TLDR
It is found that hypercapnia was common in patients with COVID-19–associated ARDS while using low VT ventilation, and low VT may not be the best approach for all patients with ARDS, particularly those with a less severe decrease in respiratory system compliance and inadequacy of ventilation.Abstract:
ventilation strategy was applied to the first four patients to increase pulmonary efficiency to eliminate CO2, and this was used in the next four patients. Gas exchange consists of oxygenation and ventilation. Oxygenation is quantified by the PaO2/FIO2 ratio, and this method has gained wide acceptance, particularly since publication of the Berlin definition of ARDS (7). However, the Berlin definition does not include additional pathophysiological information about ARDS, such as alveolar ventilation, as measured by pulmonary dead space, which is an important predictor of outcome (8). Increased pulmonary dead space reflects the inefficiency of the lungs to eliminate CO2, which may lead to hypercapnia. In our patients with ARDS with COVID-19, hypercapnia was common at ICU admission with low VT ventilation. Assuming the anatomic portion of dead space is constant, increasing VT with constant respiratory rate would effectively increase alveolar ventilation. Any such increase in VT would decrease PaCO2, which would be captured by VR (6). VR, a novel method to monitor ventilatory adequacy at the bedside (4–6), was very high in our patients, reflecting increased pulmonary dead space and inadequacy of ventilation. With an acceptable plateau pressure and driving pressure, titration of VT was performed. PaCO2 and VR were significantly decreased when an intermediate VT (7–8 ml/kg PBW) was applied. We suggest that intermediate VT (7–8 ml/kg PBW) is recommended for such patients. Therefore, low VT may not be the best approach for all patients with ARDS, particularly those with a less severe decrease in respiratory system compliance and inadequacy of ventilation. In summary, we found that hypercapnia was common in patients with COVID-19–associated ARDS while using low VT ventilation. VR was increased in these patients, which reflected increased pulmonary dead space and inadequacy of ventilation. An intermediate VT was used to correct hypercapnia efficiently, while not excessively increasing driving pressure. Clinicians must have a high index of suspicion for increased pulmonary dead space when patients with COVID19–related ARDS present with hypercapnia. nread more

TL;DR: In ARDS, the percentage of potentially recruitable lung is extremely variable and is strongly associated with the response to PEEP, which may decrease ventilator-induced lung injury by keeping lung regions open that otherwise would be collapsed.

Mechanical Ventilation to Minimize Progression of Lung Injury in Acute Respiratory Failure
TL;DR: It is argued that application of a lung-protective ventilation, today best applied with sedation and endotracheal intubation, might be considered a prophylactic therapy, rather than just a supportive therapy, to minimize the progression of lung injury from a form of patient self-inflicted lung injury.

TL;DR: A new mechanics-based index is described to directly quantify the potential for lung recruitment, called the recruitment-to-inflation ratio (R/I ratio), which estimates how much of an increase in endexpiratory lung volume induced by PEEP is distributed between the recruited lung (recruitment) and the inflation and/or hyperinflation of the “baby lung” when a higher PEP is applied.
