Project description:Influenza virus is a major cause of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Early identification of patients who will suffer severe complications can help stratify patients for clinical trials and plan for resource use in case of pandemic. Objective:We aimed to identify which clinical variables best predict prolonged acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in influenza-infected critically ill children. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure was defined using hypoxemia cutoffs from international consensus definitions of acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with ventilatory support. Prolonged acute hypoxemic respiratory failure was defined by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure criteria still present at PICU day 7. Derivation Cohort:In this prospective multicenter study across 34 PICUs from November 2009 to April 2018, we included children (< 18 yr) without comorbid risk factors for severe disease. Validation Cohort:We used a Monte Carlo cross validation method with N 2 random train-test splits at a 70-30% proportion per model. Prediction Model:Using clinical data at admission (day 1) and closest to 8 am on PICU day 2, we calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve using random forests machine learning algorithms and logistic regression. Results:We included 258 children (median age = 6.5 yr) and 11 (4.2%) died. By day 2, 65% (n = 165) had acute hypoxemic respiratory failure dropping to 26% (n = 67) with prolonged acute hypoxemic respiratory failure by day 7. Those with prolonged acute hypoxemic respiratory failure had a longer ICU stay (16.5 vs 4.0 d; p < 0.001) and higher mortality (13.4% vs 1.0%). A multivariable model using random forests with 10 admission and eight day 2 variables performed best (0.93 area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; 95 CI%: 0.90-0.95) where respiratory rate, Fio2, and pH on day 2 were the most important factors. Conclusions:In this prospective multicentric study, most children with influenza virus-related respiratory failure with prolonged acute hypoxemic respiratory failure can be identified early in their hospital course applying machine learning onto routine clinical data. Further validation is needed prior to bedside implementation.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Subclassification based on clinical or biologic commonalities (endotypes) is one approach to reduce heterogeneity in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. In adults, biomarker-defined endotypes of respiratory failure have been described, with differential outcome profiles and response to therapy. To date, no studies have tested whether endotypes exist in pediatric acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, although messenger RNA expression-based endotypes have been described in pediatric sepsis. The aim of the present study was to test whether endotypes identified in pediatric sepsis are applicable to pediatric acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. DESIGN:Secondary analysis of a previously reported microarray-based study of pediatric sepsis. SETTING:Multiple PICUs in the United States. PATIENTS:Sixty-seven children with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure caused by sepsis. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Of the larger septic shock cohort, 67 met eligibility for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Twenty-three subjects were assigned to endotype A, and 44 to endotype B. Subjects assigned to endotype A had over four-fold greater unadjusted 28-day mortality, and nearly three-fold greater rates of complicated course. The association with mortality (odds ratio, 8.0; 95% CI, 1.6-41.0) and complicated course (odds ratio, 4.2; 95% CI, 1.2-14.9) persisted after adjustment for age, severity of illness, and PaO2/FIO2. CONCLUSIONS:Applying a previously reported endotyping strategy in children with septic shock identified endotypes of pediatric acute hypoxemic respiratory failure secondary to sepsis, with differential risk for poor outcomes. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of endotypes in pediatric respiratory failure. Our results support an investigation into using transcriptomics to identify messenger RNA-based endotypes in a dedicated, well-defined acute hypoxemic respiratory failure cohort.

Project description:ObjectivesTo characterize contemporary use of inhaled nitric oxide in pediatric acute respiratory failure and to assess relationships between clinical variables and outcomes. We sought to study the relationship of inhaled nitric oxide response to patient characteristics including right ventricular dysfunction and clinician responsiveness to improved oxygenation. We hypothesize that prompt clinician responsiveness to minimize hyperoxia would be associated with improved outcomes.DesignAn observational cohort study.SettingEight sites of the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network.PatientsOne hundred fifty-one patients who received inhaled nitric oxide for a primary respiratory indication.Measurements and main resultsClinical data were abstracted from the medical record beginning at inhaled nitric oxide initiation and continuing until the earliest of 28 days, ICU discharge, or death. Ventilator-free days, oxygenation index, and Functional Status Scale were calculated. Echocardiographic reports were abstracted assessing for pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular dysfunction, and other cardiovascular parameters. Clinician responsiveness to improved oxygenation was determined. One hundred thirty patients (86%) who received inhaled nitric oxide had improved oxygenation by 24 hours. PICU mortality was 29.8%, while a new morbidity was identified in 19.8% of survivors. Among patients who had echocardiograms, 27.9% had evidence of pulmonary hypertension, 23.1% had right ventricular systolic dysfunction, and 22.1% had an atrial communication. Moderate or severe right ventricular dysfunction was associated with higher mortality. Clinicians responded to an improvement in oxygenation by decreasing FIO2 to less than 0.6 within 24 hours in 71% of patients. Timely clinician responsiveness to improved oxygenation with inhaled nitric oxide was associated with more ventilator-free days but not less cardiac arrests, mortality, or additional morbidity.ConclusionsClinician responsiveness to improved oxygenation was associated with less ventilator days. Algorithms to standardize ventilator management may improve signal to noise ratios in future trials enabling better assessment of the effect of inhaled nitric oxide on patient outcomes. Additionally, confining studies to more selective patient populations such as those with right ventricular dysfunction may be required.

Project description:BackgroundThe effects of awake prone position on the breathing pattern of hypoxemic patients need to be better understood. We conducted a crossover trial to assess the physiological effects of awake prone position in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.MethodsFifteen patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and PaO2/FiO2 < 200 mmHg underwent high-flow nasal oxygen for 1 h in supine position and 2 h in prone position, followed by a final 1-h supine phase. At the end of each study phase, the following parameters were measured: arterial blood gases, inspiratory effort (ΔPES), transpulmonary driving pressure (ΔPL), respiratory rate and esophageal pressure simplified pressure-time product per minute (sPTPES) by esophageal manometry, tidal volume (VT), end-expiratory lung impedance (EELI), lung compliance, airway resistance, time constant, dynamic strain (VT/EELI) and pendelluft extent through electrical impedance tomography.ResultsCompared to supine position, prone position increased PaO2/FiO2 (median [Interquartile range] 104 mmHg [76-129] vs. 74 [69-93], p < 0.001), reduced respiratory rate (24 breaths/min [22-26] vs. 27 [26-30], p = 0.05) and increased ΔPES (12 cmH2O [11-13] vs. 9 [8-12], p = 0.04) with similar sPTPES (131 [75-154] cmH2O s min-1 vs. 105 [81-129], p > 0.99) and ΔPL (9 [7-11] cmH2O vs. 8 [5-9], p = 0.17). Airway resistance and time constant were higher in prone vs. supine position (9 cmH2O s arbitrary units-3 [4-11] vs. 6 [4-9], p = 0.05; 0.53 s [0.32-61] vs. 0.40 [0.37-0.44], p = 0.03). Prone position increased EELI (3887 arbitrary units [3414-8547] vs. 1456 [959-2420], p = 0.002) and promoted VT distribution towards dorsal lung regions without affecting VT size and lung compliance: this generated lower dynamic strain (0.21 [0.16-0.24] vs. 0.38 [0.30-0.49], p = 0.004). The magnitude of pendelluft phenomenon was not different between study phases (55% [7-57] of VT in prone vs. 31% [14-55] in supine position, p > 0.99).ConclusionsProne position improves oxygenation, increases EELI and promotes VT distribution towards dependent lung regions without affecting VT size, ΔPL, lung compliance and pendelluft magnitude. Prone position reduces respiratory rate and increases ΔPES because of positional increases in airway resistance and prolonged expiratory time. Because high ΔPES is the main mechanistic determinant of self-inflicted lung injury, caution may be needed in using awake prone position in patients exhibiting intense ΔPES. Clinical trail registeration: The study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03095300) on March 29, 2017.

Project description:Severe hypoxemic respiratory failure is frequently managed with invasive mechanical ventilation with or without prone position (PP). We describe 13 cases of nonhypercapnic acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) of varied etiology, who were treated successfully in PP without the need for intubation. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV), high-flow oxygen via nasal cannula, supplementary oxygen with venturi face mask, or nasal cannula were used variedly in these patients. Mechanical ventilatory support is offered to patients with AHRF when other methods, such as NIV and oxygen via high-flow nasal cannula, fail. Invasive mechanical ventilation is fraught with complications which could be immediate, ranging from worsening of hypoxemia, worsening hemodynamics, loss of airway, and even death. Late complications could be ventilator-associated pneumonia, biotrauma, tracheal stenosis, etc. Prone position is known to improve oxygenation and outcome in adult respiratory distress syndrome. We postulated that positioning an unintubated patient with AHRF in PP will improve oxygenation and avoid the need for invasive mechanical ventilation and thereby its complications. Here, we describe a series of 13 patients with hypoxemic respiratory of varied etiology, who were successfully treated in the PP without endotracheal intubation. Two patients (15.4%) had mild, nine (69.2%) had moderate, and two (15.4%) had severe hypoxemia. Oxygenation as assessed by PaO2/FiO2 ratio in supine position was 154 ± 52, which improved to 328 ± 65 after PP. Alveolar to arterial (A-a) O2 gradient improved from a median of 170.5 mm Hg interquartile range (IQR) (127.8, 309.7) in supine position to 49.1 mm Hg IQR (45.0, 56.6) after PP. This improvement in oxygenation took a median of 46 hours, IQR (24, 109). Thus, voluntary PP maneuver improved oxygenation and avoided endotracheal intubation in a select group of patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. This maneuver may be relevant in the ongoing novel coronavirus disease pandemic by potentially reducing endotracheal intubation and the need for ventilator and therefore better utilization of critical care services.How to cite this articleRao SV, Udhayachandar R, Rao VB, Raju NA, Nesaraj JJJ, Kandasamy S, et al.

Project description:Pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is a heterogeneous illness affecting 6% of mechanically ventilated children and with an overall mortality of 17%. Studies in PARDS have mainly focused on plasma biomarkers which may not reflect airway biomarkers. We lack adequate understanding of the inflammatory mediators and underlying immune responses in the airways of PARDS patients. Our objective was to compare the levels of cytokines in the airway fluid of intubated children with severe versus nonsevere acute respiratory distress syndrome.DesignProspective observational cohort study.SettingSingle 36-bed quaternary care academic safety-net hospital PICU.PatientsChildren intubated for acute respiratory failure between January 2018 and November 2021 stratified by Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference-1 criteria for PARDS.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsWe measured levels of 23 cytokines, chemokines, and protein biomarkers in the tracheal aspirate from 82 intubated children, between 14 days and 17 years old, at risk for or with PARDS. Levels of interleukin-4, -5, -7, -8, -12(p-70), -17a, -21, and fractalkine were higher in patients with severe versus nonsevere PARDS. There were no associations between airway and plasma cytokines.ConclusionsProinflammatory cytokines are elevated in the airway fluid from intubated children with severe PARDS and reflect diverse patterns of airway inflammation.

Project description:The transcriptional and phenotypic characteristics that define alveolar monocyte and macrophage subsets in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) are poorly understood. We applied CITE-seq (single-cell RNA-sequencing + cell-surface protein quantification) to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and peripheral blood cells longitudinally collected from subjects with AHRF to identify novel alveolar monocyte/macrophage subsets, and then validated their identity in an external cohort using flow cytometry. We identified 2 monocyte and 6 macrophage subsets in alveolar samples using CITE-seq data. Some of the subsets had similar transcriptional profiles as those reported in healthy subjects (metallothionein genes) or patients with COVID-19 (LGMN-expressing). We also identified novel subsets with transcriptional signatures that straddled previously reported monocyte and macrophage subsets. We used information from CITE-seq to determine cell-surface proteins that distinguish transcriptional subsets (CD14, CD163, CD123, CD71, CD48, CD86, and CD44). In the external cohort, we found a higher proportion of CD163/LGMN alveolar macrophages was associated with mortality. We report a parsimonious set of cell-surface proteins that can distinguish alveolar monocyte/macrophage subsets using scalable approaches that can be applied to clinical cohorts.

Project description:Whereas prone positioning of intubated patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome represents the standard of care, proning non-intubated patients, so-called "awake prone positioning (APP)," has only recently gained popularity and undergone scientific evaluation. In this review, we summarize current evidence on physiological and clinical effects of APP on patients' centered outcomes, such as intubation and mortality, the safety of the technique, factors and predictors of success, practical issues for optimal implementation, and future areas of research. Current evidence supports using APP among patients suffering from acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19 and undergoing advanced respiratory support, such as high-flow nasal cannula, in an intensive care unit setting. Healthcare teams should aim to prone patients at least 8 h daily. Future research should focus on optimizing the tolerance of the technique and comprehensively evaluating benefits in other patient populations.

Project description:Importance: Monocytes are plastic cells that assume different polarization states that can either promote inflammation or tissue repair and inflammation resolution. Polarized monocytes are partially defined by their transcriptional profiles that are influenced by environmental stimuli. The airway monocyte response in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is undefined. Objectives: To identify differentially expressed genes and networks using a novel transcriptomic reporter assay with donor monocytes exposed to the airway fluid of intubated children with and at-risk for PARDS. To determine differences in gene expression at two time points using the donor monocyte assay exposed to airway fluid from intubated children with PARDS obtained 48-96 hours following initial tracheal aspirate sampling. Design, Setting and Participants: In vitro pilot study carried out using airway fluid supernatant from 57 children: 44 children with PARDS and 13 children at-risk for PARDS. Main Outcomes and Measures: We performed bulk RNA sequencing using a transcriptomic reporter assay of monocytes exposed to airway fluid from intubated children to discover gene networks differentiating PARDS from at-risk for PARDS. We also report differences in gene expression in children with PARDS 48-96 hours following initial tracheal aspirate sampling. Results: We found that interleukin (IL)-10, -4, and -13, cytokine/chemokine signaling, and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype are upregulated in monocytes exposed to airway fluid from intubated children with PARDS compared to those at-risk for PARDS. Signaling by NOTCH, histone deacetylation/acetylation, DNA methylation, chromatin modifications (B-WICH complex), and RNA polymerase I transcription and its associated regulatory apparatus were upregulation in children with PARDS 48-96 hours following initial tracheal aspirate sampling. Conclusions and Relevance: We identified gene networks important to the PARDS airway immune response using bulk RNA sequencing from a monocyte reporter assay that exposed monocytes to airway fluid from intubated children with and at-risk for PARDS. Mechanistic investigations are needed to validate our findings.
