This document discusses principles of ventilation in acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It defines ALI/ARDS and describes the pathophysiology involving increased vascular and alveolar permeability leading to pulmonary edema. Ventilator-induced lung injury can occur from high pressures, volumes, and alveolar collapse/reopening during mechanical ventilation. The "open lung approach" aims to recruit collapsed alveoli and maintain them open using maneuvers like higher positive end-expiratory pressure and periodic recruitment breaths to high pressure while limiting tidal volumes and airway pressures. Proper positive end-expiratory pressure setting and periodic recruitment are important to optimize ventilation in ALI/ARDS patients.

11. Figure: Schema representation of sponge model. In ARDS the “tissue”, likely edema in
the early phase, is almost doubled in each lung level compared with normal,
indicating the nongravitational distribution of edema. The increased mass, however,
causes an increased superimposed pressure (SP), which in turn, leads to a “gas
squeezing” from the most dependent lung regions. Superimposed pressure in
expressed as cm H2O. The values indicated in the figures are taken from Pelosi and
cowerkers.

• 1:Cel mai mare impact
hemodinamic
• 3>1 daca presiuni mai mari
ca cele tolerate la 1 sunt
necesare
• 1>3 pentru ca recrutarea
depinde mult de MANP

50. Recrutam pas cu pas?
When collapse is prevalent (top), the overall
pleural pressure results very low and the local
transpulmonary pressures increase
significantly. The risk of overdistension is very
high at this condition, especially if one
considers a single step – high pressure
recruiting maneuver. Contrarily, we propose
the application of lower pressure at this
moment (top), increasing it progressively as
new units get recruited.

51. Facilitarea recrutarii
• Pozitie prona
• Presiune de inspir adecvata (40-45 cmH2O)
• PEEP adecvat
• Cel mai mic FiO2 acceptabil (in afara
momentului recrutarii – Lachmann)
• Respiratie spontana posibila
(BIPAP, Autoflow, APRV)
• Minimizeaza edemul interstitial
(repletie volemica adecvata,
monitorizare EVLW-PICCO,Vigileo,
TA invaziv - ΔdoǁŶ+Δup)

52. Factori determinanti ai eficientei recrutarii (1)
• Tipul de ARDS EP>Pulm
• Stadiul ARDS
• Punctul de pornire
• PEEP postrecrutare
• Tipul de manevra
• PaO2/FiO2 < 150 (at PEEP 5 cm H2O)
• RxCP – voalat
• LIP – pe curba PV, bratul inspirator

53. Factori determinanti ai eficientei recrutarii (2)

55. Care este PEEP-ul optim?

Electric impedance tomography (EIT)
images are presented on the right,
whereas the corresponding CT images
(obtained at the same PEEP level) are
represented in the left side of the
figure. The EIT images represent the
ventilation map during tidal breaths.
Brighter areas indicate pixels with
larger impedance variations (larger
alveolar ventilation) during tidal
breaths. Excessive, as well as
insufficient PEEP levels, caused uneven
ventilation. Excessive PEEP caused
preferential ventilation in the
dependent lung zones (because of the
relative overdistention of non –
dependent lung zones). Insufficient
PEEP caused dependent collapse with
preferential ventilation towards the
patent airspaces at the non- dependent
“baby lung”.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Prone positioning appears to improve the oxygenation of most
patients with ALI or ARDS; however, a mortality benefit has not been
established.
• Post-hoc analyses of multiple studies suggest that the greatest benefit of
prone positioning occurs in the sickest patients if used early after the
diagnosis of ALI or ARDS.
• Duration: The optimal duration of prone positioning is unknown. While
many studies have used repeated sessions lasting approximately six to
eight hours per day, impressive and persistent improvements in
oxygenation have been noted with prone positioning of longer duration
• Routine prone positioning of all patients with ALI or ARDS is not
recommended because there is substantial inconvenience associated with
its use and there is insufficient data demonstrating improvement of patient-important
outcomes.
• In our clinical practice, however, we implement prone positioning early in
selected patients with ALI or ARDS. Specifically, we initiate prone
positioning if our goals of lung-protective ventilation are not being met, or
if there is persistent respiratory acidosis or tissue hypoxia despite standard
ventilation in the supine position. This reflects our belief that the risks of
prone positioning are minimal when properly performed and that the
physiologic rationale for its use is sound.

88. HFV - Indicatii
• There are no universally accepted indications for HFV. Its use has also been
described in a variety of clinical situations. HFV should be avoided in patients with
obstructive lung disease. .
• There is evidence that HFOV and HFPV improve oxygenation, although neither has
been shown to improve clinical outcomes (eg, mortality, duration of mechanical
ventilation, or length of ICU stay).
• HFV is not risk free. Potential harms include intrinsic positive end-expiratory
pressure (auto-PEEP), dynamic hyperinflation, and related sequelae (eg, pulmonary
barotrauma, hemodynamic instability). In addition, there are specific risks associated
with each type of HFV.
• Bronchopleural fistula — HFJV is approved by the United States Food
and Drug Administration for ventilating patients in whom a large and persistent
bronchopleural fistula exists. However, the likelihood that HFJV will allow the
bronchopleural fistula to close is unpredictable. While HFJV may promote fistula
closure by limiting alveolar distension, this may be outweighed in some patients by
increased plateau airway pressure (alveolar pressure), decreased oxygenation, or
worse hypercapnia.
• ALI/ARDS — The theoretical benefit of using HFV in patients with ALI/ARDS
relates to the small tidal volumes. A strategy of low tidal volume ventilation has been
proven in randomized trials to improve mortality, possibly due to decreased alveolar
distension and ventilator-associated lung injury. Although the trials did not use HFV,
many clinicians suspect that HFV confers a similar benefit. Until this is proven, HFV
should not be considered routine care for patients with ALI/ARDS. HFV is
used by some clinicians when there is persistent hypoxemia during the first three
days of mechanical ventilation despite maximal conventional therapy, although the
data to support this are limited

91. LV (TLV+PLV)
• Ventilatie cu perfluorocarbon (Ex perflubron – C,H, fluor, brom-radioopac)
• Carrier inert de oxigen si CO2(O2=15 x plasma)
• Nontoxic, abs sistemica minima, stabil chimic
• Incolor, inodor, limpede
• PFG abs e metabolizat de macrofage
• Eliminare I prin volatilizare
Avantaje:
1. Ļ TS
2. Rezervor de oxigen
3. Deschide si mentine deschise alveolele prin presiune hidraulica (Ļ riscul
de barotrauma)
4. Δ Q minima
5. V/Q mismatch Ļ (PFG sunt grele si “merg” in zonele dependente)
6. Favorizeaza lavajul
7. Efect antiinflamator
In theory, LV may be of benefit for numerous neonatal and adult
diseases. Clinical trials, however, have shown little improvement in
important clinical outcomes. As a result, LV cannot be recommended in
routine clinical care. (www.UpToDate.org)

93. Indicator of the Severity of Lung
Injury and a Predictor of Mortality
•For every 0.05 increase in
dead space fraction, the
odds of death increased by
45%.
•Other observational studies
suggest that a value of 0.60
or higher may be
associated with more
severe lung injury.
