NCT03294928

Brief Summary

Population in study will be selected from students and staff of the University of Pisa. Right carotid artery contour wave analysis will be performed during the application of different PEEP levels (from 0 cmH2O to 10 cmH2O) with applanation tonometry technique.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • hemodynamic variations in wave reflection induced by the application of increasing levels of PEEP in healthy subjects.

    Mean blood pressure

    at rest and after 5 minutes

Study Arms (1)

progressive increasing of PEEP level

EXPERIMENTAL

four-step measurements of central artery blood pressure evaluating contour wave analysis during a progressive increasing of PEEP level.

Other: progressive increasing of PEEP level.

Interventions

four-step measurements of central artery blood pressure evaluating contour wave analysis during a progressive increasing of PEEP level First step (Baseline) Subjects spontaneously breathe in air at atmospheric pressure during applanation tonometry. Second step (PEEP=5 cm H2O) Applanation tonometry was performed during the application of PEEP = 5 cmH2O (Oxygen flow = 8lt.- Air flow = 10 lt.). Third step (PEEP= 10 cm H2O) Applanation tonometry was performed during the application of PEEP = 10 cmH2O (Oxygen flow = 15lt.- Air flow = 20 lt.). Fourth step (Recovery) Subjects spontaneously rebreathe air at atmospheric pressure during applanation tonometry.
