento alveolar durante la anestesia general en este tipo de cirugía mejora la oxigenación arterial. Objetivo: Describir aspectos esenciales de fisiopatología de la injuria pulmonar asociada a la ventilación mecánica en procedimientos quirúrgicos cardíacos y el efecto de la ventilación mecánica protectora perioperatoria como estrategia para prevenirla. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura publicada durante el período comprendido entre enero de 1990 y diciembre de 2020 que hiciera referencia a las estrategias de ventilación mecánica protectora en cirugía cardiovascular. Resultados: La evidencia experimental y clínica sugiere que los bajos volúmenes corrientes de ventilación pulmonar y la aplicación por un corto período del aumento de las presiones inspiratorias, conocidas como "maniobras de reclutamiento" seguidas de la aplicación de presión positiva al final de la espiración para mantener los alveolos reclutados abiertos, incrementan la capacidad residual funcional y reducen la injuria pulmonar asociada a la ventilación mecánica. Estas recomendaciones han sido extrapoladas de estudios retrospectivos realizados en otro tipo de poblaciones. Conclusiones: No existe evidencia contundente de que esta estrategia disminuya la respuesta proinflamatoria, mejore la función pulmonar posoperatoria y disminuya la mortalidad perioperatoria, cuando se compara con la ventilación convencional(AU)

Introduction: The alteration in gas exchange is a complication of cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. The cause of this deterioration is multifactorial. During the shunt, both lungs collapse and at the end of the extracorporeal circulation the lungs expand again, without a standard technique for it. The application of alveolar recruitment during general anesthesia in this type of surgery improves arterial oxygenation. Multiple strategies are used and have as a reference the extracorporeal circulation and its contribution to the pulmonary and systemic inflammatory response. This forces the anesthesiologist to understand the pathophysiology of lung injury associated with mechanical ventilation. Objective: Describe essential aspects of pathophysiology of pulmonary injury associated with mechanical ventilation in cardiac surgical procedures and the effect of perioperative protective mechanical ventilation as a strategy to prevent it. Method: A search of the literature published during the period between January 1990 and December 2020 was carried out that referred to protective mechanical ventilation strategies in cardiovascular surgery. Results: Experimental and clinical evidence suggest that low current volumes of pulmonary ventilation and the application for a short period of increased inspiratory pressures, known as "recruitment maneuvers" followed by the application of positive pressure at the end of expiration to keep the recruited alveoli open, increase functional residual capacity and reduce lung injury associated with mechanical ventilation. These recommendations have been extrapolated from retrospective studies conducted in other types of populations. Conclusions: There is no strong evidence that this strategy decreases the pro-inflammatory response, improves postoperative lung function and decreases perioperative mortality, when compared to conventional ventilation(AU)

Effects on extravascular lung water of lung protective ventilation strategy applied on piglets with acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by paraquat / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

Objective: To study the effects on extravascular lung water of lung protective ventilation strategy applying on piglets with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by paraquat (PQ) under pulse indicating continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring. Methods: The piglets models with ARDS induced by PQ were established in June 2020 and all of them were received mechanical ventilation and divided into three groups according to tidal volume (V(T)) : small V(T) group (6 ml/kg) , middle V(T) group (10 ml/kg) and large V(T) group (15 ml/kg) , there were 5 piglets in each group. The positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) were all setup on 10 cmH(2)O. The indexes such as arterial blood gas analysis, oxygenation index (OI) , extravascular lung water index (ELWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) were monitored at time of before the model was established (baseline) , time of the model was established (t(0)) and 2 h (t(2)) , 4 h (t(4)) , 6 h (t(6)) after mechanical ventilation. Lung tissue were punctured at time of baseline, t(0) and t(6) to be stained by Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and pulmonary pathology were observed under light microscopy. Results: The heart rate (HR) , mean arterial pressure (MAP) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO(2)) of all groups were higher than the base value while the pH values, partial pressure of oxygen (PaO(2)) and OI were lower than the base value when the models were established (P<0.05) . After mechanical ventilation, the HR and MAP values of all groups at t(2), t(4) and t(6) were lower than t(0) while the PaCO(2) of t(4) and t(6) were all higher than t(0), the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . The PaO(2) and OI of all groups showed a trend of rising at first and then decreasing after mechanical ventilation. The MAP, PaO(2), PaCO(2) and OI of the middle V(T) group and large V(T) group were apparently lower than that of the small V(T) group at t(2), t(4) and t(6) (P<0.05) . The ELWI and PVPI at t(0) of all groups were higher than that of baseline (P<0.05) . The ELWI of the small V(T) group at t(6) were lower than t(0) of the same group and t(6) of the middle V(T) group and large V(T) group (P<0.05) . HE staining showed congestion and edema of alveolar tissue, swelling of capillaries, exudation of red blood cells and widening of alveolar septum in piglets after successful modeling. And further widening of alveolar septum and rupture of alveolar septum could be seen in the lung tissues of each group at t(6), and the injury was the slightest in the small V(T) group. Conclusion: The lung protective ventilation strategy can alleviate the extravascular lung water and ARDS induced by PQ and improve oxygenation.

Research progress of spontaneous respiration in mechanical ventilation of acute respiratory distress syndrome / 中华危重病急救医学

Mechanical ventilation is an important supportive treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, improper mechanical ventilation can cause a "second hit" to the lung, that is, ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), characterized by translocation of pulmonary inflammatory mediators into the bloodstream, aggravating systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and multiple organ failure. Although the current protective mechanical ventilation strategy plays an important role in supporting treatment, the mortality of ARDS with mechanical ventilation is still very high. Therefore, to explore the strategy of pulmonary protective ventilation has always been the key orientation of ARDS and has important clinical significance. This article reviews the application, advantages and disadvantages of assisted and non-assisted spontaneous respiration in ARDS patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, in order to provide a reference for research and development of new strategies for ARDS protective ventilation.

@#Objective    To analyze the feasibility of using triangular-sail technique that allows intermittent two-lung ventilation during minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG). Methods    The clinical data of 207 patients with MICS CABG in our cardiac center from January 2019 to November 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into two groups. A group OLV included 111 patients who underwent one-lung ventilation during surgery, while a group TLV included 96 patients who underwent intermittent two-lung ventilation. The triangular-sail technique was used in the group TLV. This simple technique isolated the operative field from lung lobes with the traction of pericardial adipose tissue. The preoperative data and perioperative clinical data of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results    There was no statistical difference in basic preoperative data between the two groups. The operation time in the OLV group was shorter than that in the TLV group (296.7±57.3 min vs. 334.1±87.0 min, P=0.000), and the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation and ICU stay were not statistically different between the two groups. There was also no statistical difference in the incidence of pneumothorax or atelectasis between the two groups. Conclusion    The triangular-sail technique is simple and easy to implement. The technique allows intermittent two-lung ventilation during MICS CABG procedure.

Effect of driving pressure-guided lung protective ventilation strategy on early postoperative pulmonary function in adults patients undergoing heart valve surgery: A randomized controlled study / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#Objective    To evaluate the effect of driving pressure-guided lung protective ventilation strategy on lung function in adult patients under elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods    In this randomized controlled trial, 106 patients scheduled for elective valve surgery via median sternal incision under cardiopulmonary bypass from July to October 2020 at West China Hospital of Sichuan University were included in final analysis. Patients were divided into two groups randomly. Both groups received volume-controlled ventilation. A protective ventilation group (a control group, n=53) underwent traditional lung protective ventilation strategy with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O and received conventional protective ventilation with tidal volume of 7 mL/kg of predicted body weight and PEEP of 5 cm H2O, and recruitment maneuver. An individualized PEEP group (a driving pressure group, n=53) received the same tidal volume and recruitment, but with individualized PEEP which produced the lowest driving pressure. The primary outcome was oxygen index (OI) after ICU admission in 30 minutes, and the secondary outcomes were the incidence of OI below 300 mm Hg, the severity of OI descending scale (the Berlin definition), the incidence of pulmonary complications at 7 days after surgery and surgeons’ satisfaction on ventilation. Results    There was a statistical difference in OI after ICU admission in 30 minutes between the two groups (273.5±75.5 mm Hg vs. 358.0±65.3 mm Hg, P=0.00). The driving pressure group had lower incidence of postoperative OI<300 mm Hg (16.9% vs. 49.0%, OR=0.21, 95%CI 0.08-0.52, P=0.00) and less severity of OI classification than the control group (P=0.00). The incidence of pulmonary complications at 7 days after surgery was comparable between the driving pressure group and the control group (28.3% vs. 33.9%, OR=0.76, 95%CI 0.33-1.75, P=0.48). The atelectasis rate was lower in the driving pressure group (1.0% vs. 15.0%, OR=0.10, 95%CI 0.01-0.89, P=0.01). Conclusion    Application of driving pressure-guided ventilation is associated with a higher OI and less lung injury after ICU admission compared with the conventional protective ventilation in patients having valve surgery.

Right heart protective ventilation strategy in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome / 中国小儿急救医学

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can cause pulmonary vascular dysfunction, increase right ventricular afterload and lead to right ventricular failure,also known as acute cor pulmonale. Mechanical ventilation to maintain oxygenation and ventilation has a negative impact on right ventricular function,which may lead to lung-right ventricular interaction and aggravate the deterioration of right ventricu-lar failure,which may be one of the causes of right ventricular failure. Therefore,in the treatment of mechani-cal ventilation for ARDS,attention must be paid to the right ventricular function of patients.

Pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome: from lung protective ventilation to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is the most leading cause of death in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.PARDS can be classified as mild, moderate, and severe according to the oxygenation index.In recent years, because of the application of lung protection ventilation strategy, the outcome of PARDS has been greatly improved, but the mortality of severe PARDS still remains high.Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to understand the definition, diagnosis, and the application of lung protective ventilation strategy and the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in severe PARDS.

Effect of intraoperative lung-protective mechanical ventilation on pulmonary oxygenation function and postoperative pulmonary complications after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy

This study aimed to observe the effects of lung-protective ventilation (LPV) on oxygenation index (OI) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy in middle-aged and elderly patients. A total of 120 patients who were scheduled to undergo laparoscopic radical gastrectomy with an expected time of >3 h were randomly divided into conventional ventilation (CV group) with tidal volume (TV) of 10 mL/kg without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and lung-protective ventilation (PV group) with 7 mL/kg TV and personal level of PEEP with regular recruitment maneuver every 30 min. Measurements of OI, modified clinical pulmonary infection score (mCPIS), and PPCs were assessed during the perioperative period. Fifty-seven patients in the CV group and 58 in the PV group participated in the data analysis. Patients in the PV group showed better pulmonary dynamic compliance, OI, and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation during and after surgery. The mCPIS was significantly lower in the PV group than in the CV group after surgery. The incidence rate of PPCs was lower in the PV group than in the CV group and the difference was significant in patients whose ventilation time was longer than 6 h in both groups. LPV during laparoscopic radical gastrectomy significantly improved pulmonary oxygenation function and reduced postoperative mCPIS and the incidence of PPCs during the early period after surgery of middle-aged and elderly patients, especially patients whose mechanical ventilation time was longer than 6 h.

There was no significant difference in the occurrence and grade of PPCs between the two groups (P>0.05). There was significant difference in surgeon satisfaction between the two groups (P<0.01).Conclusion LPVS is suitable for ventilation management in radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation.

A clinical study of lung protective ventilation and sequential lung recruitment maneuver for treatment of severe acute pancreatitis complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome / 中国中西医结合急救杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects of lung protective ventilation and sequential recruitment maneuver (RM) on treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods Sixty patients with SAP complicated with ARDS admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from April 2014 to March 2016 were enrolled. They were divided into control group and experimental group by random number table, 30 patients in each group. On the basis of comprehensive treatment, the patients in control group were treated with lung protective ventilation mode: low tidal volume ventilation (6 mL/kg) + optimal end-expiratory positive pressure (PEEP) ventilation mode, when the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was essentially returned to a normal level (Ⅰ grade intra-abdominal hypertension), the patients in experimental group were treated by the combination with RM therapy, and the rest treatment was the same as the control group. Under the two types of ventilation strategies, the clinical effects, respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics and arterial blood gas indexes were compared between the two groups. Results The mechanical ventilation time (days: 13.82±4.40 vs. 19.87±7.40), the length of ICU stay (days:22.67±4.40 vs. 26.43±5.39) and incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia [VAP: 16.67% (5/30) vs. 26.67% (8/30)] of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (all P < 0.05), the mortality rate of the experimental group was slightly lower than that of the control group [26.67% (8/30) vs. 30.00% (9/30)] without statistical significance (P > 0.05). Plateau pressure (Pplat) and the peak airway pressure (PIP) at each time point were decreased after treatment in both groups, while the static lung compliance (Cst), the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) were increased compared with those before treatment, especially the changes at 72 hours after recruitment in the experimental group were more significant than those in the control group [Pplat (cmH2O, 1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa):15.6±4.0 vs. 21.2±5.6, PIP (cmH2O): 18.3±5.0 vs. 25.1±5.4, Cst (mL/cmH2O): 41.2±4.8 vs. 31.2±6.0, PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 90.93±6.45 vs. 80.27±4.51, PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg): 238.33±18.31 vs. 185.83±11.14]. Heart rate [HR (bpm): 110.23±7.92 vs. 98.23±8.44] and the central venous pressure [CVP (mmHg): 8.62±1.52 vs. 6.32±1.42] were significantly higher than those before treatment, the mean arterial pressure [MAP (mmHg): 86.74±7.65 vs. 94.92±10.93] and cardiac output [CO (L/min): 5.32±1.36 vs. 6.42±1.32] were significantly reduced compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05). The values of HR, MAP, CVP, CO at 5 minutes after recruitment were (97.87±5.77) bpm, (94.54±6.87) mmHg, (6.33±1.44) mmHg, (6.32±1.41) L/min, respectively. The changes of these parameters were not significant when compared with those of the basal conditions (P > 0.05) Conclusions Based on the lung protective ventilation in the early stage, sequential RM is applied in treatment of patients with SAP complicated with ARDS, after the IAP is essentially returned to a normal, which is beneficial to improving lung compliance, promoting oxygenation, shortening the time of mechanical ventilation, reducing the length of ICU stay, and decreasing the incidence of VAP without any obvious hemodynamic influence.
