Pneumonia is the leading cause of death after acute spinal cord injury (SCI). High tidal volume ventilation (HVtV) is used in SCI rehabilitation centers to overcome hypoventilation while weaning patients from the ventilator. Our objective was to determine if HVtV in the acute post-injury period in SCI patients is associated with lower incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) when compared to patients receiving standard tidal volume ventilation. Cohort study. Red Duke Trauma Institute, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, TX, USA. Adult Acute Cervical SCI Patients, 2011-2018. HVtV. VAP, ventilator dependence at discharge, in-hospital mortality. Of 181 patients, 85 (47%) developed VAP. HVtV was utilized in 22 (12%) patients. Demographics, apart from age, were similar between patients who received HVtV and standard ventilation; patients were younger in the HVtV group. VAP developed in 68% of patients receiving HVtV and in 44% receiving standard tidal volumes (P = 0.06). After adjustment, HVtV was associated with a 1.96 relative risk of VAP development (95% credible interval 1.55-2.17) on Bayesian analysis. These results correlate with a >99% posterior probability that HVtV is associated with increased VAP when compared to standard tidal volumes. HVtV was also associated with increased rates of ventilator dependence. While limited by sample size and selection bias, our data revealed an association between HVtV and increased VAP. Further investigation into optimal early ventilation settings is needed for SCI patients, who are at a high risk of VAP.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).

D001499 Bayes Theorem A theorem in probability theory named for Thomas Bayes (1702-1761). In epidemiology, it is used to obtain the probability of disease in a group of people with some characteristic on the basis of the overall rate of that disease and of the likelihood of that characteristic in healthy and diseased individuals. The most familiar application is in clinical decision analysis where it is used for estimating the probability of a particular diagnosis given the appearance of some symptoms or test result.

D015331 Cohort Studies Studies in which subsets of a defined population are identified. These groups may or may not be exposed to factors hypothesized to influence the probability of the occurrence of a particular disease or other outcome.
