Abstrakt: Asymmetrical distribution of acute lung injury in mechanically ventilated patients can result in a heterogeneity of gas distribution between different regions, potentially worsening ventilation-perfusion matching. Furthermore, overdistension of healthier, more compliant lung regions can lead to barotrauma and limit the effect of increased PEEP on lung recruitment. We propose a System for Asymmetric Flow Regulation (SAFR) which, combined with a novel double lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) may offer individualized lung ventilation to the left and right lungs, better matching each lung's mechanics and pathophysiology. In this preclinical experimental model, the performance of SAFR on gas distribution in a two-lung simulation system was tested. Our results indicate that SAFR may be a technically feasible and potentially clinically useful although further research is warranted.
Competing Interests: IB and GM report patent proposal for SAFR (PCT Application No. PCT/US21/58789). IB, GM, OW and OE received the UCLA Innovation Fund support for the development of SAFR. IB also reports research funding from Theravance, Viatris and Aerogen and consulting for Astra Zeneca, Grifols, Inhibrx, Takeda, Sanofi, Verona Pharam, none related to this work. GM, OE, OW and NH have no additional conflicts to report.
