ARDS, Human Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigation of Potential Biomarkers of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid for Reflux Aspiration-induced Alveolar Injury.
There is limited research on aspiration pneumonia-induced ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), and currently there is a lack of studies on corresponding biomarkers and pathogenic mechanisms. We hypothesize that pH and amylase in BAL (Bronchoalveolar Lavage) may serve as candidate biomarkers for inhalation-induced ARDS, while changes in different cytokines may provide clinical evidence for studying its pathogenic mechanisms.
Aspiration pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is not uncommon in clinical practice, but sometimes it occurs covertly and is not easily detected by doctors or family members. Sometimes, acute respiratory failure occurs suddenly due to massive aspiration. Aspiration of gastric contents is the main cause of reflux aspiration, and there is also aspiration of pharyngeal secretions in patients with impaired swallowing function. Finding the cause of ARDS is of great significance for guiding treatment and determining prognosis, but currently there is limited research on aspiration pneumonia leading to ARDS, and there is a lack of effective biomarkers in clinical practice. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a commonly used examination and treatment method for ARDS patients. We hypothesize that the detection of pH or amylase in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) may have diagnostic significance for reflux aspiration-induced ARDS. Changes in cell subgroups and cytokines in BALF are important for understanding the pathogenesis. Therefore, in our prospective study, we collected BALF from patients admitted to the ICU who underwent endotracheal intubation due to ARDS and required bronchoscopy examination. We tested the pH and amylase levels in the lavage fluid. We analyzed the causes of ARDS and compared the differences in pH and amylase levels in BALF between patients with reflux aspiration-induced ARDS and non-reflux aspiration-induced ARDS. In addition, we will also explore the changes in cells, cytokines, and omics differences in BALF of confirmed cases of reflux aspiration-induced ARDS to search for possible pathogenic mechanisms. This study's use of bronchoscopy examination is in line with patient treatment needs and will not increase patient suffering or burden. Informed consent will be obtained from all patients admitted to the ICU with ARDS before enrollment. Recently, a retrospective analysis comparing the differences in amylase and pancreatic enzyme levels in BALF between aspiration pneumonia and non-aspiration pneumonia was published in Pulmonology. Based on the number of cases and ROC results, PASS (2021, v21.0.3) was used, requiring 22 cases (11 each) with a 20% dropout rate, resulting in 28 cases (14 each). In statistical analysis, data is presented as mean ± standard deviation or the interquartile range (IQR) of 25-75% as the median. F test was performed to compare the means of the two groups. Student's t-test and Welch's t-test were used to compare values with and without homogeneity, respectively. One-way analysis of variance was used for multiple comparisons. Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for comparing median values between independent variables and dependent variables. Kruskal-Wallis test was used for multiple comparisons. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of BAL-amylase and BAL-pH, and chi-square test was used to examine their relationship with risk factors for aspiration-induced ARDS. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the relationship between BAL-amylase or BAL-pH and ARDS, expressed as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). All analyses were conducted using PASS. ;
