Bronchiolectasis-a complication of artificial ventilation.

G Slavin, J F Nunn, J Crow

    British Medical Journal (Clinical Research Ed.)
    |October 2, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Artificial ventilation can cause lung injury like pneumothorax. Bronchiolectasis, linked to increased dead space, was found in deceased patients, predicted by high positive end-expiratory pressure levels and duration.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Pulmonology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Artificial ventilation is crucial for respiratory support but can lead to pulmonary barotrauma.
    • Clinical manifestations of barotrauma include pneumothorax, pneumo-mediastinum, and subcutaneous emphysema.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between artificial ventilation parameters and bronchiolectasis in patients who died in the intensive therapy unit.
    • To identify predictors of bronchiolectasis in mechanically ventilated patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Post-mortem examination (necropsy) of eleven patients who received artificial ventilation.
    • Correlation analysis between ventilation parameters (e.g., positive end-expiratory pressure) and observed bronchiolectasis.

    Main Results:

    • Pronounced bronchiolectasis was observed in eleven patients post-necropsy.
    • Bronchiolectasis was associated with significantly increased physiological dead space during life.
    • Maximum positive end-expiratory pressure level and its duration were the best predictors of bronchiolectasis.

    Conclusions:

    • High levels and prolonged use of positive end-expiratory pressure during artificial ventilation may contribute to bronchiolectasis and increased dead space.
    • Caution is advised when using high positive end-expiratory pressure levels.
    • Further studies are needed to understand the clinical course in survivors.
