In mechanically ventilated patients, deep sedation is often assumed to induce respirolysis, i.e. lyse spontaneous respiratory effort, while light sedation is often assumed to preserve spontaneous effort. This study was conducted to determine validity of these common assumptions, evaluating the association of respiratory drive with sedation depth and ventilator-free days in acute respiratory failure. Prospective cohort study. Patients were enrolled during two month-long periods in 2016–2017 from five ICUs representing medical, surgical, and cardiac specialties at a U.S. academic hospital. Eligible patients were critically ill adults receiving invasive ventilation initiated ≤ 36 hours before enrollment. Patients with neuromuscular disease compromising respiratory function or expiratory flow limitation were excluded. Respiratory drive was measured via P0.1, the change in airway pressure during a 0.1-second airway occlusion at initiation of patient inspiratory effort, every 12 ± 3 hours for 3 days. Sedation depth was evaluated via the Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS). Analyses evaluated the association of P0.1 with RASS (primary outcome) and ventilator-free days. Fifty-six patients undergoing 197 bedside evaluations across five intensive care units were included. P0.1 ranged between 0–13.3 (median 0.1, interquartile range 0.0–1.3) cm H2O. P0.1 was not significantly correlated with RASS (RSpearman 0.02, 95% CI −0.12 to 0.16; p = 0.80). Considering P0.1 terciles (range < 0.2, 0.2–1.0, and > 1.0 cm H2O), patients in the middle tercile had significantly more ventilator-free days than the lowest tercile (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.78, 95% CI 0.65–0.93; p < 0.01) or highest tercile (IRR 0.58, 95% CI 0.48–0.70; p < 0.01). Sedation depth is not a reliable marker of respiratory drive during critical illness. Respiratory drive can be low, moderate, or high across the range of routinely targeted sedation depth.
