ABSTRACT

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess several air-pressure settings for MI-E to determine their effect on peak cough flow (PCF), and to compare the best pressures with those are more common used in the literature (±40cmH2O) in patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD). Methods: Adults with NMD in whom MI-E was indicated were recruited. Assisted PCF was measured by an external pneumotachograph. The protocol included 9 PCF measures per patient: 1 baseline (non-assisted), 4 with increasing inspiratory pressures without negative pressure (10, 20, 30 and 40cmH2O or maximum tolerated), and then 4 adding expiratory pressures (-10, -20, -30 and -40cm H2O or maximum tolerated) with maximum inspiratory pressure previously achieved. Results: Twenty one patients were included, 61% with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mean PCFs with recommended pressures (± 40 cmH2O) were lower than the scored in the individualized steps of the titration protocol (197.7 ± 67l/min vs 214.2 ± 60 l/min, p < 0.05). Regarding subgroups, mean PCFmax values in ALS patients with bulbar symptoms were significantly higher than those achieved with recommended pressures (163.6 ± 80 vs 189 ± 66l/min, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The PCFmax obtained with the protocol did not always match the recommended settings. It may be advisable to perform MI-E titration assessed by non-invasive PCF monitoring in patients with NMD, especially in ALS with bulbar involvement to improve the therapy detecting airway collapse induced by high pressures


Introducción: El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar varios ajustes de presión para insuflación-exuflación mecánica (IEM) para determinar su efecto sobre el flujo pico de tos (FPT), y comparar las mejores presiones con aquellas que son habitualmente utilizadas en la literatura (± 40 cmH2O) en pacientes con enfermedades neuromusculares (ENM). Métodos: Se reclutaron adultos con ENM en los que se indicó IEM. Se midió el FPT asistido mediante un neumotacógrafo externo, y se registraron las curvas de presión y flujo/tiempo. El protocolo incluía 9 medidas de FPT por paciente: una basal (no asistida), 4 con presiones inspiratorias crecientes sin presión negativa (10, 20, 30 y 40 cmH2O o máximo tolerado), y luego 4 presiones espiratorias (-10, -20, -30, -40 cmH2O o máxima tolerada) con la presión inspiratoria máxima conseguida. Resultados: Se incluyeron 21 pacientes, 61% con esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA). Las altas presiones (>±35 cmH2O) lograron el mejor FPT solo en el 50% de los sujetos. Los FPT medios con presiones recomendadas de ± 40 cmH2O (197,7 ± 67 l/min) fueron más bajos que los conseguidos con presiones de titulación individualizadas con el protocolo (214,2 ± 60 l/min, p < 0,05). Con respecto a los subgrupos, los valores medios de FPT máximos en los pacientes con ELA con síntomas bulbares fueron significativamente mayores que los logrados con las presiones recomendadas (163,6±80 frente a 189 ± 66 l/min p < 0,05). Conclusión: El FPT máximo obtenido con el protocolo no siempre coincide con las presiones más altas. Puede ser aconsejable realizar una valoración de IEM evaluada mediante monitorización no invasiva de FPT en pacientes con ENM, especialmente en ELA con afectación bulbar, para mejorar la terapia que detecta el colapso de la vía aérea inducida por altas presiones

Mean PCFs with recommended pressures (±40cmH2O) were lower than the scored in the individualized steps of the titration protocol (197.7±67l/min vs 214.2±60l/min, p<0.05). Regarding subgroups, mean PCFmax values in ALS patients with bulbar symptoms were significantly higher than those achieved with recommended pressures (163.6±80 vs 189±66l/min, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The PCFmax obtained with the protocol did not always match the recommended settings. It may be advisable to perform MI-E titration assessed by non-invasive PCF monitoring in patients with NMD, especially in ALS with bulbar involvement to improve the therapy detecting airway collapse induced by high pressures.
