Esophageal Balloon Calibration in Assisted Ventilation Mode

NCT03721237 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2019-09-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Esophageal balloon calibration (EBC) has been proposed during controlled mechanical ventilation in intubated patients in order to optimize esophageal pressure (Pes) signal. Actually, at our knowledge, no data exist about EBC during assisted ventilatory modes such as Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV). The primary endpoint of the present investigation is to assess the feasibility of EBC during PSV and PSV plus Sigh.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

EBC-assisted

After definitive catheter positioning, esophageal balloon calibration will be performed in: 1. volume-controlled mode with tidal volume set to obtain 6-8 lm/kg of ideal body weight (reference), 2. pressure support ventilation (PSV) with support set to obtain a tidal volume ranging between 6-8 ml/kg of ideal body weight at equal PEEP of volume control mode (PSV baseline); 3. PSV + sigh ventilation (sigh setting: total inspiratory pressure equal to 35 cmH2O at a rate of 1/ minute; inspiratory time equal to 4 seconds).
