Effects of a Clinical Trial on Mechanical Ventilation Practices in Patients with Acute Lung Injury
Open accessAbstract
Rationale: In a clinical trial by the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network (ARDSNet), mechanical ventilation with tidal volumes of 6 ml/kg decreased mortality from acute lung injury. However, interpretations of these results generated controversy and it was unclear if this trial would change usual-care practices. Objectives: First, to determine if clinical practices at ARDSNet hospitals changed after the tidal volume trial. Second, to determine if tidal volume and plateau pressure (Pplat) within 48 hours before randomization affected hospital mortality in patients subsequently managed with 6 ml/kg predicted body weight (PBW). Methods: We used preenrollment data from 2,451 patients enrolled in six trials (1996–2005) to describe changes in tidal volume over time. We used logistic regression to determine if preenrollment tidal volume or Pplat affected mortality. Measurements and Main Results: Median preenrollment tidal volume decreased from 10.3 ml/kg PBW (range, 4.3–17.1) during the tidal volume trial (1996–1999) to 7.3 ml/kg PBW (range, 3.9–16.2) after its completion (P < 0.001). Preenrollment tidal volume was not associated with mortality (P = 0.566). The odds of death increased multiplicatively with each cm H2O of preenrollment Pplat (P < 0.001) (e.g., the odds of death was 1.37 times greater when preenrollment Pplat increased by 10 cm H2O). Conclusions: Physicians used lower tidal volumes after publication of the tidal volume trial. Preenrollment Pplat was strongly associated with mortality, and may reflect disease severity independent of tidal volume. Pplat measured early in the course of acute lung injury, after accounting for tidal volume, is a respiratory system–specific value with strong prognostic significance.

“A retrospective study suggested that tidal volumes should be lowered even with plateau pressures ≤ 30 cm H2O [431] because lower plateau pressures were associated with reduced hospital mortality [432].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
