Abstract
BACKGROUND: We tested the association between pulmonary dead-space fraction (ratio of dead space to tidal volume [V(D)/V(T)]) and mortality in subjects with ARDS (Berlin definition, P(aO2)/F(IO2) ≤ 300 mm Hg; PEEP ≥ 5 cm H2O) enrolled into a clinical trial incorporating lung-protective ventilation. METHODS: We conducted a prospective, multi-center study at medical-surgical ICUs in the United States. A total of 126 ALI subjects with acute lung injury were enrolled into a phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled study of aerosolized albuterol. V(D)/V(T) and pulmonary mechanics were measured within 4 h of enrollment and repeated daily on study days 1 and 2 in subjects requiring arterial blood gases for clinical management. RESULTS: At baseline, non-survivors had a trend toward higher V(D)/V(T) compared with survivors (0.62 ± 0.11 vs 0.56 ± 0.11, respectively, P = .08). Differences in V(D)/V(T) between non-survivors and survivors became significant on study days 1 (0.64 ± 0.12 vs 0.55 ± 0.11, respectively, P = .01) and 2 (0.67 ± 0.12 vs 0.56 ± 0.11, respectively, P = .004). Likewise, the association between VD/VT and mortality was significant on study day 1 (odds ratio per 0.10 change in V(D)/V(T) [95% CI]: 6.84 [1.62-28.84] P = .01; and study day 2: 4.90 [1.28-18.73] P = .02) after adjusting for V(D)/V(T), P(aO2)/F(IO2), oxygenation index, vasopressor use, and the primary risk for ARDS. Using a Cox proportional hazard model, V(D)/V(T) was associated with a trend toward higher mortality (HR = 4.37 [CI 0.99-19.32], P = .052) that became significant when the analysis was adjusted for daily oxygenation index (HR = 1.74 [95% CI 1.12-3.35] P = .04). CONCLUSIONS:Markedly elevated V(D)/V(T) (≥ 0.60) in early ARDS is associated with higher mortality. Measuring V(D)/V(T) may be useful in identifying ARDS patients at increased risk of death who are enrolled into a therapeutic trial.
