Summary

Intensive care unit (ICU) patients on respirators are at high risk for preventable pulmonary complications (PPC). Turning these patients from side to side may reduce PPC, but carries the burden of decreases in blood pressure and oxygenation. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in PPC or adverse events when ICU patients on respirators are turned by nurses or by an automated turning bed.

Conditions

  • Pneumonia, Ventilator Associated

Interventions

OTHER

Manual turn

Manual turn from side to back to side every 2 hours by nurses while patient receiving mechanical ventilation

DEVICE

kinetic therapy bed

Continuous, automated turning to a maximum of 45 degrees in the lateral positions while the patient is receiving mechanical ventilation
