AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a new computer-controlled method for measuring intrinsic PEEP in mechanically ventilated patients, comparing it to the standard end-expiratory occlusion technique.
- The research, conducted in a university hospital ICU, involved 16 sedated and paralyzed patients with varying degrees of acute respiratory failure.
- Results showed that the intrinsic PEEP values obtained from both methods were nearly identical and highly correlated, indicating no significant differences and suggesting stable lung conditions during the measured cycles.
Article Abstract
Objective: Evaluation of new computer-controlled occlusion procedure for determination of intrinsic PEEP in mechanically ventilated patients and comparison with the standard end-expiratory occlusion method.
Design: Prospective controlled study.
Setting: Intensive care unit of a university hospital.
Patients: 16 patients with acute respiratory failure of different degree and etiology. All patients were mechanically ventilated, heavily sedated and muscle paralyzed (non-depolarising relaxants). The type of ventilator, the inspiration/expiration ratio, FIO2 and PEEP were selected by the attending clinicians according to the patients' need and independently from the study.
Interventions: Static compliance of the respiratory system (Cstat) was determined at varying external end-expiratory pressure settings: ZEEP (= ambient pressure), PEEP of 5 cmH2O and 10 cmH2O. All other ventilator settings were kept constant during the entire procedure.
Measurements And Results: A computer-controlled occlusion method (SCASS) was used for determination of Cstat. Intrinsic PEEP was determined by SCASS as the extrapolated zero-volume intercept of the regression line of multiple pressure/volume data pairs (PEEPSCASSinspir and PEEPSCASSexpir). Directly thereafter intrinsic PEEP in this particular ventilatory setting was determined by end-expiratory occlusions (PEPPEEO). The intrinsic PEEP values of the different methods were nearly identical with a significant correlation (p < 0.0001). Mean values +/- SD: PEEPSCASSinspir 7.1 +/- 4.3 cmH2O; PEEPSCASSexpir 7.1 +/- 4.5 cmH2O; PEEPEEO 7.1 +/- 4.2 cmH2O.
Conclusion: Since no significant difference between PEEPi values measured by the inspiratory and expiratory occlusion method (SCASS) was seen, this indicates that no alveolar recruitment occurred during the respiratory cycle. This study demonstrates that the automated occlusion method for measuring Cstat system can also be used with high accuracy for determination of intrinsic PEEP in mechanically ventilated patients.

Objectives: To investigate the levels of intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi) in infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD) and the relationship between different levels of PEEPi and clinical outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 12 sBPD infants who underwent PEEPi measurement and were hospitalized at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2022 to June 2023. The clinical manifestations and outcomes at discharge were compared between infants with very high PEEPi (≥10 cmHO) and those with lower PEEPi (<10 cmHO).
Activation of Automatic Tube Compensation Mode Attenuates Auto-PEEP in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients.

Article Synopsis
- Dynamic hyperinflation in COPD leads to auto-PEEP, which increases the effort needed for breathing; Automatic tube compensation (ATC) aims to alleviate this.
- In a study with 60 patients, results showed that activating ATC led to a significant decrease in auto-PEEP across all times of day, with greater reductions observed in stable COPD patients compared to those experiencing exacerbations.
- Overall, while ATC activation benefits chronic COPD patients by reducing auto-PEEP, those with exacerbations showed less improvement.

Article Synopsis
- * Early extubation failures (within 12 hours) were mainly due to airway obstruction or apnea, while later failures (12 to 72 hours) were linked to lung disease or heart issues.
- * Factors influencing extubation failure included genetic anomalies, increased weight at extubation, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) settings, suggesting these areas could be targeted for future research to improve outcomes.

Introduction: COPD and interstitial lung disease (ILD) are significant chronic respiratory disorders, impacting quality of life. Respiratory muscle roles and differences remain not entirely clear. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the degree of recruitment of the respiratory muscles and the work of breathing in COPD and ILD during exercise.
