End-Expiratory Diaphragmatic Residual Contraction Index for Identifying Intrinsic PEEP and Assisting PEEP Titration: A Prospective Physiological Study

5. července 2026 aktualizováno: Huiqing Ge, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital
This study proposes the End-expiratory Diaphragmatic Residual Contraction (EDRC) index to quantify residual diaphragmatic activity at end-expiration during Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) mode. The study aims to validate the relationship between EDRC and dynamic intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi), triggering load, patient-ventilator asynchrony, and PEEP responsiveness through a brief, standardized PEEP titration trial conducted within a clinically safe range. This will provide a basis for subsequent individualized PEEP setting guided by EDRC.

Studijní populace

The study population will consist of adult patients ($\ge$ 18 years) admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) mode. Participants will be recruited from the ICU at [Insert Name of Hospital/Institution].

The population is characterized by patients who are clinically assessed as having a risk of dynamic intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi,dyn) or are undergoing a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) as part of the weaning process. All enrolled patients will have an indwelling esophageal balloon catheter placed for the measurement of esophageal pressure (Pes), which serves as the reference standard for respiratory mechanics.

Patients will be screened for eligibility based on hemodynamic stability and the ability to tolerate the study procedures. Specific exclusion criteria include pregnancy, severe esophageal pathology, severe hypoxemia, and conditions precluding diaphragmatic ultrasound imaging (e.g., chest wall tra

Presence of an indwelling esophageal balloon catheter (for reference standard measurements).

Provision of written informed consent from the patient or legally authorized representative.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy or lactation. Known esophageal diseases (e.g., esophageal varices, strictures, recent esophageal surgery) or contraindications to esophageal catheter placement.

Severe hemodynamic instability (e.g., requiring high-dose vasoactive support, uncontrolled arrhythmias).

Severe hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2 < 100 mmHg) or severe hypercapnia with hemodynamic compromise at baseline.

Conditions precluding ultrasound assessment of the diaphragm (e.g., extensive chest wall trauma, large pleural effusion, severe subcutaneous emphysema).

Active spontaneous breathing with severe patient-ventilator asynchrony that cannot be stabilized during the trial.

Anticipated extubation or withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment within the next 24 hours.

Participation in another interventional clinical trial within the last 30 days.

Kohorty a intervence

Skupina / kohorta
Intervence / Léčba
Patients Undergoing PEEP Step Trial and EDRC Assessment
All enrolled patients will receive a standardized, short-term PEEP step trial while in Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) mode. The trial consists of sequentially applying PEEP levels of Baseline, -2, +2, +4, and +6 cmH2O relative to the set PEEP. At each step, respiratory mechanics and patient-ventilator synchrony will be monitored. The primary intervention of interest is the assessment of End-Expiratory Diaphragmatic Residual Contraction (EDRC) via ultrasound to identify the presence of intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi) and to determine the optimal level of extrinsic PEEP that minimizes diaphragmatic effort and asynchrony.
This intervention involves a standardized, short-term PEEP step trial combined with a novel physiological assessment. During the trial, external PEEP is systematically adjusted in 2 cmH2O increments (Baseline, -2, +2, +4, +6 cmH2O) while maintaining stable Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) settings. Simultaneously, the End-Expiratory Diaphragmatic Residual Contraction (EDRC) index is evaluated using diaphragm ultrasound speckle tracking. This distinguishes the intervention by providing a non-invasive, real-time quantification of residual diaphragmatic tension at end-expiration, which serves as a surrogate marker for dynamic intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi) and trigger load, distinguishing it from traditional static measurements or esophageal manometry alone.

Diagnostic Efficacy of EDRC-AUC for Identifying Clinically Significant Dynamic Intrinsic PEEP
Časové okno: During the short-term PEEP step trial (each PEEP level is maintained for 5-10 minutes)
The primary outcome is the diagnostic efficacy of the End-Expiratory Diaphragmatic Residual Contraction Area Under the Curve (EDRC-AUC) in identifying clinically significant dynamic intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi,dyn ≥ 5 cmH2O) in patients undergoing Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV). The diagnostic performance will be evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, reporting the Area Under the Curve (AUC), optimal cut-off value, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value, with esophageal manometry and flow curves as the reference standard.
