Influence Positive End-expiratory Pressure on Autoregulation in Patients With Respiratory Insufficiency (dARICUPEEP)

June 19, 2020 updated by: Patrick Schramm, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz

Influence of Positive End-expiratory Pressure on the Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Patients With Respiratory Failure

The aim of the present study is to characterize the influence of an elevated positive end-expiratory pressure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome or acute lung injury on the cerebrovascular autoregulation.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

Cerebral blood flow velocity will be measured using transcranial Doppler sonography and then correlate with the invasive arterial blood pressure curve to calculate the index of cerebrovascular autoregulation Mx (Mx>0.3 indicates impaired AR). The index of cerebrovascular autoregulation Mx was measured during baseline positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels and after lung recruitment with higher level of PEEP. The equality between this two PEEP levels was estimated and calculated with one side Wilcoxon test.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Integrity of the cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA)
Time Frame: 30 Minutes
Cerebrovascular autoregulation will be calculated as a moving correlation index (Mx) from the cerebral blood flow velocity and the arterial blood pressure. It is a parameter without unit (index).
