    High-frequency ventilation methods caused significant tracheal injury in cats, including inflammation and cell damage. Conventional mechanical ventilation resulted in less severe tracheal histopathology compared to all high-frequency methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Recent reports suggest a link between high-frequency ventilation and tracheal injuries.
    • Understanding the specific histopathological effects of different ventilation modes is crucial for patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare tracheal histopathology following conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) and various high-frequency ventilation (HFV) strategies.
    • To evaluate the impact of different HFV devices and frequencies on tracheal tissue.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-six adult cats underwent 16 hours of mechanical ventilation.
    • Ventilation groups included: standard-frequency CMV, high-frequency CMV, high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) via IDC VS600, and HFJV via Bunnell Life Pulse (BLP).

  • Tracheal tissues were analyzed using a semiquantitative histopathologic scoring system.

    • Main Results:

    • All HFV methods induced significant tracheal inflammation, necrosis, and polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration near the endotracheal tube tip.
    • CMV resulted in less tracheal damage than any HFV method.
    • The BLP ventilator, operating at the highest frequency, caused the most significant loss of cilia and mucus depletion.

    Conclusions:

    • All tested forms of high-frequency ventilation are associated with significant tracheal damage.
    • HFJV and high-frequency CMV produced similar levels of tracheal injury.
    • Ventilator settings and device type influence the severity of tracheal histopathology.
