First, static intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi,st) was measured when PEEPe was zero, and the PEEPi,st was called PEEPi,stz. PEEPe at 0%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% of PEEPi,stz, respectively, were applied randomly. Respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, and oxygen dynamics were recorded 30 minutes after the level of PEEPe was changed.Results When PEEPe was not higher than 80% of PEEPi,stz, no measurement changed significantly. When PEEPe was increased to 90% and 100% of PEEPi,stz, PEEPi,st, peak inspiratory pressure, plateau pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and central venous pressure increased significantly, P<0.01. Cardiac output and left ventricular work index decreased significantly, P<0.01. Oxygen delivery decreased significantly, P<0.05. When PEEPe was increased to 100% of PEEPi,stz, the right ventricular work index decreased significantly, P<0.05.Conclusion Eighty percent of PEEPi,stz was the upper limit of PEEPe. The results of the two methods used to set the level of PEEPe were identical.展开更多

A Bicore CP-100 pulmonary monitor (Bicore Monitoring System, USA) was used for monitoring respiratory mechanics. First, dynamic intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi,dyn) was measured when PEEPe was zero, which was called PEEPi,dynz. Then the PEEPe was set randomly at 0%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% of PEEPi,dynz respectively. Pulmonary mechanics and other parameters (heart rate, blood pressure and blood gas analysis) were measured 30 minutes after the level of PEEPe was changed.Results Work of breathing patient (WOBp), pressure time product, difference of esophageal pressure and PEEPi,dyn decreased significantly when PEEPe was applied, and continued decreasing as PEEPe was increased. Work of breathing ventilator increased significantly when PEEPe was increased to 80% and 100% of PEEPi,dynz. Significantly positive linear correlation was found between the changes in WOBp and in PEEPi,dyn.Conclusions WOBp decreases gradually as PEEPe is increased. WOBp decreases by narrowing the difference between the alveolus pressure and the central airway pressure at the end of expiration when PEEPe is applied.展开更多

The aim of the present study was to monitor regional gas distribution in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during positive-end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration using EIT. Methods: Eighteen ARDS patients under mechanical ventilation in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January to April in 2014 were included in this prospective observational study. After recruitment maneuvers (RMs), decremental PEEP titration was performed from 20 cmH20 to 5 cmH20 in steps of 3 cmH20 every 5-10 min. Regional over-distension and recruitment were monitored with EIT. Results: After RMs, patient with arterial blood oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) + carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) 〉400 mmHg with 100% of fractional inspired oxygen concentration were defined as RM responders. Thirteen ARDS patients was diagnosed as responders whose PaO2 + PaCO2, were higher than nonresponders (419 ± 44 mmHg vs. 170 ±73 mmHg, P 〈 0.0001). In responders, PEEP mainly increased-recruited pixels in dependent regions and over-distended pixels in nondependent regions. PEEP alleviated global inhomogeneity of tidal volume and end-expiratory lung volume. PEEP levels without significant alveolar derecruitment and over-distension were identified individually. Conclusions: After RMs, PEEP titration significantly affected regional gas distribution in lung, which could be monitored with EIT. EIT has the potential to optimize PEEP titration.展开更多

This study was conducted to compare the lower and higher PEEP in patients with ARDS ventilated with low tidal volume, to investigate the relationship between the recruited lung volume by higher PEEP and relevant independent variables and to provide a bedside estimate of the percentage of potentially recruitable lung by higher PEEP. Methods Twenty-four patients with ARDS were studied. A lung recruiting maneuver was performed, then each patient was ventilated with PEEP of 8 cmH20 for 4 hours and subsequently with PEEP of 16 cmH20 for 4 hours. At the end of each PEEP level period, gas exchange, hemodynamic data, lung mechanics, stress index "b" of the dynamic pressure-time curve, intrinsic PEEP and recruited volume by PEEP were measured. Results Fourteen patients were recruiters whose alveolar recruited volumes induced by PEEP 16 cmH20 were (425_+65) ml and 10 patients were non-recruiters. Compared with the PEEP 8 cmH20 period, after the application of the PEEP 16 cmH20, the PaO2/FiO2 ratio and static lung compliance both remained unchanged in non-recruiters, whereas they increased significantly in recruiters. Changes in PaO2/FiO2 and static lung compliance after PEEP increase were independently associated with the alveolar recruitment. Analyzing the relationship between recruiting maneuver (RM)-induced change in end-expiratory lung volume and the alveolar recruitment induced by PEEP, we found a notable correlation. Conclusions The results of this study indicated that the potential for alveolar recruitment might vary among the ARDS population and the higher PEEP levels should be limited to recruiters. Improving in PaO2/FiO2, static lung compliance after PEEP increase and the shape of the pressure-time curve could be helpful for PEEP application.展开更多

It is hypothesized that the stabilization of collapsible alveoli during expiration contributes to lung protection. However, this hypothesis came from analysis of indirect indices like the analysis of the pressure-volume curve of the lung. The purpose of this study was to investigate isolated healthy and injured rat lungs by means of alveolar microscopy, in which combination of PEEP and VT is beneficial with respect to alveolar stability (I-E%). Methods Alveolar stability was investigated in isolated, non-perfused mechanically ventilated rat lungs. Injured lungs were compared with normal lungs. For both groups three PEEP settings (5, 10, 20 cmH20) were combined with three VT settings (6, 10, 15 ml/kg) resulting in nine PEEP-VT combinations per group. Analysis was performed by alveolar microscopy. Results In normal lungs alveolar stability persisted in all PEEP-VT combinations (I-E% (3.2±11.0)%). There was no significant difference using different settings (P 〉0.01). In contrast, alveoli in injured lungs were extremely instable at PEEP levels of 5 cmH20 (mean I-E% 100%) and 10 cmH2O (mean I-E% (30.7±16.8)%); only at a PEEP of 20 cmH20 were alveoli stabilized (mean I-E% of (0.2±9.3)%). Conclusions In isolated healthy lungs alveolar stability is almost unaffected by different settings of PEEP and VT. In isolated injured lungs only a high PEEP level of 20 cmH2O resulted in stabilized alveoli whereas lower PEEP levels are associated with alveolar instability.展开更多

文摘目的 探讨肺复张治疗急性A型主动脉夹层(acute type A aortic dissection,ATAAD)术后低氧血症的疗效及安全性。方法 选取2019年11月至2022年5月广西医科大学第一附属医院ATAAD术后低氧血症患者56例,将其随机分为肺复张组(n=36)及常规治疗组(n=20)。常规治疗组患者在肺保护性通气基础上行常规机械通气,肺复张组患者采用呼气末正压通气(positive end expiratory pressure,PEEP)递增法进行肺复张。比较两组患者治疗前后的动脉血气分析、呼吸力学指标、血流动力学指标和血清白细胞介素(interleukin,IL)-6及IL-10水平。结果 治疗后12h、24h,两组患者的动脉血氧分压(arterial partial pressure of oxygen,PaO_(2))、氧合指数(oxygenation index,OI)、肺静态顺应性(C_(stat))及肺动态顺应性(C_(dyn))均显著高于本组治疗前,肺泡动脉氧分压差[PO_(2)(A-a)]、呼吸指数(respiratory index,RI)、气道峰压(P_(peak))及气道平台压(P_(plat))均显著低于本组治疗前(P<0.05);肺复张组患者的PaO_(2)、OI、C_(stat)及C_(dyn)均显著高于常规治疗组,PO_(2)(A-a)、RI、P_(peak)及P_(plat)均显著低于常规治疗组(P<0.05)。肺复张组患者肺复张过程中收缩压及平均动脉压有所下降(P<0.05),中心静脉压有所升高(P<0.05),肺复张结束后均恢复至基线水平。治疗后12h,两组患者的血清IL-6和IL-10水平均显著低于本组治疗前(P<0.05)。结论 PEEP递增法肺复张可改善ATAAD术后低氧血症患者的氧合及肺顺应性,但对血流动力学存在一过性影响,治疗时应进行严密监测。
