研究概览
简要总结
In order to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of pulmonary pathogens and reduce the adverse impact of excessive BAL volume on patients, this study intends to explore the most optimal lavage volume in the middle lobe and the lower lobe of critical patients as well as seeking for the best way to manage BALF samples by means of detecting alveolar proteins and bacterial composition in BALF samples. The hypothesis is that the optimal lavage volume in the middle lobe and the lower lobe might be different. And to sample BALF separately through sequential lavage might be a better way to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of pneumonia pathogens.
详细描述
This is a self-control study consisted of three parts. Firstly, searching for the optimal lavage volume in the middle lobe and the lower lobe of critical patients by exploring the differences between the concentration of alveolar proteins among BALF samples of every participant. Several BALF samples are seperately collected from every single participant through sequential lavage(an initial 20 ml saline lavage at main bronchus and 5 aliquots of 20 ml saline lavage at the subsegment of the right middle lobe or 6 aliquots of 20 ml saline lavage at the lower lobe) . The concentration of Alveolar proteins including Surfactant protein B (SP-B), Surfactant protein D (SP-D) and Human typeⅠprotein (HTⅠ-56) will be determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Meanwhile, the amount of living cells as well as the proportion of squamous cells and columnar cells in BALF samples will be counted. Secondly, to confirm the optimal lavage volume through quantitative bacterial culture of BALF and sputum samples of participants. And BALF samples will also be tested by next generation sequencing（NGS） to identify microorganism. Thirdly, to observe the effect of BAL on respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The Vital signs, arterial gas analysis, ventilator parameters and respiratory mechanical parameters of patients before and within 24 hours after the BAL procedure will be recorded.

结局指标
主要结局
The optimal lavage volume at the middle lobe and the lower lobe, evaluated by the detection of SP-B, SP-D and HTⅠ-56 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).
时间窗: 48 hours
For the reason that SP-B, SP-D and HTⅠ-56 only exists in terminal airway and alveolus, the concentrations of them in BALF indicates the abundance of terminal airway materials obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage. SP-B, SP-D and HTⅠ-56 will be detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
The best way to manage BALF samples, evaluated by comparing the bacterial diversity and abundance in separately collected BALF specimens and mixed BALF specimen.
时间窗: 3 days
Mixed BALF specimen was a mixture of one tenth of separately collected BALF specimens. The BALF specimens will be cultured at 37℃，5% carbon dioxide for 18 to 24 hours, using blood ager, chocolate ager and MacConkey ager. Bacterial species will be identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and the colony counts will be recorded. Besides, BALF specimens will also be dectected by Next Generation Sequencing for the bacterial diversity and abundance. As a reference, culture of the endotracheal aspiration will be conducted.
次要结局
- Quality of BALF samples, evaluated by counts of different kind of cells in BALF(24 hours)
- Recovery of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(1 hour)
- Change of pulmonary static compliance (Cst).(30 minutes before BAL; 15 minutes, 1 hours, 3 hours, 9 hours and 24 hours after BAL.)
- Chang of airway resistance (Raw).(30 minutes before BAL; 15 minutes, 1 hours, 3 hours, 9 hours and 24 hours after BAL.)
- Change of PaO2/FiO2 ratio.(About 2 hours before BAL; 15 minutes, 3 hours, 9 hours, 19 hours and 24 hours after BAL.)
- Impact of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) on the cardiovascular system.(30 minutes before BAL; 15 minutes, 1 hours, 3 hours, 9 hours, 19 hours and 24 hours after BAL)
- Change of arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2).(About 2 hours before BAL; 15 minutes, 3 hours, 9 hours, 19 hours and 24 hours after BAL.)
