Brief Summary
This study evaluates whether sustaining inspiratory pressure for 10 seconds at a time can open collapsed lung areas in non-dependant regions of the lung in mechanically ventilated patients.
Detailed Description
Collapse of lung volume, atelectasis, is a common complication in sedated and mechanically ventilated patients. In adults the atelectasis occur mainly in the dependant areas of the lung. In this study...
