Background

  • Controversial in terms of safety and efficacy
    • No mortality/morbidity outcome benefits
    • May be of more benefit to extra-pulmonary ARDS than to pulmonary ARDS
  • Multiple methods reported
    • Below is only one method
    • Refer to your RT for hospital protocol
  • Severe ARDS in which PaO2 recalcitrant to maximal ventilator settings, APRV, PCV
  • Biotrauma and cytokine release occur due to:
    • Dependent areas of airway are collapsed throughout TVs
    • Cyclic collapse causes shear injury atelectrauma with each breath
    • Least dependent areas inflated throughout TVs are also easily hyperinflated causing volutrauma and barotrauma, especially in:
      • TVs > 6 cc/kg
      • Pplat > 30-35 cmH2O
  • Derecruitment of alveoli occurs due to[1]:
    • Standard low TV ventilation in ARDS
    • Insufficient PEEP
    • High FiO2 absorptive atelectasis
  • Goals to recruit alveoli and maintain with PEEP to prevent cyclic collapse

Risks

  • May only be temporary benefit
  • Hemodynamic instability with drop off in preload
  • CO2 retention
  • May worsen oxygenation by shunting blood to poorly aerated lung (opposing physiological hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction)
  • May worsen ventilator-induced lung injury with volutrauma/barotrauma
  • Pneumothorax

Procedure[2]

Preparation

  • May require increased sedation or paralysis
  • Optimize preload (maneuver decreases preload)
  • Pressure control ventilation using current rate, PEEP, FiO2
  • Adjust I:E to 1:1
  • Record baseline VSs and vent settings
  • 14 ga needles x2 in case of pneumothorax
