Following a decremental PEEP trial (18 cmH<sub>2</sub>O to 4 cmH<sub>2</sub>O), PEEP<sub>EIT-∆PL</sub> was identified as the level with the smallest difference between lung overdistension and collapse. A low PEEP/FiO<sub>2</sub> table was used to select PEEP<sub>TABLE</sub>.

Median PEEP<sub>EIT-∆PL</sub> was higher than PEEP<sub>TABLE</sub> (10 [8–12] vs. 8 [5–10] cmH<sub>2</sub>O; <i>P</i> = 0.021) and, at the individual patient level, PEEP<sub>EIT-∆PL</sub> level differed from PEEP<sub>TABLE</sub> in all patients. Overall, PEEP<sub>EIT-∆PL</sub> was associated with lower dynamic ∆PL (<i>P</i> < 0.001) and pressure–time product (<i>P</i> < 0.001), but there was variability among patients. PEEP<sub>EIT-∆PL</sub> also decreased respiratory drive and effort (<i>P</i> < 0.001), improved regional lung mechanics (<i>P</i> < 0.05) and reversed lung collapse (<i>P</i> = 0.007) without increasing overdistension (<i>P</i> = 0.695).</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Conclusion</h3><p>Personalized PEEP selected using synchronized EIT and transpulmonary pressure monitoring could be associated with reduced dynamic lung stress and metabolic work of breathing in ARDS patients undergoing PSV.</p>","PeriodicalId":13665,"journal":{"name":"Intensive Care Medicine","volume":"245 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":38.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142598507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
