conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)
Fig 2 Relationship between patient effort and ventilator pressureduring various ventilation modes During volume ventilation pa-tient effort and ventilator pressure are inversely related Duringpressure ventilation ventilator pressure in unaffected by patienteffort During proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally ad-justed ventilatory assist (NAVA) patient effort and ventilator pres-sure are directly related (Adapted from Reference 5)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning

conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)
Fig 2 Relationship between patient effort and ventilator pressureduring various ventilation modes During volume ventilation pa-tient effort and ventilator pressure are inversely related Duringpressure ventilation ventilator pressure in unaffected by patienteffort During proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally ad-justed ventilatory assist (NAVA) patient effort and ventilator pres-sure are directly related (Adapted from Reference 5)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases
patient morbidity mortality ICU length of stay and cost to the healthcare system (2) When initial weaning attempts fail to liberate patients from MV ideally clinicians should choose

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases
patient morbidity mortality ICU length of stay and cost to the healthcare system (2) When initial weaning attempts fail to liberate patients from MV ideally clinicians should choose

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)
Fig 2 Relationship between patient effort and ventilator pressureduring various ventilation modes During volume ventilation pa-tient effort and ventilator pressure are inversely related Duringpressure ventilation ventilator pressure in unaffected by patienteffort During proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally ad-justed ventilatory assist (NAVA) patient effort and ventilator pres-sure are directly related (Adapted from Reference 5)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases

DISCUSSIONThis study is the first RCT examining the physiologic and clinical outcomes of a protocol for PAV with load-adjustable gain factors employed from randomization to final extubation

The physiologic impact of PAV+ was a more marked reduc-tion in peak airway pressures and area under the inspiratory pressure curve (a measure of ventilator assistance) while achieving equivalent VTs indicating that patients on PAV+

DISCUSSIONThis study is the first RCT examining the physiologic and clinical outcomes of a protocol for PAV with load-adjustable gain factors employed from randomization to final extubation
compared with a protocol for PSV the most commonly used weaning mode Patients spent a median 6 days (3ndash12 d) on study protocol and an average of 18 plusmn 5 hoursd without need for ventilation with AC mode demonstrating that both pro-tocols could be used safely and effectively for the majority of the recovery period Patients on PSV met criteria for respira-tory distress prompting an increase in level of support more frequently than patients on PAV but patients met criteria for switching to AC mode with equal frequency between the two groups No patient experienced an adverse event as a physio-logic consequence of excessive work of breathing or instability
The physiologic impact of PAV+ was a more marked reduc-tion in peak airway pressures and area under the inspiratory pressure curve (a measure of ventilator assistance) while achieving equivalent VTs indicating that patients on PAV+

conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases
patient morbidity mortality ICU length of stay and cost to the healthcare system (2) When initial weaning attempts fail to liberate patients from MV ideally clinicians should choose

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)
Fig 2 Relationship between patient effort and ventilator pressureduring various ventilation modes During volume ventilation pa-tient effort and ventilator pressure are inversely related Duringpressure ventilation ventilator pressure in unaffected by patienteffort During proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally ad-justed ventilatory assist (NAVA) patient effort and ventilator pres-sure are directly related (Adapted from Reference 5)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases
patient morbidity mortality ICU length of stay and cost to the healthcare system (2) When initial weaning attempts fail to liberate patients from MV ideally clinicians should choose

conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)
Fig 2 Relationship between patient effort and ventilator pressureduring various ventilation modes During volume ventilation pa-tient effort and ventilator pressure are inversely related Duringpressure ventilation ventilator pressure in unaffected by patienteffort During proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally ad-justed ventilatory assist (NAVA) patient effort and ventilator pres-sure are directly related (Adapted from Reference 5)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning

at baseline four (17) immediately postrandomization and one patient (7) after further adjustment of ventilator settings according to the PSV protocol (Fig 2B) Adjusting for baseline differences patients in the PAV group tended to have a lower AI than patients in the PSV group immediately postrandom-ization but this did not reach statistical significance (adjusted difference ndash45 [95 CI ndash95 to 04] p = 007)
Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases

conventional ventilation The patient still has to generatesufficient flow to trigger the ventilator However as dis-cussed later conventional modes may force a larger tidalvolume than normal causing air trapping and thus increas-ing the number of missed triggers
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
NAVA accomplishes the same goals as PAV but uti-lizes measurement of the diaphragmatic EMG signal tocontrol gas delivery6 This is accomplished by the place-ment of a specifically designed nasogastric tube that has aseries of EMG electrodes near its distal end positionedacross the diaphragm As illustrated in Figure 1 support-ing ventilation based on the diaphragmatic EMG signalshould greatly improve the response of the ventilator andsynchrony since the signal recognized is high up on theneural pathway controlling ventilation7 What is set by theclinician is the pressure applied for each millivolt of EMGactivity Thus similar to PAV a portion of the ventilatoryeffort is proportionally provided by the ventilator and theremainder by the patient As EMG activity increases pres-sure is applied during the inspiratory phase and as thediaphragm relaxes airway pressure decreases Inspirationends at a specific percentage of the peak EMG activityContrary to PAV NAVA greatly improves triggering since
gas delivery begins when the diaphragm is simulated notas a result of flow in the airway Thus even in the pres-ence of severe air trapping or large system leaks trigger-ing is not compromised
PAV and NAVA Versus Traditional Gas Delivery
Figure 2 nicely illustrates the relationship between andthe patientrsquos effort or work of breathing and the ventilatorpressure during various ventilation modes1 During a spe-cific breath with all forms of volume ventilation there isan indirect relationship between patient effort (Pmus) andthe pressure applied by the ventilator Essentially the morework assumed by the patient the less work applied by theventilator This relationship creates difficult problems re-garding synchrony which can easily be illustrated with alung model with proper setting of inspiratory demand Ifdemand is high and the lung model tidal volume is greaterthan the ventilator set tidal volume no pressure abovebaseline will be applied to the lung
In pressure-targeted ventilation regardless of mode ven-tilator work or applied pressure should be independent ofPmus That is during a specific breath a constant pressureshould be applied to the airway during inspiration nomatter how much work or Pmus is generated by the patientOf course in patients with very high ventilatory demandpressure may not be sustained since the ventilator may notalways be able to meet patient flow demand
In PAV and NAVA there is a direct relationship be-tween the patientrsquos effort (Pmus) and ventilator pressure
Fig 1 Steps in the process of activating a ventilator breath Neu-rally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation modes are activatedand controlled by diaphragm excitation Proportional assist ven-tilation modes are activated by a change in airway pressure flowand volume (Adapted from Reference 6)
Fig 2 Relationship between patient effort and ventilator pressureduring various ventilation modes During volume ventilation pa-tient effort and ventilator pressure are inversely related Duringpressure ventilation ventilator pressure in unaffected by patienteffort During proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally ad-justed ventilatory assist (NAVA) patient effort and ventilator pres-sure are directly related (Adapted from Reference 5)

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases
patient morbidity mortality ICU length of stay and cost to the healthcare system (2) When initial weaning attempts fail to liberate patients from MV ideally clinicians should choose

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

relative to the PSV group (p lt 0001)PAV significantly reduced AI postrandomization (Fig 2A)
In total nine patients (18) had a high AI (gt 10 of breaths) on PSV or on AC mode at baseline No patients had a high AI on PAV In the PSV group six patients (26) had a high AI
at baseline four (17) immediately postrandomization and one patient (7) after further adjustment of ventilator settings according to the PSV protocol (Fig 2B) Adjusting for baseline differences patients in the PAV group tended to have a lower AI than patients in the PSV group immediately postrandom-ization but this did not reach statistical significance (adjusted difference ndash45 [95 CI ndash95 to 04] p = 007)
Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning

2O plus PSV of 5ndash6 cm
H2O or PAV of 10ndash20 gain respectively
Strategies to Enhance Protocol CompliancePrior to the start of this RCT the ventilation protocols were trialed and modified with input and collaboration from RRTs during an observational study of 15 patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases
patient morbidity mortality ICU length of stay and cost to the healthcare system (2) When initial weaning attempts fail to liberate patients from MV ideally clinicians should choose

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning

DISCUSSIONThis study is the first RCT examining the physiologic and clinical outcomes of a protocol for PAV with load-adjustable gain factors employed from randomization to final extubation

The physiologic impact of PAV+ was a more marked reduc-tion in peak airway pressures and area under the inspiratory pressure curve (a measure of ventilator assistance) while achieving equivalent VTs indicating that patients on PAV+

DISCUSSIONThis study is the first RCT examining the physiologic and clinical outcomes of a protocol for PAV with load-adjustable gain factors employed from randomization to final extubation
compared with a protocol for PSV the most commonly used weaning mode Patients spent a median 6 days (3ndash12 d) on study protocol and an average of 18 plusmn 5 hoursd without need for ventilation with AC mode demonstrating that both pro-tocols could be used safely and effectively for the majority of the recovery period Patients on PSV met criteria for respira-tory distress prompting an increase in level of support more frequently than patients on PAV but patients met criteria for switching to AC mode with equal frequency between the two groups No patient experienced an adverse event as a physio-logic consequence of excessive work of breathing or instability
The physiologic impact of PAV+ was a more marked reduc-tion in peak airway pressures and area under the inspiratory pressure curve (a measure of ventilator assistance) while achieving equivalent VTs indicating that patients on PAV+

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases
patient morbidity mortality ICU length of stay and cost to the healthcare system (2) When initial weaning attempts fail to liberate patients from MV ideally clinicians should choose

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

In total nine patients (18) had a high AI (gt 10 of breaths) on PSV or on AC mode at baseline No patients had a high AI on PAV In the PSV group six patients (26) had a high AI
at baseline four (17) immediately postrandomization and one patient (7) after further adjustment of ventilator settings according to the PSV protocol (Fig 2B) Adjusting for baseline differences patients in the PAV group tended to have a lower AI than patients in the PSV group immediately postrandom-ization but this did not reach statistical significance (adjusted difference ndash45 [95 CI ndash95 to 04] p = 007)
Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Objectives Despite protocols incorporating spontaneous breath-ing trials 31 of ICU patients experience difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation Nonfatiguing modes such as pressure support ventilation are recommended Proportional assist ventilation provides assistance in proportion to patient effort which may optimize weaning However it is not known how proportional assist ventilation performs relative to pressure sup-port ventilation over a prolonged period in the complex ICU set-ting The purpose of this study was to compare the physiologic and clinical performance (failure rate) safety and feasibility of protocols using daily spontaneous breathing trial plus pressure support ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation until ven-tilation discontinuationDesign Single-center unblinded pilot randomized controlled trialSetting Medical-surgical ICU of a tertiary-care hospitalPatients Adult patients intubated greater than 36 hours were ran-domized if they met eligibility criteria for partial ventilatory support
tolerated pressure support ventilation greater than or equal to 30 minutes and either failed or did not meet criteria for a sponta-neous breathing trialInterventions Patients were randomized to the pressure support ventilation or proportional assist ventilation protocol (PAV+ Puri-tan Bennett 840 Covidien Boulder CO) Both protocols used progressive decreases in level of assistance as tolerated coupled with daily assessment for spontaneous breathing trialsMeasurements and Main Results Of 54 patients randomized outcome data are available for 50 patients 27 were randomized to receive proportional assist ventilation and 23 to receive pres-sure support ventilation There were no adverse events linked to the study interventions and protocol violations were infrequent Recruitment was slower than projected (13 patients per month) The median (interquartile range) time from randomization to suc-cessful extubation was 39 days (28ndash84 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 49 days (29ndash263 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 039) Time to live ICU discharge was 73 days (52ndash114 d) on proportional assist ventilation versus 124 days (75ndash308 d) on pressure support ventilation (p = 003)Conclusion This pilot study demonstrates the utility safety and feasibility of the weaning protocols and provides important infor-mation to guide the design of a future randomized controlled trial comparing weaning from mechanical ventilation on pressure sup-port ventilation versus proportional assist ventilation (Crit Care Med 2016 XX00ndash00)Key Words assisted mechanical ventilation asynchrony index proportional assist ventilation respiratory muscles ventilator weaning
Difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) affects 31 (range 26ndash42) of mechanically ventilated patients (1) and increases

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

B635) documenting compliance with the daily screening for SBT noncompletion of either the CPAP screening test or SBT occurred on 5 of 292 of patient study days (17) and this violation involved two patients in each study arm The second audit examining for nine different potential deviations found complete adherence to study protocol on 254 of 292 of patient study days (900) There were no adverse events (pneumo-thorax arrhythmia or death) resulting from any of the study interventions
Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

relative to the PSV group (p lt 0001)PAV significantly reduced AI postrandomization (Fig 2A)
In total nine patients (18) had a high AI (gt 10 of breaths) on PSV or on AC mode at baseline No patients had a high AI on PAV In the PSV group six patients (26) had a high AI
at baseline four (17) immediately postrandomization and one patient (7) after further adjustment of ventilator settings according to the PSV protocol (Fig 2B) Adjusting for baseline differences patients in the PAV group tended to have a lower AI than patients in the PSV group immediately postrandom-ization but this did not reach statistical significance (adjusted difference ndash45 [95 CI ndash95 to 04] p = 007)
Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

B635) documenting compliance with the daily screening for SBT noncompletion of either the CPAP screening test or SBT occurred on 5 of 292 of patient study days (17) and this violation involved two patients in each study arm The second audit examining for nine different potential deviations found complete adherence to study protocol on 254 of 292 of patient study days (900) There were no adverse events (pneumo-thorax arrhythmia or death) resulting from any of the study interventions
Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

B635) documenting compliance with the daily screening for SBT noncompletion of either the CPAP screening test or SBT occurred on 5 of 292 of patient study days (17) and this violation involved two patients in each study arm The second audit examining for nine different potential deviations found complete adherence to study protocol on 254 of 292 of patient study days (900) There were no adverse events (pneumo-thorax arrhythmia or death) resulting from any of the study interventions
Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

In total nine patients (18) had a high AI (gt 10 of breaths) on PSV or on AC mode at baseline No patients had a high AI on PAV In the PSV group six patients (26) had a high AI
at baseline four (17) immediately postrandomization and one patient (7) after further adjustment of ventilator settings according to the PSV protocol (Fig 2B) Adjusting for baseline differences patients in the PAV group tended to have a lower AI than patients in the PSV group immediately postrandom-ization but this did not reach statistical significance (adjusted difference ndash45 [95 CI ndash95 to 04] p = 007)
Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

B635) documenting compliance with the daily screening for SBT noncompletion of either the CPAP screening test or SBT occurred on 5 of 292 of patient study days (17) and this violation involved two patients in each study arm The second audit examining for nine different potential deviations found complete adherence to study protocol on 254 of 292 of patient study days (900) There were no adverse events (pneumo-thorax arrhythmia or death) resulting from any of the study interventions
Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

The physiologic impact of PAV+ was a more marked reduc-tion in peak airway pressures and area under the inspiratory pressure curve (a measure of ventilator assistance) while achieving equivalent VTs indicating that patients on PAV+

DISCUSSIONThis study is the first RCT examining the physiologic and clinical outcomes of a protocol for PAV with load-adjustable gain factors employed from randomization to final extubation
compared with a protocol for PSV the most commonly used weaning mode Patients spent a median 6 days (3ndash12 d) on study protocol and an average of 18 plusmn 5 hoursd without need for ventilation with AC mode demonstrating that both pro-tocols could be used safely and effectively for the majority of the recovery period Patients on PSV met criteria for respira-tory distress prompting an increase in level of support more frequently than patients on PAV but patients met criteria for switching to AC mode with equal frequency between the two groups No patient experienced an adverse event as a physio-logic consequence of excessive work of breathing or instability
The physiologic impact of PAV+ was a more marked reduc-tion in peak airway pressures and area under the inspiratory pressure curve (a measure of ventilator assistance) while achieving equivalent VTs indicating that patients on PAV+

B635) documenting compliance with the daily screening for SBT noncompletion of either the CPAP screening test or SBT occurred on 5 of 292 of patient study days (17) and this violation involved two patients in each study arm The second audit examining for nine different potential deviations found complete adherence to study protocol on 254 of 292 of patient study days (900) There were no adverse events (pneumo-thorax arrhythmia or death) resulting from any of the study interventions
Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

B635) documenting compliance with the daily screening for SBT noncompletion of either the CPAP screening test or SBT occurred on 5 of 292 of patient study days (17) and this violation involved two patients in each study arm The second audit examining for nine different potential deviations found complete adherence to study protocol on 254 of 292 of patient study days (900) There were no adverse events (pneumo-thorax arrhythmia or death) resulting from any of the study interventions
Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

ventilation protocols In both protocols registered respiratory therapists (RRTs) used stepwise reductions in level of sup-port to determine the lowest level tolerated in order to avoid both overassistance and respiratory muscle fatigue If respi-ratory distress developed according to the predefined criteria (Supplemental Table 1 Supplemental Digital Content 1 httplinkslwwcomCCMB636) the level of support was increased If distress or respiratory acidosis was unresolved despite maximum levels of support patients were switch to assistcontrol (AC) mode and reassessed daily to resume PAV or PSV Patients in the PAV group could be ventilated using PAV+ or AC only and patients in the PSV group could be ventilated using PSV or AC only In both arms weaning was
conducted by the RRTs with daily screening and assessment for SBTs (Supplemental Fig 3 Supplemental Digital Content 4 httplinkslwwcomCCMB635) Level of support was not used as an indicator of readiness to wean The RSBI was con-ducted on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) set at the prior level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) SBTs were conducted on PEEP of 5 cm H

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

In total nine patients (18) had a high AI (gt 10 of breaths) on PSV or on AC mode at baseline No patients had a high AI on PAV In the PSV group six patients (26) had a high AI

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients

Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)

B635) documenting compliance with the daily screening for SBT noncompletion of either the CPAP screening test or SBT occurred on 5 of 292 of patient study days (17) and this violation involved two patients in each study arm The second audit examining for nine different potential deviations found complete adherence to study protocol on 254 of 292 of patient study days (900) There were no adverse events (pneumo-thorax arrhythmia or death) resulting from any of the study interventions
Physiologic Response to Ventilation ProtocolsRecordings of flow and airway pressure were available for analysis for all 50 patients prerandomization 49 patients immediately (median 1 interquartile range [IQR] 0ndash15 hr) postrandomization and for 26 patients during subsequent days (median 27 IQR 20ndash70-hr postrandomization) Approximately 15000 breaths in 125 recordings were analyzed Table 2 compares the respiratory parameters in both groups pre- and postrandomization There were no statistically sig-nificant differences between the PAV and PSV groups at base-line prerandomization (p values not shown) In the PAV group there was a significant decrease in peak airway pressure delta pressure (measured as peak airway opening pressure minus the PEEP) and area under the inspiratory pressure curve immediately postrandomization and an increase in the per-cent of total cycle time spent in inspiration (TiTtot) whereas there were no significant differences immediately postran-domization in the PSV group The second measurement of postrandomization respiratory parameters revealed signifi-cant decreases in peak airway pressure and delta pressure in both PAV and PSV groups Adjusting for baseline measure-ments as a covariate the PAV group received 7 cm H2

In total nine patients (18) had a high AI (gt 10 of breaths) on PSV or on AC mode at baseline No patients had a high AI on PAV In the PSV group six patients (26) had a high AI
at baseline four (17) immediately postrandomization and one patient (7) after further adjustment of ventilator settings according to the PSV protocol (Fig 2B) Adjusting for baseline differences patients in the PAV group tended to have a lower AI than patients in the PSV group immediately postrandom-ization but this did not reach statistical significance (adjusted difference ndash45 [95 CI ndash95 to 04] p = 007)
Clinical OutcomesTable 3 shows the results for the main clinical endpoints Weaning duration and time to successful SBT did not dif-fer significantly among survivors between the groups Among ICU survivors median time to ICU discharge was shorter in the group randomized to PAV 73 days (IQR 52ndash114 d) ver-sus 124 days (IQR 75ndash308 d) in the PSV group (p = 003) Kaplan-Meier plots of the proportion of at-risk patients achiev-ing successful extubation and live ICU discharge are shown in Figure 3 A and B No difference was found for hospital length of stay ICU mortality or hospital mortality Four patients (15) in the PAV group and three patients (13) in the PSV group died in ICU (respiratory rate [RR] of PAV 114 95 CI 028 to 46 p = 086) Overall in-hospital mortality was nine patients (33) in the PAV group and six patients (26) in the PSV group (RR of PAV 128 95 CI 054 to 31 p = 058)
Cointerventions Sedating MedicationsTable 4 compares the use of medications that may prolong weaning (by causing sedation or neuromuscular weakness) in the two groups pre- and postrandomization Type and dose of sedative medication were highly variable among individual patients and therefore we analyzed pre- and postrandomiza-tion changes to determine the impact of the ventilation pro-tocol on sedative use within each patient In the PAV group benzodiazepine narcotic and propofol use measured as both cumulative dose and average daily dose all decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization as did neuromuscular blocker use In the PSV group average daily dose of lorazepam equiva-lent and average daily dose of propofol decreased signifi-cantly postrandomization whereas the proportion of patients
