Introduction: Lung-protective ventilation aims at using low tidal volumes (VT) at optimum positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP). Optimum PEEP should recruit atelectatic lung regions and avoid tidal recruitment and end-inspiratory overinflation. We examined the effect of VT and PEEP on ventilation distribution, regional respiratory system compliance (C(RS)), and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) in an animal model of acute lung injury (ALI) and patients with ARDS by using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) with the aim to assess tidal recruitment and overinflation.
Methods: EIT examinations were performed in 10 anaesthetized pigs with normal lungs ventilated at 5 and 10 ml/kg body weight VT and 5 cmH2O PEEP. After ALI induction, 10 ml/kg VT and 10 cmH2O PEEP were applied. Afterwards, PEEP was set according to the pressure-volume curve. Animals were randomized to either low or high VT ventilation changed after 30 minutes in a crossover design. Ventilation distribution, regional C(RS) and changes in EELV were analyzed. The same measures were determined in five ARDS patients examined during low and high VT ventilation (6 and 10 (8) ml/kg) at three PEEP levels.
Results: In healthy animals, high compared to low VT increased C(RS) and ventilation in dependent lung regions implying tidal recruitment. ALI reduced C(RS) and EELV in all regions without changing ventilation distribution. Pressure-volume curve-derived PEEP of 21±4 cmH2O (mean±SD) resulted in comparable increase in C(RS) in dependent and decrease in non-dependent regions at both VT. This implied that tidal recruitment was avoided but end-inspiratory overinflation was present irrespective of VT. In patients, regional C(RS) differences between low and high VT revealed high degree of tidal recruitment and low overinflation at 3±1 cmH2O PEEP. Tidal recruitment decreased at 10±1 cmH2O and was further reduced at 15±2 cmH(2)O PEEP.
Conclusions: Tidal recruitment and end-inspiratory overinflation can be assessed by EIT-based analysis of regional C(RS).

Successful management of immunotherapy-resistant respiratory failure in anti-mitochondrial M2 antibody-positive myositis by modified lung volume recruitment therapy: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Department of Neurology, Showa University Fujigaoka Hospital, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
Rationale: Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) M2-positive myositis can lead to severe respiratory failure. Traditional immunotherapies sometimes fail to address respiratory failure. Herein, this CARE-compliant case report described a patient with AMA-M2-positive myositis who recovered from ventilation with tracheostomy owing to immunotherapy-resistant respiratory failure to spontaneous breathing after modified lung volume recruitment (mLVR) therapy.

Background: The 6-min walk test (6MWT) has established itself as a classical field-test for assessing exercise capacity across diverse populations, including older adults. Despite its widespread use, the specific contribution of cardiopulmonary factors to the 6-min walk distance (6MWD) remains relatively unexplored.
Objective: The primary objective of this investigation was to examine any potential associations between 6MWD and various cardiopulmonary parameters in older adults.
Optimizing perioperative lung protection strategies for reducing postoperative respiratory complications in pediatric patients: a narrative review.

Background And Objective: Despite significant advancements in the safe delivery of anesthesia and improvements in surgical techniques, postoperative respiratory complications (PRCs) remain a serious concern. PRCs can lead to increased length of hospital stay, worsened patient outcomes, and higher hospital and postoperative costs. Perioperative lung injury and PRCs are more common in children than in adults owing to children's unique physiology and anatomical characteristics.

Background: Inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO, also called vocal cord dysfunction) can be difficult to distinguish clinically from asthma. Limited studies have explored the use of respiratory oscillometry to detect changes unique to ILO, but more study is needed to determine if routine oscillometry can differentiate these two clinical entities.
Objective: Determine if impedance variables measured on routine oscillometry over tidal breathing vary between individuals with asthma and ILO.

Mechanical ventilation is a necessary lifesaving intervention for patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) but it can cause ventilator induced lung injury (VILI), which contributes to the high ARDS mortality rate (≈40%). Bedside determination of optimally lung-protective ventilation settings is challenging because the evolution of VILI is not immediately reflected in clinically available, patient-level, data. The goal of this work was therefore to test ventilation waveform-derived parameters that represent the degree of ongoing VILI and can serve as targets for ventilator adjustments.
