NCT01070654

Brief Summary

Recruitment manoeuvres, consisting of sustained inflations at high airway pressures, have been advocated as an adjunct to mechanical ventilation in lung protective ventilation strategies to prevent the collapse of the lung. This study aims to determine the safety and efficacy of a recruitment manoeuvre, by considering its impact on gas exchange, hemodynamics and on the release of systemic inflammatory mediators.

Study Arms (1)

40/30 Recruitment Manoeuvre

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with respiratory failure that will be first ventilated for 30 minutes according to standardized baseline protective ventilation and after that will receive the recruitment manoeuvre

Procedure: 40/30 recruitment manoeuvreDevice: continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)

Interventions

The ventilator will be switched to the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mode and the pressure will be increased to 40 cmH20 for 30 seconds.

Also known as: Recruitment Manoeuvres, ARDS open lung strategy, PEEP
