Alveolar Recruitment in Brain Injury

NCT01159392 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 9

Last updated 2010-07-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Development of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with severe brain injury has been associated with poor outcome. The application of lung recruitment maneuvers (RM) for a short period of time to open collapsed alveoli and reverse hypoxemia in early ARDS has been recommended. However, little is known about the cerebral and vascular effects of RM in brain injury patients with ALI/ARDS. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of a single standardized RM on oxygenation and on systemic and cerebral hemodynamics in severe brain injury patients with ALI/ARDS.
