Eligibility:

All Genders

18-100 years

Phase:

Brief Summary

The goal of this physiological pilot study with a randomized crossover design is to study the effect of Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) on the minute volume compared to Volume-controlled ventilation...

Detailed Description

Rationale: Patients with an exacerbation of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) on the intensive care unit (ICU) have a mortality r...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 18 years or older;
  • Provided written informed consent;
  • Undergoing controlled mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube;
  • Reason for intubation being exacerbation of asthma or COPD;
  • Intubated ≤72 hours

Exclusion

  • Severe sputum stasis or production requiring frequent bronchial suctioning (more than 5 times per nurse shift)
  • Untreated pneumothorax (i.e. no pleural drainage)
  • Hemodynamic instability defined as a mean arterial pressure below 60mmHg not responding to fluids and/or vasopressors or a noradrenalin dose \>0.5mcrg/kg/min
  • High (\>15 mmHg) or instable (an increase in sedation or osmotherapy is required) intracranial pressure
  • An inner tube diameter of 6mm or less
  • Anticipating withdrawal of life support and/or shift to palliation as the goal of care
  • Inability to perform adequate electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurements with, e.g.:
  • Have a thorax circumference inappropriate for EIT-belt
  • Thoracic wounds, bandages or deformities preventing adequate fit of EIT-belt
  • Recent (\<7 days) pulmonary surgery including pneumonectomy, lobectomy or lung transplantation
  • ICD device present (potential interference with proper functioning of the EIT device and ICD device)
  • Excessive subcutaneous emphysema
  • Contra-indications for nasogastric tube or inability to perform adequate transpulmonary pressure measurements with, e.g.:
  • Recent esophageal surgery
  • Prior esophagectomy
  • Known presence of esophageal varices
  • Severe bleeding disorders
