Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) Guided Alveolar Recruitment Strategy

NCT00779090 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 59

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In ventilated patients open endotracheal suctioning may lead to alveolar derecruitment, which can be monitored by means of functional residual capacity (FRC) measurements. The investigators hypothesized that a recruitment strategy based on FRC measurements would improve oxygenation and regional ventilation after an open endotracheal suctioning manoeuvre.

Conditions

  • Ventilation
  • Functional Residual Capacity
