Bronchoalveolar lavages were performed in 21 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation: Group I: coma due to sedative overdose (11 cases), without pulmonary impairment, serving as control group; Group II: severe acute pulmonary disease without ARDS (5 cases); Group III: patients with ARDS (5 cases). In the recovered fluid we measured: total proteins (P) and phospholipids (PL), phospholipasic (PLase) and prophospholipasic (PPLase) activities. In ARDS group, considerable increase of P, (p<0.001), and a doubling of PL (p<0.02) was found. Total PLase activity was present in all three groups, with a higher mean level in Group III (p<0.01). PPLase activities were low or untetectable in four patients of this group. PLase/PL ratio was increased in acute respiratory insufficiency, with or without ARDS, suggesting an increase of surfactant catabolism. The decrease of this ratio when pulmonary function improved, or its increase after deterioration suggest that it is related to changes of surfactant.  相似文献

Objective: To assess the effects of the association of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with different inflation volumes (VT's) on passive lung deflation and alveolar recruitment in ARDS patients.¶Design: Clinical study using PEEP with two different VT's and analyzing whether passive lung deflation and alveolar recruitment (Vrec) depend on end-inspired (EILV) or end-expired (EELV) lung volume in mechanically ventilated ARDS patients.¶Setting: Medical intensive care unit in a university hospital.¶Patients and participants: Six mechanically ventilated consecutive supine patients with ARDS.¶Interventions: Time-course of thoracic volume decay during passive expiration and Vrec were investigated in six ARDS patients ventilated on PEEP with baseline VT (VT,b) and 0.5VT (0.5VT,b), and on zero PEEP (ZEEP) with VT,b. Time constants of the fast (τ 1) and slow (τ 2) emptying compartments, as well as resistances and elastances were also determined.¶Measurements and results: (a) the bi-exponential model best fitted the volume decay in all instances. The fast compartment was responsible for 84 ± 7 (0.5VT,b) and 86 ± 5 % (VT,b) on PEEP vs 81 ± 6 % (VT,b) on ZEEP (P:ns) of the exhaled VT, with τ 1 of 0.50 ± 0.13 and 0.58 ± 0.17 s vs 0.35 ± 0.11 s, respectively; (b) only τ 1 for VT,b on PEEP differed significantly (P < 0.02) from the one on ZEEP, suggesting a slower initial emptying; (c) for the same PEEP, Vrec was higher with a higher volume (VT,b) than at a lesser one (0.5VT,b), reflecting the higher VTConclusions: In mechanically ventilated ARDS patients: (a) the behavior of airway resistance seems to depend on the degree of the prevailing lung distension; (b) alveolar recruitment appears to be more important when higher tidal volumes are used during mechanical ventilation on PEEP; (c) PEEP changes the mechanical properties of the respiratory system fast-emptying compartment.  相似文献

Objective Cytokeratin 19 (CK19) is a specific cytoskeletal structure for alveolar epithelium. We hypothesized that the levels of CK19 fragments in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid could serve as an index of epithelial injury and as a prognosis marker in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The aims of our study were, in patients with ALI/ARDS: (1) to measure CK19 fragments concentrations in BAL fluid, (2) to assess its prognostic value, and (3) to identify the cellular source of CK19 in the alveolar space.Design Prospective preliminary study.Setting University hospital surgical ICU.Patients Twenty-two mechanically ventilated patients with ALI/ARDS and 10 non-ventilated control patients. Plasma samples were obtained for 11 ALI/ARDS patients.Measurements and results The concentration of BAL CK19 fragments was higher in patients (median 4916 pg/ml, 25th–75th percentile 2717–10533) than in controls (2208 pg/ml. 767–3923; p = 0.05), and higher in 10 non-survivors (7051 pg/ml, 4372–13371) than in 12 survivors (2888 pg/ml, 1315–5639; p = 0.03 among ALI/ARDS patients). BAL CK19 fragment concentration did not correlate with simplified acute physiologic score, lung injury score or PaO2/FIO2 ratio, but correlated positively with BAL albumin concentration (p = 0.002) and with number of BAL macrophages (p = 0.0001). Plasma CK19 fragment concentrations were 10 times lower than those in BAL. Immunohistochemical staining for CK19 showed a strong labelling of injured detached epithelial cells and hyperplastic epithelium in ALI/ARDS lung samples.Conclusion CK19 fragment concentrations were found to be elevated in BAL fluid in ALI/ARDS patients compared with control subjects. High BAL CK19 fragment levels were associated with a poor prognosis.Electronic supplementary material The electronic reference of this article is .

肺泡蛋白沉着症肺泡灌洗术前后定量CT应用评价   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
目的 探讨定量CT在肺泡蛋白沉着症(PAP)支气管肺泡灌洗术中的应用价值.方法 定量CT通过分析PAP患者最大吸气末肺容积、肺重量、肺含气体积、平均肺密度及平均含气体积结果,对10例PAP患者共14次(两肺13次,单肺1次)肺泡灌洗术CT资料进行分析.并结合常规CT(病灶范围、密度)、肺功能(检查9次)及血气分析检查(检查14次)结果进行对比分析.结果 PAP经支气管肺泡灌洗术后,定量CT检查显示肺重量从(1594±436) g减低至(1294±374) g(P=0.000),平均肺密度从(0.5269±0.12) g/ml减低至(0.4389±0.09) g/ml(P=0.006),平均肺充气体积从(1.0989±0.5031) ml/g增加至(1.4700±0.4548) ml/g(P=0.008),肺含气体积有一定程度增加(P=0.116),肺容积在灌洗后略增加(P=0.938);肺泡灌洗前后的肺容积与肺含气体积呈显著相关(绝对系数R2=0.94,P=0.000).常规CT评价79%(11/14)CT检查结果改善.支气管肺泡灌洗术后有10次肺功能检查结果示DLCO%从45.85%±22.09%上升到54.64%±19.09%(P=0.007)、DLCO/VA%从67.30%±22.62%上升到76.03%±18.60%(P=0.03);FVC%、FEV1%、FEV1/FVC、PEF%也有不同程度改善,但无统计学差异(P>0.05).14次血气分析显示从肺泡灌洗前的低氧血症[PaO2(8.07±2.1) kpa]到肺泡灌洗后的明显好转[PaO2(14.7±5.24) kpa](P=0.001).结论 定量CT可为PAP疗效评估提供客观依据,肺泡灌洗术后以定量CT结果中的肺重量、平均肺密度及平均含气肺体积改善明显.常规CT评价对PAP疗效观察具有一定价值.通过肺泡灌洗术,大部分患者病情短期内得到显著改善.  相似文献

Eight patients who developed pulmonary artery hypertension during the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were treated with an infusion of prostacyclin (PGI2, 12.5–35.0 ng·kg–1·min–1) for 45 min. We examined whether reducing the right ventricular (RV) outflow pressures by PGI2 infusion would increase the right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) measured by thermodilution. PGI2 reduced the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) from 35.6 to 29.1 mmHg (p<0.01). The cardiac index (CI) increased from 4.2 to 5.81·min–1·m–2 (p<0.01) partly due to an increased stroke volume. The decreased PAP together with the increased CI resulted in a fall of the calculated pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI, from 5.1 to 2.5 mmHg·min·m2·1–1,p<0.01). In the patients with subnormal baseline RVEF the increased stroke volume was associated with an increased RVEF (from 47.6% to 51.8%,p<0.05) suggesting improved RV function. This result was underscored by a significant relationship between the changes in PVRI and RVEF (r=0.789, % RVEF=–2.11·PVRI-1.45). Despite an increased venous admixture from 27.8% to 36.9% (p<0.05) the arterial PO2 remained constant resulting in an increased oxygen delivery from 657 to 894 ml·min–1·m–2 (p<0.01). We conclude that short term infusions of PGI2 increased CI concomitant to improved RV function parameters when baseline RVEF was depressed. Since improved oxygen availability should be a major goal in the management of patients with ARDS PGI2 may be useful to lower pulmonary artery pressure in ARDS.Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (grant Fa 139/2-2)  相似文献

Objective: To determine whether the quality of infiltrations in chest radiographs can accurately predict the histological extent of fibrotic change in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Design: Retrospective clinical investigation. Setting: Intensive care unit (ICU) of a university teaching hospital. Patients and methods: Of 47 patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe ARDS over a 5-year period, 23 patients underwent open lung biopsy at thoracotomy for treatment, mostly of pneumothorax. Chest films obtained by portable chest roentgenography preceding the operation were reviewed retrospectively and compared to the histomorphological results of the lung specimen. Results: Chest radiographs displayed mixed alveolar-reticular opacification in 60.2 %, alveolar patterns in 22.9 % and reticular opacities in 10.5 %. In 0.4 % there were no infiltrates, 6 % could not be evaluated because of insufficient quality. There was no relevant difference between the right and left lungs. Subdividing patients into two groups according to the histological results of either absent or mild (1) or severe (2) lung fibrosis, we found an alveolar haziness in 12.3 % in group 1 compared with 28.2 % in group 2, while reticular characteristics were identified in 13 % and 11 %, respectively. Conclusions: The most common opacity in chest radiographs of patients with severe ARDS treated with ECMO is mixed alveolar-reticular opacification. Severe lung fibrosis is not positively correlated with a reticular radiographic pattern. ECMO does not lead to specific radiological changes in conventional radiograms, contrary to clinical findings that treatment with ECMO might induce pleural or pulmonic haemorrhage, especially in the earlier days when systemic heparinization had to be used instead of the heparin-coated tube-surfacing.

Fove whole bronchoalveolar lavages were performed in 2 patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis with continuous monitoring of mixed venous and arterial oxygen saturation. Hemodynamic parameters and gas-exchange status were measured during the different phases of the lavage. In the phase of filled lung, a significant increase of arterial partial pressure (PaO2) and arterial saturation of oxygen were observed, secondary to a decrease in the intrapulmonary shunt. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistances and cardiac index were higher during the filling of the lung as compared to the controls. During the empty lung phase, although PaO2 decreased (without reaching statistical significance), due to an increase in the intrapulmonary shunt, the increase in cardiac output during this phase left the oxygen delivery (DO2) unchanged.To be presented in part at the 1991 American Thoracic Society Congress  相似文献

We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study to determine the performance characteristics of the galactomannan (GM) assay in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Patients were classified as proven, probable, possible, or no invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), according to international guidelines. A total of 173 BAL samples from 145 patients were included. There were 5 proven, 7 probable, and 35 possible cases of IPA. Using a GM index cutoff of ≥0.5, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively) of the BAL GM assay were 100%, 78%, 26%, and 100%, respectively. Using a GM index cutoff of ≥2.0, the sensitivity and NPV remained 100%, but specificity and PPV increased to 93% and 50%, respectively. The BAL GM assay is a highly sensitive screening test for IPA in patients with hematologic malignancies. Increasing the cutoff value to 2.0 would improve the performance of this assay.  相似文献

Objective To evaluate the reliability of mini-bronchoalveolar lavage (mini-BAL) for the measurement of tobramycin concentrations in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) in comparison with conventional bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Design Prospective, open-label study. Setting An intensive care unit and research ward in a university hospital. Patients Twelve critically ill adult patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Interventions All subjects received intravenous infusions of tobramycin 7–10 mg/kg once daily. After 2 days of therapy, the steady-state serum and ELF concentrations (obtained from BAL and mini-BAL) of tobramycin were determined by means of high-performance liquid chromatography. Measurements and results We observed poor penetration of tobramycin in ELF of ≈ 12% with ELF peak concentrations of ≈ 3 mg/l with both methods. Good agreement in Bland–Altman analysis (mean ± SD bias = 0.04 ± 0.38 mg/l) was observed between the two methods of sampling. Conclusion Our results suggest that tobramycin 7–10 mg/kg once daily in critically ill patients with VAP might provide insufficient lung concentrations in the case of difficult-to-treat pathogens. Besides, mini-BAL, which is simple, non-invasive and easily repeatable at the bedside, appears to be a reliable method for the measurement of antibiotic concentrations in ELF in comparison with bronchoscopic BAL in critically ill patients with VAP.

Patients with unilateral acute lung injury (UALI; n=6) and ARDS (n=4) were evaluated by bronchoalveolar lavage, as controls we used 5 patients suffering from cerebral hemorrhage and without pulmonary, cardiac or infectious disease who were mechanically ventilated. For each group of patients two independent bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) were performed. The BAL fluid recovered from the two lungs was immediately analyzed for leukotrienes (LTS) by means of RP-HPLC and stained for cell counts. The BAL from the control group did not show any LTS and the percentage of neutrophils was within the normal range: 1±0.2% right lung and 1.2±0.4% left lung. The BAL fluid from UALI patients showed two different patterns, the injured lung showed high levels of LTS (39.1±8 ng ml-1 LTB4; 25±6 ng ml-1 LTD4 and 27.8±8.2 ng ml-111-trans LTC4) and an increased percentage of neutrophils (74.2±7%) compared to controls. Only 2 out of the 6 patients from the UALI group showed small amounts of LTB4 (4 ng ml-1) and LTD4 (3.2 ng ml-1). The BAL obtained from the healthy lung in both cases showed values of LTS almost eight fold lower than those present in the injured lung. The percentage of neutrophils from the unaffected lungs (4.3±7%) was not significantly different from controls. Lavage fluid from ARDS patients showed a similar picture to that of the affected lung from UALI patients. Evaluation of ARDS lavage fluid demonstrated the presence of the same LTS (LTB4, LTD4 and 11-trans LTC4) with concentrations similar to those found in the injured lung of UALI subjects. The amount of LTB4 (a very potent chemotatic factor) correlated directly with the percentage of neutrophils both in ARDS and the diseased lung of UALI patients. These findings suggest that LTS and neutrophils participate in the pathophysiology of UALI and ARDS, and that UALI is a localized pathologic entity similar to ARDS.The data from this study have been partially presented, as communication, during the 4th European Congress on Intensive Care Medicine in Baveno, June 14–18, 1988.This work is partially supported by MPI 601 CAP 02112.01.04 1984/1989.  相似文献
