Mechanical Ventilation in Multiple Fracture Ribs

NCT03314701 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2018-07-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chest trauma is the most common injury in the emergency trauma and rib fractures is the most common trauma in chest trauma. Severe rib fractures can cause paradoxical respiration and mediastinal swing, which has large effects on respiratory and circulatory system, result in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Mechanical ventilation can significantly improve the hypoxemia of the patients, correct paradoxical respiration, and treat the pulmonary atelectasis

Conditions

  • Mechanical Ventilation

Interventions

DEVICE

Biphasic Intermittent Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP)

Following endotracheal intubation BIPAP mode will be started with: * Inspiratory positive airway pressure \[IPAP\] at 20 cmH2O * Expiratory positive airway pressure \[EPAP\] at 5 cmH2O * PRESSURE SUPPORT is difference between these two pressures \[IPAP\]- \[EPAP\] * Mandatory pressure will be delivered at rate of 10-12/min. To produce an end tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure in the range of 35-40 mmHg hypercapnia will not be allowed

DEVICE

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV)

* high airway pressure (Phigh) will be set at 20 cmH2O * low airway pressure ( Plow) will be set at 5 cmH2O * the release phase setting will be adjusted to terminate the peak expiratory flow rate to ≥ 50%; release frequency of 10-12 cycles/min * T high at 4.5-6 seconds * T low at 0.5 to 0.8 second
