What has been learnt fromP/Vcurves in patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome

Abstract: What has been learnt from P/V curves in patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. S.M. Maggiore, J-C. Richard, L. Brochard. #ERS Journals Ltd 2003. ABSTRACT: Mechanical impairment of the respiratory system was recognised soon after the description of acute respiratory distress syndrome. The analysis of the pressure/volume (P/V) curve of the respiratory system contributed a lot to the understanding of the pathophysiology of acute lung injury and formed the basis for lung protection.

“…A superior correlation was found between alveolar de-recruitment and the deflation limb of the P-V curve [5,6]. This finding may be explained by ventilation heterogeneity that has been observed in both healthy and injured lungs [7,8].…”

“…43 Two studies caution clinicians against using inbuilt ventilator P-V software as they had significant deleterious results in their research. [44][45][46][47] P-V loops may provide clinicians with data regarding lung aeration yet do not distinguish between hyperinflation and recruitment and provide no information in regard to distribution of ventilation. 46 Due to the heterogeneity of the techniques used to conduct lung recruitment it is not possible to pool the data for further analysis.…”

“…The patency of the peripheral airways can be assessed qualitatively by analysing the lower inflection point of the static pressure-volume (P-V) curve [1, 5, 11, 15-18, 20, 21]. Although the shape of the P-V curve around the lower inflection point depends on many factors, such as chest wall tissue nonlinearities [16], surfactant redistribution [17,22], collapse and reopening of the alveoli and bronchi [15,21], and dynamic hyperinflation [18], it is the analysis of the P-V relationships of the respiratory system that has afforded the most comprehensive data on pulmonary recruitment [1,15,17,20,21]. Quantitative analysis of the small airway function can also be accomplished by using lungimaging techniques, such as thoracic computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging [23], although performance of these investigations in a continuous bedside setting is not yet feasible.…”
