Conservative Fluid Management • 304 patients randomized to daily BNP levels versus usual care • Patients randomized to daily BNP levels • More diuretics, negative fluid balance • Less time to extubation • 50% fewer VAEs P=.02 Dessap et al. Chest 2014; ePub ahead of print
The VAP Prevention Paradox Crit Care 2009;13:315
The Upshot • VAP rates are unreliable outcomes • VAE rates likely reliable but still very new. Unclear how best practices will impact them. • If we want to know whether a prevention measure really works or not, we have to look at objective outcomes such as: • duration of mechanical ventilation • ICU length-of-stay • hospital length-of-stay • mortality
Minimize sedation Greater sedation associated with longer ventilator and ICU stays. Increases risk for pneumonia and other infections. RCT data from Denmark showing that vented patients can be adequately managed with NO sedation Spontaneous awakening trials associated with less overall sedative use and earlier extubation http://ppcdrugs.com/en/products/alphabetical/midazolam-1mg-5ml/ NEJM 1996;335:1864-9 NEJM 2000;342:1471-7 Lancet 2008;371:126-134 Lancet 2010;375:475-80
Paired daily sedative interruptions and spontaneous breathing trials Wake Up and Breathe • Spontaneous breathing trials associated with earlier extubation • Patients are more likely to pass spontaneous breathing trials if they’re awake for the trial • RCT data showing that pairing SATs with SBTs speeds extubation by ~3 days and shortens ICU and hospital LOS by ~4 days compared to SBTs alone Lancet 2008;371:126-134 NEJM1996;335:1864-9
Early mobility – Wake Up & Walk! • Early mobilization assocaited with less time to extubation and shorter ICU stays • May also help prevent atelectasis & delirium • As with improved sedative management and weaning protocols, less time on vent means less time at risk for VAEs Lord et al., Crit Care Med 2013;41:717 Schweickert et al., Lancet 2009;373:1874 Needham et al., Arch Phys Med Rehabil2010;91:536 http://69.36.35.38/images/CHESTPhysician/CritCareCom0610Fig2.jpg
Low tidal volume ventilation • Higher tidal volumes associated with acute lung injury • Randomized controlled trial data showing that lower tidal volumes protect against acute lung injury in patients without ARDS and lower mortality rates in patients with ARDS http://page2anesthesiology.org/2012/less-rather-than-more-volume-is-better-when-ventilating-patients-after-cardiac-surgery/ Determann, Critical care2010;14(1):R1 ARDSnet, NEJM 2000;342:1301-1308
Summary • VAP diagnosis is subjective and non-specific • Inconsistent association between VAP and patient outcomes • Many interventions purportedly lower VAP rates but no impact on patient outcomes: “the VAP Prevention Paradox”. • Makes VAP an unreliable outcome • VAEs more objective and consistently predict adverse outcomes… but the definitions are still very new, very little data so far on how prevention strategies impact VAE rates • Implication: need to look at objective outcomes if we want to be sure that CUSP 4 MVP is helping our patients
