Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is the cornerstone of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management. The use of protective ventilation is a priority in this acute phase of lung inflammation. Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) induce reversible muscle paralysis. Their use in patients with ARDS remains controversial but occurs frequently. NMBAs are used in 25-45% of ARDS patients for a mean period of 1±2 days. The main indications of NMBAs are hypoxemia and facilitation of MV. For ethical reasons, NMBA use is inseparable from sedation in the management of early ARDS. During paralysis, sedation monitoring seems to be necessary to avoid awareness with recall. Three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated that the systematic use of NMBAs in the early management of ARDS patients improves oxygenation. Furthermore, the most recent trial reported a reduction of mortality at 90 days when NMBAs were infused over 48 hours. Spontaneous ventilation (SV) during MV at the acute phase of ARDS could improve oxygenation and alveolar recruitment, but it may not allow protective ventilation. The major risk is an increase in ventilator-induced lung injury. However, the adverse effects of NMBAs are widely discussed, particularly the occurrence of intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired weakness. This review analyses the recent findings in the literature concerning sedation and paralysis in managing ARDS.
