Last updated 2017-05-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main hypothesis are:

1. Passive and Active-Passive airway conditioning devices reduce the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia
2. Active-Passive airway conditioning devices reduce the incidence of endotracheal tube obstruction
3. Nurses' workload is reduced with Passive and Active-Passive airway conditioning devices

Conditions

  • Acute Lung Injury

Interventions

DEVICE

Airway Conditioning

Each Passive device will be changed daily. When using Active and Passive devices as well as Active-Passive devices the ventilatory circuit will be changed every 7 days.
