Immediate Effects on Ventilatory Morphofunctional Pattern and Cardiorespiratory Safety During Automatic Body Lateralization Therapy in Critically Ill Patients: A Quasi-Experimental Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Automatic lateralization therapy and Supine Positioning for Intensive Care Units. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
New devices have been used in intensive care to optimize respiratory function in critically ill patients, such as automatic lateralization therapy. However, the times and angles used vary widely, and there is no clear evidence of cardiovascular safety and immediate effects, which represents a gap in the literature. This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the imediact efficacy and cardiorespiratory safety of automatic lateralization therapy in critically ill patients under invasive mechanical ventilation. The primary outcomes include changes in ventilation distribution and end-expiratory impedance variation. Secondary outcomes include respiratory mechanics, vital signs, and adverse events.

Interventions
Program the bed to vary angle and time continuously during the intervention
In this intervention, participants will be positioned in the supine position with the head of the bed elevated at 30°
