NCT00810186 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 77

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background: Patients that suffer from respiratory failure and need mechanical ventilation are at risk of further deterioration due to complications induced by progression of lung disease or the mechanical ventilation. The complications usually develop in a progressive manner, but are currently detected relatively late, when there is already severe and life threatening deterioration in patient oxygenation and sometimes irreversible damages.

Objective:To measure chest wall dynamics, derived from sensors placed on the chest and abdomen.

Methods: The system comprises of patches attached to the chest wall and upper abdomen that include mechanical sensors that measure the mechanics of lung inflation and deflation.
