Lung epithelial injury markers are not influenced by use of lower tidal volumes during elective surgery in patients without preexisting lung injury
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Clara cell protein levels are elevated in plasma of individuals with mild or subclinical lung injury. We studied the influence of two mechanical ventilation strategies on local and systemic levels of Clara cell protein (CC16) and compared them with levels of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) and surfactant proteins (SP)-A and -D in patients undergoing elective surgery. Saved samples from a previously reported investigation were used for the study. Forty patients planned for elective surgery were randomized to mechanical ventilation with either a conventional tidal volume (V(T)) of 12 ml/kg without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or low V(T) of 6 ml/kg and 10 cmH(2)O PEEP. Plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected directly after intubation and after 5 h of mechanical ventilation. While systemic levels of SP-A and SP-D remained unchanged, systemic levels of CC16 and sRAGE increased significantly in both groups after 5 h (P < 0.001 for both). BALF levels of SP-A, SP-D, CC16, and sRAGE remained unaffected. No differences were found between the two mechanical ventilation strategies regarding any of the measured biological markers. In conclusion, systemic levels of CC16 and sRAGE rise after 5 h in patients receiving mechanical ventilation for elective surgery. Mechanical ventilation with lower tidal volumes and PEEP did not have a different effect on levels of biomarkers of lung epithelial injury compared with conventional mechanical ventilation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
