Objective:
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.
Methods:
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.
Results:
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.
Conclusion:
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.

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.

METHODS: A prospective study was conducted with 100 consecutive patients admitted to a respiratory intensive care unit in Fortaleza (CE), Brazil. The risk factors for acute kidney injury and mortality were investigated in a group of patients with lung diseases. RESULTS: The mean age of the study population was 57 years, and 50% were male. The incidence of acute kidney injury was higher in patients with PaO2/FiO2<200 mmHg (54% versus 23.7%; p=0.02). Death was observed in 40 cases and the rate of mortality of the acute kidney injury group was higher (62.8% versus 27.6%; p=0.01). The independent factor that was found to be associated with acute kidney injury was PaO2/FiO2<200 mmHg (p=0.01), and the independent risk factors for death were PEEP at admission (OR: 3.6; 95%CI: 1.3-9.6; p=0.009) and need for hemodialysis (OR: 7.9; 95%CI: 2.2-28.3; p=0.001). CONCLUSION: There was a higher mortality rate in the acute kidney injury group. Increased mortality was associated with mechanical ventilation, high PEEP, urea and need for dialysis. Further studies must be performed to better establish the relationship between kidney and lung injury and its impact on patient outcome.
