Brief Summary

The renal Doppler resistive index (RRI) is a noninvasive tool that has been used to assess renal perfusion in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Many parameters have been described as influential on the values of renal RI. Mechanical ventilation is associated with significant increases in the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Ventilator-induced kidney injury (VIKI) is believed to occur due to changes in hemodynamics that impair renal perfusion. The investigators hypothesized that patients who need mechanical ventilation should have a different response in RRI when different levels of Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) are applied. Investigators wish to describe changing in RRI due to changes in PEEP and to verify whether these changes could partially explain the occurrence of VIKI

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Occurence of AKI

    AKI will be defined according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria

    once a day until day 7

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in RRI at different level of PEEP

    One a day until day 5

Study Arms (1)

Critically ill ventilated patients

Patients admitted to ICU with expected mechanical ventilation \>48h

Procedure: PEEP changes

Interventions

PEEP changesPROCEDURE

All patients will be ventilated with a tidal volume of 6 ml/kg before the RRI assessment. Further, three level of PEEP (5, 10 and 15 cmH2O) will be randomly set. For each levels of PEEP, the RRI will be evaluated
