Spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation in ARDS

چکیده
The objective of mechanical ventilation used in the management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is to ensure adequate tissue oxygenation and alveolar ventilation while limiting the patients’ work of breathing and preventing further damage to the lungs. Although the “partial support” ventilation modes were initially developed to assist weaning or liberation from supported ventilation, they have gained increasing popularity as primary ventilation modes, even in patients in with severe acute pulmonary dysfunction. Allowing spontaneous breathing is known to alter both lung mechanics and physiological effects of ventilation, therefore has potential influence on important patho-physiological changes and complications that occur. Spontaneous ventilation has the potential to improve outcomes in ARDS, and therefore is worthy of an intensivist’s attention. A clinical trial of the use of pharmaceutical paralysis suggest a protective effect against worsening respiratory failure by ablating spontaneous breathing in ARDS. Overdistension of alveoli, even at low ventilator driving pressures may be as dangerous as high tidal volume (TV) controlled ventilation and thus naïve use of unrestricted spontaneous breathing techniques may be detrimental. As evidence of both improvement and deterioration exist the hypothesis remains controversial, and warrants a properly conducted randomised trial. Case Report

Introduction Spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation is still controversial. It is well known that incongruous patterns of mechanical ventilation can trigger or exacerbate lung injury. NAVA is a mode of mechanical ventilation that delivers ventilatory assist in proportion to the Electrical activity of the Diaphragm (EDi), which mirrors the performance of the whole respiratory system...
متن کاملThe role of spontaneous effort during mechanical ventilation: normal lung versus injured lung
The role of preserving spontaneous effort during mechanical ventilation and its interaction with mechanical ventilation have been actively investigated for several decades. Inspiratory muscle activities can lower the pleural components surrounding the lung, leading to an increase in transpulmonary pressure when spontaneous breathing effort is preserved during mechanical ventilation. Thus, incre...
متن کاملSpontaneous Breathing Trials and Conservative Sedation Practices Reduce Mechanical Ventilation Duration in Subjects With ARDS.
BACKGROUND Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) and daily sedation interruptions (DSIs) reduce both the duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay (LOS). The impact of these practices in patients with ARDS has not previously been reported. We examined whether implementation of SBT/DSI protocols reduce duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU LOS in a retrospective group of subje...
متن کاملAn experimental study on the impacts of inspiratory and expiratory muscles activities during mechanical ventilation in ARDS animal model
In spite of intensive investigations, the role of spontaneous breathing (SB) activity in ARDS has not been well defined yet and little has been known about the different contribution of inspiratory or expiratory muscles activities during mechanical ventilation in patients with ARDS. In present study, oleic acid-induced beagle dogs' ARDS models were employed and ventilated with the same level of...
متن کاملThe spontaneous breathing pattern and work of breathing of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury.
BACKGROUND The spontaneous breathing pattern and its relationship to compliance, resistance, and work of breathing (WOB) has not been examined in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI). Clinically, the ratio of respiratory frequency to tidal volume (f/VT) during spontaneous breathing may reflect adaptation to altered compliance, resistance, and incre...
