“…Although there has been some concern regarding how VALI not only extends the period of mechanical ventilation use but can also lead to increased mortality,192 this increase arises from elevations in tidal volume and airway pressure during mechanical ventilation, and as such, it is expected that both can be controlled by limiting plateau pressure 193. However, the results of limiting plateau pressure are not all beneficial; lower plateau pressure may also lead to adverse events such as hypercapnia 194. Therefore, the optimum plateau pressure affording benefits without causing VALI is currently uncertain, and validation is necessary.…”

Background and PurposeThe Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2016 (J‐SSCG 2016), a Japanese‐specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in February 2017 in Japanese. An English‐language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese‐language version.MethodsMembers of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine were selected and organized into 19 committee members and 52 working group members. The guidelines were prepared in accordance with the Medical Information Network Distribution Service (Minds) creation procedures. The Academic Guidelines Promotion Team was organized to oversee and provide academic support to the respective activities allocated to each Guideline Creation Team. To improve quality assurance and workflow transparency, a mutual peer review system was established, and discussions within each team were open to the public. Public comments were collected once after the initial formulation of a clinical question (CQ), and twice during the review of the final draft. Recommendations were determined to have been adopted after obtaining support from a two‐thirds (>66.6%) majority vote of each of the 19 committee members.ResultsA total of 87 CQs were selected among 19 clinical areas, including pediatric topics and several other important areas not covered in the first edition of the Japanese guidelines (J‐SSCG 2012). The approval rate obtained through committee voting, in addition to ratings of the strengths of the recommendation and its supporting evidence were also added to each recommendation statement. We conducted meta‐analyses for 29 CQs. Thirty seven CQs contained recommendations in the form of an expert consensus due to insufficient evidence. No recommendations were provided for 5 CQs.ConclusionsBased on the evidence gathered, we were able to formulate Japanese‐specific clinical practice guidelines that are tailored to the Japanese context in a highly transparent manner. These guidelines can easily be used not only by specialists, but also by non‐specialists, general clinicians, nurses, pharmacists, clinical engineers, and other healthcare professionals.

“…Many experts view "permissive hypercapnia" as a necessary evil of a low tidal ventilation strategy (1). Concern about detrimental effects of acidemia on renal and cardiovascular function have motivated attempts to enhance CO 2 removal by tracheal gas insufflation (2) and have led to unsubstantiated recommendations about the use of bicarbonate buffers in hypercapnic patients (3). More recent data suggest that hypercapnia may actually protect the lung from certain manifestations of ischemiareperfusion, endotoxin, and mechanical ventilation-related injury (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of hypercapnic acidosis on lung cell injury and repair by confocal microscopy in a model of ventilator-induced lung injury. Three groups of normocapnic, hypocapnic, and hypercapnic rat lungs were perfused ex vivo, either during or after injurious ventilation, with a solution containing the membrane-impermeant label propidium iodide. In lungs labeled during injurious ventilation, propidium iodide fluorescence identifies all cells with plasma membrane wounds, both permanent and transient, whereas in lungs labeled after injurious ventilation propidium iodide fluorescence identifies only cells with permanent plasma membrane wounds. Hypercapnia minimized the adverse effects of high-volume ventilation on vascular barrier function, whereas hypocapnia had the opposite effect. Despite CO 2 -dependent differences in lung mechanics and edema the number of injured subpleural cells per alveolus was similar in the three groups (0.48 Ϯ 0.34 versus 0.51 Ϯ 0.19 versus 0.43 Ϯ 0.20 for hypocapnia, normocapnia, and hypercapnia, respectively). However, compared with normocapnia the probability of wound repair was significantly reduced in hypercapnic lungs (63 versus 38%; p Ͻ 0.02). This finding was subsequently confirmed in alveolar epithelial cell scratch models. The potential relevance of these observations for lung inflammation and remodeling after mechanical injury is discussed.Keywords: permissive hypercapnia; plasma membrane wounding and repair; ventilator-induced lung injury So-called lung protective mechanical ventilation strategies emphasize lung recruitment and the avoidance of large tidal volumes. Such strategies are often associated with hypercapnic acidosis. Many experts view "permissive hypercapnia" as a necessary evil of a low tidal ventilation strategy (1). Concern about detrimental effects of acidemia on renal and cardiovascular function have motivated attempts to enhance CO 2 removal by tracheal gas insufflation (2) and have led to unsubstantiated recommendations about the use of bicarbonate buffers in hypercapnic patients (3). More recent data suggest that hypercapnia may actually protect the lung from certain manifestations of ischemiareperfusion, endotoxin, and mechanical ventilation-related injury (4-9). Hypocapnia, in contrast, and correction of acidemia may be harmful (10-12). The specific mechanisms through which hypercapnia influences lung injury and vascular barrier function remain uncertain (13). CO 2 generates H ϩ ions, which react with titratable groups in certain amino acids and/or interacts directly (Received in original form September 3, 2003; accepted in final form January 21, 2005) Supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (HL-63178), GlaxoSmithKline, and the Brewer Foundation. with free amine groups in proteins to form carbamate residues (14-16). CO 2 -dependent effects on the generation of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species as well as effects on ion channel conductivity have all been considered (17, 18).V...

“…The pH disturbance itself appears to be tolerated well by most patients. If the systemic pH remains above 7.15, the acidosis that accompanies need not be corrected [5]. Low levels of PEEP, in amounts just adequate to match the patient's intrinsic PEEP, are of value in aiding patientventilatory synchrony during weaning [6].…”
