Effort of Breathing Guided Ventilator Management for Children Using Pressure Rate Product: a Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ventilator protocol and Esophageal Catheter for Ventilators, Mechanical and Work of Breathing. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot study tests the feasibility of using a computerized ventilator management protocol seeking to encourage lung protective ventilation during the acute phase of ventilation, and esophageal manometry based titration of ventilator settings during the weaning phase of ventilation, for children with acute respiratory failure. The investigators hypothesize that such an approach will reduce time on mechanical ventilation, largely by preserving diaphragm muscle function.
