Laparoscopy is a growing field in veterinary medicine, although guidelines are lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pressure-volume curve during capnoperitoneum in cats. A total of 59 female cats were scheduled for routine laparoscopy. Pressure and volume data were recorded and processed, and the yield point of the curve was calculated using a method based on a capacitor discharging function. For the remaining 40 cats, a linear-like pressure-volume curve was observed until a ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundThe study objective was to compare titration of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and with ventilator-embedded pressure-volume loop in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).MethodsWe have designed a prospective study with historical control group. Twenty-four severe ARDS patients (arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen ratio, PaO2/FiO2 < 100 mmHg) were included in the EIT group and examined prospectively. Data from another 31 severe ARDS patients were evaluated retrospectively (control group). All patients were receiving medical care under identical general support guidelines and protective mechanical ventilation. The PEEP level selected in the EIT group was the intercept point of cumulated collapse and overdistension percentages curves. In the control group, optimal PEEP was selected 2 cmH2O above the lower inflection point on the static pressure-volume curve.ResultsPatients in the EIT group were younger (P < 0.05), and their mean plateau pressure was 1.5 cmH2O higher (P < 0.01). No differences in other baseline parameters such as APACHE II score, PaO2/FiO2, initial PEEP, driving pressure, tidal volume, and respiratory system compliance were found. Two hours after the first PEEP titration, significantly higher PEEP, compliance, and lower driving pressure were found in the EIT group (P < 0.01). Hospital survival rates were 66.7% (16 of 24 patients) in the EIT group and 48.4% (15 of 31) in the control group. Identical rates were found regarding the weaning success rate: 66.7% in the EIT group and 48.4% in the control group.ConclusionIn severe ARDS patients, it was feasible and safe to guide PEEP titration with EIT at the bedside. As compared with pressure-volume curve, the EIT-guided PEEP titration may be associated with improved oxygenation, compliance, driving pressure, and weaning success rate. The findings encourage further randomized control study with a larger sample size and potentially less bias in the baseline data. Trial Registration NCT03112512.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Managing ventilation and oxygenation during laparoscopic procedures in severely obese patients undergoing weight loss surgery presents many challenges. Pressure-controlled ventilation, volume-guaranteed (PCV-VG) is a dual-control mode of ventilation and an alternative to pressure (PC) or volume (VC) controlled ventilation. PCV-VG features a user-selected tidal volume target, that is auto-regulated and pressure controlled. We hypothesized that PCV-VG ventilation would provide improved oxygenation and ventilation during laparoscopic bariatric surgery with a lower peak inflating pressure (PIP) than either PC or VC ventilation. METHODS:This was a prospective cross-over cohort trial (n = 20). In random sequence each patient received the three modes of ventilation for 20 minutes during the laparoscopic portion of the procedure. For all modes of ventilation the goal tidal volume was 6-8 mL/kg, and the respiratory rate was adjusted to achieve normocarbia. The PIP, exhaled tidal volume, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation were recorded every five minutes. At the end of 20 minutes, an arterial blood gas was obtained. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test. RESULTS:PCV-VG and PC ventilation both resulted in significantly lower PIP (cmH2O) than VC ventilation (30.5 ± 3.0, 31.6 ± 4.9, and 36.3 ± 3.4 mmHg respectively; p < 0.01 for PCV-VG vs. VC and PC vs. VC). There was no difference in oxygenation (PaO2), ventilation (PaCO2) or hemodynamic variables between the three ventilation modes. CONCLUSIONS:In adolescents and young adults undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery, PCV-VG and PC were superior to VC ventilation in their ability to provide ventilation with the lowest PIP.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Accurate measurement of esophageal pressure (Pes) depends on proper filling of the balloon. Esophageal wall elastance (Ees) may also influence the measurement. We examined the estimation of balloon-surrounding elastance in a bench model and investigated a simplified calibrating procedure of Pes in a balloon with relatively small volume. METHODS:The Cooper balloon catheter (geometric volume of 2.8 ml) was used in the present study. The balloon was progressively inflated in different gas-tight glass chambers with different inner volumes. Chamber elastance was measured by the fitting of chamber pressure and balloon volume. Balloon pressure-volume (P-V) curves were obtained, and the slope of the intermediate linear section was defined as the estimated chamber elastance. Balloon volume tests were also performed in 40 patients under controlled ventilation. The slope of the intermediate linear section on the end-expiratory esophageal P-V curve was calculated as the Ees. The balloon volume with the largest Pes tidal swing was defined as the best volume. Pressure generated by the esophageal wall during balloon inflation (Pew) was estimated as the product of Ees and best volume. Because the clinical intermediate linear section enclosed filling volume of 0.6 to 1.4 ml in each of the patient, we simplified the estimation of Ees by only using parameters at these two filling volumes. RESULTS:In the bench experiment, bias (lower and upper limits of agreement) was 0.5 (0.2 to 0.8) cmH2O/ml between the estimated and measured chamber elastance. The intermediate linear section on the clinical and bench P-V curves resembled each other. Median (interquartile range) Ees was 3.3 (2.5-4.1) cmH2O/ml. Clinical best volume was 1.0 (0.8-1.2) ml and ranged from 0.6 to 1.4 ml. Estimated Pew at the best volume was 2.8 (2.5-3.5) cmH2O with a maximum value of 5.2 cmH2O. Compared with the conventional method, bias (lower and upper limits of agreement) of Ees estimated by the simple method was - 0.1 (- 0.7 to 0.6) cmH2O/ml. CONCLUSIONS:The slope of the intermediate linear section on the balloon P-V curve correlated with the balloon-surrounding elastance. The estimation of Ees and calibration of Pes were feasible for a small-volume-balloon. TRIAL REGISTRATION:Identifier NCT02976844 . Retrospectively registered on 29 November 2016.

Project description:The blood pressure (BP) J-curve debate started in 1979, and we still cannot definitively answer all the questions. However, available studies of antihypertensive treatment provide strong evidence for J-shaped relationships between both diastolic and systolic BP and main outcomes in the general population of hypertensive patients, as well as in high-risk populations, including subjects with coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, left ventricular hypertrophy, and elderly patients. However, further studies are still necessary in order to clarify this issue. This is connected to the fact that most available studies were observational, and randomized trials did not have or lost their statistical power and were inconclusive. Perhaps only the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) and Optimal Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Targets for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Hypertensives (ESH-CHL-SHOT) will be able to finally answer all the questions. According to the current state of knowledge, it seems reasonable to suggest lowering BP to values within the 130-139/80-85 mmHg range, possibly close to the lower values in this range, in all hypertensive patients and to be very careful with further BP level reductions, especially in high-risk hypertensive patients.

Project description:Fecobionics is an integrated device that has shown promise for assessment of anorectal function. We used a wireless Fecobionics prototype to visualize defecatory patterns and to compute volume-pressure, contraction work, and flow. Twelve normal subjects were studied. The probe was 10 cm-long and contained pressure sensors and electrodes for impedance planimetry. Pressures, diameters, and volume data during defecation were analyzed. The bag was distended inside rectum to the urge-to-defecate level where after the subjects were asked to evacuate. The contraction work and defecatory flow were computed from the volume changes during expulsion. The minimum anal diameter during the evacuation was 17.6 ± 1.5 mm. The middle diameter recording was 10-20% lower than the front diameter channels and 10-20% bigger than the rear channels. The bag volume at urge correlated with the minimum diameter (r = 0.63). The diameter-pressure and volume-pressure loops were counterclockwise with phases of bag filling, isometric contraction, ejection and anal passage. The defecatory contraction work was 3520 ± 480 mL × cmH2O. The maximum flow during defecation was 302 ± 33 mL/s. The flow was associated with the anal diameter (r = 0.84) but not with the rectoanal pressure gradient (r = 0.14). Volume-pressure loops have a tremendous impact on the understanding of cardiopulmonary pathophysiology. Future studies will shed light on potential clinical impact in defecatory pathophysiology.

Project description:BACKGROUND:We observed that increasing fresh gas flow (FGF) decreased exhaled tidal volume (VT) during pressure control ventilation (PCV). A literature search produced no such description whereby unintended VT changes occur with FGF changes during PCV. METHODS:To model an infant's lungs, 1 lung of a mechanical lung model (Dual Adult TTL 1600; Michigan Instruments, Inc, Grand Rapids, MI) was set at a compliance of 0.0068 L/cm H2O. An Rp50 resistor (27.2 cm H2O/L/s at 15 L/min) simulated normal bronchial resistance. The simulated lung was connected to a pediatric breathing circuit via a 3.5-mm cuffed endotracheal tube. A ventilator with PCV capability (Model 7900; Aestiva, GE Healthcare, Madison, WI) measured exhaled VT, and a flow monitor (NICO; Respironics, Murraysville, PA) measured peak inspiratory flow, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and peak inspiratory pressure. In PCV mode, exhaled VT displayed by the ventilator at FGF rates of 1, 6, 10, and 15 L/min was manually recorded across multiple ventilator settings. This protocol was repeated for the Avance CS2 anesthesia machine (GE Healthcare). RESULTS:For the Aestiva, higher FGF rates in PCV mode decreased exhaled VT. Exhaled VT for FGFs of 1, 6, 10, and 15 L/min were on average 48, 34.9, 16.5, and 10 mL, respectively, at ventilator settings of inspiratory pressure of 10 cm H2O, PEEP of 0 cm H2O, and respiratory rate of 20 breaths/min. This is a decrease by up to 27%, 65.6%, and 79.2% when FGFs of 6, 10, and 15 L/min are compared with a FGF of 1 L/min, respectively. In the GE Avance CS2 at the same ventilator settings, VT for FGF rates of 1, 6, 10, and 15 L/min were on average 46, 43, 40.4, and 39.7 mL, respectively. The FGF effect on VT was not as pronounced with the GE Avance CS2 as with the GE Aestiva. CONCLUSIONS:FGF has a significant effect on VT during PCV in the Aestiva bellows ventilator, suggesting caution when changing FGF during PCV in infants. Our hypothesis is that at higher FGF rates, an inadvertent PEEP is developed by the flow resistance of the ventilator relief valve that is not recognized by the ventilator. In turn, less change in pressure is needed to reach the set inspiratory pressure, resulting in lower VT delivery at higher FGF rates. This underappreciated FGF-VT interaction during PCV with a bellows ventilator may be clinically significant in pediatric patients; prospective data collection in patients is needed for further evaluation.

Project description:BackgroundMechanical power (MP) is the energy delivered to the respiratory system over time during mechanical ventilation. Our aim was to compare the currently available methods to calculate MP during volume- and pressure-controlled ventilation, comparing different equations with the geometric reference method, to understand whether the easier to use surrogate formulas were suitable for the everyday clinical practice. This would warrant a more widespread use of mechanical power to promote lung protection.MethodsForty respiratory failure patients, sedated and paralyzed for clinical reasons, were ventilated in volume-controlled ventilation, at two inspiratory flows (30 and 60 L/min), and pressure-controlled ventilation with a similar tidal volume. Mechanical power was computed both with the geometric method, as the area between the inspiratory limb of the airway pressure and the volume, and with two algebraic methods, a comprehensive and a surrogate formula.ResultsThe bias between the MP computed by the geometric method and by the comprehensive algebraic method during volume-controlled ventilation was respectively 0.053 (0.77, - 0.81) J/min and - 0.4 (0.70, - 1.50) J/min at low and high flows (r2 = 0.96 and 0.97, p < 0.01). The MP measured and computed by the two methods were highly correlated (r2 = 0.95 and 0.94, p < 0.01) with a bias of - 0.0074 (0.91, - 0.93) and - 1.0 (0.45, - 2.52) J/min at high-low flows. During pressure-controlled ventilation, the bias between the MP measured and the one calculated with the comprehensive and simplified methods was correlated (r2 = 0.81, 0.94, p < 0.01) with mean differences of - 0.001 (2.05, - 2.05) and - 0.81 (2.11, - 0.48) J/min.ConclusionsBoth for volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation, the surrogate formulas approximate the reference method well enough to warrant their use in the everyday clinical practice. Given that these formulas require nothing more than the variables already displayed by the intensive care ventilator, a more widespread use of mechanical power should be encouraged to promote lung protection against ventilator-induced lung injury.

Project description:IntroductionThe pressure-volume (P-V) relationships of the left ventricle are the classical benchmark for studying cardiac mechanics and pumping function. Perturbations in the P-V relationship (or P-V loop) can be informative and guide the management of heart failure, hypovolemia, and aortic occlusion. Traditionally, P-V loop analyses have been limited to a single-beat P-V loop or an average of consecutive P-V loops (e.g., 10 cardiac cycles). While there are several algorithms to obtain single-beat estimations of the end-systolic and end-diastolic pressure-volume relations (i.e., ESPVR and EDPVR, respectively), there remains a need to better evaluate the variations in P-V relationships longitudinally over time. This is particularly important when studying acute and transient hemodynamic and cardiac events, such as active hemorrhage or aortic occlusion. In this study, we aim to investigate the variability in P-V relationships during hemorrhagic shock and aortic occlusion, by leveraging on a previously published porcine hemorrhage model.MethodsBriefly, swine were instrumented with a P-V catheter in the left ventricle of the heart and underwent a 25% total blood volume hemorrhage over 30 min, followed by either Zone 1 complete aortic occlusion (i.e., REBOA), Zone 1 endovascular variable aortic control (EVAC), or no occlusion as a control, for 45 min. Preload-independent metrics of cardiac performance were obtained at predetermined time points by performing inferior vena cava occlusion during a ventilatory pause. Continuous P-V loop data and other hemodynamic flow and pressure measurements were collected in real-time using a multi-channel data acquisition system.ResultsWe developed a custom algorithm to quantify the time-dependent variance in both load-dependent and independent cardiac parameters from each P-V loop. As expected, all pigs displayed a significant decrease in the end-systolic pressures and volumes (i.e., ESP, ESV) after hemorrhage. The variability in response to hemorrhage was consistent across all three groups. However, upon introduction of REBOA, we observed significantly high levels of variability in both load-dependent and independent cardiac metrics such as ESP, ESV, and the slope of ESPVR (Ees). For instance, pigs receiving REBOA experienced a 342% increase in ESP from hemorrhage, while pigs receiving EVAC experienced only a 188% increase. The level of variability within the EVAC group was consistently less than that of the REBOA group, which suggests that the EVAC group may be more supportive of maintaining healthier cardiac performance than complete occlusion with REBOA.DiscussionIn conclusion, we successfully developed a novel algorithm to reliably quantify the single-beat and longitudinal P-V relations during hemorrhage and aortic occlusion. As expected, hemorrhage resulted in smaller P-V loops, reflective of decreased preload and afterload conditions; however, the cardiac output and heart rate were preserved. The use of REBOA and EVAC for 44 min resulted in the restoration of baseline afterload and preload conditions, but often REBOA exceeded baseline pressure conditions to an alarming level. The level of variability in response to REBOA was significant and could be potentially associated to cardiac injury. By quantifying each P-V loop, we were able to capture the variability in all P-V loops, including those that were irregular in shape and believe that this can help us identify critical time points associated with declining cardiac performance during hemorrhage and REBOA use.

Project description:The blood pressure J-curve discussion has been ongoing for more than 30 years, yet there are still questions in need of definitive answers. On one hand, existing antihypertensive therapy studies provide strong evidence for J-curve-shaped relationships between both diastolic and systolic blood pressure and primary outcomes in the general hypertensive patient population, as well as in high-risk populations, including subjects with coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, left ventricular hypertrophy, and the elderly. On the other hand, we have very limited data on the relationship between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and stroke prevention. Moreover, it seems that this outcome is more a case of "the lower the better." Further large, well-designed studies are necessary in order to clarify this issue, especially as existing available studies are observational, and randomized trials either did not have or lost statistical power and were thus inconclusive.

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.
