Perspectives on invasive and noninvasive ventilatory support for critically ill patients are evolving, as much evidence indicates that ventilation may have positive effects on patient survival and the quality of the care provided in intensive care units in Brazil. For those reasons, the Brazilian Association of Intensive Care Medicine (Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira - AMIB) and the Brazilian Thoracic Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia - SBPT), represented by the Mechanical Ventilation Committee and the Commission of Intensive Therapy, respectively, decided to review the literature and draft recommendations for mechanical ventilation with the goal of creating a document for bedside guidance as to the best practices on mechanical ventilation available to their members. The document was based on the available evidence regarding 29 subtopics selected as the most relevant for the subject of interest. The project was developed in several stages, during which the selected topics were distributed among experts recommended by both societies with recent publications on the subject of interest and/or significant teaching and research activity in the field of mechanical ventilation in Brazil. The experts were divided into pairs that were charged with performing a thorough review of the international literature on each topic. All the experts met at the Forum on Mechanical Ventilation, which was held at the headquarters of AMIB in São Paulo on August 3 and 4, 2013, to collaboratively draft the final text corresponding to each sub-topic, which was presented to, appraised, discussed and approved in a plenary session that included all 58 participants and aimed to create the final document.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The II Brazilian Consensus Conference on Mechanical Ventilation was published in 2000. Knowledge on the field of mechanical ventilation evolved rapidly since then, with the publication of numerous clinical studies with potential impact on the ventilatory management of critically ill patients. Moreover, the evolving concept of evidence - based medicine determined the grading of clinical recommendations according to the methodological value of the studies on which they are based. This explicit approach has broadened the understanding and adoption of clinical recommendations. For these reasons, AMIB - Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira and SBPT - Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia - decided to update the recommendations of the II Brazilian Consensus. Mechanical ventilation in the asthma attack has been one of the updated topics. Describe the most important topics on the mechanical ventilation during the asthma attack and suggest the main therapeutic approaches. METHODS: Systematic review of the published literature and gradation of the studies in levels of evidence, using the key words "mechanical ventilation" and "asthma". RESULTS: We present recommendations on the ventilatory modes and settings to be adopted when ventilating a patient during an asthma attack, as well as the recommended monitoring. Alternative ventilation techniques are also presented. CONCLUSIONS: Protective ventilatory strategies are recommended when ventilating a patient during a severe asthma attack.

To evaluate the influences of respiratory muscle efforts and respiratory rate setting in the ventilator on tidal volume and alveolar distending pressures at end inspiration and expiration in volume-controlled ventilation and pressure-controlled ventilation modes in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
An active test lung (ASL 5000™) connected to five intensive care unit ventilators was used in a model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Respiratory muscle efforts (muscle pressure) were configured in three different ways: no effort (muscle pressure: 0cmH2O); inspiratory efforts only (muscle pressure:-5cmH2O, neural inspiratory time of 0.6s); and both inspiratory and expiratory muscle efforts (muscle pressure:-5/+5cmH2O). Volume-controlled and pressure-controlled ventilation modes were set to deliver a target tidal volume of 420mL and positive end-expiratory pressure of 10cmH2O. The tidal volume delivered to the lungs, alveolar pressures at the end of inspiration, and alveolar pressures at end expiration were evaluated.
When triggered by the simulated patient, the median tidal volume was 27mL lower than the set tidal volume (range-63 to +79mL), and there was variation in alveolar pressures with a median of 25.4cmH2O (range 20.5 to 30cmH2O). In the simulated scenarios with both spontaneous inspiratory and expiratory muscle efforts and with a mandatory respiratory rate lower than the simulated patient's efforts, the median tidal volume was higher than controlled breathing.
Adjusting respiratory muscle effort and pulmonary ventilator respiratory rate to a value above the patient’s respiratory rate in assisted/controlled modes generated large variations in tidal volume and pulmonary pressures, while the controlled mode showed no variations in these outcomes.
