Project description:Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19)-related severe acute respiratory distress syndrome can lead to acute cor pulmonale. We report a case of acute cor pulmonale secondary to severe COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome diagnosed with transesophageal echocardiography. Almitrine infusion allowed rapid enhancement of right ventricular function as well as improvement in oxygenation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Project description:BackgroundHigh-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) does not improve the prognosis of ARDS patients despite an improvement in oxygenation. This paradox may partly be explained by HFOV hemodynamic side-effects on right ventricular function. Our goal was to study the link between HFOV and hemodynamic effects and to test if the pre-HFOV right over left ventricular end-diastolic area (RVEDA/LVEDA) ratio, as a simple parameter of afterload-related RV dysfunction, could be used to predict HFOV hemodynamic intolerance in patients with severe ARDS.MethodsTwenty-four patients were studied just before and within 3 h of HFOV using transthoracic echocardiography and transpulmonary thermodilution.ResultsBefore HFOV, the mean PaO2/FiO2 ratio was 89 ± 23. The number of patients with a RVEDA/LVEDA ratio >0.6 significantly increased after HFOV [11 (46 %) vs. 17 (71 %)]. Although HFOV did not significantly decrease the arterial pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean and pulse pressure), it significantly decreased the cardiac index (CI) by 13 ± 18 % and significantly increased the RVEDA/LVEDA ratio by 14 ± 11 %. A significant correlation was observed between pre-HFOV RVEDA/LVEDA ratio and CI diminution after HFOV (r = 0.78; p < 0.0001). A RVEDA/LVEDA ratio superior to 0.6 resulted in a CI decrease >15 % during HFOV with a sensitivity of 80 % (95 % confidence interval 44-98 %) and a specificity of 79 % (confidence interval 49-95 %).ConclusionThe RVEDA/LVEDA ratio measured just before HFOV predicts the hemodynamic intolerance of this technique in patients with severe ARDS. A high ratio under CMV raises questions about the use of HFOV in such patients.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01167621.

Project description:Background: High frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is considered a lung protective ventilation mode in preterm infants only if lung volume is optimized. However, whilst a "high lung volume strategy" is advocated for HFOV in preterm infants this strategy is not precisely defined. It is not known to what extent lung recruitment should be pursued to provide lung protection. In this study we aimed to determine the relationship between the magnitude of lung volume optimization and its effect on gas exchange and lung injury in preterm lambs. Methods: 36 surfactant-deficient 124-127 d lambs commenced HFOV immediately following a sustained inflation at birth and were allocated to either (1) no recruitment (low lung volume; LLV), (2) medium- (MLV), or (3) high lung volume (HLV) recruitment strategy. Gas exchange and lung volume changes over time were measured. Lung injury was analyzed by post mortem pressure-volume curves, alveolar protein leakage, gene expression, and histological injury score. Results: More animals in the LLV developed a pneumothorax compared to both recruitment groups. Gas exchange was superior in both recruitment groups compared to LLV. Total lung capacity tended to be lower in the LLV group. Other parameters of lung injury were not different. Conclusions: Lung recruitment during HFOV optimizes gas exchange but has only modest effects on lung injury in a preterm animal model. In the HLV group aiming at a more extensive lung recruitment gas exchange was better without affecting lung injury.

Project description:ObjectivesThe theoretical basis for minimizing tidal volume during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation may not be appropriate when lung tissue stretch occurs heterogeneously and/or rapidly. The objective of this study was to assess the extent to which increased ventilation heterogeneity may contribute to ventilator-induced lung injury during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in adults compared with neonates on the basis of lung size, using a computational model of human lungs.DesignComputational modeling study.SettingResearch laboratory.SubjectsHigh-fidelity, 3D computational models of human lungs, scaled to various sizes representative of neonates, children, and adults, with varying injury severity. All models were generated from one thoracic CT image of a healthy adult male.InterventionsOscillatory ventilation was simulated in each lung model at frequencies ranging from 0.2 to 40 Hz. Sinusoidal flow oscillations were delivered at the airway opening of each model and distributed through the lungs according to regional parenchymal mechanics.Measurements and main resultsAcinar flow heterogeneity was assessed by the coefficient of variation in flow magnitudes across all acini in each model. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation simulations demonstrated increasing heterogeneity of regional parenchymal flow with increasing lung size, with decreasing ratio of deadspace to total acinar volume, and with increasing frequency above lung corner frequency and resonant frequency. Potential for resonant amplification was greatest in injured adult-sized lungs with higher regional quality factors indicating the presence of underdamped lung regions.ConclusionsThe potential for ventilator-induced lung injury during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation is enhanced at frequencies above lung corner frequency or resonant frequency despite reduced tidal volumes, especially in adults, due to regional amplification of heterogeneous flow. Measurements of corner frequency and resonant frequency should be considered during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation management.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Bias flow (BF) is essential to maintain mean airway pressure (MAP) and to washout carbon dioxide (CO2) from the oscillator circuit during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). If the BF rate is inadequate, substantial CO2 rebreathing could occur and ventilation efficiency could worsen. With lower ventilation efficiency, the required stroke volume (SV) would increase in order to obtain the same alveolar ventilation with constant frequency. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of BF rate on ventilation efficiency during adult HFOV. METHODS:The R100 oscillator (Metran, Japan) was connected to an original lung model internally equipped with a simulated bronchial tree. The actual SV was measured with a flow sensor placed at the Y-piece. Carbon dioxide (CO2) was continuously insufflated into the lung model ([Formula: see text]CO2), and the partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2) in the lung model was monitored. Alveolar ventilation ([Formula: see text]A) was estimated as [Formula: see text]CO2 divided by the stabilized value of PCO2. [Formula: see text]A was evaluated by setting SV from 80 to 180 mL (10 mL increments, n?=?5) at a frequency of 8 Hz, a MAP of 25 cmH2O, and a BF of 10, 20, 30, and 40 L/min (study 1). Ventilation efficiency was calculated as [Formula: see text]A divided by the actual minute volume. The experiment was also performed with an actual SV of 80, 100, and 120 mL and a BF from 10 to 60 L/min (10 L/min increments: study 2). RESULTS:Study 1: With the same setting SV, the [Formula: see text]A with a BF of 20 L/min or more was significantly higher than that with a BF of 10 L/min. Study 2: With the same actual SV, the [Formula: see text]A and the ventilation efficiency with a BF of 30 L/min or more were significantly higher than those with a BF of 10 or 20 L/min. CONCLUSIONS:Increasing BF up to 30 L/min or more improved ventilation efficiency in the R100 oscillator.

Project description:Clinicians have little guidance on the time needed before assessing the effect of a mean airway pressure change during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. We aimed to determine: 1) time to stable lung volume after a mean airway pressure change during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and 2) the relationship between time to volume stability and the volume state of the lung.DesignProspective observational study.SettingRegional quaternary teaching hospital neonatal ICU.PatientsThirteen term or near-term infants receiving high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and muscle relaxants.InterventionsOne to two cm H2O mean airway pressure changes every 10 minutes as part of an open lung strategy based on oxygen response.Measurements and main resultsContinuous lung volume measurements (respiratory inductive plethysmography) were made during the mean airway pressure changes. Volume signals were analyzed with a biexponential model to calculate the time to stable lung volume if the model R 2 was greater than 0.6. If volume stability did not occur within 10 minutes, the model was extrapolated to maximum 3,600 s. One-hundred ninety-six mean airway pressure changes were made, with no volume change in 33 occurrences (17%). One-hundred twenty-five volume signals met modeling criteria for inclusion; median (interquartile range) R 2, 0.96 (0.91-0.98). The time to stable lung volume was 1,131 seconds (718-1,959 s) (mean airway pressure increases) and 647 seconds (439-1,309 s) (mean airway pressure decreases), with only 17 (14%) occurring within 10 minutes and time to stability being longer when the lung was atelectatic.ConclusionsDuring high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, the time to stable lung volume after a mean airway pressure change is variable, often requires more than 10 minutes, and is dependent on the preceding volume state.

Project description:BackgroundTo achieve gas exchange goals and mitigate lung injury, infants who fail with conventional ventilation (CV) are generally switched to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV). Although preferred in many neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), research on this type of rescue HFOV has not been reported recently.MethodsAn online registry database for a multicenter, prospective study was set to evaluate factors affecting the response of newborn infants to rescue HFOV treatment. The study population consisted of 372 infants with CV failure after at least 4 hours of treatment in 23 participating NICUs. Patients were grouped according to their final outcome as survived (Group S) or as died or received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) (Group D/E). Patients' demographic characteristics and underlying diseases in addition to their ventilator settings, arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis results at 0, 1, 4, and 24 hours, type of device, ventilation duration, and complications were compared between groups.ResultsHFOV as rescue treatment was successful in 58.1% of patients. Demographic and treatment parameters were not different between groups, except that infants in Group D/E had lower birthweight (BW) (1655 ± 1091 vs. 1858 ± 1027 g, p = 0.006), a higher initial FiO2 setting (83% vs. 72%, p < 0.001), and a higher rate of nitric oxide exposure (21.8% vs. 11.1%, p = 0.004) in comparison to infants who survived (Group S). The initial cut-offs for a successful response on ABG were defined as pH >7.065 (OR: 19.74, 95% CI 4.83-80.6, p < 0.001), HCO3 >16.35 mmol/L (OR: 1.06, 95% CI 1.01-1.1, p = 0.006), and lactate level <3.75 mmol/L (OR: 1.09%95 CI 1.01-1.16, p = 0.006). Rescue HFOV duration was associated with retinopathy of prematurity (p = 0.005) and moderate or severe chronic lung disease (p < 0.001), but not with patent ductus arteriosus or intraventricular hemorrhage, in survivors (p > 0.05).ConclusionRescue HFOV as defined for this population was successful in more than half of the patients with CV failure. Although the response was not associated with gestational age, underlying disease, device used, or initial MV settings, it seemed to be more effective in patients with higher BW and those not requiring nitric oxide. Initial pH, HCO3, and lactate levels on ABG may be used as predictors of a response to rescue HFOV.

Project description:BackgroundAirway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a relatively new mode of ventilation in neonates. We hypothesize that APRV is an effective rescue mode in infants failing conventional ventilation and it is comparable in survival rates to rescue with high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV).MethodsThis is a 6-year retrospective cohort study of infants that failed synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) and were rescued with either APRV or HFOV. For comparison, we divided infants into two groups (28-37 and >37 weeks) based on their corrected gestational age (CGA) at failure of SIMV.ResultsNinety infants were included in the study. Infants rescued with APRV (n = 46) had similar survival rates to those rescued with HFOV (n = 44)-28-37 weeks CGA (APRV 78% vs. HFOV 84%, p = 0.68) and >37 weeks CGA (APRV 76% vs. HFOV 72%, p = 0.74). Use of APRV was not associated with an increase in pneumothorax (APRV 0% and HFOV 10%, p = 0.31, in 28-37 weeks CGA, and APRV 0% and HFOV 4%, p = 0.22, in >37 weeks CGA).ConclusionAPRV can be effectively used to rescue infants with refractory respiratory failure on SIMV. When compared to HFOV, rescue with APRV is not associated with an increase in mortality or pneumothorax.

Project description:BackgroundHigh frequency oscillatory ventilation is often used for lung support in premature neonates suffering from respiratory distress syndrome. Despite its broad use in neonatal intensive care units, there are to date no accepted protocols for the choice of appropriate ventilation parameter settings. In this context, the underlying mass transport mechanisms are still not fully understood.MethodsWe revisit the question of flow phenomena under conventional mechanical ventilation and high frequency oscillatory ventilation in an anatomically-inspired model of neonatal conductive airways spanning the first few airway generations. We first perform at true scale in vitro particle image velocimetry measurements of respiratory flow patterns. Next, we explore in silico convective mass transport in computational fluid dynamics simulations by implementing Lagrangian tracking of tracer boli, where the ventilatory flow rate is fixed.FindingsParticle image velocimetry measurements at eight representative phase angles of a breathing cycle reveal similar flow patterns at peak velocity and during deceleration phases for conventional mechanical ventilation and high frequency oscillatory ventilation. Characteristic differences occur during the acceleration and flow reversal phases. Net displacements of the tracer particles rapidly reach asymptotic behaviour over cumulative breathing cycles and suggest a linear relation between tidal volume and convective mass transport.InterpretationThe linear relation observed suggests that differences in flow characteristics between conventional mechanical ventilation and high frequency oscillatory ventilation conditions do not substantially influence convective mass transport mechanisms. Lower tidal volumes thus cannot be compensated straightforwardly by selecting higher frequencies to maintain similar ventilation efficiencies.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical outcomes of preterm infants who received non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation following extubation in a neonatal intensive care unit.MethodsInfants born between 25 and 34 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of <1,500 g, who were admitted into the neonatal intensive care unit of Guangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Nanning, Guangxi, China, requiring mechanical ventilation on admission were randomized to the non-invasive high-frequency ventilation group, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation group, or nasal continuous positive airway pressure group following extubation. Their respiratory and neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed at 12 and 24 months of corrected age.ResultsAmong 149 preterm infants who underwent randomization, 139 completed their treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit (45, 47, 47 in the non-invasive high-frequency ventilation group, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation group, or nasal continuous positive airway pressure group, respectively), 113 were assessed at 12-month corrected age, and 110 of 113 were assessed again at 24-month corrected age. There were no differences in the number of times bronchitis, pneumonia, wheezing episodes, and re-hospitalization rates appeared due to respiratory diseases among the three groups (P > 0.05); the pulmonary function tests at 12-month corrected age showed respiratory rate, tidal volume, inspiratory time/expiratory time, time to peak expiratory flow/expiratory time, volume at peak expiratory flow/expiratory volume, expiratory flow at 25, 50, and 75% tidal volume were all similar among infants from the 3 groups (P > 0.05). There were no differences in the rates of neurodevelopmental impairment among the three groups at 24-month corrected age (P > 0.05).ConclusionAs post-extubation respiratory support in preterm infants, non-invasive high-frequency ventilation did not increase the rates of long-term respiratory morbidities and neurodevelopmental impairment compared with nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation and nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
