Respiratory failure & ventilation

Machine learning predicts lung recruitment in acute respiratory distress syndrome using single lung CT scan

Ann Intensive CarePublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

ML based on a single CT data at 5 cmH2O represented an easy-to-apply tool to classify ARDS patients in recruiters and non-recruiters according to both radiologically defined and gas exchange-defined lung recruitment within the first 48 h from the start of mechanical ventilation.

Study context

Population
Mechanically ventilated, sedated and paralysed patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)retrospectively enrolled
Participants
221 participants
Comparison
CT-based machine learning (ML) vs Combined ML
Outcome
Classification of lung recruiters: radiologically defined (Δ45-5 non-aerated tissue > 15%) and gas exchange-defined (Δ15-5 PaO2 > 24 mmHg)
Methodological detailsretrospective, machine learning classifier development and validation, Four ML algorithms evaluated, PEEP trial at 5 and 15 cmH2O and two lung CT scans at 5 and 45 cmH2O airway pressure
  • Retrospective
  • Machine learning classifier development and validation
  • Four ML algorithms evaluated
  • PEEP trial at 5 and 15 cmH2O and two lung CT scans at 5 and 45 cmH2O airway pressure

Performance

As reported in the abstract

Classification of radiologically defined lung recruiters
  • ML based on CT data at 5 cmH2O classified radiologically defined recruiters with similar AUC as ML based on combined lung mechanics, gas exchange and CT data

Further findings

Classification of gas exchange-defined lung recruiters

ML based on CT data classified gas exchange-defined recruiters with the highest AUC
