Abstract

Objective: To determine the effect of peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the development of bacteremia with Klebsiella pneumoniae after mechanical ventilation of intratracheally inoculated rats.

Design: Prospective, randomized, animal study.

Setting: Experimental intensive care unit of a University.

Subjects: Eighty male Sprague Dawley rats.

Interventions: Intratracheal inoculation with 100 microliters of saline containing 3.5-5.0 x 10(5) colony forming units (CFUs) K. pneumoniae/ml. Pressure-controlled ventilation (frequency 30 bpm; I/E ratio = 1:2; FIO2 = 1.0) for 180 min at the following settings (PIP/PEEP in cmH2O): 13/3 (n = 16); 13/0 (n = 16); 30/10 (n = 16) and 30/0 (n = 16), starting 22 h after inoculation. Arterial blood samples were obtained and cultured before and 180 min after mechanical ventilation and immediately before sacrifice in two groups of non-ventilated control animals (n = 8 per group). After sacrifice, the lungs were homogenized to determine the number of CFUs K. pneumoniae.

Measurements And Results: The number of CFUs recovered from the lungs was comparable in all experimental groups. After 180 min, 11 animals had positive blood cultures for K. pneumoniae in group 30/0, whereas only 2, 0 and 2 animals were positive in 13/3, 13/0 and 30/10, respectively (p < 0.05 group 30/0 versus all other groups).

Conclusions: These data show that 3 h of mechanical ventilation with a PIP of 30 cmH2O without PEEP in rats promotes bacteremia with K. pneumoniae. The use of 10 cmH2O PEEP at such PIP reduces ventilation-induced K. pneumoniae bacteremia.
