Veno-venous ECMO as a platform to evaluate lung lavage and surfactant replacement therapy in an animal model of severe ARDS.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:There are limited therapeutic options directed at the underlying pathological processes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Experimental therapeutic strategies have targeted the protective systems that become deranged in ARDS such as surfactant. Although results of surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) in ARDS have been mixed, questions remain incompletely answered regarding timing and dosing strategies of surfactant. Furthermore, there are only few truly clinically relevant ARDS models in the literature. The primary aim of our study was to create a clinically relevant, reproducible model of severe ARDS requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Secondly, we sought to use this model as a platform to evaluate a bronchoscopic intervention that involved saline lavage and SRT. METHODS:Yorkshire pigs were tracheostomized and cannulated for veno-venous ECMO support, then subsequently given lung injury using gastric juice via bronchoscopy. Animals were randomized post-injury to either receive bronchoscopic saline lavage combined with SRT and recruitment maneuvers (treatment, n?=?5) or recruitment maneuvers alone (control, n?=?5) during ECMO. RESULTS:PaO2/FiO2 after aspiration injury was 62.6?±?8 mmHg and 60.9?±?9.6 mmHg in the control and treatment group, respectively (p?=?0.95) satisfying criteria for severe ARDS. ECMO reversed the severe hypoxemia. After treatment with saline lavage and SRT during ECMO, lung physiologic and hemodynamic parameters were not significantly different between treatment and controls. CONCLUSIONS:A clinically relevant severe ARDS pig model requiring ECMO was established. Bronchoscopic saline lavage and SRT during ECMO did not provide a significant physiologic benefit compared to controls.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Herpesviridae reactivation among non-immunocompromised critically ill patients is associated with impaired prognosis, especially during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, little is known about herpes simplex virus (HSV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation occurring in patients with severe ARDS under veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We tried to determine the frequency of Herpesviridae reactivation and its impact on patients' prognosis during ECMO for severe ARDS. RESULTS:During a 5-year period, 123 non-immunocompromised patients with a severe ARDS requiring a veno-venous ECMO were included. Sixty-seven patients (54%) experienced HSV and/or CMV reactivation during ECMO course (20 viral co-infection, 40 HSV alone, and 7 CMV alone). HSV reactivation occurred earlier than CMV after the beginning of MV [(6-15) vs. 19 (13-29) days; p?<?0.01] and after ECMO implementation [(2-8) vs. 14 (10-20) days; p?<?0.01]. In univariate analysis, HSV/CMV reactivation was associated with a longer duration of mechanical ventilation [(22-52.5) vs. 17.5 (9-28) days; p?<?0.01], a longer duration of ECMO [15 (10-22.5) vs. 9 (5-14) days; p?<?0.01], and a prolonged ICU [29 (19.5-47.5) vs. 16 (9-30) days; p?<?0.01] and hospital stay [44 (29-63.5) vs. 24 (11-43) days; p?<?0.01] as compared to non-reactivated patients. However, in multivariate analysis, viral reactivation remained associated with prolonged MV only. When considered separately, both HSV and CMV reactivation were associated with a longer duration of MV as compared to non-reactivation patients [29 (19.5-41) and 28 (20.5-37), respectively, vs. 17.5 (9-28) days; p?<?0.05]. Co-reactivation patients had a longer duration of MV [58.5 (38-72.3); p?<?0.05] and ICU stay [51.5 (32.5-69) vs. 27.5 (17.75-35.5) and 29 (20-30.5), respectively] as compared to patients with HSV or CMV reactivation alone. In multivariate analysis, HSV reactivation remained independently associated with a longer duration of MV and hospital length of stay. CONCLUSIONS:Herpesviridae reactivation is frequent among patients with severe ARDS under veno-venous ECMO and is associated with a longer duration of mechanical ventilation. The direct causative link between HSV and CMV reactivation and respiratory function worsening under ECMO remains to be confirmed.

Project description:BackgroundHemolysis is associated with increased mortality in patients with sepsis, ARDS, or therapy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). To quantify a critical threshold of hemolysis in patients with ARDS and treatment with veno-venous ECMO, we aimed to identify cutoff values for cell-free hemoglobin (CFH) and haptoglobin (Hp) plasma concentrations associated with a significant increase in ICU mortality.MethodsPatients with ARDS admitted to a tertiary ARDS referral center between 01/2007 and 12/2018 and treatment with veno-venous ECMO were included. Cutoff values for mean CFH (mCFH) and mean Hp (mHp) plasma concentrations dividing the cohort into groups with significantly different ICU mortalities were calculated and patient characteristics were compared. A multiple logistic regression model with stepwise backward variable selection was included. In addition, cutoff values for vulnerable relative timespans for the respective CFH and Hp concentrations were calculated.ResultsA quantitative cutoff value of 11 mg/dl for mCFH separated the cohort (n = 442) regarding ICU mortality (mCFH ≤ 11 mg/dl: 38%, [95%-CI: 32.22-43.93] (n = 277) vs. mCFH > 11 mg/dl: 70%, [61.99-76.47] (n = 165), p < 0.001). Analogously, a mHp cutoff value ≤ 0.39 g/l was associated with a significant increase in ICU mortality (mHp ≤ 0.39 g/l: 68.7%, [60.91-75.61] (n = 163) vs. mHp > 0.39 g/l: 38.7%, [33.01-44.72] (n = 279), p < 0.001). The independent association of ICU mortality with CFH and Hp cutoff values was confirmed by logistic regression adjusting for confounders (CFH Grouping: OR 3.77, [2.51-5.72], p < 0.001; Hp Grouping: OR 0.29, [0.19-0.43], p < 0.001). A significant increase in ICU mortality was observed when CFH plasma concentration exceeded the limit of 11 mg/dl on 13.3% of therapy days (≤ 13.3% of days with CFH > 11 mg/dl: 33%; [26.81-40.54] (n = 192) vs. > 13.3% of days with CFH > 11 mg/dl: 62%; [56.05-68.36] (n = 250), p < 0.001). Analogously, a mortality increase was detected when Hp plasma concentration remained ≤ 0.39 g/l for > 18.2% of therapy days (≤ 18.2% days with Hp ≤ 0.39 g/l: 27%; [19.80-35.14] (n = 138) vs. > 18.2% days with Hp ≤ 0.39 g/l: 60%; [54.43-65.70] (n = 304), p < 0.001).ConclusionsModerate hemolysis with mCFH-levels as low as 11 mg/dl impacts mortality in patients with ARDS and therapy with veno-venous ECMO. Furthermore, a cumulative dose effect should be considered indicated by the relative therapy days with CFH-concentrations > 11 mg/dl. In addition, also Hp plasma concentrations need consideration when the injurious effect of elevated CFH is evaluated.

Project description:BackgroundMetabolic alkalosis is a frequently occurring problem during continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) with regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of switching from high to low bicarbonate (HCO3-) replacement fluid in alkalotic critically ill patients with acute kidney injury treated by CVVH and RCA.MethodsA retrospective-comparative study design was applied. Patients who underwent CVVH with RCA in the ICU between 09/2016 and 11/2017 were evaluated. Data were available from the clinical routine. A switch of the replacement fluid Phoxilium® (30 mmol/l HCO3-) to Biphozyl® (22 mmol/l HCO3-) was performed as blood HCO3- concentration persisted ≥ 26 mmol/l despite adjustments of citrate dose and blood flow. Data were collected from 72 h before the switch of the replacement solutions until 72 h afterwards.ResultsOf 153 patients treated with CVVH during that period, 45 patients were switched from Phoxilium® to Biphozyl®. Forty-two patients (42 circuits) were available for statistical analysis. After switching the replacement fluid from Phoxilium® to Biphozyl® the serum HCO3- concentration decreased significantly from 27.7 mmol/l (IQR 26.9-28.9) to 25.8 mmol/l (IQR 24.6-27.7) within 24 h (p < 0.001). Base excess (BE) decreased significantly from 4.0 mmol/l (IQR 3.1-5.1) to 1.8 mmol/l (IQR 0.2-3.4) within 24 h (p < 0.001). HCO3- and BE concentration remained stable from 24 h till the end of observation at 72 h after the replacement fluid change (p = 0.225). pH and PaCO2 did not change significantly after the switch of the replacement fluid until 72 h.ConclusionsThis retrospective analysis suggests that for patients developing refractory metabolic alkalosis during CVVH with RCA the use of Biphozyl® reduces external HCO3- load and sustainably corrects intracorporeal HCO3- and BE concentrations. Future studies have to prove whether correcting metabolic alkalosis during CVVH with RCA in critically ill patients is of relevance in terms of clinical outcome.
