An observational study in Mechanical Ventilation Complication, Ventilator Associated Pneumonia and Compliance, Treatment, sponsored by Bürgerspital Solothurn. Status unknown at 1 site in Switzerland. Open to participants aged 19 Years to 99 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-06-16.
Sponsored by Bürgerspital Solothurn · Observational
It's based in an observational trial in mechanical ventilated patients. The investigators assess the head of bed elevation angle in the routine treatment of the unit. The investigators decide to assess the time the patient has a semirecumbent position >35°.
A Semirecumbent-bed position in mechanical ventilated patients is recommended in every international guidelines in order to avoiding Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Despite being a simple and cheap measure, the literature describe a low compliance. Globally, every intensive care unit tends to use different maneuvers that help or improve compliance of this recommendation. However, there are multiple factors in daily work that hinder compliance. Before taking actions, it would be convenient to know the current state of the unit.
Investigators aim to evaluate the quality with which the recommendation is carried out in the unit in order to maintain a semirecumbent position. To conduct the Trial it will be used a device that measures continuously (every 5 minutes) the angle of the bed without giving any information to caregivers. Once patients are extubated the data will be collected.
420 studies on the registry are indexed under Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated; 85 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 170 across 132 observational studies indexed under Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated.
