No disclosures Why I Selected These Studies…

  • High quality studies
  • They answer a commonly

encountered clinical question

  • They move care from anecdote to

evidence Question 1: What is the best way to ventilate patients with moderate to severe ARDS?

2 RCTS Evaluate High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation in ARDS

  • OSCAR – NEJM Feb 2013, Young et al

– Multicenter RCT: 29 Centers, UK – Enrolled 795 patients, P/F < 200 for >2 days – Randomized to Low Tidal Volume vs. HFOV (R100)

  • OSCILLATE Trial - NEJM Feb 2013, Ferguson et al

– Multicenter RCT: 39 Centers, 5 Countries – Planned to enroll 1200 (stopped at 548) – Entry: new-onset ARDS with P/F < 200 – Randomized to Low Tidal Volume vs. HFOV (3100B)

Question 2: Should I use low-tidal volume ventilation for all patients?

Background

  • Strong evidence supports the use of lung-

protective ventilation for patients with ARDS (NEJM 2000)

  • HOWEVER, could patients benefit from lung

protective ventilation if they are at risk for ARDS? Might they benefit even if there is no clear risk factor for ARDS?

Neto et al JAMA Oct 24/31, 2012- Vol 308, No 165

  • Study Design

– Meta-Analysis

  • 20 studies with a total of 2822 patients
  • Studies performed in the OR, MICU, SICU, NICU
  • Primary reason for intubation was schedule surgery
  • Included 15 RCTs, 5 were cross-sectional or cohort studies
  • Average Tidal Volume

– Protective 6.45 ml/kg vs. Conventional 10.60 ml/kg (P<0.001)

  • Follow: 3hrs->10 days
  • Outcomes: Lung Injury, Mortality, Pulmonary Infection,

Atelectasis

Question 2: Should I use low-tidal volume ventilation for all patients? Answer: Yes, unless there is a compelling contraindication Question 3: Should I rush to start TPN on my patient who cannot tolerate enteral feeds?

  • Study Design

– Randomized Multicenter Trial in Belgium – 4600 patients at nutritional risk who were not chronically malnourished

  • (majority were surgical patients)

– Randomized to early (<48 h) vs. late ( 1 wk) TPN to meet nutritional needs in at risk patients – Compared guidelines in Europe (early) vs. N. America (late)

contraindications to early enteral nutrition who were expected to be in the ICU > 2days

  • Randomized to standard practice vs. TPN w/in

24 hours of ICU admission

  • Super Early TPN

Question 3:

Should I start TPN on my patient who can’t tolerate enteral feeds? Answer: No need to provide super early or early TPN, but try to feed enterally as soon as possible Question 4: In actively bleeding patients, what is a reasonable transfusion threshold?

Background

  • 1999 NEJM TRICC trial

– Liberal Transfusion

  • Trigger Hb of 10 g/dl
  • Goal Hb 10-12 g/dl

– Restrictive Transfusion

  • Trigger Hb 7 g/dl
  • Goal Hb 7-9 g/dl
  • These patients were euvolemic
  • ACTIVELY BLEEDING PATIENTS WERE EXCLUDED
  • What do we do with actively bleeding patients?

5/31/2013 7

  • RCT single center in Spain
  • Enrolled 921 patients with UGIB
  • Randomized to:

– Transfusion trigger of Hb 7 g/dl vs. 9 g/dl – Stratified by presence of cirrhosis

  • Primary outcome was 45 day survival
  • Secondary outcomes: further bleeding

Question 4: In actively bleeding patients, what is a reasonable transfusion threshold? Answer: FOR UPPER GIB Utilize a threshold of Hb < 7

Based on these 6 papers…

  • HFOV should be eliminated from the

treatment algorithm for moderate-severe ARDS

  • Lung protective ventilation can be widely

employed in the ICU

  • Initiation of TPN in patients who are at

nutritional risk can be “delayed”

  • In actively bleeding patients with UGIB a

transfusion trigger of Hb < 7 can be used
