Immediate Effects of Automatic Lateralization in Critically Ill Patients

NCT07087600 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

New devices have been used in intensive care to optimize respiratory function in critically ill patients, such as automatic lateralization therapy. However, the times and angles used vary widely, and there is no clear evidence of cardiovascular safety and immediate effects, which represents a gap in the literature. This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the imediact efficacy and cardiorespiratory safety of automatic lateralization therapy in critically ill patients under invasive mechanical ventilation. The primary outcomes include changes in ventilation distribution and end-expiratory impedance variation. Secondary outcomes include respiratory mechanics, vital signs, and adverse events.

Conditions
