Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subjected to prone positioning before extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).DesignA retrospective analysis of a multicenter cohort was carried out.SettingPatients admitted to the Intensive Care Units of 11 hospitals in Korea.PatientsPatients were divided into those who underwent prone positioning before ECMO (n=28) and those who did not (n=34).InterventionsNone.Variables of interestThirty-day mortality, ECMO weaning failure rate, mechanical ventilation weaning success rate, mechanical ventilation-free days at day 60.ResultsThe prone group had lower median peak inspiratory pressure and lower median dynamic driving pressure before ECMO. Thirty-day mortality was 21% in the prone group and 41% in the non-prone group (p=0.098). The prone group also showed a lower ECMO weaning failure rate, and a higher mechanical ventilation weaning success rate and more mechanical ventilation-free days at day 60. In the non-prone group, median dynamic compliance marginally decreased shortly after ECMO, but no significant change was observed in the prone group.ConclusionsProne positioning before ECMO was not associated to increased mortality and tended to exert a protective effect.

Project description:Background Prone position ventilation (PPV) has been recommended for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to improve oxygenation. However, whether prolonged prone ventilation will aggravate hyperoxia and whether abdominal compression will aggravate permissive hypercapnia acidosis are topics of concern. We carried out a retrospective analysis to investigate the issues above. Methods Clinical data were collected from 97 moderate-to-severe ARDS patients who received PPV as part of their treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from November 2015 to May 2021. We collected arterial blood gas of patients according to the 3 periods: supine position ventilation (SPV), PPV early stage (within 4 hours), and PPV middle and late stage (6 hours or later). We established a linear mixed-effects models with “body position changes, times of PPV, gender, age, baseline SOFA, and baseline APACHE II” as fixed effects, and individual and the number of prone positions as random intercept and random slope to investigate the effect of body position changes on blood gas analysis. Results Among the 97 patients received PPV included, 51 were ICU survivors. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and PaO2/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ratio were significantly higher at the early, middle and late stages of PPV than those in SPV [PFR (mmHg): 158 (118.00, 203.00) vs. 161 (129.00, 202.75) vs. 123 (91.75, 163.00), P<0.05]. Despite the synchronized reduction of FiO2, the incidence of hyperoxia in the prone position was still significantly higher than that in the supine position [hyperoxia (%):33.33 vs. 33.56 vs. 12.42, P<0.05]; there was no significant change in arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) at each stage of PPV, but there was a significant increase in PH at PPV middle and late stages than those at early stage [PH: 7.39 (7.34, 7.42) vs. 7.37 (7.31, 7.41), P<0.05]. Conclusions Although PPV improves the patients’ oxygenation, the associated incidence of hyperoxia exceeds 33%. Down-regulate FiO2 more sharply after PPV is necessary, if oxygenation conditions permit. PPV may alleviate the acidosis associated with permissive hypercapnia in ARDS patients treated with lung protective ventilation strategy (LPVS).

Project description:BackgroundResearchers have tried unsuccessfully for many years using randomized controlled trials to show the efficacy of prone ventilation in treating ARDS. These failed attempts were of use in designing the successful PROSEVA trial, published in 2013. However, the evidence provided by meta-analyses in support of prone ventilation for ARDS was too low to be conclusive. The present study shows that meta-analysis is indeed not the best approach for the assessment of evidence as to the efficacy of prone ventilation.MethodsWe performed a cumulative meta-analysis to prove that only the PROSEVA trial, due to its strong protective effect, has substantially impacted on the outcome. We also replicated nine published meta-analyses including the PROSEVA trial. We performed leave-one-out analyses, removing one trial at a time from each meta-analysis, measuring p values for effect size, and also the Cochran's Q test for heterogeneity assessment. We represented these analyses in a scatter plot to identify outlier studies influencing heterogeneity or overall effect size. We used interaction tests to formally identify and evaluate differences with the PROSEVA trial.ResultsThe positive effect of the PROSEVA trial accounted for most of the heterogeneity and for the reduction of overall effect size in the meta-analyses. The interaction tests we conducted on the nine meta-analyses formally confirmed the difference in the effectiveness of prone ventilation between the PROSEVA trial the other studies.ConclusionsThe clinical lack of homogeneity between the PROSEVA trial design and the other studies should have discouraged the use of meta-analysis. Statistical considerations support this hypothesis, suggesting that the PROSEVA trial is an independent source of evidence.

Project description:Prone position has been used in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients for more than 40 years in ICU. After having demonstrated its capability to significantly improve oxygenation in a large number of patients, sometimes dramatically, this procedure has been found to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury, the primary concern for the intensivists managing ARDS patients. Over the time, several trials have been done, which regularly improved and refined from each other. At the end, significant improvement in survival has been demonstrated in the most severe ARDS patients, at a threshold of 100-150 mmHg PaO2/FiO2 ratio. The effect of proning on survival cannot be predicted and seems unrelated with both severity of oxygenation impairment and oxygenation response to proning. The rate of complication is declining with the increase in centers expertise. The pressure sores are more frequent in prone and require a special attention. Prone position is a key component of lung protective mechanical ventilation and should be used as a first line therapy in association with low tidal volume and neuromuscular blocking agents in patients with severe ARDS.

Project description:BackgroundLimited data are available for the oxygenation changes following prone position in relation to hemodynamic and pulmonary vascular variations in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), using reliable invasive methods. We aimed to assess oxygenation and hemodynamic changes between the supine and prone posture in patients with ARDS and identify parameters associated with oxygenation improvement.MethodsEighteen patients with ARDS under protective ventilation were assessed using advanced pulmonary artery catheter monitoring. Physiologic parameters were recorded at baseline supine position, 1 h and 18 h following prone position.ResultsThe change in the Oxygenation Index (ΔOI) between supine and 18 h prone significantly correlated to the concurrent change in shunt fraction (r = 0.75, p = 0.0001), to the ΔOI between supine and 1 h prone (r = 0.73, p = 0.001), to the supine acute lung injury score and the OI (r = -0.73, p = 0.009 and r = 0.69, p = 0.002, respectively). Cardiac output did not change between supine and prone posture. Moreover, there was no change in pulmonary pressure, pulmonary vascular resistances, right ventricular (RV) volumes and the RV ejection fraction.ConclusionsThe present investigation provides physiologic clinical data supporting that oxygenation improvement following prone position in ARDS is driven by the shunt fraction reduction and not by changes in hemodynamics. Moreover, oxygenation improvement was not correlated with RV or pulmonary circulation changes.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been recommended to receive prone position ventilation (PPV). However, the dynamic changes in respiratory mechanics during PPV and their relationship with the prognosis have not been sufficiently evaluated. In addition, the impact of using neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) during PPV on respiratory mechanics is not clear enough. Thus, the study aims to investigate the above-mentioned issues.MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted on 22 patients with moderate to severe ARDS who received PPV in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. A multifunctional gastric tube was used to measure the patients' respiratory mechanics during supine position ventilation (SPV), early PPV (PPV within 4 h of initiation), and middle/late PPV (more than 6 h after the initiation of PPV). Longitudinal data were analyzed with generalized estimating equations (GEE).ResultsCompared with SPV, the esophageal pressure swings (ΔPes) measured during the PPV was significantly higher (SPV 7.46 vs. early PPV 8.00 vs. middle/late PPV 8.30 cmH2O respectively; PSPV vs. middle/late PPV =0.025<0.05). A stratified analysis by patients' outcome showed that the peak airway pressure (Ppeak), ΔPes and respiration rate (RR) in the death group were significantly higher than survival group. On the contrary, the tidal volume (Vt), diaphragmatic electromyogram (EMGdi) and PaO2/FiO2 ratio (PFR) in the death group were significantly lower than survival group. Notably, the ΔPes and transpulmonary driving pressure (DPL) were significantly lower in the patients treated with NMBAs (7.08 vs. 8.76 cmH2O ΔPes; P<0.01), (14.82 vs. 18.08 cmH2O DPL; P<0.001).ConclusionsDuring the transition from SPV to early PPV and then to middle/late PPV, the ΔPes in the PPV were greater than SPV and it fluctuated within a normal range while oxygenation improved significantly in all patients. The Ppeak, ΔPes and RR in the death group were significantly higher than survival group. When NMBAs were used, the ΔPes, inspiratory transpulmonary pressure (PLei), driving pressure (DP) and DPL were significantly decreased, suggesting that the rational combination of NMBAs and PPV may exert a synergistic protective effect on the lungs.

Project description:BackgroundThe application of prone position (PP) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) supported by venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is controversial.ObjectivesTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of application of PP during VV-ECMO in patients with ARDS.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective study of patients who met the Berlin definition of ARDS, and were supported with VV-ECMO. We divided the patients into two groups. The prone group included patients who were supported by VV-ECMO, and experienced at least one period of PP, while those without PP during VV-ECMO were defined as the supine group. Propensity score matching (PSM) at a ratio of 1:1 was introduced to minimize potential confounders. The primary outcomes were the complications of PP and the change of arterial oxygen pressure/fraction of the inspiration (PaO2/FiO2) ratio after PP. The secondary outcomes were hospital survival, ICU survival, and ECMO weaning rate.ResultsFrom April 2013 to October 2020, a total of 91 patients met the diagnostic criteria of ARDS who were supported with ECMO. 38 patients (41.8%) received at least one period of PP during ECMO, while 53 patients (58.2%) were maintained in supine position during ECMO. 22 minor complications were reported in the prone group and major complications were not found. The other ECMO-related complications were similar between two groups. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio significantly improved after PP compared with before (174.50 (132.40-228.25) mmHg vs. 158.00 (122.93-210.33) mmHg, p < 0.001). PSM selected 25 pairs of patients with similar characteristics. Hospital survival or ICU survival did not differ between the two groups (40% vs. 28%, p = 0.370; 40% vs. 32%, p = 0.556). Significant difference of ECMO weaning rate between two groups was not found (56% vs. 32%, p = 0.087).ConclusionsPP during VV-ECMO was safe and could improve oxygenation. A large-scale and well-designed RCT is needed in the future.

Project description:BackgroundThe heterogeneity of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients is a challenge for the development of effective treatments. This study aimed to identify and characterize novel respiratory subphenotypes of COVID-19 ARDS, with potential implications for targeted patient management.MethodsConsecutive ventilated patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 infection, in which prone positioning was clinically indicated for moderate or severe ARDS, were included in a prospective cohort. The patients were assigned to development or validation cohorts based on a temporal split. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio, respiratory compliance, and ventilatory ratio were assessed longitudinally throughout the first prone session. The subphenotypes were derived and validated using machine learning techniques. A K-means clustering implementation designed for joint trajectory analysis was utilized for the unsupervised classification of the development cohort. A random forest model was trained on the labeled development cohort and used to validate the subphenotypes in the validation cohort.Results718 patients were included in a prospective cohort analysis. Of those, 504 were assigned to the development cohort and 214 to the validation cohort. Two distinct subphenotypes, labeled A and B, were identified. Subphenotype B had a lower PaO2/FiO2 response during the prone session, higher ventilatory ratio, and lower compliance than subphenotype A. Subphenotype B had a higher proportion of females (p < 0.001) and lung disease (p = 0.005), higher baseline SAPS III (p = 0.002) and SOFA (p < 0.001) scores, and lower body mass index (p = 0.05). Subphenotype B had also higher levels of the pro-inflammatory biomarker IL-6 (p = 0.017). Subphenotype B was independently associated with an increased risk of 60-day mortality (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.51-2.36). Additionally, Subphenotype B was associated with a lower number of ventilator-free days on day 28 (p < 0.001) and a lower hospital length of stay (p < 0.001). The subphenotypes were reproducible in the validation cohort.ConclusionOur study successfully identified and validated two distinct subphenotypes of COVID-19 ARDS based on key respiratory parameters. The findings suggest potential implications for better patient stratification, risk assessment, and treatment personalization. Future research is warranted to explore the utility of these novel subphenotypes for guiding targeted therapeutic strategies in COVID-19 ARDS.

Project description:BackgroundProne positioning improves oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19. However, its haemodynamic effects are poorly understood.ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to investigate the acute haemodynamic changes associated with prone position in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 ARDS. The primary objective was to describe changes in cardiac index with prone position. The secondary objectives were to describe changes in mean arterial pressure, FiO2, PaO2/FiO2 ratio, and oxygen delivery (DO2) with prone position.MethodsWe performed this cohort-embedded study in an Australian intensive care unit, between September and November 2021. We included adult patients with severe COVID-19 ARDS, requiring mechanical ventilation and prone positioning for respiratory failure. We placed patients in the prone position for 16 h per session. Using pulse contour technology, we collected haemodynamic data every 5 min for 2 h in the supine position and for 2 h in the prone position consecutively.ResultsWe studied 18 patients. Cardiac index, stroke volume index, and mean arterial pressure increased significantly in the prone position compared to supine position. The mean cardiac index was higher in the prone group than in the supine group by 0.44 L/min/m2 (95% confidence interval, 0.24 to 0.63) (P < 0.001). FiO2 requirement decreased significantly in the prone position (P < 0.001), with a significant increase in PaO2/FiO2 ratio (P < 0.001). DO2 also increased significantly in the prone position, from a median DO2 of 597 mls O2/min (interquartile range, 504 to 931) in the supine position to 743 mls O2/min (interquartile range, 604 to 1075) in the prone position (P < 0.001).ConclusionProne position increased the cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, and DO2 in invasively ventilated patients with COVID-19 ARDS. These changes may contribute to improved tissue oxygenation and improved outcomes observed in trials of prone positioning.

Project description:BackgroundCurrent practices regarding tracheostomy in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute respiratory distress syndrome are unknown. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence and the association between the timing of tracheostomy (during or after ECMO weaning) and related complications, sedative, and analgesic use.MethodsInternational, multicenter, retrospective study in four large volume ECMO centers during a 9-year period.ResultsOf the 1,168 patients treated with ECMO for severe ARDS (age 48 ± 16 years, 76% male, SAPS II score 51 ± 18) during the enrollment period, 353 (30%) and 177 (15%) underwent tracheostomy placement during or after ECMO, respectively. Severe complications were uncommon in both groups. Local bleeding within 24 h of tracheostomy was four times more frequent during ECMO (25 vs 7% after ECMO, p < 0.01). Cumulative sedative consumption decreased more rapidly after the procedure with sedative doses almost negligible 48-72 h later, when tracheostomy was performed after ECMO decannulation (p < 0.01). A significantly increased level of consciousness was observed within 72 h after tracheostomy in the "after ECMO" group, whereas it was unchanged in the "during-ECMO" group.ConclusionIn contrast to patients undergoing tracheostomy after ECMO decannulation, tracheostomy during ECMO was neither associated with a decrease in sedation and analgesia levels nor with an increase in the level of consciousness. This finding together with a higher risk of local bleeding in the days following the procedure reinforces the need for a case-by-case discussion on the balance between risks and benefits of tracheotomy when performed during ECMO.
