Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The concept of safe mechanical ventilation continues to develop, especially for special diseases, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ventilation strategy based on respiratory mechanics and lung-protective ventilation, in order to provide life support for critically ill patients and minimize iatrogenic injury. When the patient and ventilator do not match in the respiratory transmission process, patient ventilation asynchrony (PVA) will occur between the patient and ventilator. The high incidence of asynchrony is associated with prolonged hospitalization and death. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can evaluate the regional distribution of lung during ventilation, with time and space information, so as to provide the basis for lung protection and diaphragm protection ventilation.

Who can participate?
ICU patients over 18 years old who requiring invasive mechanical ventilation

What does the study involve?
This study is an observational study, which only collects the patients’ clinical data (basic data, ventilator waveform, esophageal internal pressure, and gas distribution in the lung), and alveolar lavage fluid (this biological sample is the sample to be collected in the process of routine clinical diagnosis and treatment, which is not a special requirement of this study), does not interfere with the clinical diagnosis and treatment process.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
None

Where is the study run from?
Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University (China)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
July 2021 to March 2023

Scientific titleIdentification and mechanism of patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) in patients with mechanical ventilation by electrical impedance tomography (EIT)
Study objectivesThe purpose of this study is to explore the identification of man-machine asynchrony and its mechanical mechanism in patients with mechanical ventilation by EIT, as well as the impact of different subtypes on the prognosis of patients, so as to provide basis for lung protection and diaphragm protection ventilation.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 28/07/2021, Ethics committee of Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University (3 qingchun east road, jianggan district, hangzhou; +86 (0)571-86960497; yyc261@foxmail.com), ref: 310016
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPatients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation
InterventionAfter the eligible patients are enrolled, we will use the respcare information system continuously and automatically collect the ventilator waveform and record the respiratory mechanical parameters. We will also use the gastric tube to monitor esophageal pressure and observe the gas distribution in the lung by chest wall electrical impedance imaging every day, the identify invalid trigger (IEE), double trigger (DT) and reverse trigger (RT) in PVA through the machine . All the above will help us identify and analyse the mechanical mechanism of PVA in patients with mechanical ventilation.

1. Collection of basic data: disease diagnosis, severity score (SAPS II, sofa), presence or absence of sepsis, chest imaging, laboratory examination (ABG, cx3, CX4, CBC), treatment and outcome. Use standardized data collection tables. Identification results and clinical interpretation.
2. The Respcare information system continuously and automatically collects the ventilator waveform and records the respiratory mechanical parameters: Pvent, PMUs, paw, ers, RRs, PES, PL, Pplat, flow and volume.
3. Through gastric tube (including esophageal pressure monitoring): place the gastric tube with esophageal pressure measurement function, calibrate and measure the esophageal internal pressure (4 times a day, 1 hour each time, 10 hours in total).
4. The gas distribution in the lung was observed by chest wall electrical impedance imaging (4 times a day, 1 hour each time, a total of 10 hours): by comparing the impedance change with the reference state, the improved Newton Raphson algorithm was used to reconstruct the tidal volume distribution image. The regional and overall velocity variation process is recorded with a velocity resolution of 20Hz.The overall impedance time curve is the sum of all pixel impedance changes.
5. Identify invalid trigger (IEE), double trigger (DT) and reverse trigger (RT) in PVA through machine learning.
6. 5ml of partial alveolar lavage fluid was reserved and sent for cell analysis.
