NCT01339533 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 246

Last updated 2015-08-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

APRV mode of ventilation will result in an improved partial pressure of arterial oxygenation/ fraction of inspired oxygen (P/F ratio) on day 3 of mechanical ventilation. Sub hypotheses: APRV will be associated with a reduced amount of sedation used during the ICU stay in patients with respiratory failure. APRV will be associated with a reduction in the amount of vasoactive medication used for blood pressure support in patients with respiratory failure.

DEVICE

Mechanical Ventilation

Patients who experience problems breathing and require assistance in breathing are placed on a machine that delivers air to the lungs through a tube through the vocal cords. This study is testing 3 protocols for that machine.
