Comment Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Intratracheal Budesonide Mixed With Surfactant for Extremely Preterm Infants: The PLUSS Randomized Clinical Trial.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common adverse outcome in extremely preterm infants born at less than 28 weeks' gestation. Systemic corticosteroids are effective against BPD but may be associated with adverse outcomes. Corticosteroids given directly into the lungs may be effective and safer. ⋯ In extremely preterm infants receiving surfactant for respiratory distress syndrome, early intratracheal budesonide may have little to no effect on survival free of BPD.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe impact of a lung-protective ventilation mode using transpulmonary driving pressure titrated positive end-expiratory pressure on the prognosis of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
This study aimed to assess the impact of a lung-protective ventilation strategy utilizing transpulmonary driving pressure titrated positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the prognosis [mechanical ventilation duration, hospital stay, 28-day mortality rate and incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), survival outcome] of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). ⋯ Lung-protective mechanical ventilation using transpulmonary driving pressure titrated PEEP effectively improves lung function, reduces mechanical ventilation duration and hospital stay, and enhances survival outcomes in patients with ARDS. However, further study is needed to facilitate the wider adoption of this approach.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyPersonalized positive end-expiratory pressure in spontaneously breathing patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome by simultaneous electrical impedance tomography and transpulmonary pressure monitoring: a randomized crossover trial.
Personalized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) might foster lung and diaphragm protection in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are undergoing pressure support ventilation (PSV). We aimed to compare the physiologic effects of personalized PEEP set according to synchronized electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and driving transpulmonary pressure (∆PL) monitoring against a classical lower PEEP/FiO2 table in intubated ARDS patients undergoing PSV. ⋯ Personalized PEEP selected using synchronized EIT and transpulmonary pressure monitoring could be associated with reduced dynamic lung stress and metabolic work of breathing in ARDS patients undergoing PSV.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyLung Protective Mechanical Ventilation in Severe Acute Brain Injured Patients: A Multicenter, Randomized Clinical Trial (PROLABI).
Rationale: Lung-protective strategies using low Vt and moderate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) are considered best practice in critical care, but interventional trials have never been conducted in patients with acute brain injuries because of concerns about carbon dioxide control and the effect of PEEP on cerebral hemodynamics. Objectives: To test the hypothesis that ventilation with lower VT and higher PEEP compared to conventional ventilation would improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute brain injury. Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, controlled clinical trial, 190 adult patients with acute brain injury were assigned to receive either a lung-protective or a conventional ventilatory strategy. ⋯ Conclusions: In patients with acute brain injury without ARDS, a lung-protective ventilatory strategy, as compared with a conventional strategy, did not reduce mortality, percentage of patients weaned from mechanical ventilation, or incidence of ARDS and was not beneficial in terms of neurological outcomes. Because of the early termination, these preliminary results require confirmation in larger trials. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01690819).

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyPressure control plus spontaneous ventilation versus volume assist-control ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome. A randomised clinical trial.
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a pressure-controlled strategy allowing non-synchronised unassisted spontaneous ventilation (PC-SV) to a conventional volume assist-control strategy (ACV) on the outcome of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ⋯ A strategy based on PC-SV mode that favours spontaneous ventilation reduced the need for sedation and adjunctive therapies of hypoxemia but did not significantly reduce mortality compared to ACV with similar tidal volume and PEEP levels.
