About this study

Some ICU ventilated patients might present with large tidal volume despite very low or inexistant presser support. Patient-Self Inflicted Lung Injury (P-SILI) might appear related with large alveolar stretch an distension. Two clinical presentations are observed: patients with or without respiratory distress signs such as supra-clavicular depression and thoracic-abdominal asynchronies.

The aim of this study is to compare the pulmonary physio(-patho)logical parameters of these two types of patients (eupneic or with respiratory distress signs), and presenting important TV in spite of a minimal adjustment of the ventilatory support, except for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

Read the detailed description

The use of invasive mechanical ventilation is one of the most frequent therapies in the intensive care unit. There are several types of indication, depending on the failure: mainly neurological, hemodynamic or respiratory. In recent years, the concept of Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI) has led to changes in ventilator settings in both intensive care units and operative rooms. Thus, tidal volume (TV) reduction to 6-8 mL.kg-1 of predicted body weight, the use of an individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and the possible use of therapies to optimize pulmonary aeration (alveolar recruitment maneuvers, prone positioning sessions...) have become mandatory. More recently, some authors have described the existence of Patient-Self Inflicted Lung Injury (P-SILI). In certain situations (delirium, encephalopathies, pulmonary receptor stimulation, metabolic acidosis...), some patients may present, in spite of an "optimized" ventilator setting, very important VT, which may exceed 10 mL.kg-1 of theoretical ideal weight. Two circumstances of observation of these large VT needs despite low pressure supports can be observed. The first corresponds to a patient with signs of respiratory distress (signs of respiratory distress: supra-clavicular, thoraco-abdominal asynchronies...) who presents with significant inspiratory efforts. The second is a patient with no sign of respiratory distress (eupnea). In both cases, the "trigger" comes from a (hyper)-stimulation (drive) of respiratory brainstem centers.

It is currently uncertain whether these two types of patients are comparable in terms of P-SILI. It is possible that in the second case, lesions are non-existent (or minimal) due to low trans-pulmonary pressure (stress) and low levels of pulmonary alveolar distension (strain). Indeed, the most likely determinant of alveolar injury is trans-pulmonary pressure, defined as the difference between upper airway pressure and pleural pressure (Ptp = Paw - Ppl). Thus, in case of a negative pathophysiological parameter, it would be preferable to sedate the patient more deeply and to temporarily consider controlled mechanical ventilation to limit the alveolar stretch and lesions. However, we know that excessive sedation of resuscitation patients increases their morbidity and mortality, by exposing them to increased duration of mechanical ventilation, and thus to the risk of pneumonia acquired under mechanical ventilation. In this context, daily sedation release tests are recommended. Physicians must therefore find the right balance between an optimal level of sedation compatible with the least deleterious ventilatory support possible.

The aim of this study is to compare the pulmonary physio(-patho)logical parameters of these two types of patients (eupneic or with respiratory distress signs), and presenting important TV in spite of a minimal adjustment of the ventilatory support, except for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

    Multiparametric assessments will necessitate the use of a plastic belt to record electro-impedancemetry tomography data; and a nano-gatsric tube fitted with esophageal and gastric low pressure balloons

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Transpulmonary driving pressure

    Comparison of transpulmonary motor pressure levels during spontaneous invasive mechanical ventilation of patients with large tidal volumes (>10 mL.kg-1 theoretical ideal weight) despite minimal pressure support (inspiratory support <5 cmH20). Transpulmonary motor pressure is defined as follows:

    ΔPtp = (Pplateau - Inspiratory Poeso) - (PEEP - Expiratory Poeso)

    Measured: During 1 hour starting from inclusion

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Transpulmonary pressure (alveolar stress)

    Maximum transpulmonary pressure (alveolar stress) defined as follows:

    Ptp = Pplateau - Inspiratory Poeso

    Measured: At inclusion and after 1 hour

  2. Pressure of respiratory occlusion (P0,1)

    Pressure of respiratory occlusion (P01) representative of respiratory drive, automatically delivered by the ventilator

    Measured: At inclusion and after 1 hour

  3. Driving pressure

    Driving pressure

    Measured: At inclusion and after 1 hour

  4. Work of breathing

    Work of breathing as defined as follows:

    WOB = ΔP x ΔV during inspiration

    Measured: At inclusion and after 1 hour

  5. Alveolar strain

    Alveolar strain defined as follows:

    Strain = TV / FRC

    Measured: At inclusion and after 1 hour

  6. Energy transmitted to the patient's lungs by the ventilator

    Energy transmitted to the patient's lungs by the ventilator as defined by Gattinoni et al. (Intensive Care Medicine 2016)

    Measured: At inclusion and after 1 hour
