Rationale: Tidal volume and plateau pressure limitation decreases mortality in ARDS. Computed tomography demonstrated a small normally aerated compartment on the top of poorly aerated, and non-aerated compartments that may be hyperinflated by tidal inflation.
Objectives: We hypothesized that despite tidal volume and plateau pressure limitation, patients with larger non-aerated compartment are exposed to tidal hyperinflation of the normally aerated compartment.
Measurements and Main Results: Pulmonary computed tomography at end-expiration and end-inspiration was obtained in 30 patients ventilated with a low tidal volume (6 ml/kg predicted body weight). Cluster analysis identified 20 patients where tidal inflation largely occurred in the normally aerated compartment (69.9 ±6.9 %; "more protected"), and 10 patients where tidal inflation largely occurred within the hyperinflated compartments (63.0 ± 12.7 %; "less protected" ). The non-aerated compartment was smaller and the normally aerated compartment larger in the "more protected" than in "less protected" (P = 0.01). Pulmonary cytokines were lower in the "more protected" than in the "less protected" (P < 0.05). Ventilator free days were 7 ± 8 and 1 ± 2 in the "more protected" and "less protected", respectively (P = 0.01). Plateau pressure in "more protected" ranged between 25 and 26 cm H2O and in "less protected" between 28 and 30 cm H2O (P = 0.006).
Conclusions: Limiting tidal volume to 6 ml/kg PBW and plateau pressure to 30 cm H2O may not be sufficient in patients characterized by a larger non-aerated compartment.
