CUSP for Mechanically Ventilated Patients

October 7, 2014

What are they?

Why do they matter?

Disclosures

Grant funding from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Honoraria from Premier Healthcare Alliance for lectures on VAP surveillance

Ventilator-associated pneumonia

Affects ~5-10% of ventilated patients

Increases ICU length of stay by ~4-7 days

Increases hospital length of stay by ~14 days

Crude mortality rate 30-50%

Attributable mortality 8-12%

Adds ~$10-50,000 to cost of hospital stay

The Upshot

VAP rates are unreliable outcomes

VAE rates likely reliable but still very new. Unclear how best practices will impact them.

If we want to know whether a prevention measure really works or not, we have to look at objective outcomes such as:

duration of mechanical ventilation

ICU length-of-stay

hospital length-of-stay

mortality

Minimize sedationGreater sedation associated with longer ventilator and ICU stays. Increases risk for pneumonia and other infections.

RCT data from Denmark showing that vented patients can be adequately managed with NO sedation

Spontaneous awakening trials associated with less overall sedative use and earlier extubation

NEJM 1996;335:1864-9 NEJM 2000;342:1471-7Lancet 2008;371:126-134 Lancet 2010;375:475-80

Paired daily sedative interruptions and spontaneous breathing trials

Spontaneous breathing trials associated with earlier extubation

Patients are more likely to pass spontaneous breathing trials if they’re awake for the trial

RCT data showing that pairing SATs with SBTs speeds extubation by ~3 days and shortens ICU and hospital LOS by ~4 days compared to SBTs alone

Lancet 2008;371:126-134NEJM 1996;335:1864-9

Wake Up and Breathe

Early mobility – Wake Up & Walk!

Early mobilization assocaited with less time to extubation and shorter ICU stays

May also help prevent atelectasis & delirium

As with improved sedative management and weaning protocols, less time on vent means less time at risk for VAEs

Low tidal volume ventilation

Higher tidal volumes associated with acute lung injury

Randomized controlled trial data showing that lower tidal volumes protect against acute lung injury in patients without ARDS and lower mortality rates in patients with ARDS

Summary

VAP diagnosis is subjective and non-specific

Inconsistent association between VAP and patient outcomes

Many interventions purportedly lower VAP rates but no impact on patient outcomes: “the VAP Prevention Paradox”.

Makes VAP an unreliable outcome

VAEs more objective and consistently predict adverse outcomes… but the definitions are still very new, very little data so far on how prevention strategies impact VAE rates

Implication: need to look at objective outcomes if we want to be sure that CUSP 4 MVP is helping our patients
