Filter by:Objective: To compare termination criteria (TC) of pressure support ventilation (PSV). Design: Randomized cross-over clinical trial. Setting: Intensive Care Units. Patients: Sixteen patients on PSV with ability to answer a visual analog scale (VAS). Protocol and Measurements: Each patient was ventilated with two different TC ventilators, fixed and automatic, with measurements of ventilatory mechanic variables, breathing comfort and asynchrony patterns.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether dexmedetomidine is a more effective medication than haloperidol in the treatment of agitation and delirium in patients receiving mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit. Haloperidol is a medication conventionally used for this purpose. The investigators will study only patients who have recovered from their illness to the point that, were it not for agitation and delirium, they would no longer require mechanical ventilation. The investigators hypothesize that patients receiving dexmedetomidine will be able to discontinue mechanical ventilation earlier than those receiving haloperidol.
This bicentric, randomized, controlled trial examines the effectiveness of an automatic control of pressure support ventilation (SmartCare/PS) in critically ill patients.
This is a comparative study of duration of respiratory weaning between adaptive support ventilation and succession of controlled ventilation then spontaneous ventilation for patients after surgery.
