    Abstract Background: In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), response to positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is variable according to different degrees of lung recruitability. The search for a tool to individualize PEEP based on patients' individual response is warranted. End-expiratory lung volume (EELV) assessment by nitrogen washing-washout aids bedside estimation of PEEP-induced alveolar recruitment and may therefore help titrate PEEP on patient's individual recruitability. We designed a randomized trial to test whether an individualized PEEP setting protocol driven by EELV measurement may improve a composite clinical outcome in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS (IPERPEEP trial).
    Methods: IPERPEEP is an open-label, multicenter, randomized trial that will be conducted in 10 intensive care units in Italy and will enroll 132 ARDS patients showing PaO
    Discussion: The IPERPEEP study is a randomized trial powered to elucidate whether an individualized PEEP setting protocol based on bedside assessment of lung recruitability can improve a composite clinical outcome during moderate-to-severe ARDS.

    Abstract Background: Patient-ventilator asynchronies are challenging during pediatric mechanical ventilation. We hypothesized that monitoring the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) together with the "standard" airway opening pressure (Pao) and flow-time waveforms during pressure support ventilation would improve the ability of a cohort of critical care physicians to detect asynchronies in ventilated children.
    Methods: We recorded the flow, Pao and EAdi waveforms in ten consecutive patients. The recordings were split in periods of 15 s, each reproducing a ventilator screenshot. From this pool, a team of four experts selected the most representative screenshots including at least one of the three most common asynchronies (missed efforts, auto-triggering and double triggering) and split them into two versions, respectively showing or not the EAdi waveforms. The screenshots were shown in random order in a questionnaire to sixty experienced pediatric intensivists that were asked to identify any episode of patient-ventilator asynchrony.
    Results: Among the ten patients included in the study, only eight had EAdi tracings without artifacts and were analyzed. When the Eadi waveform was shown, the auto-triggering detection improved from 13% to 67% (P<0.0001) and the missed efforts detection improved from 43% to 95% (P<0.0001). The detection of double triggering, instead, did not improve (85% with the EAdi vs. 78% without the EAdi waveform; P=0.52).
    Conclusions: This single center study suggests that the EAdi waveform may improve the ability of pediatric intensivists to detect missed efforts and auto-triggering asynchronies. Further studies are required to determine the clinical implications of these findings.

    Abstract Introduction: Pressure support ventilation (PSV) should allow spontaneous breathing with a "normal" neuro-ventilatory drive. Low neuro-ventilatory drive puts the patient at risk of diaphragmatic atrophy while high neuro-ventilatory drive may causes dyspnea and patient self-inflicted lung injury. We continuously assessed for 12 h the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi), a close surrogate of neuro-ventilatory drive, during PSV. Our aim was to document the EAdi trend and the occurrence of periods of "Low" and/or "High" neuro-ventilatory drive during clinical application of PSV.
    Method: In 16 critically ill patients ventilated in the PSV mode for clinical reasons, inspiratory peak EAdi peak (EAdi
    Results: Within all the analyzed breaths (177.117), the neuro-ventilatory drive, as expressed by the EAdi
    Conclusions: We observed wide variations in EAdi amplitude and unevenly distributed "Low" and "High" neuro ventilatory drive periods during 12 h of PSV in critically ill patients. Further studies are needed to assess the possible clinical implications of our physiological findings.

    Abstract Background: Patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) may need mechanical ventilation (MV), which can lead to diaphragmatic dysfunction and muscle wasting, thus making difficult the weaning from the ventilator. Currently, there are no biomarkers specific for respiratory muscle and their function can only be assessed trough ultrasound or other invasive methods. Previously, the fast and slow isoform of the skeletal troponin I (fsTnI and ssTnI, respectively) have shown to be specific markers of muscle damage in healthy volunteers. We aimed therefore at describing the trend of skeletal troponin in mixed population of ICU patients undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation and compared the value of fsTnI and ssTnI with diaphragmatic ultrasound derived parameters.Methods: In this prospective observational study we enrolled consecutive patients recovering from acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) within 24 h from the start of weaning. Every day an arterial blood sample was collected to measure fsTnI, ssTnI, and global markers of muscle damage, such as ALT, AST, and CPK. Moreover, thickening fraction (TF) and diaphragmatic displacement (DE) were assessed by diaphragmatic ultrasound. The trend of fsTnI and ssTnI was evaluated during the first 3 days of weaning.Results: We enrolled 62 consecutive patients in the study, with a mean age of 67 ± 13 years and 43 of them (69%) were male. We did not find significant variations in the ssTnI trend (p = 0.623), but fsTnI significantly decreased over time by 30% from Day 1 to Day 2 and by 20% from Day 2 to Day 3 (p < 0.05). There was a significant interaction effect between baseline ssTnI and DE [F(2) = 4.396, p = 0.015], with high basal levels of ssTnI being associated to a higher decrease in DE. On the contrary, the high basal levels of fsTnI at day 1 were characterized by significant higher DE at each time point.Conclusions: Skeletal muscle proteins have a distinctive pattern of variation during weaning from mechanical ventilation. At day 1, a high basal value ...
