- ItemImpact of respiratory cycle during mechanical ventilation on beat-to-beat right ventricle stroke volume estimation by pulmonary artery pulse wave analysis(2024) Santos, Arnoldo; Monge-García, M. Ignacio; Borges, João Batista ; Retamal Montes, Jaime; Tusman, Gerardo; Larsson, Anders; Suarez-Sipmann, FernandoBackground: The same principle behind pulse wave analysis can be applied on the pulmonary artery (PA) pressure waveform to estimate right ventricle stroke volume (RVSV). However, the PA pressure waveform might be infuenced by the direct transmission of the intrathoracic pressure changes throughout the respiratory cycle caused by mechanical ventilation (MV), potentially impacting the reliability of PA pulse wave analysis (PAPWA). We assessed a new method that minimizes the direct efect of the MV on continuous PA pressure measurements and enhances the reliability of PAPWA in tracking beat-to-beat RVSV. Methods: Continuous PA pressure and fow were simultaneously measured for 2–3 min in 5 pigs using a high-fdelity micro-tip catheter and a transonic fow sensor around the PA trunk, both pre and post an experimental ARDS model. RVSV was estimated by PAPWA indexes such as pulse pressure (SVPP), systolic area (SVSystAUC) and standard deviation (SVSD) beat-to-beat from both corrected and non-corrected PA signals. The reference RVSV was derived from the PA fow signal (SVref ). Results: The reliability of PAPWA in tracking RVSV on a beat-to-beat basis was enhanced after accounting for the direct impact of intrathoracic pressure changes induced by MV throughout the respiratory cycle. This was evidenced by an increase in the correlation between SVref and RVSV estimated by PAPWA under healthy conditions: rho between SVref and non-corrected SVSD – 0.111 (0.342), corrected SVSD 0.876 (0.130), non-corrected SVSystAUC 0.543 (0.141) and corrected SVSystAUC 0.923 (0.050). Following ARDS, correlations were SVref and non-corrected SVSD – 0.033 (0.262), corrected SVSD 0.839 (0.077), non-corrected SVSystAUC 0.483 (0.114) and corrected SVSystAUC 0.928 (0.026). Correction also led to reduced limits of agreement between SVref and SVSD and SVSystAUC in the two evaluated conditions. Conclusions: In our experimental model, we confrmed that correcting for mechanical ventilation induced changes during the respiratory cycle improves the performance of PAPWA for beat-to-beat estimation of RVSV compared to uncorrected measurements. This was demonstrated by a better correlation and agreement between the actual SV and the obtained from PAPWA.
- ItemNon-lobar atelectasis generates inflammation and structural alveolar injury in the surrounding healthy tissue during mechanical ventilation(2014) Retamal Montes, Jaime; Bergamini, Bruno C.; Carvalho, Alysson R.; Bozza, Fernando A.; Borzone, Gisella; Batista Borges, Joao; Larsson, Anders; Hedenstierna, Goran; Bugedo Tarraza, Guillermo; Bruhn, AlejandroAbstract Introduction When alveoli collapse the traction forces exerted on their walls by adjacent expanded units may increase and concentrate. These forces may promote its re-expansion at the expense of potentially injurious stresses at the interface between the collapsed and the expanded units. We developed an experimental model to test the hypothesis that a local non-lobar atelectasis can act as a stress concentrator, contributing to inflammation and structural alveolar injury in the surrounding healthy lung tissue during mechanical ventilation. Methods A total of 35 rats were anesthetized, paralyzed and mechanically ventilated. Atelectasis was induced by bronchial blocking: after five minutes of stabilization and pre-oxygenation with FIO2 = 1.0, a silicon cylinder blocker was wedged in the terminal bronchial tree. Afterwards, the animals were randomized between two groups: 1) Tidal volume (VT) = 10 ml/kg and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) = 3 cmH2O (VT10/PEEP3); and 2) VT = 20 ml/kg and PEEP = 0 cmH2O (VT20/zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP)). The animals were then ventilated during 180 minutes. Three series of experiments were performed: histological (n = 12); tissue cytokines (n = 12); and micro-computed tomography (microCT; n = 2). An additional six, non-ventilated, healthy animals were used as controls. Results Atelectasis was successfully induced in the basal region of the lung of 26 out of 29 animals. The microCT of two animals revealed that the volume of the atelectasis was 0.12 and 0.21 cm3. There were more alveolar disruption and neutrophilic infiltration in the peri-atelectasis region than the corresponding contralateral lung (control) in both groups. Edema was higher in the peri-atelectasis region than the corresponding contralateral lung (control) in the VT20/ZEEP than VT10/PEEP3 group. The volume-to-surface ratio was higher in the peri-atelectasis region than the corresponding contralateral lung (control) in both groups. We did not find statistical difference in tissue interleukin-1? and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 between regions.
