New treatment option for Mechanical Ventilation
Official title Effect of Post-suction Recruitment on Lung Volume in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07358039
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Patients who are intubated and mechanically ventilated in the intensive care unit (ICU) require repeated endotracheal suctioning to remove airway secretions. Although this procedure is necessary, it can cause a temporary collapse of lung units (alveolar derecruitment), leading to a decrease in lung volume and impaired oxygenation.
