Brief Summary

Although most of the information focuses on understanding how the ventilator produces lung damage, the pulmonary factors that predispose to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) have been less studied. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can adopt different morphological phenotypes, with its own clinical and mechanical characteristics. This morphological phenotypes may favor the development of VILI for same ventilatory strategy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Measuring the level of pulmonary stress caused by mechanical ventilation

  Twelve patients with ARDS were studied (six from each group). A balloon catheter was placed at the distal end of the esophagus to measure esophageal pressures. A pneumotachograph was used to record and quantify esophageal pressures during the ventilatory cycle. Esophageal pressure is considered as equivalent of pleural pressure. Pulmonary distention pressure (transpulmonary pressure) is obtained by measuring the difference between the pressure of the respiratory system (supplied by mechanical ventilation) and esophageal pressure. Stress was defined as the transpulmonary pressure measure at the end of an inspiratory pause (in zero flow conditions). Pulmonary stress was quantified in cmH2O. There is a linear relationship between stress and lung damage (VILI). Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare variables. Significant p \< 0.05.

  One year

• Measurement of pulmonary strain caused by mechanical ventilation

  Twelve patients with ARDS were studied (six from each group). A chest tomography was performed during an expiratory and inspiratory pause. Using a specific software (Lung Volume Analysis Software.Toshiba, Japan), the amount of lung volume was calculated in expiration and inspiration air (expressed in ml). The strain was defined as the relationship between the amount of volume supplied by mechanical ventilation (tidal volume) and the lung's ability to receive that volume (EELV: end expiratory lung volume). This ratio was expressed as a percentage. There is a direct relationship between strain and lung damage (VILI). Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare variables. Significant p \< 0.05..

  One year

• Measurement of injury due to cyclic opening and closing of the most unstable caused by mechanical ventilation .

  Twelve patients with ARDS were studied (six from each group). Three lung regions were studied on tomography: Basal, middle and apical. A specific software quantified the amount of airless lung (100 to - 100 HU), both in expiration and inspiration. This amount was expressed in numbers of pixels. A lesion due to cyclic opening and closing of the alveoli was defined as the difference between the size of the airless lung between both respiratory times, in relation to the basal condition (lung without air at expiration). This ratio was expressed as a percentage. There is a direct relationship between this mechanism of damage and the risk of VILI. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare variables. Significant p \< 0.05.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Measurement of pulmonary hyperinflation caused by mechanical ventilation

  One year

Study Arms (2)

Focal

ARDS was classified according to the pattern that adopted the loss of aeration in the chest CT in the two groups: focal (predominant commitment in the dependant region) and non- focal (patched or diffused involvement of the entire lung)

Diagnostic Test: CT

Non-Focal

ARDS was classified according to the pattern that adopted the loss of aeration in the chest CT in the two groups: focal (predominant commitment in the dependant region) and non- focal (patched or diffused involvement of the entire lung)

Diagnostic Test: CT

Interventions

CT DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients with ARDS were included. We excluded patients with emphysema, asthma, pneumothorax, or serious conditions of instability: oxygen saturation ≤ 88%; severe shock, ventricular arrhythmia, or myocardial ischemia. To allow comparison between groups, patients were ventilated in volume control under similar conditions of tidal volume (TV; 6 ml/kg-PBW), plateau pressure (PPlat 30 cmH2O), respiratory rate (18 bit/min) and constant flow. PEEP was adjusted to reach objective PPlat. Transpulmonary pressures (TP) were measured and a chest CT scan performed during an expiratory and inspiratory pause. Global and regional volumes of lungs were measured using specific software (Volume Analysis Software,Toshiba, Japan). Three regions were identified: basal (from the diaphragm to the carina), middle (from the carina to the aortic arch) and apical (above the aortic arch).

Also known as: Transpulmonary pressures (TP) were measured

Focal; Non-Focal

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with moderate to severe ARDS diagnosis were studied according to the Berlin definition. The AECC defined ARDS as the acute onset of hypoxemia (arterial partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen \[PaO2/FIO2\] ≤ 200 mm Hg) with bilateral infiltrates on frontal chest radiograph, with no evidence of left atrial hypertension.

You may qualify if:

• Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

You may not qualify if:

• Emphysema Asthma Pneumothorax Oxygen saturation ≤ 88% Severe shock Ventricular arrhythmia Myocardial ischemia.
