No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this study the investigators will assess the effects of secretion removal on "noninvasive" respiratory mechanics, in deeply sedated mechanically ventilated patients All the mechanically ventilated patients will be submitted to the recording of compliance and resistance at baseline (time0), immediately after the application of 10 cycles alternating 30 cmH20 during expiration and -30 cmH20 during exhalation (time1). Afterward the patients will undergo an additional trail using the so called "percussion" technique, to assess any synergic effect of this procedure (time2)

Conditions

  • Acute Respiratory Failure

Interventions

DEVICE

in-exufflator technique

application through a device of 10 cycles using positive pressure (30 cmH20) during inspiration and negative pressure (-30 cmH20) during exhalation

DEVICE

percussion technique

sliding venturi system (phasitron), powered by compressed gas that can be changed from 0.8 up to 3.5 bar and that generates the oscillations in the range of 80-650 cycles/min
