Brief Summary

The aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of positional changes in mechanically ventilated patients.

Detailed Description

In critically ill patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), several negative effects converge, promoting the development of collapse in the dorsal areas of the lung. These among other...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients undergoing IMV under sedation, in a controlled ventilatory modality in passive conditions (i.e. without any spontaneous inspiratory efforts by the patient).
  • Signature of the informed consent by family member or legal representative.

Exclusion

  • Presence of any clinical contraindication for postural therapy, including patient haemodynamic instability, traumatism, pathology or any other cause.
  • Contraindication for the placement of the EIT electrode belt due to unstable spinal cord injury or other skin injuries or wounds in the thoracic region (surgical, traumatic, etc.)
  • Assisted ventilatory modes in a non-passive breathing patient.
  • Hypernatremia
  • Patients with pacemakers or implantable automatic defibrillators (IAD).
