Transpulmonary Pressure and Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV).

Patient Mechanically Ventilated With APRV Mode Clinical Trial

Official title: Incidence of High Levels of Transpulmonary Pressure During the Use of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Mechanical ventilation can induce pulmonary lesions called ventilator induced lung injury (VILI). High levels of Transpulmonary pressure is one of the most important mechanism of VILI during the use of mechanical ventilation. The use of bilevel pressure ventilator modes like APRV could generate high levels of transpulmonary pressure.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the variations of transpulmonary pressure during the use of APRV by clinicians
