Observation of Curative Effect of Lung Recruitment in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome after Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery

Abstract

Recruitment maneuver (RM) has become a routine supplementary maneuver for clinical rescue of severe ARDS with low tidal volume/pressure-limited mechanical ventilation. Recruitment of patients with ARDS mechanical ventilation can improve the lung compliance, promote the opening of collapsed alveoli, improve the ratio of ventilation to blood flow, reduce dead space, reduce shunt flow, and improve oxygenation function. In this paper, the patients were divided into lung recruitment group and conventional treatment group by the random number permutation table method. When the patient's percutaneous oxygen saturation is less than or equal to 88%, the partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood gas is less than or equal to 55 mmHg, or the ventilator tube is disconnected during sputum suction or other accidents, a CPAP × 60 - second lung recruitment maneuver is required. Then adjust the ventilator parameters in the same way. In the process of lung recruitment, the changes in invasive continuous arterial blood pressure will also be observed. If the blood pressure dropped to ≤90/60 mmHg, one recruitment maneuver was terminated in advance. And both groups of patients used the Dräger- or PB840-imported multifunctional ventilator. The treatment of primary disease and predisposing factors, fluid management strategies, antibiotics and glucocorticoids, nutrition, and metabolic support in the two groups of patients in the study were the same. The PaO2/FiO2 value improved by 51% 10 minutes after recruitment, and the median increased from 111 (IQR, 73-265) before recruitment to 170 (IQR, 102-340) (P < 0.01), the improvement of PaO2/FiO2 at 4 hours after recruitment and 12 hours after recruitment was 78% (P < 0.05) and 39% (P < 0.01), respectively, and the median PaO2/FiO2 at 4 hours after recruitment was 198 (IQR, 116-256). The median PaO2/FiO2 became 155 (IQR, 127-235) 12 hours after recruitment. Recruitment can reduce the accumulation of neutrophils in lung tissue, reduce the release of inflammatory factors, reduce pulmonary edema, and reduce pathological damage.
