1 Aspiration of Airway Dead Space A New Method to Enhance CO 2 Elimination EDOARDO DE ROBERTIS, SIGURDUR E SIGURDSSON, BJÖRN DREFELDT, and BJÖRN JONSON Departments of Clinical Physiology and Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, University Hospital of Lund, Lund, Sweden; and Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, University Federico II, Naples, Italy Alveolar ventilation and CO 2 elimination during mechanical ventilation can be enhanced by reducing dead-space ventilation Aspiration of gas from the dead space (ASPIDS) is a new principle, according to which gas rich in CO 2 during late expiration is aspirated through a channel ending at the distal end of the tracheal tube Simultaneously, fresh gas injected into the inspiratory line fills the airway down to the same site We hypothesized that ASPIDS would allow a reduction of tidal volume (VT) and airway pressure (Paw) To test our hypothesis we studied six anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated pigs (24 4 kg) The intention was to decrease VT while keeping Pa CO2 constant by using ASPIDS VT was reduced by decreasing the minute ventilation ( VE) in two steps, of 18 L/min ( VE 18) and 22 L/min ( VE 22), respectively, and by increasing respiratory rate (RR) from 20 to 46 breaths/min At ASPIDS, peak Paw was reduced by 35% at VE 18 and at VE 22 (p 0001), and by 20% at an RR of 46 (p 001) Pa CO2 was maintained or reduced at ASPIDS No intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure developed Arterial blood pressure and heart rate were unaffected The results show that ASPIDS allows a reduction in VT and Paw while Pa CO2 is kept constant ASPIDS does not lead to problems associated with jet streams of gas or with gas humidification, and can be developed as a safe technique De Robertis E, Sigurdsson SE, Drefeldt B, Jonson B Aspiration of airway dead space: a new method to enhance CO 2 elimination AM J RESPIR CRIT CARE MED 1999;159: Inadequate alveolar ventilation is a common problem in critical lung disease Efforts to avoid CO 2 retention during mechanical ventilation may lead to high tidal volumes and airway pressures, which may cause additional lung damage Methods directed at reducing tidal volume (VT) and airway pressure (Paw) are extracorporeal CO 2 removal, high-frequency ventilation, partial liquid ventilation, and permissive hypercapnia So far, none of these methods has proved to be of clinical benefit Dead-space ventilation may be reduced by expiratory flushing of airways (1) or tracheal gas insufflation (2 4) By increasing alveolar ventilation, these methods may increase CO 2 clearance However, in patients with an expiratory flow continuing until the end of expiration, the positive effect of these methods is limited, since the insufflated gas will be mixed with CO 2 in alveolar gas Another undesired effect is that tracheal gas insufflation during expiration increases Paw in a way that is difficult to control and which may induce or amplify dynamic hyperinflation Such an effect could also counteract the goal of reducing high airway pressures, which may lead to barotrauma and hemodynamic compromise (5) Moreover, (Received in original form December 30, 1997 and in revised form August 17, 1998) Supported by the Swedish Institute, grant from the Swedish Medical Research Council, the Swedish Heart Lung Foundation, and the Medical Faculty of Lund, Sweden Correspondence and requests for reprints should be addressed to Björn Jonson, Department of Clinical Physiology, Lund University Hospital, S Lund, Sweden bjornjonson@klinfysluse Am J Respir Crit Care Med Vol 159 pp , 1999 Internet address: wwwatsjournalsorg drying of airway secretions and damage to the airway mucosa are problems associated with tracheal gas insufflation (6) An alternative to tracheal gas insufflation would be to aspirate dead-space gas from the trachea (ASPIDS) and simultaneously replace it with new gas through the ordinary inspiratory tubing This would permit gas in the ventilator tubing, Y-piece, filter, and tracheal tube to be aspirated from the tip of the tracheal tube during the late part of expiration and be replaced with fresh gas The resulting reduction in volume of airway dead-space gas that returns to the alveoli during inspiration will increase alveolar ventilation and thereby allow the use of a smaller VT and a lower Paw The aim of this study was to present a system for ASPIDS, to investigate its technical feasibility, and to evaluate the extent to which VT could be reduced in an animal model involving healthy pigs METHODS The study was done with six domestic pigs (Swedish land race) weighing kg Permission for the study was given by the Ethics Board of Animal Research of the University of Lund Animals were fasted overnight but allowed free access to water At 30 min before induction of anesthesia, the pigs were premedicated with azaperon (Stresnil; Janssen, Beerse, Belgium) 6 mg/kg intramuscularly Anesthesia was induced with sodium pentothal (Pentothal; Abbott, North Chicago, IL) 125 mg/kg intravenously and was maintained by the continuous infusion of fentanyl (Leptanal; Janssen) 75 g/kg/h, pancuronium bromide (Pavulon; Organon Teknika, Boxtel, The Netherlands) 04 mg/kg/h, and midazolam (Dormicum; Hoffmann-La Roche, Basel, Switzerland) 025 mg/kg/h A catheter was inserted in the left carotid artery for blood sampling and monitoring of mean arterial blood pressure ( Pa) and heart rate (HR) Body temperature was kept constant by covering the ani-

Mallinckrodt) with an ID of 7 mm was introduced orally In addition to the ordinary lumen, this cuffed tube has two extra channels that open at 10 mm and 60 mm from the distal end of the tube The tube cuff was inflated and frequently tested to avoid air leakage A moisture exchanger, a bacterial/ viral filter (Light-S Filter; Humid-Vent, Gibeck, Sweden), and a connector were used The total volume of the filter, the connector, and the tracheal tube was 92 ml Volume-controlled ventilation was provided with a ServoVentilator 900 C (Siemens-Elema AB, Sweden) in a square inspiratory flow pattern at a respiratory rate (RR) of 20 breaths/min, an inspiratory time of 25% of the respiratory cycle, and a postinspiratory pause of 5% of the cycle Expiratory CO 2 concentration was measured with a model 930 CO 2 analyzer (Siemens-Elema AB) Minute ventilation ( E) was adjusted to give an arterial carbon dioxide concentration (Pa CO2 ) of 5 to 55 kpa (37 to 41 mm Hg) The positive end expiratory pressure was 4 cm H 2 O and the inspiratory oxygen fraction (FI O2 ) was 021 Signals from the ventilator representing Paw in the expiratory line and the inspiratory and expiratory flow were fed together with the CO 2 signal to an IBM-compatible personal computer and converted to digital format at 50 samples per second Intrinsic positive end expiratory pressure (PEEPi) was calculated as the difference between Paw measured at the end of expiration and after an end-expiratory pause of 3 s The ASPIDS System The ASPIDS system comprises the Servo Ventilator 900C, an electronic control unit, and two solenoid valves that connect the airway to a vacuum source and to a source for replacement of the aspirated dead-space gas (Figure 1) Through use of the control unit, the operator sets the moments during expiration at which the ASPIDS valves should open and close When the valves open, gas is aspirated from the auxiliary port inside the tracheal tube at 60 mm from its tip The vacuum source consists of a membrane pump (MP-2; Alitea, Sweden) with a regulated power supply to control the subatmospheric pressure, and a 3-L damping reservoir By modifying the duration of the period of aspiration and the subatmospheric pressure, the operator controls the volume of gas aspirated per breath Simultaneously with gas aspiration, fresh gas is injected into the inspiratory line This gas is tapped from a second outlet of the gas mixer, which controls the oxygen fraction of inspired gas; the gas passes a pressure-regulating valve that allows adjustment of the volume of injected gas during the period when the valve is open The gas is injected into the inspiratory line upstream of an optional humidifier that was not used in the present study A flap valve in the inspiratory line serves as a safety measure against accidental development of a negative pressure in the circuit The baseline RR was 20 breaths/min At this frequency the AS- PIDS pulse started at 051 s after onset of expiration and lasted 09 s (Figure 2) The volumes of gas injected and aspirated were measured by first activating the injection valve and reading the increase in expired VT on the digital ventilator display The aspiration system was then activated and the change in VT was read again During each ASPIDS pulse, about 140 ml of gas was aspirated, while 160 ml of gas was injected This implies that gas was slightly oversupplied Because the expiratory valve is open, this does not affect patient ventilation At the higher RR studied (46 breaths/min), the timing of the ASPIDS pulse was adjusted to cover the same relative period during expiration The gas leaving the expiratory port of the ServoVentilator and the gas from the suction pump were fed to a laboratory flow meter (L5PVC; H Wohlgroth & Co, Zürich, Switzerland) via damping and mixing bags With this system, the meter measured the total expired E The fraction of CO 2 in the mixed expired gas was measured with a blood gas analyzer (ABL 505; Radiometer, Copenhagen, Denmark) The volume of CO 2 eliminated per minute ( CO 2 ), was determined by multiplying the total expiratory E by the expired fraction of CO 2 As a first approximation, we estimated that ASPIDS would fully clear the volume of the connecting tubes of CO 2 (ie, 92 ml per breath) In theory, at 20 breaths/min this would lead to a reduced requirement for E of ml or 18 L/min However, in preliminary tests we showed that ASPIDS cleared an additional volume of 20 ml per breath This would imply that E during ASPIDS might be reduced by 22 L/min without compromising CO 2 elimination
3 730 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF RESPIRATORY AND CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE VOL Figure 2 Tracings of Paw and flow rate from a representative animal at 20 breaths/min Curves representing ASPIDS at a E reduced by 22 L/min are superimposed over those for baseline ventilation The former curves are interrupted The dotted lines indicate when, at ASPIDS, the aspiration and injection valves open (on) and close (off) Protocol Our primary hypothesis was that a constant Pa CO2 could be maintained while VT was reduced by a volume equal to the dead-space volume cleared by ASPIDS At a frequency of 20 breaths/min we reduced E by 18 L/min ( E 18) and by 22 L/min ( E 22) A secondary issue tested was that a further benefit of ASPIDS might be obtained by increasing the RR at a constant E Such settings lead to smaller tidal volumes and lower pressures, but also to increased deadspace ventilation We hypothesized that the latter increase could be balanced by the use of ASPIDS It was estimated that 46 breaths/min was the highest RR that would be compatible with an unaltered CO 2 elimination given the total airway dead-space volume in pigs and the fraction thereof that might be cleared with ASPIDS The reduction in E by 18 and 22 L, and the increase in RR to 46 breaths/min, were studied in random order Before and after each period of application of ASPIDS, a measurement was made under baseline conditions To reach a steady state, 20 min were allowed to pass after changing the mode of ventilation before data collection was begun (7) Statistical Analysis All data are expressed as mean SD The two-tailed Student s t test was used to compare findings from different study periods Differences were considered significant at p 001 RESULTS Pa, HR, and body temperature remained stable under all conditions (Table 1) The results of baseline studies before and after each period of ASPIDS showed no significant differences Therefore, the data obtained during ASPIDS were compared only with those from the baseline study preceding the ASPIDS period Figure 2 shows typical pressure and flow patterns at baseline ventilation and with ASPIDS In pressure tracings, trivial oscillations were observed at the moments when ASPIDS was switched on and off (Figure 2) The set PEEP level was maintained During the ASPIDS pulse a slight increase in expiratory flow was observed This increase was caused by the surplus of gas injected over the gas aspirated No PEEPi developed at ASPIDS, not even at an RR of 46 breaths/min (Table 2) At each of the ASPIDS settings, the reduction in VT led to a substantial decrease in peak airway pressure (Paw peak ) and postinspiratory airway plateau pressure (Paw plat ) (Table 2) At ASPIDS with E 18, Pa CO2 decreased, indicating hyperventilation A concomitant increase in CO 2 may indicate that the washout of CO 2 to a new stable level was not completely achieved (7) At E 22, nonsignificant changes in Pa CO2 and CO 2 indicated that an isocapnic condition was maintained When RR was increased to 46 breaths/min, ASPIDS induced a decrease in Pa CO2, indicating slight hyperventilation DISCUSSION Tracheal gas insufflation may enhance CO 2 elimination in different ways, depending on when the gas is insufflated during the breathing cycle (4, 8, 9) Tracheal gas insufflation during expiration will lead to washout of CO 2 contained in the upper airway dead space ASPIDS may be regarded as a development of the latter principle, with the aim of reducing or eliminating problems associated with tracheal gas insufflation In accordance with our hypothesis, ASPIDS allowed a substantial reduction in VT at preserved isocapnic conditions Accordingly, airway pressures were reduced The results at E 18 and E 22 verified findings in pilot studies that ASPIDS would clear CO 2 from a space about 20 ml larger than the dead space measured from the Y-piece to the tip of the tracheal tube of the ventilator circuit used in our study It is known that flow causes turbulence in the Y-piece and adjacent tubes A mixing of inspired and expired gas will occur in the tubes This phenomenon contributes a volume of about 24 ml to the dead space at an RR of 10 breaths/min (11) During the ASPIDS pulse the gas injected into the inspiratory line will clear the inspiratory tubing of the amount of CO 2 that was mixed into the inspiratory line through turbulence during the preceding expiration The surplus of the injected gas over the aspirated gas will simultaneously push the CO 2 -rich ex- TABLE 1 HEMODYNAMIC VARIABLES Constant RR Constant E E 18 L/min E 22 L/min RR 46 Breaths/min Baseline ASPIDS Baseline ASPIDS Baseline ASPIDS HR, beats/min Pa, mm Hg T, C Definition of abbreviations: HR heart rate; Pa mean arterial blood pressure; RR respiratory rate; T body temperature; E minute ventilation No significant changes were observed between baseline and ASPIDS periods

the inspired gas of CO 2 from the expired gas The finding that ASPIDS has an effect beyond clearing the space from the Y-piece to the end of the tracheal tube is accordingly explained, in part by the surplus of injected gas volume over aspirated gas volume When RR was adjusted to 46 breaths/min without changing E, Paw, and particularly the plateau pressure, was efficiently reduced A strategy that remains to be explored is to combine a decrease in E with an increase in RR In the present study, PEEPi was nearly zero at an RR of 46 This implies that expiratory flow had ceased before the succeeding inspiration PEEPi is associated with an expiratory flow that continues until the end of expiration In order to remain efficient, the ASPIDS system must then clear both the volumes of the upper dead space and the volume of gas coming from deeper airways during the ASPIDS pulse This pulse should also continue until the very end of expiration The AS- PIDS system has a capacity to produce pulses of aspiration and injection with flow rates from two to three times greater than that used in this study The pulses can be set to begin and end at any time during expiration In theory, ASPIDS would function even in the presence of PEEPi However, this remains to be tested In ASPIDS, the extra volume of gas delivered has the same composition as the gas used for basal ventilation It may be humidified by an ordinary humidifier in the inspiratory line It does not cause any jet effects in the airway As expected, the system did not interfere to any extent with inspiration from the ventilator, and did not interfere significantly with the expiratory pressure During ASPIDS, the built-in monitoring and alarm systems of the ventilator are functioning as they do during basal ventilation, except that the surplus of injected gas over aspirated gas will appear in the measurements of expired gas The present system should be regarded as an experimental system to be used only with constant surveillance by a wellinformed operator It is not suitable for assisted ventilation Further safety aspects should be considered for routine clinical use of ASPIDS Should the gas-injection side of the AS- PIDS system be accidentally blocked, the flap valve opens, which eliminates the risk for negative airway pressure Air will then enter the inspiratory line and reduce the FI O2 of the inspired gas To eliminate this risk, a spacer that is continuously flushed with new respiratory gas may be placed between the safety valve and the room air Systems providing alarm and automatic stopping of the ASPIDS system, on the basis of flow sensors in the aspiration and injection lines, may also be warranted A risk with a system for providing ASPIDS is that a subatmospheric intrapulmonary pressure may develop if the tracheal tube is blocked above the port for aspiration This would hinder gas from entering the lung but leave the aspiration port open If a grave subatmospheric airway pressure is then to be avoided, the ASPIDS system must immediately be brought to a halt This can be achieved with systems using the combined information contained in the signals from the inspiratory flow and Paw sensors In addition, one may continuously measure the intratracheal pressure The tracheal tube that we use has a further channel that ends at its tip, distal to the port that is used for aspiration This channel can be connected to a pressure transducer for detection of a negative tracheal pressure and automatic interruption of ASPIDS We have shown that ASPIDS is technically feasible and allows an important decrease in VT and airway pressures It does not impede expiration The injected gas passes through the normal inspiratory line and a humidifier These advantages over known systems for tracheal gas injection merit tests of ASPIDS in patients who are particularly difficult to ventilate because of critical lung disease Benefits may be achieved in terms of lower tidal volumes and peak pressures, or in terms of improved CO 2 elimination In the respiratory distress syndrome, one may wish to increase PEEP without drastically increasing peak pressures or Pa CO2 An improved efficiency of ventilation provided by ASPIDS may make this possible Additionally, with supported ventilation, ASPIDS, by reducing dead-space ventilation, may reduce the need for total ventilation and thereby the work of breathing Acknowledgment : The authors are grateful to Gerth-Inge Jönsson for technical assistance Johan Thörne, Sten Blomquist, and Peter L Dahm
