Effects of Prone Ventilation on Oxygenation, Inflammation, and Lung Infiltrates in COVID-19 Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Patients receiving mechanical ventilation for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related, moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) have mortality rates between 76-98%. The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to identify differences in prone ventilation effects on oxygenation, pulmonary infiltrates (as observed on chest X-ray (CXR)), and systemic inflammation in CARDS patients by survivorship and to identify baseline characteristics associated with survival after prone ventilation. The study cohort included 23 patients with moderate-to-severe CARDS who received prone ventilation for ?16 h/day and was segmented by living status: living (n = 6) and deceased (n = 17). Immediately after prone ventilation, PaO₂/FiO₂ improved by 108% (p < 0.03) for the living and 150% (p < 3 × 10^-4) for the deceased. However, the 48 h change in lung infiltrate severity in gravity-dependent lung zones was significantly better for the living than for the deceased (p < 0.02). In CXRs of the lower lungs before prone ventilation, we observed 5 patients with confluent infiltrates bilaterally, 12 patients with ground-glass opacities (GGOs) bilaterally, and 6 patients with mixed infiltrate patterns; 80% of patients with confluent infiltrates were alive vs. 8% of patients with GGOs. In conclusion, our small study indicates that CXRs may offer clinical utility in selecting patients with moderate-to-severe CARDS who will benefit from prone ventilation. Additionally, our study suggests that lung infiltrate severity may be a better indicator of patient disposition after prone ventilation than PaO₂/FiO₂.

Project description:BackgroundThe application of prone position (PP) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) supported by venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is controversial.ObjectivesTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of application of PP during VV-ECMO in patients with ARDS.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective study of patients who met the Berlin definition of ARDS, and were supported with VV-ECMO. We divided the patients into two groups. The prone group included patients who were supported by VV-ECMO, and experienced at least one period of PP, while those without PP during VV-ECMO were defined as the supine group. Propensity score matching (PSM) at a ratio of 1:1 was introduced to minimize potential confounders. The primary outcomes were the complications of PP and the change of arterial oxygen pressure/fraction of the inspiration (PaO2/FiO2) ratio after PP. The secondary outcomes were hospital survival, ICU survival, and ECMO weaning rate.ResultsFrom April 2013 to October 2020, a total of 91 patients met the diagnostic criteria of ARDS who were supported with ECMO. 38 patients (41.8%) received at least one period of PP during ECMO, while 53 patients (58.2%) were maintained in supine position during ECMO. 22 minor complications were reported in the prone group and major complications were not found. The other ECMO-related complications were similar between two groups. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio significantly improved after PP compared with before (174.50 (132.40-228.25) mmHg vs. 158.00 (122.93-210.33) mmHg, p < 0.001). PSM selected 25 pairs of patients with similar characteristics. Hospital survival or ICU survival did not differ between the two groups (40% vs. 28%, p = 0.370; 40% vs. 32%, p = 0.556). Significant difference of ECMO weaning rate between two groups was not found (56% vs. 32%, p = 0.087).ConclusionsPP during VV-ECMO was safe and could improve oxygenation. A large-scale and well-designed RCT is needed in the future.

Project description:BackgroundProne position ventilation (PPV) has been recommended for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to improve oxygenation. However, whether prolonged prone ventilation will aggravate hyperoxia and whether abdominal compression will aggravate permissive hypercapnia acidosis are topics of concern. We carried out a retrospective analysis to investigate the issues above.MethodsClinical data were collected from 97 moderate-to-severe ARDS patients who received PPV as part of their treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from November 2015 to May 2021. We collected arterial blood gas of patients according to the 3 periods: supine position ventilation (SPV), PPV early stage (within 4 hours), and PPV middle and late stage (6 hours or later). We established a linear mixed-effects models with "body position changes, times of PPV, gender, age, baseline SOFA, and baseline APACHE II" as fixed effects, and individual and the number of prone positions as random intercept and random slope to investigate the effect of body position changes on blood gas analysis.ResultsAmong the 97 patients received PPV included, 51 were ICU survivors. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and PaO2/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ratio were significantly higher at the early, middle and late stages of PPV than those in SPV [PFR (mmHg): 158 (118.00, 203.00) vs. 161 (129.00, 202.75) vs. 123 (91.75, 163.00), P<0.05]. Despite the synchronized reduction of FiO2, the incidence of hyperoxia in the prone position was still significantly higher than that in the supine position [hyperoxia (%):33.33 vs. 33.56 vs. 12.42, P<0.05]; there was no significant change in arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) at each stage of PPV, but there was a significant increase in PH at PPV middle and late stages than those at early stage [PH: 7.39 (7.34, 7.42) vs. 7.37 (7.31, 7.41), P<0.05].ConclusionsAlthough PPV improves the patients' oxygenation, the associated incidence of hyperoxia exceeds 33%. Down-regulate FiO2 more sharply after PPV is necessary, if oxygenation conditions permit. PPV may alleviate the acidosis associated with permissive hypercapnia in ARDS patients treated with lung protective ventilation strategy (LPVS).

Project description:BackgroundPatients with COVID-19 who develop severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can have symptoms that rapidly evolve to profound hypoxaemia and death. The efficacy of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for patients with severe ARDS in the context of COVID-19 is unclear. We aimed to establish the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with respiratory failure and COVID-19 treated with ECMO.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was done in the Paris-Sorbonne University Hospital Network, comprising five intensive care units (ICUs) and included patients who received ECMO for COVID-19 associated ARDS. Patient demographics and daily pre-ECMO and on-ECMO data and outcomes were collected. Possible outcomes over time were categorised into four different states (states 1-4): on ECMO, in the ICU and weaned off ECMO, alive and out of ICU, or death. Daily probabilities of occupation in each state and of transitions between these states until day 90 post-ECMO onset were estimated with use of a multi-state Cox model stratified for each possible transition. Follow-up was right-censored on July 10, 2020.FindingsFrom March 8 to May 2, 2020, 492 patients with COVID-19 were treated in our ICUs. Complete day-60 follow-up was available for 83 patients (median age 49 [IQR 41-56] years and 61 [73%] men) who received ECMO. Pre-ECMO, 78 (94%) patients had been prone-positioned; their median driving pressure was 18 (IQR 16-21) cm H2O and PaO2/FiO2 was 60 (54-68) mm Hg. At 60 days post-ECMO initiation, the estimated probabilities of occupation in each state were 6% (95% CI 3-14) for state 1, 18% (11-28) for state 2, 45% (35-56) for state 3, and 31% (22-42) for state 4. 35 (42%) patients had major bleeding and four (5%) had a haemorrhagic stroke. 30 patients died.InterpretationThe estimated 60-day survival of ECMO-rescued patients with COVID-19 was similar to that of studies published in the past 2 years on ECMO for severe ARDS. If another COVID-19 outbreak occurs, ECMO should be considered for patients developing refractory respiratory failure despite optimised care.FundingNone.

Project description:ObjectivesICUs have had to deal with a large number of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome COVID-19, a significant number of whom received prone ventilation, which is a substantial consumer of care time. The selection of patients that we have to ventilate in prone position seems interesting. We evaluate the correlation between the percentage of collapsed dependent lung areas in the supine position, monitoring by electrical impedance tomography and the oxygenation response (change in Pao2/Fio2 ratio) to prone position.DesignAn observational prospective study.SettingFrom October 21, 2020, to 30 March 30, 2021. At the Sainte Anne military teaching Hospital and the Timone University Hospital.PatientsFifty consecutive patients admitted in our ICUs, with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome and required mechanical, were included. Twenty-four (48%) received prone ventilation. Fifty-eight prone sessions were investigated.InterventionsAn electrical impedance tomography recording was made in supine position, daily and repeated just before and just after the prone session. The daily dependent area collapse was calculated in relation to the previous electrical impedance tomography recording. Prone ventilation response was defined as a Pao2/Fio2 ratio improvement greater than 20%.Measurement and main resultsThe main outcome was the correlation between dependent area collapse and the oxygenation response to prone ventilation. Dependent area collapse was correlated with oxygenation response to prone ventilation (R2 = 0.49) and had a satisfactory prediction accuracy of prone response with an area under the curve of 0.94 (95% CI, 0.87-1.00; p < 0.001). Best Youden index was obtained for a dependent area collapse greater than 13.5 %. Sensitivity of 92% (95% CI, 78-97), a specificity of 91% (95% CI, 72-97), a positive predictive value of 94% (95% CI, 88-100), a negative predictive value of 87% (95% CI, 78-96), and a diagnostic accuracy of 91% (95% CI, 84-98).ConclusionsDependent lung areas collapse (> 13.5%), monitored by electrical impedance tomography, has an excellent positive predictive value (94%) of improved oxygenation during prone ventilation.

Project description:Patients on extracorporeal support for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome may require a prolonged period of deep sedation. In these patients, volatile sedation may represent a valid alternative to IV drugs. The aim of our study was to describe the feasibility of volatile sedation in a large cohort of acute respiratory distress syndrome patients undergoing venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and ultraprotective ventilation.DesignRetrospective monocentric study.SettingAdult ICU, ASST Monza, Italy.PatientsAdult patients who underwent volatile sedation with isoflurane during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation between 2009 and 2019.InterventionsIsoflurane was delivered via the AnaConDa system. The sedation level, hemodynamics, and laboratory tests were compared between the volatile sedation phase and the IV sedation phases before and after the isoflurane sedation period.Measurements and main resultsAbout 74 patients (50 yr [43-56 yr]) were included. Median duration of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support was 22 days (14-51 d). Volatile sedation started on day 3 (2-6) of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, and its median duration was 7 days (4-13 d), ranging from 1 to 38 days. A total of 970 venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation days were analyzed. During the volatile phase, the sedation level was slightly deeper (bispectral index 39 ± 6) compared with the IV phase before and after isoflurane (42 ± 8 and 43 ± 9, respectively, p < 0.001). Requirements of fentanyl and remifentanyl were reduced during the volatile phase. Minor differences in hemodynamics were observed during volatile sedation: mean arterial pressure was lower (75 ± 13 vs 79 ± 14 and 80 ± 15; p < 0.001), whereas cardiac output was higher (8.5 ± 1.9 vs 7.9 ± 1.8 and 8.0 ± 1.8; p = 0.003). Aspartate aminotransferase levels were lower during the volatile sedation phases (p < 0.001), whereas alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, and creatine phosphokinase were more altered during the IV sedation phase before isoflurane (p < 0.001).ConclusionsVolatile sedation represents an alternative to IV agents to achieve long-term deep sedation in critically ill patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation undergoing ultraprotective ventilation.
