Transpulmonary Pressure and Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV).
Study Details
Study Description
Brief 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

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Transpulmonary pressure [24 hours]
Measurement of transpulmonary pressure needs the measurement of oesophageal pressure with a specific nasogastric tube. This measurement is now available in routine in few mechanical ventilators in intensive care units (eg: AVEA Ventilator. Vyasys HealthCare). Transpulmonary pressure is the difference between airway pressure and oesophageal pressure and it is now easy to obtain and monitor at the bedside with these ventilators. It is also possible to record the value furthermore than 24 hours.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Maximal value of transpulmonary pressure [24 hours]
Value of tidal volume > 8 ml/kg
