Effects of the open lung concept following ARDSnet ventilation in patients with early ARDS

چکیده
BACKGROUND Ventilation with low tidal volume (VT) is well recognized as a protective approach to patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but the optimal level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate two protective ventilatory strategies sequentially applied in patients with early ARDS. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, fifteen patients were ventilated during 24 h with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) adjusted according to the ARDSnet low-PEEP table (ARDSnet-24 h). During the next 24 h, nine patients with PaO2/FIO2 ratio below 350 mmHg were ventilated with PEEP titrated according to the Open Lung Concept protocol (ARDSnet + OLC). In the other six patients, regardless of their PaO2/FIO2 ratio, the ARDSnet remained for a further 24 h (ARDSnet-48 h). Ventilatory variables, arterial blood-gas and cytokine were obtained at baseline, 24 and 48 h. Additionally, whole-lung-computed tomography was acquired at 24 and 48 h. RESULTS A sustained improvement in PaO2/FIO2 ratio (P = 0.008) with a decrease in collapsed regions (P = 0.008) was observed in the ARDSnet + OLC group compared with the ARDSnet-24 h group. A reduction in IL-6 in plasma (P < 0.02) was observed throughout the protocol in the ARDSnet + OLC group. Compared with the ARDSnet-48 h group, the ARDSnet + OLC presented smaller amounts of collapsed areas (P = 0.018) without significant differences in hyperinflated regions and in driving and plateau pressures. CONCLUSIONS In this set of patients with early ARDS, mechanical ventilation with an individually tailored PEEP sustained improved pulmonary function with better aeration, without significant increase in hyperinflated areas".

Rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Alveolar recruitment followed by ventilation at optimal titrated PEEP may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury and improve oxygenation in patients with ARDS, but the effects on mortality and other clinical outcomes remain unknown. This article reports the rationale, study design, and analysis p...
متن کاملARDSnet ventilatory protocol and alveolar hyperinflation: role of positive end-expiratory pressure.
RATIONALE In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a focal distribution of loss of aeration in lung computed tomography predicts low potential for alveolar recruitment and susceptibility to alveolar hyperinflation with high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that, in this cohort of patients, the table-based PEEP setting c...
متن کاملSmaller Tidal Volumes Improve ARDS Tidal Volume Lower Than 6 mL/kg Enhances Lung Protection: Role of Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal
Background: ARDSnet data reaffirm the practice of limiting tidal volume in patients with lung injury to 6 to 8 mL/kg of predicted body weight and limiting plateau pressures to avoid additional lung injury and excess mortality. Objective: To determine whether tidal volume <6 mL/kg is protective to the lungs and whether consequent respiratory acidosis can be managed by extracorporeal carbon dioxi...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was characterised by Ashbaugh and colleagues nearly half a century ago, and yet, to the casual observer, it might appear that little progress has been made since. Clinicians are still struggling with how best to define and treat ARDS. 3 A major advance was the recognition that mechanical ventilation may induce further lung injury and the application of...

BACKGROUND Setting and strategies of mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in acute lung injury (ALI) remains controversial. This study compares the effects between lung-protective mechanical ventilation according to the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network recommendations (ARDSnet) and the open lung approach (OLA) on pulmonary function and inflammatory resp...
