Effect of Positive Expiratory Pressure on Right Ventricular Function in Patients With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

NCT00236262 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to analyze by trans-oesophageal echocardiography the effect on the right ventricle of positive expiratory pressure (PEP) level variations with constant plate pressure among patients with syndrome of acute respiratory distress of the adult (SDRA). The assumption tested is that a high level of PEP increases the impedance with the ejection of the right ventricle independently of the level of plate pressure. The effect on the right ventricular preload will be checked via the analysis of the respiratory variability of the diameter of the higher vena cava.
