Volume targeted ventila- tion has been shown to reduce both complications and the duration of required mechanical ventilation. The recommended tidal volumes vary from 4-8 mL/kg, but the optimal tidal volume remains elusive. Aims and objectives To compare volume ventilation at a lower (4-5 mL/kg) with a higher (7-8 mL/kg) tidal volume during volume guarantee ventilation (VG) of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in very preterm infants. Methodology The randomised trial was conducted at North Tees Hospital in North East England from 2013 to 2016. Babies <32 weeks’ gestation or <1500 grams birthweight requiring mechanical ventilation within 12 hours of life from RDS were included in the study. Babies were randomised to receive lower (4-5 mL/kg) or higher (7-8 mL/kg) tidal volume using Volume Guarantee (VG). The primary outcome was the time to achieve a 25% reduction from the initial peak inspiratory pressure (PIP). Secondary outcomes included the duration of mechanical ventilation, as well as respiratory and non-respiratory complic- ations. Results Babies in both groups were similar at baseline with regard to maternal, demo- graphic and clinical characteristics. There was no difference in the primary i outcome of time difference to reach a 25% reduction in baseline peak pres- sure between the two groups. There were no differences in short term sec- ondary outcomes (air leak, pulmonary haemorrhage, sepsis, IVH, NEC, PDA and ROP) or medium term complications (Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia at 28 days’ life and 36 weeks PMA, severity of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, amount of home oxygen, survival to discharge and survival without Bronchop- ulmonary Dysplasia at 36 weeks PMA). The minute volume, paCO2 or FIO2 requirements were not significantly different either. Summary and conclusions This trial did not find statistically significant differences between lower versus higher tidal volume delivery in a population of 70 infants with RDS. It is possible that both tidal volume ranges selected for study are at functional residual capacity and this might be one reason for negative results of the study. Supervisors: Professor Samir Gupta and Professor A. P. S. Hungin ii Dedicated to My Parents Acknowledgements I wish to thank my supervisors Professor Samir Gupta and Professor Pali Hungin. It would be an understatement to state that this would not have been completed without their guidance and support. Professor Samir Gupta’s drive and clear think- ing have contributed enormously to ensuring this project addresses the critical clin- ical questions. It has been a privilege to be supervised by Professor Hungin. He has been the driving force behind the thesis. This was a clinical project and therefore required help and cooperation from my colleagues at the neonatal unit at University Hospital of North Tees. Dr. Hariku- mar, my mentor and a senior consultant colleague in the department helped me immensely by his inputs in the protocol and implementation. He took an active interest in ensuring that in my absence the robust methodology was followed and for that, I am grateful. My other consultant colleagues, Dr. Janakiraman, Dr. Job and Dr. Reichert, were incredibly supportive in identifying, enrolling and following the protocol. I also would like to acknowledge their significant contribution to this work by supporting my training and development both in clinical practice and in my research. I can never thank enough my research nurse, Ms. Wendy Cheadle, who helped me with preparing the randomising envelopes, distributing leaflets and taking consent from parents in my absence. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to the exceptional nursing staffof the neonatal unit of University Hospital of North Tees (UHNT). Working in the unit has been a genuine pleasure and, at times, a welcome distraction from research work. They are caring, supportive, highly skilled, professional, and hard-working. There are far too many nursing colleagues and junior doctors to name everyone who helped me in identifying possible recruits, collecting tracheal aspirates and speaking to parents about the research. I want to mention help and contributions from Ms. Jayne Jobling, Ms. Lisa Linsel, Ms. Jodie Jenkins, Ms. Lisa Stoves, Ms. Shirley iv Lidgley, Ms. Sue Stones, Ms. Sam Davies, Dr. Sharon Probert, Dr. Anil Panicker and Dr. Soe thi Dar. I am also grateful to the Research and Development Department at the University Hospital of North Tees which helped me draft the research ethics application. The tracheal aspirates were stored at -80 degree centigrade and analysed locally by Ms. Liz Baker, the research scientist at UHNT and I am grateful to her. I am also grateful to Dr. Kasim Adetoyo, statistician at Durham University who helped with the statistics required with the thesis.The team at the former School of Medicine, Pharmacy and Health at Durham University provided much assistance in setting up this project, and I wish to acknowledge Ms. Veronica Crooks for her help and support. I would also like to express my gratitude to my Deanery colleagues, especially Dr. Lorna Gillespie, training programme director, and a consultant neonatologist to permit me to carry out this research work I am passionate about. Finally, it would be understatement to state that I am extremely grateful to my family and friends who have helped me in every step of the way to ensure that I complete this project satisfactorily. A special mention merits of Dr. Shobha Srivastava who helped me with proof reading and Dr. Atul Gupta who provided his expertise in thesis writing to help me achieve the desired formatting and backed me up with my small and big queries promptly. Their moral support and timely help made me feel supported and empowered to complete the project with the high standards set by all of us.

    Airway Pressures and Volutrauma

    Airway Pressures and Volutrauma Airway Pressures and Volutrauma: Is Measuring Tracheal Pressure Worth the Hassle? Monitoring airway pressures during mechanical ventilation is a standard of care.1 Sequential recording of airway pressures not only provides information regarding changes in pulmonary impedance but also allows safety parameters to be set. Safety parameters include high- and low-pressure alarms during positive pressure breaths and disconnect alarms. These standards are, of course, based on our experience with volume control ventilation in adults. During pressure control ventilation, monitoring airway pressures remains important, but volume monitoring and alarms are also required. Airway pressures and work of breathing are also important components of derived variables, including airway resistance, static compliance, dynamic compliance, and intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP), measured at the bedside.2 The requisite pressures for these variables include peak inspiratory pressure, inspiratory plateau pressure, expiratory plateau pressure, and change in airway pressure within a breath. Plateau pressures should be measured at periods of zero flow during both volume control and pressure control ventilation. Change in airway pressure should be measured relative to change in volume delivery to the lung (pressure-volume loop) to elucidate work of breathing. See the related study on Page 1179. Evidence that mechanical ventilation can cause and exacerbate acute lung injury has been steadily mounting.3-5 While most of this evidence has originated from laboratory animal studies, recent clinical reports appear to support this concept.6,7 Traditionally, ventilator-induced lung injury brings to mind the clinical picture of tension pneumothorax. Barotrauma (from the root word baro, which means pressure) is typically associated with excessive airway pressures.

    Gattinoni et al. Critical Care (2017) 21:183 DOI 10.1186/s13054-017-1750-x REVIEW Open Access The future of mechanical ventilation: lessons from the present and the past Luciano Gattinoni1*, John J. Marini2, Francesca Collino1, Giorgia Maiolo1, Francesca Rapetti1, Tommaso Tonetti1, Francesco Vasques1 and Michael Quintel1 Abstract The adverse effects of mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) arise from two main causes: unphysiological increases of transpulmonary pressure and unphysiological increases/decreases of pleural pressure during positive or negative pressure ventilation. The transpulmonary pressure-related side effects primarily account for ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) while the pleural pressure-related side effects primarily account for hemodynamic alterations. The changes of transpulmonary pressure and pleural pressure resulting from a given applied driving pressure depend on the relative elastances of the lung and chest wall. The term ‘volutrauma’ should refer to excessive strain, while ‘barotrauma’ should refer to excessive stress. Strains exceeding 1.5, corresponding to a stress above ~20 cmH2O in humans, are severely damaging in experimental animals. Apart from high tidal volumes and high transpulmonary pressures, the respiratory rate and inspiratory flow may also play roles in the genesis of VILI. We do not know which fraction of mortality is attributable to VILI with ventilation comparable to that reported in recent clinical practice surveys (tidal volume ~7.5 ml/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ~8 cmH2O, rate ~20 bpm, associated mortality ~35%). Therefore, a more complete and individually personalized understanding of ARDS lung mechanics and its interaction with the ventilator is needed to improve future care.

Although much has been written about the advantages and disadvantages of these increasingly complex modalities, currently there is no convincing evi- dence of the superiority of one mode of ventilation over another. It is also important to bear in mind that individual patient characteristics must be considered when adopting a particular mode of ventilatory support. As em- phasized in the 1993 American College of Chest Physicians Consensus Con- ference on Mechanical Ventilation, ‘‘although the quantitative response of a given physiologic variable may be predictable, the qualitative response is highly variable and patient specific’’ [1]. Partly because of the inherent difficulties in working with pressure venti- lation, the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Network chose to use a volume mode of support for their landmark low tidal volumetrial [2]. The preference for volume ventilation at ARDS Network centers was later demonstrated in a retrospective study of clinicians’ early approach to me- chanical ventilation in acute lung injury/ARDS. Pressure control was used in only 10% of the patient population before study entry. There was a mod- est tendency to use pressure control ventilation (PCV) in patients with more severe oxygenation defects (PaO2/FiO2, or P/F !200) and a greater toler- ance for higher airway pressures when using this mode.

    What is new in ventilation - New modes of ventilation and new Anesthesia Machine Technology Mary Theroux, MD; Stephen Stayer, MD, FAAP General Review: -Differences between pressure control and volume ventilation. -Monitoring ventilation in pediatric patients. -Can an adult anesthesia machine bellows and circle system be used to ventilate infants and children, and if so, how should it be set up? -Is there an advantage to bringing an “ICU-type” ventilator into the OR for pediatric -- patients with non-compliant lungs? -Are the technical advances of two newly available anesthesia ventilators sufficient to provide adequate ventilation for all pediatric patients with non-compliant lungs? -What is High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation? Do we need to know HFOV? -What new developments are there that soon may become available for pediatric ventilation in the operation room? Volume Control vs. Pressure Control: Pressure limited or pressure control ventilation (PCV) is frequently applied to infants and children. There are several advantages to this mode of ventilation. Limiting the peak inflating pressure delivered by the ventilator will limit the transalveolar pressure produced, thereby reducing ventilator-induced lung injury. (1) The decelerating flow used to produce PCV is thought to improve the distribution of gas flow. (2) When compared to volume control ventilation there is a more rapid improvement in lung compliance and oxygenation. (3) Lastly, setting anesthesia ventilators to deliver accurate small tidal volumes is difficult because of

Abstract Assisted mechanical ventilation (MV) may be a favorable alternative to controlled MV at the early phase of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), since it requires less sedation, no paralysis and is associated with less hemodynamic deterioration, better distal organ perfusion, and lung protection, thus reducing the risk of ventilator- associated lung injury (VALI). In the present review, we discuss VALI in relation to assisted MV strategies, such as volume assist–control ventilation, pressure assist– control ventilation, pressure support ventilation (PSV), airway pressure release ventila-
