Ventilator management for acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus infection: A case series

Abstract: In H7N9-infected patients with ARDS, low tidal volume strategy was the conventional mode. RM as one of rescue therapies to refractory hypoxemia in these patients with serious architectural distortion and high CT scores, which could cause further lung damage, may induce bad outcomes and requires serious consideration. Prone ventilation may improve mortality, and should be performed at the early stage of the disease, not as a rescue therapy.

“…Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a life-threatening inflammatory disease of the lungs [22, 23]. Although a mechanical ventilation strategy has been shown to influence mortality in this syndrome, there is currently no proven pharmacologic treatment despite more than 30 completed or ongoing clinical trials [22].…”

“…Ventilation in the prone position improves lung mechanics and gas exchange and is currently recommended by the guidelines. 29,30 The prone position, if planned, should not be a desperate final attempt but should be considered in the early stages of the disease, 40 as the evidence suggests that the early application of prolonged ventilation in the prone position decreases 28-and 90-day mortality in patients with severe ARDS. 41 Prone position ventilation is currently widely used for critically ill patients in Wuhan ( fig.…”

“…There are no effective therapeutics for ARDS so far. Patients are usually treated with low tidal volume ventilation and fluid restriction, high dose of corticosteroid and antioxidants, such as N‐acetylcysteine . However, the therapeutic approaches produced elusive therapeutic effects and did not improve patient survival rate.…”
