The respective effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and pressure support delivered through the helmet interface in patients with hypoxemia need to be better understood. To assess the respective effects of helmet pressure support (noninvasive ventilation [NIV]) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compared with high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) on effort to breathe, lung inflation, and gas exchange in patients with hypoxemia (Pa/Fi ⩽ 200). Fifteen patients underwent 1-hour phases (constant Fi) of HFNO (60 L/min), helmet NIV (PEEP = 14 cm HO, pressure support = 12 cm HO), and CPAP (PEEP = 14 cm HO) in randomized sequence. Inspiratory esophageal (ΔP) and transpulmonary pressure (ΔP) swings were used as surrogates for inspiratory effort and lung distension, respectively. Tidal Volume (Vt) and end-expiratory lung volume were assessed with electrical impedance tomography. ΔP was lower during NIV versus CPAP and HFNO (median [interquartile range], 5 [3-9] cm HO vs. 13 [10-19] cm HO vs. 10 [8-13] cm HO; = 0.001 and = 0.01). ΔP was not statistically different between treatments. Pa/Fi ratio was significantly higher during NIV and CPAP versus HFNO (166 [136-215] and 175 [158-281] vs. 120 [107-149]; = 0.002 and = 0.001). NIV and CPAP similarly increased Vt versus HFNO (mean change, 70% [95% confidence interval (CI), 17-122%], = 0.02; 93% [95% CI, 30-155%], = 0.002) and end-expiratory lung volume (mean change, 198% [95% CI, 67-330%], = 0.001; 263% [95% CI, 121-407%], = 0.001), mostly due to increased aeration/ventilation in dorsal lung regions. During HFNO, 14 of 15 patients had pendelluft involving >10% of Vt; pendelluft was mitigated by CPAP and further by NIV. Compared with HFNO, helmet NIV, but not CPAP, reduced ΔP. CPAP and NIV similarly increased oxygenation, end-expiratory lung volume, and Vt, without affecting ΔP. NIV, and to a lesser extent CPAP, mitigated pendelluft.

需要更好地了解正呼气末压(PEEP)和通过头盔界面提供的压力支持各自对低氧血症患者的影响。评估头盔压力支持(无创通气 [NIV])和持续气道正压通气(CPAP)与高流量鼻氧(HFNO)相比对低氧血症患者(Pa/Fi ⁇ ⁇ 200)呼吸努力、肺充气和气体交换的各自影响。15 名患者接受了 1 小时的 HFNO(60 L/min)、头盔 NIV(PEEP = 14 cm HO,压力支持 = 12 cm HO)和 CPAP(PEEP = 14 cm HO)的随机阶段。使用食管吸气(ΔP)和跨肺压(ΔP)波动作为吸气努力和肺膨胀的替代指标。潮气量(Vt)和呼气末肺容量通过电阻抗断层扫描评估。与 CPAP 和 HFNO 相比,NIV 期间的 ΔP 更低(中位数 [四分位间距],5 [3-9] cm HO 比 13 [10-19] cm HO 比 10 [8-13] cm HO;= 0.001 和 = 0.01)。治疗之间 ΔP 无统计学差异。与 HFNO 相比,NIV 和 CPAP 期间的 Pa/Fi 比值显着更高(166 [136-215] 和 175 [158-281] 比 120 [107-149];= 0.002 和 = 0.001)。与 HFNO 相比,NIV 和 CPAP 同样增加了 Vt(平均变化,70%[95%置信区间(CI),17-122%],= 0.02;93%[95% CI,30-155%],= 0.002)和呼气末肺容量(平均变化,198%[95% CI,67-330%],= 0.001;263%[95% CI,121-407%],= 0.001),主要是由于背部肺区通气/通气增加。在 HFNO 期间,15 名患者中有 14 名患者的 pendelluft 涉及 >10%的 Vt;CPAP 和进一步的 NIV 减轻了 pendelluft。与 HFNO 相比,头盔 NIV 降低了 ΔP,但 CPAP 没有。CPAP 和 NIV 同样增加了氧合、呼气末肺容量和 Vt,而不影响 ΔP。NIV 减轻了 pendelluft,而 CPAP 的作用较小。该临床试验在 clinicaltrials.gov 注册(NCT04241861)。
