Influence of Lung Recruitment Potential on PEEP Titration Strategies in ARDS Patients. (RECRUIT-PEEP)

18. maj 2026 opdateret af: Hospital Dr. Franco Ravera Zunino

Influence of the Lung Recruitment Potential on the Response to Two PEEP Titration Strategies in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by severe hypoxemia and diffuse alveolar collapse, often requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. Non-individualized mechanical ventilation settings can cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) prevents alveolar collapse, but its effect varies among individuals. The recruitment-to-inflation (R/I) ratio evaluates bedside lung recruitment potential. This pilot study aims to compare two individualized PEEP titration strategies-one guided by the best static respiratory compliance and another guided by transpulmonary pressure via an esophageal balloon-and evaluate how baseline lung recruitment potential alters the early physiological responses to these interventions. Both strategies are preceded by an identical, standardized pressure-controlled initial lung recruitment maneuver to establish a baseline recruitment state.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-group pilot study conducted at the Adult Intensive Care Unit of Hospital Dr. Franco Ravera Zunino (HFRZ). Eligible adult patients under invasive mechanical ventilation with moderate-to-severe ARDS within 36 hours of fulfilling Berlin criteria will be evaluated.

Prior to randomization, the patient's recruitment potential will be measured bedside using the R/I ratio (where > 0.5 indicates high recruitment potential and <= 0.5 indicates low potential). Eligible participants will then be randomized 1:1 into two PEEP titration groups:

  1. PEEP titration targeted to achieve the best static compliance of the respiratory system.
  2. PEEP titration guided by transpulmonary pressure measured via an esophageal balloon to target a positive end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure.

Crucially, immediately before starting the specific PEEP titration protocol in either group, an identical, standardized lung recruitment maneuver will be performed. This maneuver is executed in pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) with a control pressure of 15 cmH2O, I:E ratio of 1:1, FiO2 1.0, starting with PEEP 5 cmH2O and increasing by 5 cmH2O every 10 seconds up to PEEP 25 cmH2O, maintaining a maximum peak pressure limit of 40 cmH2O for exactly 1 minute.

Standard baseline ventilator parameters will follow protective ventilation targets: volume-controlled ventilation, tidal volume 6-8 mL/kg of predicted body weight, respiratory rate adjusted to keep pH 7.25-7.45, plateau pressure < 28 cmH2O, and driving pressure < 14 cmH2O. Physiological parameters (PaO2/FiO2, driving pressure, ventilatory ratio, static compliance) will be recorded at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours. The primary outcome is the change in oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2 ratio) at 24 hours. The study will explore how the baseline phenotype of lung recruitability alters early mechanical and gas exchange outcomes.

Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Best Static Compliance Titration
Patients receive positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration guided by the best static compliance of the respiratory system after undergoing a standardized initial lung recruitment maneuver

PEEP Titration by Static Compliance: Following the initial recruitment maneuver, an individualized PEEP decremental titration step-protocol is performed to identify the specific PEEP level that maximizes the static compliance of the respiratory system, aiming to optimize the balance between alveolar recruitment and overdistension.

Initial Lung Recruitment Maneuver : Prior to individualized PEEP titration, all participants in this arm will undergo an initial standardized lung recruitment maneuver. This procedure will be executed in Pressure-Controlled Ventilation (PCV) mode, utilizing a driving/control pressure of 15 cmH2O. The recruitment process will begin at a baseline Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O, followed by incremental steps of 5 cmH2O every 10 seconds until reaching a maximum PEEP of 25 cmH2O. A peak airway pressure limit of 40 cmH2O will be strictly maintained during the maneuver for a total duration of 1 minute.
