Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators aim to demonstrate that use of transpulmonary pressure to guide PEEP management is safe in patients with possible elevations of intracranial pressure.


Clinical Trial Description

Purpose: To establish safety of titrating PEEP based on transpulmonary pressure as measured by an esophageal balloon in mechanically ventilated neurosurgical patients. Participants: Adult patients admitted to the Neuro ICU at UNC Hospital and requiring mechanical ventilation who have an intracranial pressure monitoring device in place. Procedures (methods): All enrolled patients will have esophageal balloons placed with measurement of transpulmonary pressures. All patients will have baseline measurements recorded of intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, and cerebral autoregulation. PEEP will then be titrated based on transpulmonary pressure measurements with recording of physiological measurements over the next hour. At the conclusion of the hour, all patients will be returned to their prior ventilator settings. ;
