Official Title: Ventilator Settings for Bronchoscopy During Mechanical Ventilation: a Randomized Controlled Study
Brief Summary:
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) can cause a significant increase in respiratory resistances and airway pressure during mechanical ventilation (MV), which can jeopardize the delivery of the ventilatory assistance.This randomized controlled study tests the hypothesis that new ventilator settings aimed at reducing airway pressure may facilitate FOB during MV.Results of this trial should lead to propose a new ventilatory strategy for critically ill patients needing a FOB procedure under MV.
