Graded reductions in oxygenation evoke graded reconfiguration of the isolated respiratory network.

ABSTRACT: Neurons depend on aerobic metabolism, yet are very sensitive to oxidative stress and, as a consequence, typically operate in a low O(2) environment. The balance between blood flow and metabolic activity, both of which can vary spatially and dynamically, suggests that local O(2) availability markedly influences network output. Yet the understanding of the underlying O(2)-sensing mechanisms is limited. Are network responses regulated by discrete O(2)-sensing mechanisms or, rather, are they the consequence of inherent O(2) sensitivities of mechanisms that generate the network activity? We hypothesized that a broad range of O(2) tensions progressively modulates network activity of the pre-Bötzinger complex (preBötC), a neuronal network critical to the central control of breathing. Rhythmogenesis was measured from the preBötC in transverse neonatal mouse brain stem slices that were exposed to graded reductions in O(2) between 0 and 95% O(2), producing tissue oxygenation values ranging from 20 ± 18 (mean ± SE) to 440 ± 56 Torr at the slice surface, respectively. The response of the preBötC to graded changes in O(2) is progressive for some metrics and abrupt for others, suggesting that different aspects of the respiratory network have different sensitivities to O(2).

Project description:BackgroundHigh-flow nasal cannula oxygenation (HFNC) and noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) possibly decrease tracheal reintubation rates better than conventional oxygen therapy (COT); however, few large-scale studies have compared HFNC and NPPV. We conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the effectiveness of three post-extubation respiratory support devices (HFNC, NPPV, and COT) in reducing the mortality and reintubation risk.MethodsThe Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Ichushi databases were searched. COT, NPPV, and HFNC use were assessed in patients who were aged ≥ 16 years, underwent invasive mechanical ventilation for > 12 h for acute respiratory failure, and were scheduled for extubation after spontaneous breathing trials. The GRADE Working Group Approach was performed using a frequentist-based approach with multivariate random-effect meta-analysis. Short-term mortality and reintubation and post-extubation respiratory failure rates were compared.ResultsAfter evaluating 4631 records, 15 studies and 2600 patients were included. The main cause of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was pneumonia. Although NPPV/HFNC use did not significantly lower the mortality risk (relative risk [95% confidence interval] 0.75 [0.53-1.06] and 0.92 [0.67-1.27]; low and moderate certainty, respectively), HFNC use significantly lowered the reintubation risk (0.54 [0.32-0.89]; high certainty) compared to COT use. The associations of mortality with NPPV and HFNC use with respect to either outcome did not differ significantly (short-term mortality and reintubation, relative risk [95% confidence interval] 0.81 [0.61-1.08] and 1.02 [0.53-1.97]; moderate and very low certainty, respectively).ConclusionNPPV or HFNC use may not reduce the risk of short-term mortality; however, they may reduce the risk of endotracheal reintubation.Trial registration number and date of registrationPROSPERO (registration number: CRD42020139112, 01/21/2020).
