An observational study in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients, sponsored by University of Chicago. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-12-03.
Sponsored by University of Chicago · Observational
The overall purpose to the study is to prospectively study how often patients with and without acute lung injury (ALI) have patient-ventilator asynchrony demonstrated as stacked breaths. The investigators seek to describe the quantity of stacked breaths by continuously recording flow, volume, and pressure waveforms routinely displayed on the vent. The investigators also seek to describe how primary ICU teams manage asynchrony documenting interventions of sedation or vent manipulation and what modality is most successful.
University of Chicago is the lead sponsor of 907 studies on the registry; 182 are open to participants now.
