Carolyn Calfee Clinical and Biological phenotypes of ARDS
- what do they have in common?

ARDS : subgrouping since the begining
- sepsis vs. non sepsis
- hyper vs. hypoinflamm
- reactive vs uninflamed
#ventilation #ards #phenotypes #LIVES2022
Are clinical phenotypes biologically distinct?
looking at Trauma vs. Non trauma

ICAM-1 , SP-D, vWF, sTNFr-1 are different.
What about in "Direct" vs. "indirect"
or "Diffuse" vs "focal" -- sRAGE comes up again.

"Do we Need a biological definition of ARDS"

- Berlin definition has NO Diffuse alveolar damage .
- the Berlin defn does not capture well

ARDS - new definition or phenotypes by @GicoBellani refreshing with Kigali definition of ARDS - useful not just low resource but during pandemic in supposedly high income settings and only draw back is no PEEp requirement #ards #ventilation #LIVES2022 @ESICM
@GicoBellani @ESICM Resolved versus confirmed ARDS
- prospectively applying Berlin definition did work but if ya wait 24 hrs and re-measure P/F ratio, you end up stratifying much better.
- Better separation of groups

@GicoBellani @ESICM Whichever definition - american european consensus or Berlin or Kigali -- all goes back to Ashbaugh original paper in 1967

Why are we so confused when it comes to ARDS definition ?

Next: Derek Angus : motivation to "TEST" steroids in COVID-19 ARDS.
Doctors "love" giving steroids. How about we "test" it?
#LIVES2022
#ventilation
#ards #steroids @ESICM
@ESICM steroids : long list of side effects ( 2' bac infection, impair host response, impair viral clearance).
- which steroid, when, what dose, how long
- unclear if all COVID patients in hospital should receive Steroids.
#LIVES2022
#steroids #ards
@ESICM large RCTs 1. RECOVERY(UK) - not 20mg in DEXA-ARDS but 6mg. in the O2 receiving group, Dexa seems to be better. Ventilated patient - very strong signal too of dexamethasone being better.

NEXT: Clinical question : ARDS and steroids-sensitive patterns by President-Elect @ElieAzoulay5
lots of questions: why? how ? phenotypes? timing? dose? are we missing "systemic vasculitis,etc" behind defn ARDS?

#steroids #ARDS @ESICM
@ElieAzoulay5 @ESICM Refreshing ARDS definition. Berlin definition needs further updates (more on this later). 🤓
Pathological : DAD : Diffuse Alveolar Damage" has many causes - most of them we wont discuss steroid use at all.
@ElieAzoulay5 @ESICM thus DAD pathological diagnosis is not helpful to ask clinical question of steroids.
Interesting finding in autopsy data in ARDS. #LIVES2022

NEXT: Corticosteroids in Bacterial pneumonia? By @antoniotorres Barcelona Spain.
Starting with 30-day mortality of severe CAP is very high. Microbial etiology is Strep pneumoniae, Legionella, Staph aureus, Pseudomonas and Polymicrobial #LIVES2022
#ventilation
@ESICM
@AntonioTorres @ESICM anti-inflamm Rx :steroids / macrolides may reduce mortality. Rationale : local and systemic inflammatory responses are increased in CAP, thus "down-regularte" them. Delfi consensus : no recommendation for any CAP but for in icu CAP patients, recommended. #steroids #ards @ESICM
@AntonioTorres @ESICM Rx steroids 0.5mg/kg/12 hr methylpred for 5 days for CAP. However influenza patient -- steroids may increase mortality. What happen also with Macrolides and Steroids combination ? In study : no synergistic effect and no additional improvement. #steroids #cap #ventilation @ESICM

1/🧵 An exacerbating factor in #LongCOVID is the “Quality of Life (QOL) Gap”🧵👇

…when a person’s expectations about QOL are at odds w their reality.
 
“Covid was over & Long COVID hit my brain, heart & GI.”
 
Let me unpack a study of ICU survivors…
bit.ly/3vp0AMl
2/ Read the thread I attached to the first tweet.

From the cancer literature, we learned about the QOL Gap.

If people appropriately prepare for their “ACTUAL” QOL, there’s a narrow gap and all is well.

If not, #Depression & #Despair too often set in.
3/ This study from Johns Hopkins by @vitaincerta & team adds to our understanding in a way that will apply so well to #COVID ICU survivors.

These are ARDS patients, which is almost always what lands COVID pts in the ICU and later with #PICS.

1/🧵 Brain + Body damage in #COVID & Critical Illness
 
Sepsis -bacterial, viral, fungal- can cause rapid-onset #dementia. Finishing this test should be easy at her age but Millions of brain cells are damaged!

Protect yourself & others: #Vaxx + #Mask

H/T @trishla_17 for helping
2/ Our brain depends on a delicate balance of blood flow, nutrients & oxygen. When someone gets critically ill w #Covid or from other causes, that balance is dramatically disrupted. Small blood clots, dropping oxygen levels cause 🧠 damage.

bit.ly/36K5F65
3/ It’s odd to me that people don’t see severe COVID as a form of VIRAL SEPSIS. Sepsis is when infection of any kind causes your organs to begin to fail – lungs, brain, heart, kidneys.  It’s EXACTLY what we see day-in day-out in the COVID ICU.

Gracias por la invitación. Ahora si, entremos en materia.
Los objetivos planteados en tres puntos:
Relacionar el Ultrasonido Pulmonar (LUS) y la Ventilación Mecánica (VM).
Conocer guías y monitoreo que nos ofrece el POCUS en VM y mencionar elementos evaluables por LUS.

Demystifying APRV-TCAV yesterday at #TCAV course. Thank you for the invite @ThinkingCC #FOAMed #ventilation #COVID19 #ARDS
Initial settings - important to distinguish between rescue and post op atalectasis.

Set :
P high to 2mmHg less than patient's peak pressure on current settings.

P low to 0mmHg.
To set your resp rate:

60/current resp rate is your Time at high pressure (T high) + Time at low pressure (T low)

Eg: Resp rate of 25
60/25 = Thigh + Tlo = 2.4 secs

1/ 🧵A picture is worth 1,000 words 👁 #COVID19:

This 🎥 shows a clear example of what can happen to a person’s body w #COVID. His wife asked me to show it on twitter & urges everyone to get #vaccinate

#MedTwitter #NurseTwitter #CriticalCare
2/ You’ll notice his eyes are swollen shut. (Written perm to show). This is not fluid. It’s AIR from inside his chest leaking out his lungs 🫁 through muscles & skin to his neck & into his face. He is AWAKE & communicating but had ICU #delirium earlier.

#MedStudentTwitter #Nurse
3/ Look at his chest CT. See the “L” lungs w #Covid pneumonia/#ARDS & also AIR leaking out under his skin. Now go back to 1st tweet & watch 🎥 again. This is called “barotrauma” & happens when the 🫁s get too stiff and pop. Difficult situation. We’re hoping he can heal!

1/ Do data support pt trial off sedation for “SAT” when pt is comfortable on current dose? Yes
 
Shared w permission:
“Dr. Ely, yesterday our ICU #nurses went over #A2Fbundle in Epic for implementation. Do you recommend SAT at RASS Goal of RASS -1 to +1?
#medtwitter #criticalcare
2/ Excellent #Nurse added:

“We are currently not doing SAT (Spontaneous Awakening Trial) but keeping pt’s RASS -1 to +1.  Just want to make sure we are interpreting #A2Fbundle correctly.”
 
#TipsForNewDocs
#medstudenttwitter #COVID19 #pandemic
3/ my Answers:

Great questions. I don’t think +1 (anxiety) is ever a good goal but 0 to -1 is a 👍 default target RASS if we acknowledge there are times when sedation target should acceptably be set as deep as -3/-4 in bad #ARDS or -5 transiently when pt requires paralytics.

One of the shifts in my social media since my mother passed away is to engage in ways that people who are human, results-oriented, genuine can interact.. while recognizing there will always be the folks here for optics. It's a reminder to spend my time, energy, care for results.
You'll find threads on how I learned strength from my late mother

Is what I relied on when she was in the ICU or when we were living in a war zone

That's in contrast to the fragile & "threat!" approach that was on display with the Amy Cooper incident

bet.com/news/national/…
Keeping in mind that Amy Cooper campaigned/fundraised for Obama

yet, when, from the looks of it the black man was not important enough or she may have felt no one would find out

she threatened a black man in a mechanism of white power: "vulnerability"
