1 ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME Cynthia H. Tinsley, MD PICU Attending Loma Linda University Children s Hospital

2 OBJECTIVES Will discuss the following: 1. Definition of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome 2. Clinical Criteria 3. Epidemiology and Incidence 4. Mortality 5. Mechanical ventilation and protective lung strategies 6. Management strategies

3 Case Presentation A 8 year old male was diagnosed with Leukemia. He competed a full course of treatment and went into remission. After completion of leukemia therapy he returned to the hospital with a fever, hypoxia and was noted on x-ray to have infiltrates. He was diagnosed with viral pneumonia and admitted to the wards He was treated with antibiotics. Oxygen by nasal cannula. He developed progressive hypoxia and advanced from nasal cannula oxygen, to HFNC. He was transferred to the PICU for Bi-Pap and rapidly progressed to intubation and ventilation for hypoxic respiratory failure.

4 Patient initial X-ray

5 Introduction Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common clinical situation seen in the PICU. As many as 67% of PICU admissions will be admitted with a diagnosis of respiratory failure * These cases represent multiple pathologic processes with a common end point. ARF is categorized as: Hypoxemic Hypercapnic Mixed *Arikan Pediatric Critical Care Clinic 2012: 13(3) :253

6 Etiologies of ARF Location Upper airway obstruction Lower airway obstruction Restrictive Lung disease Central nervous system disorders Peripheral nervous system disorders Examples Infection-croup, epiglottis, bacterial tracheitis Laryngotracheomalacia, foreign body, Anaphylaxis Asthma, Bronchiolitis Cystic fibrosis Acute respiratory distress Syndrome (ARDS) Pleural effusion, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, Abdominal compartment syndrome Intracranial injury, (hemorrhage, ischemia) Medications (sedatives) Metabolic encephalopathy Guillian Barre, Muscular dystrophy, scoliosis, spinal cord injury, botulism, intoxications

7 Difference between Children and Adults Children have a higher incidence of ARF compared to adults Infants have more complaint chest walls than adults Makes it harder to develop negative intrathoracic pressure needed to develop adequate tidal volumes especially when the patient has decreased lung compliance (ARDS, pneumonia ) The Chest wall has less elastic recoil. The pores of Kohn or Lambert are less developed These lead to more susceptible alveolar collapse

8 Case Update The patient was initially placed on conventional ventilator He continued to have hypoxia for which he was eventually placed on HFOV His chest x-ray showed worsening infiltrates consistent with a diagnosis of Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (PARDS)

9 Pediatrics Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (PARDS) Severe form of Acute Respiratory failure The incidence is low in all the admission to the PICU Accounts for 2.2 to 2.6 % of PICU admissions The mortality ranges between 18 to 32.8 % Most patients die from multiple organ failure

10 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome First described in 1967 in 12 adults patients Described as a clinical pattern including Severe dyspnea Tachypnea Cyanosis refractory to oxygen Loss of lung compliance Diffuse alveolar infiltrates The mortality rate was 58% ( 7died)

11

12 Etiology of ARDS

13 Pathophysiology ARDS follows cascade of events after direct pulmonary or systemic insult Result in disruption of alveolar capillary unit. 3 distinct components 1. nature of the stimulus 2. host response to the stimulus 3. the role of iatrogenic factors barotrauma, oxygen toxicity

14 Pathology of ARDS-immune complex induces lung injury Local or systemic trigger immune response Macrophages release cytokines Like TNFα, IL 1, IL8 Damage to alveolar epithelial from Oxygen free radials, H202,NO Edema protein reach fluid leaks in causing Hyaline formation Diffuse of oxygen is effected

15 ARDS Represents a small percentage of total PICU admission but represents one of the most challenging patient populations to manage. In the past there was little pediatric-specific definitive data to guide clinical management of these patients. Often we have relied on adult studies to guide pediatric practice. There was a lack of definition for pediatric ARDS 2012 Berlin definition was developed in Europe 2015 PALICC published pediatric-specific definition and management recommendation

16 2012 Berlin definition for ARDS from recommendations from a 2011 Consensus panel of experts Acute diffuse inflammatory lung injury ( onset less than 1 week) Bilateral opacities with pulmonary edema Due to increased pulmonary vascular permeability Increased lung weight and loss of aerated lung tissue PF ratio < 300 mmhg with a minimum of 5 cm PEEP ARDS Severity Pa02/Fi02 (P/F) mild % moderate % Severe <100 45% Mortality

17 Definition of ARDS by the 2014 Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference (PALICC) Age timing Origin of edema Chest x-ray Exclude patients with perinatal related lung disease Within 7days of known clinical insult Respiratory failure not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload Chest imaging findings of new infiltrates consistent with acute pulmonary parenchymal disease Oxygenation None invasive ventilation PARDS (no severity stratification ) Full face- mask bi-level ventilation Or CPAP 5 cm PF ration 300 SF ration 264 Invasive mechanical ventilation mild moderate Severe 4 OI<8 5 OSI 7.5 OI= oxygenation index OSI=oxygenation saturation index, PF= Pa02/Fi02, SF=Sp02/Fi02 8 OI< OSI<12.3 OI 16 OSI 12.3

18 Oxygenation calculation Patient has Fi02 of 60%, Sp02 98 %, Pa02 is 85 Mean Airway pressure of 20. Oxygenation index: Fi02 X mean airway pressure X 100/ Pa X 20 x100/85= Oxygenation Saturation Index 0.6 X 20 X 100/98= P/F ratio=85/0.6=

19 Treatment of ARDS Conventional Mechanical Ventilation Inverse ratio ventilation and High Frequency Ventilation Lung Protective Strategies Permissive Hypercapnia Prone Positioning Fluid Management Corticosteroids Inhaled Nitric Oxide

20 HFOV - General Principles A CPAP system with piston displacement of gas Active exhalation Tidal volume less than anatomic dead space (1 to 3 ml/kg) Rates of breaths per minute Lower peak inspiratory pressures for a given mean airway pressure as compared to CMV Decoupling of oxygenation & ventilation

21 Indications for HFOV Inadequate oxygenation that cannot safely be treated without potentially toxic ventilator settings and, thus, increased risk of VALI (Ventilator Associated Lung Injury) Objectively defined by: Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) > cm H 2 O F i O 2 > 0.60 or the inability to wean Mean airway pressure (P aw ) > 15 cm H 2 O Peak end expiratory pressure (PEEP) > 10 cm H 2 O Oxygenation index > OI = (P aw F i O 2 ) P a O 2 100

22 HFOV Do studies support it s use in ARDS? What Have we learned?

23 High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation Studies 2013 OSCAR and OSCILLATE trials of HFOV in adults with ARDS shows concern for using HFOV. The OSCAR trial (OSCillation in ARDS) Performed in England with 398 patients in each group. Reported no difference between HFOV and conventional ventilation The OSCILLATE trial was stopped due to increased mortality in the HFOV treatment group Goal was 1200 patients but was stopped after 548 patient because HFOV group had 14% increased rate of death (45% verses 31%) N Engl J Med 2013;368: and

24 Are these Adult Studies telling us to stop using HFOV? The increased death rate maybe due to the effects of HFOV Patient required more inotropic agents This Probably due to increased thoracic pressure from HFOV That caused hemodynamic compromise The patient on HFOV patients required more sedation and muscle relaxants which may have contributed to the poorer outcome in the HFOV group There is very little data on pediatric patients.

25 Comment on these studies Higher mortality associated with an increase of vasopressor requirement Which may represent very high intra-thoracic pressures and right ventricular afterload. Patient required more fluids May have caused worse barotrauma More capillary leak HFOV patient also required more paralysis and sedation medications

26 What do we know from pediatric HFOV studies? Using the RESTORE study on sedation They reviewed the patients managed on HFOV The HFOV was started within 24 to 48 hours after intubation. Compared them to the patients treated with conventional ventilation and those on late HFOV The study included 181 patients on HFOV and 883 on conventional Results: The patients treated with HFOV early, compared to conventional or late HFOV Were on the ventilator longer but mortality was not increased.

27 Virtual PICU Data ( ) A case Review of 9177 from 98 hospital 902 received HFOV, and 8275 conventional ventilation HFOV was divided into early and late HFOV initiation The patients were matched for severity of illness and type of illness Evaluated for length of stay, length of mechanical ventilation, mortality THE HFOV whether it was early or late onset did worse in all categories JAMA Pediatrics, March 2014, Vol 168

28 Graph of results

29 HFOV summary We can speculate that HFOV has a role in management of pediatric PARDS Especially during the peak lung injury phase It should follow with aggressive weaning as lung recovery occurs Early transition back to conventional ventilation has been the traditional management style

30 HFOV important questions remain Are the poor outcomes due to HFOV or the how it is used? Low tidal volumes ventilation ( 4 to 6 ml/kg) that is now used during conventional ventilation maybe better than HFOV Clinicians are more aggressive in weaning conventional ventilators as compared to HFOV because of concerns for de-recruitment Endotracheal suctioning is performed less on HFOV Patient on HFOV are more likely receive more sedation and neuroblockade medications.

31 Case Update He developed progressively worsening oxygenation requiring increasing efforts to improve oxygenation Fi02 reached 100% The mean airway pressure on the HFOV was increased Amp 48, Mean airway pressure was 35 He was placed on Nitric oxide He was paralyzed withvecuronium Multiple Ventilator Modes were attempted 1. Airway pressure release ventilation 2 Pressure support alone

32 Chest X-ray

33 Complication of ARDS Our patient developed all the complications of ARDS High levels of mean airway pressure which caused Barotrauma Multiple pneumothoracies requiring multiple chest tubes Pulmonary hypertension treated with Nitric oxide and IV sildenafil Other complications included: Nosocomial infections VAP (reported to be 50% or greater) more than other respiratory diseases requiring ventilation Line sepsis UTI Sinusitis with NG feedings Development of drug resistant infections

34 Complication continued Functional impairment that continued after discharge Muscle weakness and muscle wasting Corticosteroid treatment and use of neuromuscular blockade agents increase this risk Difficulty weaning from the ventilator Eventually required a tracheostomy and chronic ventilator management Renal failure Contributing factors include: sepsis, hypotension, nephrotoxic drugs Ileus, stress gastritis, anemia Feeding intolerance

35 Ventilator Associated Lung Injury (VALI) All forms of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) can cause ventilator associated lung injury (VALI). VALI is the result of a combination of the following processes: Barotrauma Volutrauma Atelectrauma

36 Capillary Leak Electron microscopy demonstrates the disruption of the alveolar-capillary membrane secondary to mechanical ventilation with lung distention. Note the leakage of RBCs and other material into the alveolar space. Fu Z, JAP, 1992; 73:123

37 Volutrauma Lung overdistension can cause diffuse alveolar damage at the pulmonary capillary membrane. This may result in increased epithelial and microvascular permeability, thus, allowing fluid filtration into the alveoli (pulmonary edema). Excessive end-inspiratory alveolar volumes are the major determinant of volutrauma.

38 Atelectrauma Mechanical ventilation at low end-expiratory volumes may be inefficient to maintain the alveoli open. Repetitive alveolar collapse and reopening of the under-recruited alveoli result in atelectrauma. The quantitative and qualitative loss of surfactant may predispose to atelectrauma.

39 Clinical Goals Reasonable oxygenation to limit oxygen toxicity S a O 2 86 to 92% P a O 2 55 to 90 mm Hg Permissive hypercapnea Provide just enough ventilatory support to maintain normal cellular function. Monitor cardiac function, perfusion, lactate, ph Allow P a CO 2 to rise but keep arterial ph 7.25 to (Derdak, CCM, 2003) This strategy helps to minimize VALI. (Hickling, CCM, 1998) Normal ph, P a CO 2, & P a O 2 are indictors of OVER ventilation!!

40 Lung Protective Strategies Utilizing HFOV in an open lung strategy provides a more effective means to recruit and protect acutely injured lungs. The ability to recruit and maintain FRC with higher mean airway pressures may: improve lung compliance decrease pulmonary vascular resistance improve gas exchange With attenuation of P, there is less trauma to the lungs and, therefore, less risk of VALI. HFOV improves outcome by shear forces associated with the cyclic opening of collapsed alveoli. Arnold, PCCM, 2000

41 Nitric Oxide In spite of the theoretic potential, several randomized clinical trials in adults with ARDS They have failed to show improvement The studies did show improved oxygenation for 4 days But no improvement in: Mortality Duration of ventilation Ventilator free days 2014 adults studies with few or no children Included 9 RCT and 1142 patients. Adhikari, Crit Care Medicine (2014) 42;

42 Nitric Oxide In the lung, nitric oxide is produced by a variety of cells Epithelial cells Adventitial nerve endings Macrophages when activated Causes vasodilation Prevents platelet adhesion- prevents plaque formation Causes smooth muscle relaxation and prevents vasoconstriction

43 Nitric Oxide (NO) improves V/Q

44 ino what we know in ARDS and PARDS Patients with ARDS are exposed to hypoxia Endothelial damage results in decreased NO production Causes vasoconstriction Leads to pulmonary hypertension Right ventricular hypertrophy In spite of the theoretic potential benefit of ino In pediatric and adults studies it has not been shown to improve survival It does show a short term improved oxygenation Bronicki, RA et al, J Pediatrics (2015) 166 (2):365-9

45 Theory Why in0 may not lead to improvement 1. in0 converts to peoxynitrite (N000)a toxic moiety to cellular respiration. 2. Additional adverse and potential toxic effects of ino Methemoglobinemia Increased nitrogen dioxide Platelet inhibition Increased left ventricular filling pressure Rebound hypoxemia and pulmonary hypertension upon discontinuation These side effects are seen seen with high concentrations and prolonged usage and with high oxygen Adhikari, NK Effect of nitric oxide on oxygenation and mortality :BMJ 2007; 334( 7597) : 77

46 Sedation Sedation is necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of mechanically ventilated infants and children However the adverse effects of sedation medications include: Limiting spontaneous ventilation Prolonging the course of mechanical ventilation Inducing critical illness neuromyopathy Increasing the risk for delirium Causing the development of iatrogenic withdrawal symptoms

47 RESTORE STUDY SEDATION MANAGEMENT FOR PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH ARF Multi-center randomized clinical trial that studied the effect a nurse-implements, goal-directed sedation management protocol Included infants, children, and adolescents with acute respiratory failure 2449 subjects were enrolled Protocolized sedation did not reduce the length of mechanical ventilation Did find that fewer days of opioid administration Fewer categories of sedatives were given Fewer required Methadone at discharge. Curley, MA JAMA 2015; 313(4):

48 WHAT WE LEARNED FROM RESTORE The safety of bedside-driven sedation protocols work. Where nursing can make at the bedside decisions in real time Also showed that mechanically ventilated pediatric subjects can safely be maintained in a more awake state Withdrawals may be less. The treatment group had a lower need for methadone. The RESTORE study did not include Dexmedtomidine (Percedex) We need a similar large scale study using Percedex

49 Permissive Hypercapnia With smaller tidal volume to prevent lung injury leads to decreased minute ventilation and increased C02. and lower ph. Elevated C02 can: Worsen pulmonary hypertension Increase intracranial pressure Cardiovascular dysfunction Several studies show a protective role in ARDS Bench to bedside review: permissive hypercapnia Crit Care. 2005:9(1):51-9

50 2015 Update in Pediatric ARDS (PARDS) Because the Pediatric ARDS is distinct from adult ARDS A panel of 27 experts met from 2012 to 2014 They made 132 recommendations The Berlin definitions were used They added noninvasive ventilation without division based on severity of illness.

51 Summary of Recommendations 1. Ventilator Support No outcome data to support mode of conventional ventilation 2. Tidal volume Tidal volume of 3 to 6 ml/kg in patients with poor pulmonary compliance Inspiratory plateau pressure less than 30 cm 3. PEEP Elevated PEEP of cm Titrate to oxygenation and hemodynamic stability

52 Recommendation continued High frequency ventilation In patient s with a plateau pressure greater than 28 cm Oxygen Saturations With a PEEP of least 10 accept SpO % Monitor Central SvO2 when saturations less than 92% Hypercapnia ph 715 to 7.30 Bicarbonate supplementation is not routinely recommended

53 Recommendation Inhaled Nitric Oxide Not routinely recommended Only in proven pulmonary hypertension Exogenous surfactant-not recommended Prone Positioning-not recommended Suctioning- Isotonic saline for suctioning is not recommended routinely only use if thick secretions Caution to prevent de-recruitment

54 Recommendations Chest PT not recommended as standard of care Corticosteroids not recommended Sedation Patients should receive minimal yet effective targeted sedation Use sedation scales Develop an individualized sedation weaning plan Neuromuscular blockade Use if sedation is not enough Monitor train of four Transfusion for Hg < 7
