Physiological Effects and Safety of Continuous High-frequency Oscillatory Ventilation in ICU Patients
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation: Administer 10 minutes of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in awake ICU patients.
Study summary
Atelectasis, hypoxemia, and ineffective sputum clearance are common problems in ICU patients. Continuous High-Frequency Oscillation (CHFO) is often considered to have a protective effect on the lungs. CHFO provides effective gas exchange at supraphysiological frequencies while minimizing pressure fluctuations, producing tidal volumes smaller than dead space, and adjusting around a continuously expanding pressure to optimize end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), thereby improving lung function by achieving and maintaining lung recruitment. However, the physiological effects and safety of CHFO in awake critically ill patients are still lacking relevant research. The objective of this study is to evaluate the comfort, safety, and efficacy of CHFO in awake critically ill patients.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- EIT — Baseline, during the treatment, and at the end of the intervention (10th minute).
In EIT monitoring, a 16-electrode belt was placed around the chest to record signals. Measurements will be taken at three time points: (1) within 10 minutes before the start of CHFO, (2) during the treatment, and (3) within 10 minutes after its completion.
