U.S., April 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07512713) titled 'Abbreviated Title: Airway Opening Pressure in Mechanically VENTilated Patients' on March 27.
Brief Summary: Context:
Mechanical ventilation is an essential treatment for patients admitted to intensive care. It is estimated that approximately 50% of adult patients admitted to intensive care require invasive mechanical ventilation. However, inappropriate ventilator settings expose patients to the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). In particular, the cyclical opening and closing of the alveolar units can damage lung tissue and trigger an inflammatory response.
Measuring and monitoring airway pressure (Paw), particularly p...
