We evaluated the influence of different partial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO) levels on organ perfusion in patients with respiratory failure receiving pressure-support ventilation with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO).
In this twelve patients prospective study, ECMO gas-flow was decreased from baseline (PaCO < 40 mmHg) until PaCO increased by 5-10 mmHg (High-CO phase). Resistance indices of gut, spleen, and snuffbox artery, the peripheral perfusion index (PPI), and heart rate variability were measured at baseline and High-CO phase.
When PaCO increased from 36 (36-37) mmHg at baseline to 42 (41-43) mmHg in the High-CO phase (p < 0.001), PPI decreased significantly (p = 0.026). The snuffbox artery (p = 0.022), superior mesenteric artery (p = 0.042), and spleen (p = 0.012) resistance indices increased significantly. The root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) decreased from 19.5(18.1-22.7) to 15.9(14.4-18.6) ms (p = 0.034), and the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency components(LF/HF) increased from 0.47 ± 0.23 to 0.70 ± 0.38 (p = 0.013).
High PaCO might cause decreased peripheral tissue and visceral organ perfusion through autonomic nervous system in patients with respiratory failure undergoing PSV with V-V ECMO.
我们评估了不同部分二氧化碳压力(PaCO)水平对接受压力支持通气和静脉-静脉体外膜肺氧合(V-V ECMO)的呼吸衰竭患者器官灌注的影响。
在这项十二名患者的前瞻性研究中,将 ECMO 气体流量从基线(PaCO < 40 mmHg)降低到 PaCO 增加 5-10 mmHg(高 CO 阶段)。在基线和高 CO 阶段测量了肠道、脾脏和鼻烟窝动脉的阻力指数、外周灌注指数(PPI)和心率变异性。
当 PaCO 从基线时的 36(36-37)mmHg 增加到高 CO 阶段的 42(41-43)mmHg 时(p < 0.001),PPI 显著降低(p = 0.026)。鼻烟窝动脉(p = 0.022)、肠系膜上动脉(p = 0.042)和脾脏(p = 0.012)的阻力指数显著增加。连续差异的均方根(RMSSD)从 19.5(18.1-22.7)降至 15.9(14.4-18.6)ms(p = 0.034),低频与高频成分的比值(LF/HF)从 0.47 ± 0.23 增至 0.70 ± 0.38(p = 0.013)。
在接受 PSV 和 V-V ECMO 的呼吸衰竭患者中,高 PaCO 可能通过自主神经系统导致外周组织和内脏器官灌注减少。
