Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators will conduct an observational crossover study. The investigators aim to recruit 50 participants with severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) requiring intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring during their stay at the Neuro Trauma ICU at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.

Overall, participants will be monitored, on average, for approximately 6-8 hours during the study period. The investigators do not anticipate the need for prolonged monitoring during the duration of their hospital stay or post hospital period.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Each participant at admission will initially receive a primary mode of mechanical ventilation as determined by the attending trauma intensivists. 12-18 hours after recruitment, continuous monitoring of participants' ICP and hemodynamic status will commence to collect participants' baseline data for 30 minutes.

Participants will then undergo low tidal volume mechanical ventilation (LOTV), serving as a control mode of ventilation, for 2 hours prior to switching back to the primary mode of ventilation for 30 minutes. Next, patients will be placed on Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) for 2 hours. While receiving APRV, participants Intracranial pressure and hemodynamic status will be continuously monitored and recorded for comparison and analysis. After 2 hours of APRV, patients will be switched back to their previous mode of ventilation and more data collected for another 30 minutes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation:APRV

Each participant will serve as his/her own control using our observational crossover study comparing the effects of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation and Low Tidal Volume Ventilation on patient intracranial pressure and hemodynamic values.

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation

Intervention Type OTHER

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a mode of mechanical ventilation that switches between high (PHigh) and low (PLow) continuous positive airway pressure while allowing spontaneous breathing at both phases. Alveolar recruitment and oxygenation occur during PHigh whereas ventilation occurs during brief releases to PLow.

Low Tidal Volume Ventilation:LOTV

Each participant will serve as his/her own control using our observational crossover study comparing the effects of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation and LOTV on patient intracranial pressure and hemodynamic values.

Low Tidal Volume Ventilation

Intervention Type OTHER

After enrollment and collection of baseline Intracranial pressure and hemodynamic status for 30 minutes the participants will undergo low tidal volume mechanical ventilation (LOTV), serving as a control mode of ventilation. LOTV is most commonly used for trauma patients with lung injury. LOTV provides oxygen in smaller amounts, without overstretching the lungs
