AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of patient-ventilator asynchrony on lung and diaphragm injury in a porcine model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- Results showed that asynchrony did not significantly increase alveolar septal thickness or worsen other measures of lung or diaphragm injury compared to synchronous breathing.
- This indicates that subject-ventilator asynchrony may not exacerbate lung or diaphragmatic damage in mechanically ventilated pigs with ARDS.
Article Abstract
Background: Patient-ventilator asynchrony during mechanical ventilation may exacerbate lung and diaphragm injury in spontaneously breathing subjects. We investigated whether subject-ventilator asynchrony increases lung or diaphragmatic injury in a porcine model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Methods: ARDS was induced in adult female pigs by lung lavage and injurious ventilation before mechanical ventilation by pressure assist-control for 12 h. Mechanically ventilated pigs were randomised to breathe spontaneously with or without induced subject-ventilator asynchrony or neuromuscular block (n=7 per group). Subject-ventilator asynchrony was produced by ineffective, auto-, or double-triggering of spontaneous breaths. The primary outcome was mean alveolar septal thickness (where thickening of the alveolar wall indicates worse lung injury). Secondary outcomes included distribution of ventilation (electrical impedance tomography), lung morphometric analysis, inflammatory biomarkers (gene expression), lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, and diaphragmatic muscle fibre thickness.
Results: Subject-ventilator asynchrony (median [interquartile range] 28.8% [10.4] asynchronous breaths of total breaths; n=7) did not increase mean alveolar septal thickness compared with synchronous spontaneous breathing (asynchronous breaths 1.0% [1.6] of total breaths; n=7). There was no difference in mean alveolar septal thickness throughout upper and lower lung lobes between pigs randomised to subject-ventilator asynchrony vs synchronous spontaneous breathing (87.3-92.2 μm after subject-ventilator asynchrony, compared with 84.1-95.0 μm in synchronised spontaneous breathing;). There were also no differences between groups in wet-to-dry weight ratio, diaphragmatic muscle fibre thickness, atelectasis, lung aeration, or mRNA expression levels for inflammatory cytokines pivotal in ARDS pathogenesis.
Conclusions: Subject-ventilator asynchrony during spontaneous breathing did not exacerbate lung injury and dysfunction in experimental porcine ARDS.

Background: Subject-ventilator asynchrony (SVA) was shown to be associated with negative clinical outcomes. To elucidate pathophysiology pathways and effects of SVA on lung tissue histology a reproducible animal model of artificially induced asynchrony was developed and evaluated.
Methods: Alterations in ventilator parameters were used to induce the three main types of asynchrony: ineffective efforts (IE), auto-triggering (AT), and double-triggering (DT).

Article Synopsis
- Mechanical ventilation is critical for patients with respiratory issues, aiding in gas exchange, but it can also lead to complications like ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).
- VILI arises from four main injury mechanisms: barotrauma, atelectrauma, and biotrauma, all of which can cause lung and multi-organ damage.
- Strategies to mitigate VILI include maintaining partial lung collapse, preventing the repeated opening and closing of alveoli, and using gentle ventilation techniques to avoid stress on already aerated lung regions.

Background: Variable assisted mechanical ventilation has been shown to improve lung function and reduce lung injury. However, differences between extrinsic and intrinsic variability are unknown.
Objective: To investigate the effects of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA, intrinsic variability), variable pressure support ventilation (Noisy PSV, extrinsic variability) and conventional pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) on lung and diaphragmatic function and damage in experimental acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Background: Early exercise has been recommended in critically ill patients, but its impact on subject-ventilator interaction is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of subject-ventilator asynchrony during passive exercise in mechanically ventilated subjects.
Methods: This study included deeply sedated subjects who were under mechanical ventilation for < 72 h.
