Filter by:This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of implementing a personalized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) management strategy guided by esophageal pressure (Pes), as well as its potential to reduce the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
High flow nasal cannula administration in critically ill patients is frequently used to improve acute respiratory failure or to prevent respiratory failure after extubation. It acts generating a mild positive pressure in the airways and by reducing respiratory effort of patients. However to the best of our knowledge, no study to date has directly measured the amount of positive pressure generated in the trachea of patients. The primary aim, therefore, of this study measures this positive pressure after extubation in critically ill patients.
The main purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of PEEP application in terms of perioperative oxygenation level in the use of classical LMA and i-gel, which is often preferred. The secondary aim is to compare parameters such as gastric insufflation and the rate of postoperative pulmonary complication development in the case of PEEP with two supraglottic airway devices.
The investigators aim to assess the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on diaphragmatic activity evaluated through ultrasound in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) for acute respiratory failure (ARF) assisted via invasive mechanical ventilation in assisted mode.
This study investigates airway effects of PEEP during maskventilation at anesthesia induction. Four patient groups will be ventilated with different PEEP and driving pressures to evaluate time to open airway after start of positive pressure maskventilation during anesthesia induction.
