Influence of Respiratory Mechanics on Brain-specific Monitoring in Brain-injured Patients

Lead Sponsor:

Piquilloud Imboden Lise

Conditions:

Brain Injuries

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

Increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) could be associated with increase in positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level. Data are however disparate and interactions between ventilation with high PE...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Acute brain injury of any etiology requiring multimodal brain monitoring (intraparenchymal intracranial pressure, brain-tissue oxygen tension and cerebral microdialysis)
  • Controlled mechanical ventilation via endotracheal tube
  • Patient needing deep sedation

Exclusion

  • pregnancy
  • contraindications to nasogastric probe placement: basilar skull or significant naso-facial fractures, significant esophageal or gastric trauma or bleeding, previous esophageal surgery, significant bleeding diathesis (spontaneous aPTT \> 60 sec, PT \< 40%, INR \> 1.8, platelets \< 50000/mm3), known esophageal or gastric varices
  • decompressive craniectomy
  • intracranial pressure monitoring method other than intraparenchymal (e.g. connected to external ventricular drain)
  • severe relevant physiological instability contraindicating an increase in PEEP: severe baseline intracranial pressure elevation (\> 20 mmHg), severe hemodynamic instability (defined as norepinephrine requirements \> 0.5 μg/kg/min or cardiogenic shock, defined as any use of dobutamine)
  • conditions that interfere with accurate measurements of respiratory mechanics: bronchopleural fistula, pneumothorax.
  • Withhold of life-sustaining therapy for medical reasons
