Abstract

Background: High frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) combines diffusive (high frequency mini-bursts) and

convective ventilation patterns. Benefits include enhanced oxygenation and hemodynamics, and alveolar recruitment,

while providing hypothetic lung-protective ventilation. No study has investigated HFPV-induced changes in lung

aeration in patients with early acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Methods: Eight patients with early non-focal ARDS were enrolled and five swine with early non-focal ARDS were

studied in prospective computed tomography (CT) scan and animal studies, in a university-hospital tertiary ICU and an

animal laboratory. Patients were optimized under conventional "open-lung" ventilation. Lung CT was performed using

an end-expiratory hold (Conv) to assess lung morphology. HFPV was applied for 1 hour to all patients before new CT

scans were performed with end-expiratory (HFPV EE) and end-inspiratory (HFPV EI) holds. Lung volumes were

determined after software analysis. At specified time points, blood gases and hemodynamic data were collected.

Recruitment was defined as a change in non-aerated lung volumes between Conv, HFPV EE and HFPV El. The

main objective was to verify whether HFPV increases alveolar recruitment without lung hyperinflation. Correlation

between pleural, upper airways and HFPV-derived pressures was assessed in an ARDS swine-based model.

BioMed Central

Results: One-hour HFPV significantly improved oxygenation and hemodynamics. Lung recruitment significantly

rose by 12.0% (8.5-18.0%), P = 0.05 (Conv-HFPV EE) and 12.5% (9.3–16.8%), P=0.003 (Conv-HFPV EI). Hyperinflation

tended to increase by 2.0% (0.5-2.5%), P=0.89 (Conv-HFPV EE) and 3.0% (2.5-4.0%), P = 0.27 (Conv-HFPV EI). HFPV

hyperinflation correlated with hyperinflated and normally-aerated lung volumes at baseline: r=0.79, P = 0.05 and

r=0.79, P=0.05, respectively (Conv-HFPV EE); and only hyperinflated lung volumes at baseline: r=0.88, P=0.01

(Conv-HFPV EI). HFPV CT-determined tidal volumes reached 5.7 (1.1-8.1) mL.kg¹ of ideal body weight (IBW).

Correlations between pleural and HFPV-monitored pressures were acceptable and end-inspiratory pleural pressures

remained below 25cmH₂0.
