Respiratory Mechanics Assessment at Different Head of the Bed Elevations in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

NCT06409897 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2024-05-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The effects of different degrees of head-of-bed elevation on respiratory mechanics are poorly explored in the literature, and no study has investigated such effects using electrical impedance tomography, esophageal and gastric balloons to identify the ideal angle for optimizing respiratory mechanics. The hypothesis is that there is a optimal degree for the respiratory mechanics.

Sequencial increasing of head of the bed elevation and alveolar recruitment maneuver followed by a PEEP titration with 10° of head of the elevation

Patients will be sequentially positioned at 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 degrees of head-of-bed elevation. An alveolar recruitment maneuver will be performed. For patients with body mass index ≤ 30 kg/m\^2, the maneuver will be conducted in pressure control mode, pressure control = 15 cmH2O, respiratory rate = 20 breaths per minute, and the PEEP will be increased in steps of 5 up to 30 cmH2O. For patients with body mass index \> 30, the PEEP will be increased up to 35. Then, a PEEP titration will be performed, tidal volume = 5 mL/Kg, respiratory rate = 25 breaths per minute, and the PEEP will be decreased from 24 down to 4 cmH2O in steps of 2 cmH2O with 30 seconds in each PEEP level. The PEEP titration software of Enlight 2100 will be used to determine the ideal PEEP, defined as the PEEP level with a collapse less than 5%. The alveolar recruitment maneuver will be performed again to reopen the lungs. Then, data will be collected, as with the 0 and 40-degree steps, with ideal PEEP.
