Importance: Postoperative pulmonary complications and cardiovascular complications are major causes of morbidity, mortality, and resource utilization in cardiac surgery patients.
Objectives: To investigate the effects of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) on respiration and hemodynamics in post cardiac surgery patients.
Main Outcomes And Measures: A single-center randomized control trial was performed. In total, 138 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass were prospectively screened. Ultimately 39 patients met the inclusion criteria and were randomized into two groups: 19 patients were managed with pressure control ventilation (PCV) and 20 patients were managed with APRV. Respiratory mechanics after 4 h, hemodynamics within the first day, and Chest radiograph score (CRS) and blood gasses within the first three days were recorded and compared.
Results: A higher cardiac index (3.1 ± 0.7 vs. 2.8 ± 0.8 L⋅min⋅m; < 0.05), and shock volume index (35.4 ± 9.2 vs. 33.1 ± 9.7 ml m; < 0.05) were also observed in the APRV group after 4 h as well as within the first day ( < 0.05). Compared to the PCV group, the PaO2/FiO was significantly higher after 4 h in patients of APRV group (340 ± 97 vs. 301 ± 82, < 0.05) and within the first three days ( < 0.05) in the APRV group. CRS revealed less overall lung injury in the APRV group ( < 0.001). The duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay were not significantly ( = 0.248 and 0.424, respectively).
Conclusions And Relevance: Compared to PCV, APRV may be associated with increased cardiac output improved oxygenation, and decreased lung injury in postoperative cardiac surgery patients.

Background: Mechanical ventilation is a common and often lifesaving intervention that is utilised in intensive care. However, the practices can vary between centres. Through this national survey we aim to gain more information about different strategies adopted across the UK.

Article Synopsis
- APRV (Airway Pressure Release Ventilation) may help protect against lung damage from atelectrauma by limiting the duration of expirations, preventing harmful separation of epithelial surfaces during breathing.
- A study using a porcine model of ARDS tested different levels of inspiratory pressure and expiration timing to analyze the effects on lung mechanics and resistance post-injury.
- Results indicated that shorter expirations reduced lung strain during inspiration, suggesting that optimal timing in APRV can enhance lung function recovery after injury.
Physiologic Comparison of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation and Low Tidal Volume Ventilation in ARDS: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The physiologic effects of different ventilation strategies on patients with ARDS need to be better understood.
Research Question: In patients with ARDS receiving controlled mandatory ventilation, does airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) improve lung ventilation/perfusion (V˙/Q˙) matching and ventilation homogeneity compared with low tidal volume (LTV) ventilation?
Study Design And Methods: This study was a single-center randomized controlled trial. Patients with moderate to severe ARDS were ventilated randomly with APRV or LTV ventilation.

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a protective mechanical ventilation mode for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that theoretically may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and ARDS-related mortality. However, there is no standard method to set and adjust the APRV mode shown to be optimal. Therefore, we performed a meta-regression analysis to evaluate how the four individual APRV settings impacted the outcome in these patients.

Backgroud: Lung volume measurements are important for monitoring functional aeration and recruitment and may help guide adjustments in ventilator settings. The expiratory phase of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) may provide physiologic information about lung volume based on the expiratory flow-time slope, angle, and time to approach a no-flow state (expiratory time [T]). We hypothesized that expiratory flow would correlate with estimated lung volume (ELV) as measured using a modified nitrogen washout/washin technique in a large-animal lung injury model.
