Abstract

Objective: To determine if increasing positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) leads to a change in cardiac index in children with Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ranging from mild to severe. Design: Prospective interventional study. Setting: Multidisciplinary Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in a University teaching hospital. Patients: Fifteen intubated children (5 females, 10 males) with a median age of 72 months (IQR 11, 132) and a median weight of 19.3 kg (IQR 7.5, 53.6) with a severity of Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome that ranged from mild to severe with a median lung injury score of 2.3 (IQR 2.0, 2.7). Measurements: Cardiac index (CI) and stroke volume (SV) were measured on baseline ventilator settings and subsequently with a PEEP 4 cmH2O higher than baseline. Change in CI and SV from baseline values was evaluated using Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: A total of 19 paired measurements obtained. The median baseline PEEP was 8 cmH2O (IQR 8, 10) Range 6-14 cmH2O. There was no significant change in cardiac index or stroke volume with change in PEEP. Baseline median CI 4.4 L/min/m2 (IQR 3.4, 4.8) and PEEP 4 higher median CI of 4.3 L/min/m2 (IQR 3.6, 4.8), p = 0.65. Baseline median SV 26 ml (IQR 13, 44) and at PEEP 4 higher median SV 34 ml (IQR 12, 44) p = 0.63. Conclusion: There is no significant change in cardiac index or stroke volume with increasing PEEP by 4 cmH2O in a population of children with mild to severe PARDS. Clinical Trial Registration: The study is registered on Clinical trails.gov under the Identifier: NCT02354365.

Keywords: acute respiratory distress syndrome; cardiac index; mechanical ventilation; positive end-expiratory pressure; stroke volume.

Cardiac index and PEEP. Data are presented as median, inter-quartile, and non-outlier range. The box plot represents the entire group and each patient's change in cardiac output is displayed as a line diagram with the change from baseline PEEP to PEEP plus 4 cmH2O. There is no statistically significant change in cardiac index at median PEEP of 8 cmH2O compared to median PEEP of 12 cmH2O.

Change in Cardiac Index with increased PEEP. Groups separated by change in dynamic compliance of the respiratory system. Data are presented as median, inter-quartile, and non-outlier range. The left box represents change in cardiac index from Baseline to PEEP plus 4 cmH2O where there was minimal or no change in the respiratory compliance from Baseline to PEEP plus 4 cmH2O. The right box represents the change in cardiac index for subjects where the respiratory compliance worsened from Baseline to PEEP plus 4 cmH2O. There is no statistically significant difference between the change in cardiac index between the two groups (Mann Whitney U test, p = 0.91).
