The clinical relevance of experimental ventilator-induced lung injury has recently received a resounding illustration by the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network trial that showed a 22% reduction of mortality in patients with acute respiratory disease syndrome when lung mechanical stress was lessened by tidal volume reduction during mechanical ventilation. This clinical confirmation of the concept of ventilator-induced lung injury has also undisputedly substantiated the experimental observation that excessive tidal volume and/or end-inspiratory lung volume is the main determinant of ventilator-induced lung injury. More recently, attention has focused on the roles and implication in the pathogenesis of ventilator-induced lung injury of inflammatory cells and mediators that may be activated and released either in the alveolar space or in the systemic circulation because of the rupture of the alveolar-capillary barrier and on the cellular response to mechanical stress.

Characterizing SV40-hTERT Immortalized Human Lung Microvascular Endothelial Cells as Model System for Mechanical Stretch-Induced Lung Injury.

Drug development for human disease relies on preclinical model systems such as human cell cultures and animal experiments before therapeutic treatments can ultimately be tested on humans in clinical studies. We here describe the generation of a novel human cell line (HLMVEC/SVTERT289) that we generated by transfection of microvascular endothelial cells from healthy donor lung tissue with the catalytic domain of telomerase and the SV40 large T/small t-antigen. These cells exhibited satisfactory growth characteristics and largely maintained their native characteristics, including morphology, cell surface marker expression, angiogenic potential and the protein composition of secreted extracellular vesicles.

Protective ventilation reduces ventilator-induced acute lung injury postoperatively; however, the optimal strategy for one-lung ventilation (OLV) remains unclear. This study compared three protective ventilation strategies with a postoperative partial pressure of oxygen (PaO)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) ratio to reduce the incidence of immediate postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing lung resection surgery. Eighty-seven patients with ASA physical status I-III requiring OLV for lung resection surgery were randomized into three groups according to the applied ventilation strategies: low tidal volume (V) of 4 mL/kg of predicted body weight (PBW) (LV group), medium V of 6 mL/kg of PBW (MV group), and high V of 8 mL/kg of PBW (HV group).

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration is crucial for improving oxygenation and preventing ventilator-induced lung injury in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) offers real-time, bedside monitoring of lung ventilation distribution, potentially guiding individualized PEEP settings.

By virtue of applying small tidal volumes, high-frequency ventilation is advocated as a method of minimizing ventilator-induced lung injury. Lung protective benefits are established in infants, but not in other patient cohorts. Efforts to improve and extend the lung protection potential should consider how fundamental modes of gas transport can be exploited to minimize harmful tidal volumes while maintaining or improving ventilation.

Background: Ultra-protective ventilation is the combination of low airway pressures and tidal volume (Vt) combined with extra corporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCOR). A recent large study showed no benefit of ultra-protective ventilation compared to standard ventilation in ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) patients. However, the reduction in Vt failed to achieve the objective of less than or equal to 3 ml/kg predicted body weight (PBW).
