Extracorporeal support Zapol W. JAMA 1979:242:2193-6
1) The respiratory support must provide normal PO2 and PCO2. 2) High FiO2 is harmful for the lung.
Deductive hypothesis Providing normal blood gases by artificial lungs at reduced FiO2 of the ventilator improves survival.

Zapol W. JAMA 1979:242:2193-6
Correct interpretation:
Premises are wrong: • Normal gases not mandatory • FiO2 not the devil
However…
Actual interpretation:
ECMO is useless
ECMO disappeared for 30 years

PEEP trials NHLBI ARDS Clinical Trials Network; LOVS; ExPress
1) Some level of PEEP is always necessary for oxygenation 2) The adverse effects of higher PEEP (overdistension) are inferior to its beneficial effects (prevention of damages induced by intra-tidal collapse).
Using higher PEEP improves survival. Deductive hypothesis
Premises

Prone Position /2 Trials by Mancebo and Taccone
Prone position in ARDS increases lung homogeneity decreasing the uneven distribution of stress and strain thus decreasing the lung damage.
long term prone position decreases mortality by decreasing stress and strain maldistribution in all ARDS patients.

Prone Position /3 Trial by Guerin 2013
Prone position in ARDS decreases the uneven distribution of stress and strain thus decreasing the lung damage, only in severe ARDS patients (moro inhomogeneous).
Long term prone position works it only in severe ARDS patents. Deductive hypothesis

High versus low tidal volume ventilation (ARDSnet. N Engl J Med. 2000 May 4;342(18):1301-8.)
1) Twelve mL/kg ideal body weight, causes unphysiological strain in a size-reduced ARDS lung. 2) This strain increases lung inflammation and inflammatory cytokine may reach distal organs.
Halving the tidal volume considered harmful (and accepting hypercapnia) decreases mortality attributable to high tidal volume mechanical ventilation.

Low Tidal Volume Ventilation (6 mL/kg IBW)
• Tidal Volume 7 vs 8 mL/kg ideal body weight?
• Driving Airway pressure?

Theory ARDS is an inflammatory syndrome.
Simvastatin has anti-inflammatory effect.
Hypothesis (deduction) Treatment with enteral simvastatin improves
ARDS outcome.
RCT (experiment) Simvastatin therapy did
not improve clinical outcomes in patients with ARDS.

RCTs, deductive method, may work only if the theories, assumptions and premises
are strong.
This rarely happens in ICU.

Conclusions
• Inductive reasoning in ARDS derive (or at least should) from physiology.
• Physiology generates theory • Theory must be tested with
appropriate experiments
You’ll see with ECMO…
