RESUMO

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) has never been applied in patients recovering from acute brain injury (ABI) because neural respiratory drive could be affected by intracranial disease with detrimental effects on cerebral blood flow (CBF) velocity. Our primary aim was to assess the impact of NAVA and pressure support ventilation (PSV) on CBF velocity. In fifteen adult patients recovering from ABI and undergoing invasive assisted ventilation, PSV and NAVA were applied over 30-min-lasting trials, in the following sequence: PSV1, NAVA, and PSV2. While PSV was set to deliver a tidal volume ranging between 6 and 8 ml kg-1 of predicted body weight, in NAVA the level of assistance was chosen to achieve the same inspiratory peak airway pressure as PSV. At the end of each trial, a sonographic evaluation of CBF mean velocity was bilaterally obtained on the middle cerebral artery and an arterial blood gas sample was taken for analysis. CBF mean velocity was 51.8 [41.9,75.2] cm  s-1 at baseline, 51.9 [43.4,71.0] cm s-1 in PSV1, 53.6 [40.7,67.7] cm s-1 in NAVA, and 49.5 [42.1,70.8] cm s-1 in PSV2 (p = 0.0514) on the left and 50.2 [38.0,77.7] cm s-1 at baseline, 47.8 [41.7,68.2] cm s-1 in PSV1, 53.9 [40.1,78.5] cm s-1 in NAVA, and 55.6 [35.9,74.1] cm s-1 in PSV2 (p = 0.8240) on the right side. No differences were detected for pH (p = 0.0551), arterial carbon dioxide tension (p = 0.8142), and oxygenation (p = 0.0928) over the entire study duration. NAVA and PSV preserved CBF velocity in patients recovering from ABI.Trial registration: The present trial was prospectively registered at www.clinicatrials.gov (NCT03721354) on October 18th, 2018.

RESUMO

In patients intubated for hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (ARF) related to novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we retrospectively compared two weaning strategies, early extubation with immediate non-invasive ventilation (NIV) versus standard weaning encompassing spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), with respect to IMV duration (primary endpoint), extubation failures and reintubations, rate of tracheostomy, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay and mortality (additional endpoints). All COVID-19 adult patients, intubated for hypoxemic ARF and subsequently extubated, were enrolled. Patients were included in two groups, early extubation followed by immediate NIV application, and conventionally weaning after passing SBT. 121 patients were enrolled and analyzed, 66 early extubated and 55 conventionally weaned after passing an SBT. IMV duration was 9 [6-11] days in early extubated patients versus 11 [6-15] days in standard weaning group (p = 0.034). Extubation failures [12 (18.2%) vs. 25 (45.5%), p = 0.002] and reintubations [12 (18.2%) vs. 22 (40.0%) p = 0.009] were fewer in early extubation compared to the standard weaning groups, respectively. Rate of tracheostomy, ICU mortality, and ICU length of stay were no different between groups. Compared to standard weaning, early extubation followed by immediate NIV shortened IMV duration and reduced the rate of extubation failure and reintubation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Transthoracic echocardiography may potentially be useful to obtain a prompt, accurate and non-invasive estimation of cardiac output. We evaluated whether non-cardiologist intensivists may obtain accurate and reproducible cardiac output determination in hemodynamically unstable mechanically ventilated patients. METHODS: We studied 25 hemodynamically unstable mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients with a pulmonary artery catheter in place. Cardiac output was calculated using the pulsed Doppler transthoracic echocardiography technique applied to the left ventricular outflow tract in apical 5 chamber view by two intensive care unit physicians who had received a basic Transthoracic Echocardiography training plus a specific training focused on Doppler, left ventricular outflow tract and velocity-time integral determination. RESULTS: Cardiac output assessment by transthoracic echocardiography was feasible in 20 out of 25 enrolled patients (80%) and showed an excellent inter-operator reproducibility (Pearson correlation test r=0.987; Cohen's K=0.840). Overall, the mean bias was 0.03L.min-1, with limits of agreement -0.52 and +0.57L.min-1. The concordance correlation coefficient (ρc) was 0.986 (95% IC 0.966-0.995) and 0.995 (95% IC 0.986-0.998) for physician 1 and 2, respectively. The value of accuracy (Cb) of COTTE measurement was 0.999 for both observers. The value of precision (ρ) of COTTE measurement was 0.986 and 0.995 for observer 1 and 2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: A specific training focused on Doppler and VTI determination added to the standard basic transthoracic echocardiography training allowed non-cardiologist intensive care unit physicians to achieve a quick, reproducible and accurate snapshot cardiac output assessment in the majority of mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Early identification of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) outcome predictors in patients with COPD who are experiencing acute hypercapnic respiratory failure consequent to exacerbation or pneumonia is a critical issue. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of performing diaphragmatic ultrasound for excursion, thickness, and thickening fraction in highly dyspneic subjects with COPD admitted to the emergency department for exacerbation or pneumonia, before starting NIV (T0) and after the first (T1) and second hour (T2) of treatment. Secondarily, we determined whether these variables predicted early NIV failure. METHODS: Adult subjects with COPD admitted to the emergency department for exacerbation or pneumonia requiring NIV were eligible. Right-sided diaphragmatic excursion, bilateral thickness, thickening fraction, and arterial blood gas analyses were performed at T0, T1, and T2. Feasibility was estimated by considering the number of subjects whose diaphragmatic function could be evaluated at each time point. At T2, subjects were classified in 2 subgroups according to early NIV failure, which was defined as the inability to achieve a pH ≥ 7.35; the ability to achieve pH ≥ 7.35 indicated NIV success. RESULTS: Of the 22 subjects enrolled, 21 underwent complete diaphragm ultrasound evaluation (ie, right excursion and bilateral thickness at T0, T1, and T2) for a total of 63 excursion and 126 thickness assessments. At T2, 12 NIV successes and 9 NIV failures were recorded. Diaphragmatic excursion was greater in NIV successes than in NIV failures at T0 (1.92 [1.22-2.54] cm versus 1.00 [0.60-1.41] cm, P = .02), at T1 (2.14 [1.76-2.77] cm versus 0.93 [0.82-1.27] cm, P = .007), and at T2 (1.99 [1.63-2.54] cm versus 1.20 [0.79-1.41] cm, P = .008), respectively. Diaphragmatic thickness and thickening fraction were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: In our emergency department setting, diaphragm ultrasound was a feasible and reliable tool to monitor highly dyspneic acute hypercapnic respiratory failure subjects with COPD undergoing NIV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used in general wards, limited information exists about its ability to provide effective ventilation in this setting. We aim to evaluate NIV delivered in the ward by assessing (1) overall time of application and occurrence of adverse events and (2) differences between daytime and nighttime NIV application. METHODS: We studied subjects with hypercapnic acute hypercapnic respiratory failure not fulfilling strict criteria for ICU admission, and excluded those who interrupted NIV prior to 48 h. Time spent on NIV, presence and extent of air leaks, and occurrence of desaturations were assessed for the overall study period, and compared between daytime and nighttime. RESULTS: We enrolled 42 subjects, 25 of whom received NIV for at least 48 h and were included in the data analysis. NIV was successful for 20 subjects, who did not reach criteria for ICU admission. Both PaCO2 and pH significantly improved on average after 2 h and at the end of the study period. NIV was applied for 64.5% of the overall study period and had absent or compensated air leaks for 62.3% of the overall 48-h period. NIV was applied for 55.8% of daytime and for 79.3% of nighttime (P < .01). Effective NIV application was significantly longer overnight (76.9%) than during daytime (53.2%) (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: In selected subjects with hypercapnic acute respiratory failure not fulfilling criteria for ICU admission, the application of NIV in the ward is feasible; in addition, NIV can be safely administered overnight.

Resumo Justificativa e objetivos: A ecocardiografia transtorácica pode ser potencialmente útil para obter uma estimativa rápida, precisa e não invasiva do débito cardíaco. Avaliamos se os intensivistas não cardiologistas podem obter uma determinação precisa e reprodutível do débito cardíaco em pacientes mecanicamente ventilados e hemodinamicamente instáveis. Métodos: Avaliamos 25 pacientes em unidade de terapia intensiva, mecanicamente ventilados, hemodinamicamente instáveis, com cateteres de artéria pulmonar posicionados. O débito cardíaco foi calculado com a técnica de ecocardiografia transtorácica com Doppler pulsátil aplicada à via de saída do ventrículo esquerdo no corte apical (5-câmaras) por dois médicos intensivistas que receberam treinamento básico em ecocardiografia transtorácica e treinamento específico focado em Doppler, via de saída do ventrículo esquerdo e determinação da integral de tempo-velocidade. Resultados: A avaliação do débito cardíaco pelo ecocardiograma transtorácico foi factível em 20 dos 25 pacientes inscritos (80%) e mostrou excelente reprodutibilidade entre operadores (teste de correlação de Pearson r = 0,987; K de Cohen = 0,840). No geral, o viés médio foi de 0,03 L.min-1, com limites de concordância de -0,52 e +0,57 L.min-1. O coeficiente de correlação de concordância (ρc) foi 0,986 (95% IC 0,966-0,995) e 0,995 (95% IC 0,986-0,998) para os médicos 1 e 2, respectivamente. O valor de precisão (Cb) da mensuração de COTTE foi de 0,999 para ambos os observadores. O valor de precisão (ρ) da mensuração de COTTE foi de 0,986 e 0,995 para os observadores 1 e 2, respectivamente. Conclusões: Um treinamento específico focado na determinação do Doppler e VTI, adicionado ao treinamento padrão em ecocardiografia transtorácica básica, permitiu que médicos não cardiologistas da unidade de terapia intensiva obtivessem uma avaliação rápida, reprodutível e precisa do débito cardíaco instantâneo na maioria dos pacientes mecanicamente ventilados em unidade de terapia intensiva.
