Abstract
Purpose of review: Respiratory drive is frequently deranged in the ICU, being associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Monitoring and modulating respiratory drive to prevent potentially injurious consequences merits attention. This review gives a general overview of the available monitoring tools and interventions to modulate drive.
Recent findings: Airway occlusion pressure (P0.1) is an excellent measure of drive and is displayed on ventilators. Respiratory drive can also be estimated based on the electrical activity of respiratory muscles and measures of respiratory effort; however, high respiratory drive might be present in the context of low effort with neuromuscular weakness. Modulating a deranged drive requires a multifaceted intervention, prioritizing treatment of the underlying cause and adjusting ventilator settings for comfort. Additional tools include changes in PEEP, peak inspiratory flow, fraction of inspired oxygen, and sweep gas flow (in patients receiving extracorporeal life-support). Sedatives and opioids have differential effects on drive according to drug category. Monitoring response to any intervention is warranted and modulating drive should not preclude readiness to wean assessment or delay ventilation liberation.
Summary: Monitoring and modulating respiratory drive are feasible based on physiological principles presented in this review. However, evidence arising from clinical trials will help determine precise thresholds and optimal interventions.
