Abstract
Introduction
The effect of MIP on extravascular lung water generation (EVLW) is not known. Our aim was to compare a resistive breathing trial (RBT) to MIP in terms of EVLW generation and in predicting the weaning outcome.
Methods
In patients undergoing a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) for the first time we compared the EVLW generated, using lung ultrasound (B-lines), during MIP to SBT and RBT; MIP, airway pressure swings during RBT (ΔPawRBT) and its ratio to rapid shallow breathing index during RBT (ΔPaw/RSBI)RBT were assessed as indices of weaning prediction. Additionally, we assessed the relationship of MIP, ΔPawRBT and (ΔPaw/RSBI)RBT to esophageal (Pes) and transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) and the pressure-time product of the Pes (PTPes). Weaning failure was defined as SBT failure or need for reintubation at 48 h.
Measurement and main results
Thirty-three patients were enrolled. B-lines, heart rate and blood pressure were higher during MIP compared to RBT (p < 0.001). ΔPawRBT, (ΔPaw/RSBI)RBT and MIP were higher in patients succeeding weaning compared to those who failed [19.53 cmH2O (±11.91) vs 10.77 cmH2O (±8.94), p = 0.027], [0.16 cmH₂O·L·min⁻¹ (0.16) vs 0.05 cmH₂O·L·min⁻¹ (0.03), p < 0.001)], [41.39 cmH2O (14.59) vs 16.34 cmH2O (20.3), p = 0.002]. ROC analysis showed no difference between MIP and ΔPawRBT or (ΔPaw/RSBI)RBT in predicting weaning outcome; ΔPawRBT and (ΔPaw/RSBI)RBT correlated with Pes, Pdi and PTPes (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
(ΔPaw/RSBI)RBT predicted weaning outcome with similar accuracy to MIP and was associated with less B-lines, HR and BP alterations; RBT-derived airway pressures are a promising novel method for weaning outcome prediction and respiratory muscle strength assessment.
期刊介绍:
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology (RESPNB) publishes original articles and invited reviews concerning physiology and pathophysiology of respiration in its broadest sense.
Although a special focus is on topics in neurobiology, high quality papers in respiratory molecular and cellular biology are also welcome, as are high-quality papers in traditional areas, such as:
-Mechanics of breathing-
Gas exchange and acid-base balance-
Respiration at rest and exercise-
Respiration in unusual conditions, like high or low pressure or changes of temperature, low ambient oxygen-
Embryonic and adult respiration-
Comparative respiratory physiology.
Papers on clinical aspects, original methods, as well as theoretical papers are also considered as long as they foster the understanding of respiratory physiology and pathophysiology.
