Mechanical Power for Ventilatory Settings in Operating Room (IMPROVEIII)

26. Mai 2026 aktualisiert von: University Hospital, Montpellier

Mechanical Power for Ventilatory Settings in Operating Room: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Postoperative respiratory failure (PRF) is a dreaded complication that imposes a significant burden through unplanned admission to the ICU, post discharge disability and mortality. Despite widespread implementation of intraoperative lung-protective ventilation strategies over the past decade, results remain inconsistent. Interventions targeting individual parameters like tidal volume or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) have shown equivocal results. The use of high PEEP and recruitment maneuvers raises safety concerns by possible negative hemodynamic effects. Recent studies suggest that individualizing ventilation strategies based on mechanical power-a composite parameter integrating tidal volume, plateau pressure, PEEP, and ventilator frequency-may better predict and help prevent PRF, independently of patients' baseline respiratory system compliance. These studies identified this parameter as interventional targets to reduce lung injury during mechanical ventilation. However, no multicenter randomized controlled trial has been performed in the field of ventilatory settings titration during invasive mechanical ventilation in operating room.

The investigators hypothesize that a ventilation strategy aimed at decreasing mechanical power will reduce the incidence of PRF and mortality in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, compared with a standard strategy using fixed tidal volume and PEEP

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Postoperative respiratory failure (PRF) is a dreaded complication that imposes a significant burden through unplanned admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and post discharge disability. Respiratory failure evident by tracheal intubations 1 month following nonemergent, noncardiac surgeries has been associated with a nine-fold increase in mortality. Efforts to reduce the rates of PRF have incorporated intraoperative ventilation strategies as a central element, with lung-protective ventilation following recommendations for the ICU setting being broadly implemented over the past decade. Interventions targeting individual parameters like tidal volume have shown equivocal results. To summarize, two randomized clinical trials showed lung-protective ventilation with low tidal volume (VT) in addition to high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuver (RM) to prevent against postoperative pulmonary complications when compared with ventilation with high VT plus low PEEP without RM. Two other large, randomized trials found no benefit of high PEEP with RM compared with low PEEP without RM in this setting, suggesting that beneficial effects arise primarily from the use of low VT ventilation. Concerns have also been raised about possible negative hemodynamic effects of high PEEP and RMs in these studies. One size does not fit all. Individualized strategies are needed, such as ones using driving pressure (plateau pressure - PEEP), to perform PEEP titration. Using this calculated parameter, reduced incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications has been demonstrated in small randomized controlled trials, and not achieved in others. However, tidal volume and respiratory rate are also important parameters to limit ventilator induced injuries, and are not considered when assessing driving pressure. Mechanical power, a concept that in addition to tidal volume, plateau pressure and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) also integrates the ventilatory frequency, has been recently associated with a higher risk of PRF. This formula is now implemented in the most recent operating room ventilators, and used in routine by some teams, with lack of evidence showing an efficacy of this strategy to set ventilatory settings. Although it has become clear that high mechanical power identifies patients at risk of PRF both in the operating room and ICU, there is an ongoing debate about whether they are linked to PRF, or whether these parameters merely represent an epiphenomenon in patients with impaired respiratory system mechanics and elevated risk at baseline.

Recently, several studies showed that high mechanical power was associated with PRF independent from patients' baseline respiratory system compliance. These studies identified this parameter as interventional targets to reduce lung injury during mechanical ventilation. However, no multicenter randomized controlled trial has been performed in the field of ventilatory settings titration during invasive mechanical ventilation in operating room.

The investigators made the hypothesis that a strategy aimed at decreasing mechanical power (tidal volume, respiratory rate and PEEP individually titrated to minimize the mechanical power) will reduce PRF and mortality in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, when compared with that of a strategy of standard care (with fixed level of tidal volume and PEEP). The investigators expect decreased PRF and mortality rate in the group "mechanical power-guided ventilatory settings". The investigators also expect in this group reduced duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation, reduced incidence of postoperative organ dysfunction, and reduced duration of hospital stay.

Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Mechanical power-guided ventilatory strategy
In the intervention group, ventilatory settings will be personalized according to the mechanical power, after the surgical incision (whether laparoscopy or laparotomy), and after the pneumoperitoneum insufflation (for laparoscopy only) or stop of pneumoperitoneum insufflation.
Verfahren: Mechanical power-guided ventilatory strategy
  1. Tidal volume 7ml/kg PBW and RR titrated for EtCO2 between 40-50mmHg. See calculated Mechanical power:0,049*tidal volume*RR*driving pressure.
  2. Set PEEP 15cmH2O and perform recruitment maneuver at 30cmH2O for 20s. Decrease PEEP from 15 by steps of 2cmH2O until the lower level of PEEP minimizing mechanical power. Note mechanical power. Stop maneuver and/or decrease level of PEEP if decrease>20% of cardiac output during the maneuver, when compared to baseline.
  3. Repeat this step using 9 ml/kg PBW and choose the optimal tidal volume with lowest mechanical power.

During the surgery, adjust RR to maintain EtCO2 between 40-50mmHg, with an inspiratory-to-expiratory time ratio of 1:2 to 1:1, an end-inspiratory pause of 30%, an FiO2 adjusted to maintain SpO2≥94%. Recruitment maneuvers will be performed after intubation, in case of ventilator disconnection, coelioscopy insufflation, change of position, at the end of surgery, or if mechanical power >30%.
Aktiver Komparator: Control group with standard fixed ventilatory settings
In the control group, standard care will be performed.
Verfahren: Standard fixed ventilatory settings

Tidal volume 7 ml/kg predicted body weight, calculated according to a predefined formula: 50+0.91 x (centimeters of height - 152.4) for males and 45.5+0.91 x (centimeters of height - 152.4) for females, fixed PEEP between 6 and 8 cmH20, recruitment maneuvers at the discretion of the physician.

The respiratory rate will be adjusted to maintain end-tidal partial pressure of CO2 between 30 and 40 mmHg, a target reported to be used by approximately 90% of physicians according to a recent online survey administered to French anesthesiologists via the French Society of Anesthesia & Intensive Care Medecine (SFAR), which will be published soon, with an inspiratory-to-expiratory time ratio of 1:2 to 1:1, an end-inspiratory pause of 30 %, and an FiO2 adjusted to maintain SpO2 ≥ 94%.

Mechanical power will not be measured during the surgery to avoid any modification of the ventilatory setting by the physician in charge.
