RESUMO

Objectives In this prospective clinical trial we aimed to answer if spontaneous exhaled breath condensate (EBC) in the trap of the expiratory arm of the ventilator could replace EBC collected by coolant chamber standardized with Argon as an inert gas. Second, if EBC pH could predict ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and mortality. Patients We included 34 critically ill patients (males=26), aged=54.85±19.86 (mean±SD) yrs, that required mechanical ventilation due to non-pulmonary direct cause (APACHE II score=23.58±14.7; PaO2/FiO2=240.00±98.29).Setting ICU with 9 beds from a regional teaching hospital. Intervention and Results The patients were followed up until development of VAP, successful weaning or death. There were significant differences between mean EBC pH from the 4 procedures with the exception of spontaneous EBC de-aerated with Argon (n=79; 6.74±0.28) and coolant chamber deaerated with Argon (n=79; 6.70±0.36; p=NS by Tukey's Multiple Comparison Test). However, none of the procedures were extrapolated between each other according to Bland & Altman method. The mean EBC pH from the trap without Argon was 6.50±0.28. From the total of 34 patients, 22 survived and were discharged and 12 patients died in the ICU. Conclusion Spontaneous EBC pH could not be extrapolated to EBC pH from coolant chamber and it did not change in subjects who dead, neither subject with VAP in comparison with baseline data. The lack of other biomarker in EBC and the lack of a control group determinate the need for further studies in this setting (AU)


Objetivos: Evaluar si el Condensado del aire exhalado (CAE), considerado como un marcador prometedor y en continuo crecimiento para evaluar la inflamación pulmonar; es útil en pacientes ventilados mecánicamente (ARM). Mediante un estudio clínico, prospectivo se pretendió descubrir si el CAE generado espontáneamente en las trampas de la rama espiratoria del respirador podrían reemplazar al CAE obtenido a través de una cámara de frío y estabilizado con Argón como gas inerte. Luego, evaluar si el pH del CAE pudiera predecir el desarrollo de neumonía asociada al respirador (NAR) o la muerte. Pacientes: Se incluyeron 34 sujetos agudamente enfermos (hombres = 26), con una edad = 54,85 ± 19.86 (media ± DS) que requirieron ARM por causas directas no pulmonares (APACHE II = 23.58 ± 14.7; PaO2/FiO2 = 240.00 ± 98.29). Ámbito: Unidad de cuidados intensivos con 9 camas perteneciente a un hospital regional aniversitario. Intervenciones y resultados: El pH en el CAE se medía con un equipo ABL5 Radiometer Copenhagen. Se obtenían 2 muestras espontáneas de CAE y una era estabilizada con Argón antes de medir el pH; la otra se medía directamente. Luego se procedía a pasar la rama espiratoria por dentro de la cámara de frío a -3° y se repartían en 2 muestras iguales para pH ya sea con o sin estabilización con Argón. Los pacientes eran seguidos hasta que eran extubados, surgía NAR o la muerte. No hubo diferencias significativas entre las medias de pH del CAE obtenido por los 4 procedimientos; entre pHCAE espontáneo estabilizado con Argón (n = 79; 6.74 ± 0.28) y el pHCAE obtenido con la cámara de frío y Argón (n = 79; 6.70 ± 0.36; p = NS. Prueba de comparación múltiple de Tukey). No obstante, ambos métodos no fueron extrapolables o reemplazables entre sí de acuerdo al método de Bland y Altman. La media de pH CAE espontáneo sin Argón fue 6.50 ± 0.28. De un total de 34 pacientes, 22 fueron dados de alta y 12 fallecieron en la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Ninguno de los métodos de pH CAE pudo predecir el destino final de cada paciente. Conclusión: el pH del CAE obtenido con cámara de frío no sería reemplazable por el CAE espontáneo. Más aun, el pH del CAE se mantuvo constante a lo largo del estudio, aun en pacientes que fallecieron, o desarrollaron NAR, o fueron extubados con éxito. La falta de medición de otro marcador en el CAE, además del pH y la falta de un grupo control determinan la necesidad de futuros estudios en pacientes ventilados mecánicamente
