The load of the respiratory muscles is within the fatiguing zone in patients who fail to wean Vassilakopoulos T et al, AJRCCM 1998; 158:378-85

Is low frequency fatigue causing weaning failure? Laghi F et al, AJRCCM 2003; 167:120-7
At the last minute of the weaning trialTTIdi=0.26 Tlim= 13 minutes Laghi F et al, AJRCCM 2003; 167:120-7
Weaning trials were terminated before the time patients were predicted to develop low frequency fatigue of the diaphragm
If standard predefined criteria of weaning outcome are usedlow frequency fatigue is not present at the time weaning fails Controlled Mechanical Ventilation should not be used for fatigue reversal in difficult weaning • Vassilakopoulos T et al, Critical Care 2005;10(1):204

Weaning Failure: Respiratory muscle weaknessThink Of: • ICU-acquired paresis • Prolonged neuromuscular blockade • Critical illness myopathy & neuropathy • Acute quadraplegic myopathy • Ventilator-Induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD)
ICU-acquired paresis • CRITICAL ILLNESS POLYNEUROPATHY & MYOPATHY (CIPNM) • Sepsis • Multi-organ dysfunction • Hyperglycemia • Intensive insulin therapy reduces CIPNM from 51.9% to 28.7% of patients receiving > 7 days of ICU care • Van den Berghe G et al N Engl J Med 2001;345:1359-67 • Drugs (NMB, corticosteroids) • Pure neuropathy, myopathy, neuromyopathy • Diagnosis: ENG, EMG, muscle biopsy Deem S et al Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2003;168:735-9

Contractile dysfunction resides within the diaphragmatic muscle
Mechanisms of contractile dysfunction • Muscle Atrophy • Oxidative Stress • Structural Injury • Fiber Type Transformation • Remodeling
Atrophy Shanely RA et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2002;166: 1369-74
Muscle Atrophy • Protein synthesis • Proteolysis
Protein Synthesis Shanely RA et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2004;170:994-9
Proteolysis • Lysosomal proteases (cathepsins) • Calpains • Proteasome
proteolysis Shanely RA et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2002;166: 1369-74
Calpains degrade proteins partially Calpains render proteins anemable to proteasome degradation Shanely RA et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2002;166: 1369-74

Summary: mechanisms of VIDD • Muscle Atrophy • Oxidative Stress • Structural Injury
When to suspect VIDD • Patient who fails to wean • Controlled Mechanical Ventilation (CMV) • ICU-Acquired Paresis excluded • Prolonged neuromuscular blockade: • TOF • Critical Illness Polyneuropathy & Myopathy: • ENG, EMG, muscle biopsy • VIDD may coexist or aggravate ICUAP
How to prevent VIDD • We do not really know! • Potential countermeasures: • Assisted modes of mechanical ventilation • Intermittent activity? • Periodic electrical stimulation? • Antioxidant administration

Antioxidant nutrients: a systematic review of trace elements and vitamins in the critically ill patient • Conclusions: Trace elements and vitamins that support antioxidant function are safe and may be associated with a reduction in mortality in critically ill patients Heyland D et al, Intensive Care Med 2005;31:327-337
Conclusions • Respiratory muscles during weaning failure: • excessive load • Weakness • Weakness may be due: • ICU-acquired paresis • VIDD • Preventive measures: • Strict glucose control • Assisted modes of mechanical ventilation • Antioxidants
