Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the effect of VT reduction and alveolar recruitment on systemic and contralateral dissemination of bacteria and inflammation during right-side pneumonia.

Design

Interventional animal study.

Setting

University hospital research laboratory.

Subjects

A total of 54 male Wistar rats.

Interventions

One day after right lung instillation of 1.4×107 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, rats were left unventilated or ventilated for 2 h at low VT (6 ml/kg) with different strategies of alveolar recruitment: no PEEP, 8 cm H2O PEEP, 8 cm H2O PEEP in a left lateral position, 3 cm H2O PEEP with partial liquid ventilation, or high VT (set such as end-inspiratory pressure was 30 cm H2O) without PEEP (ZEEP). After ventilation the lungs, spleen and liver were cultivated for bacterial counts. Global bacterial dissemination was scored considering the percentage of positive spleen, liver and left lung cultures. TNF-α was assayed in plasma before and after mechanical ventilation.

Measurements and results

All rats had right-side pneumonia with similar bacterial counts. All mechanical ventilation strategies, with the exception of low VT-PEEP 8, promoted contralateral lung dissemination. Overall bacterial dissemination was less in non-ventilated controls (22%) and low VT-PEEP 8 (22%) than in high VT-ZEEP (67%), low VT-PEEP 8 in left lateral position (59%) and low VT-ZEEP (56%) (p<0.05). Partial liquid ventilation prevented systemic bacterial translocation, but at the expense of contralateral bacterial seeding. Plasma TNF-α concentration increased significantly after mechanical ventilation with no PEEP at both high and low VT.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that PEEP might reduce the risk of ventilation-induced bacterial and inflammatory mediator dissemination during pneumonia.
