ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) involves immune cell death and removal from the injured lungs. ARDS severity is related to lung compliance. However, the correlation between the respiratory mechanics and alveolar immune cell death in patients with ARDS remains unclear.METHODS:
Twenty-four patients with respiratory failure and ARDS were enrolled in the intensive care unit between November 2019 and November 2021. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and cell death of lymphocytes and monocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were detected on days 1 and 8.RESULTS:
Lung compliance was positively correlated with the cell death percentage of alveolar CD4/CD8 lymphocytes and monocytes on day 8 (Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) = 0.554, p = 0.005; r = 0.422, p = 0.040; r = 0.569, p = 0.004, respectively). There was no association between lung compliance and the percentage of alveolar NETs on days 1 and 8. The cell death percentages of alveolar CD4/CD8 lymphocytes and monocytes were negatively correlated with driving pressure (DP) on days 1 (r = - 0.440, p = 0.032; r = - 0.613, p = 0.001; r = -0.557, p = 0.005, respectively) and 8 (r = - 0.459, p = 0.024; r = - 0.407, p = 0.048; r = - 0.607, p = 0.002, respectively). The cell death percentages of alveolar CD4/CD8 lymphocytes and monocytes were also negatively correlated with mechanical power (MP) on days 1 (r = - 0.558, p = 0.005; r = - 0.593, p = 0.002; r = - 0.571, p = 0.004, respectively) and 8 (r = - 0.539, p = 0.007; r = - 0.338, p = 0.107; r = - 0.649, p < 0.001, respectively). The percentage of alveolar NETs on days 1 and 8 was not associated with DP or MP.CONCLUSION:
Patients with higher cell death rates of alveolar CD4/CD8 lymphocytes and monocytes exhibited lower DP and MP. Patients with less cell death of alveolar CD4/CD8 lymphocytes and monocytes required more DP or MP to maintain adequate ventilation.Key words
