The aim of the present study was to describe the ventilation practices, particularly lung-protective ventilation （LPV）, among brain-injured patients in China. Methods： This study was a multicenter, 1-day, cross-sectional study in 47 Intensive Care Units （ICUs） across China. Mechanically ventilated patients （18 years and older） with brain injury in a participating ICU during the time of the study, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, postoperation with intracranial tumor, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intracranial infection, and idiopathic epilepsy, were enrolled. Demographic data, primary diagnoses, indications for MV, MV modes and settings, and prognoses on the 60th day were collected. Multivariable logistic analysis was used to assess factors that might affect the use of LPV. Results： A total of 104 patients were enrolled in the present study, 87 （83.7%） of whom were identified with severe brain injury based on a Glasgow Coma Scale 〈8 points. Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation （SIMV） was the most frequent ventilator mode, accounting for 46.2% of the entire cohort. The median tidal volume was set to 8.0 ml/kg （interquartile range [IQR], 7.0-8.9 ml/kg） of the predicted body weight; 50 （48.1%） patients received LPV. The median positive end-expiratory pressure （PEEP） was set to 5 cmH20 （IQR, 5-5 cmH20）. No PEEP values were higher than 10 cmH20. Compared with partially mandatory ventilation, supportive and spontaneous ventilation practices were associated with LPV. There were no significant differences in mortality and MV duration between patients subjected to LPV and those were not. Conclusions： Among brain-injured patients in China, SIMV was the most frequent ventilation mode. Nearly one-half of the brain-injured patients received LPV. Patients under supportive and spontaneous ventilation were more likely to receive LPV.展开更多

We aimed to determine whether AKI based on KDIGO UO criteria （KDtGOLro） could improve the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy, compared with KDIGO serum creatinine criteria （KDIGOscr）.Methods： We conducted a secondary analysis of the database of a previous study conducted by China Critical Care Clinical Trial Group （CCCCTG）, which was a 2-month prospective cohort study （July 1,2009 to August 31,2009） involving 3063 patients in 22 tertiary Intensive Care Units in Mainland of China. AKI was diagnosed and classified separately based on KDIGOt,o and KDlGOsc,. Hospital mortality of patients with more severe AKI classification based on KDIGOvo was compared with other patients by univariate and multivariate regression analyses. Results： The prevalence of AKl increased from 52.4% based on KDIGOscr to 55.4% based on KD1GOsc~ combined with KDIGOuo. KDIGOv~~ also restllted in an upgrade of AKI classification in 7.3% of patients, representing those with more severe AK1 classification based on KDIGOvo. Compared with non-AKI patients or those with maximum AKI classification by KDIGOscr, those with maximum AKI classification by KDIGOuo had a significantly higher hospital mortality of 58.4% （odds ratio [OR]： 7.580, 95% confidence interval [CI]： 4.141-13.873, P 〈 0.001）. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, AKI based on KDIGOuo （OR： 2.891, 95% CI： 1.964-4.254, P 〈 0.001）, but not based on KDIGOscr （OR： 1.322, 95% CI： 0.902-1.939, P = 0.152）, was an independent risk factor for hospital mortality. Conclusion： UO was a criterion with additional value beyond creatinine criterion for AKI diagnosis and classification, which can help identify a group of patients with high risk of death.展开更多
