Reducing ventilator-induced lung injury and other organ injury by the prone position

چکیده

Mechanical ventilation can cause structural and functional disturbances in the lung, as well as other vital organ dysfunctions. Apoptosis is thought to be a histological sign of distant organ damage in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Nakos and colleagues observed a protective effect of prone positioning against VILI in normal sheep. Less alteration in the lung architecture and function and in liver transaminases, and lower indices for apoptosis in the liver, the diaphragm and the lung were noted in the prone position compared with the supine position. If confirmed, these data open a new hypothesis for pathogenesis and prevention of VILI and its extrapulmonary complications.

Physical and biological triggers of ventilator-induced lung injury and its prevention.

Ventilator-induced lung injury is a side-effect of mechanical ventilation. Its prevention or attenuation implies knowledge of the sequence of events that lead from mechanical stress to lung inflammation and stress at rupture. A literature review was undertaken which focused on the link between the mechanical forces in the diseased lung and the resulting inflammation/rupture. The distending forc...

High frequency oscillatory ventilation and prone positioning in a porcine model of lavage-induced acute lung injury

BACKGROUND This animal study was conducted to assess the combined effects of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and prone positioning on pulmonary gas exchange and hemodynamics. METHODS Saline lung lavage was performed in 14 healthy pigs (54 +/- 3.1 kg, mean +/- SD) until the arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) decreased to 55 +/- 7 mmHg. The animals were ventilated in the pres...

Prone position reduces lung stress and strain in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The present authors hypothesised that in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pronation may reduce ventilator-induced overall stress (i.e. transpulmonary pressure (P(L))) and strain of lung parenchyma (i.e. tidal volume (V(T))/end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) ratio), which constitute major ventilator-induced lung injury determinants. The authors sought to determine whether potent...

The Role of the Lactate Dehydrogenase and the Effect of Prone Position during Ventilator-induced Lung Injury

To examine the impact of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as an early marker of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and the effect of prone position during the VILI, we ventilated 28 normal white rabbits (10 supine, 10 prone, 8 controls) for 6 hr or until PaO2/FIO2 ratio was<200 mmHg. We applied an identical injurious ventilatory pattern (peak inspiratory pressure of 35 cmH2O with a PEEP of 3 cmH2...

Prone to survive and the priority rule in science

In 2005 we published the first study to show that mortality can be reduced by prone ventilation [1]. This study followed the large trial by the Prone-Supine Study Group of Gattinoni and colleagues published in the NEJM in 2001 [2] and another in 2005 that failed to show benefit [3]. We have speculated that the earlier trials failed to show benefit because the protocols of these studies stipulat...
