Brief Summary

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

The effects of different degrees of head-of-bed elevation on respiratory mechanics are poorly explored in the literature, and no study has investigated such effects using electrical impedance tomography, esophageal and gastric balloons to identify the ideal angle for optimizing respiratory mechanics. The hypothesis is that there is a optimal degree for the respiratory mechanics.

Detailed Description

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

Respiratory mechanics and regional ventilation will be monitored using electrical impedance tomography (Enlight 2100, Timpel Medical®, Brazil) . Esophageal and gastric pressures will be obtained through esophageal and gastric balloon catheters (Nutrivent®) (validation concerning to modified Baydur maneuver - slope delta esophageal pressure/delta airway pressure (0,8-1,2). We are using the hardware Pneumodrive (Biônica, Recife, Brazil) to record and store the esophageal, gastric and airway pressures, these data will be analyzed using LabVIEW 7.1 (Pneumobench).

Initially, patients will be positioned at 0 degrees of head-of-bed elevation, and after stabilization of the plethysmogram, data from electrical impedance tomography, hemodynamics, and arterial blood gas will be collected (arterial blood will be drawn by a nurse or physician). Sequentially and in the same manner, the bed will be adjusted to 10, 20, 30, and 40 degrees (the same data will be collected, except for the arterial blood sample, which will only be collected at the 40-degree elevation). Then, an alveolar recruitment maneuver will be performed, followed by a PEEP titration with 10-degree of head-of-bed elevation.

Study Groups

Sequential head-of-bed elevation

Patients will be positioned at 0 degrees of head-of-bed elevation, and after stabilization of the plethysmogram, data from electrical impedance tomography, hemodynamics, and arterial blood gas will be collected (arterial blood will be drawn by a nurse or physician). Sequentially and in the same manner, the bed will be adjusted to 10, 20, 30, and 40 degrees (the same data will be collected, except for the arterial blood sample, which will only be collected at the 40-degree elevation). Then, an alveolar recruitment maneuver will be performed, followed by a PEEP titration with 10-degree of head-of-bed elevation, and the data will be collected just as in the 0° and 40° steps.

Group Type OTHER

Sequencial increasing of head of the bed elevation and alveolar recruitment maneuver followed by a PEEP titration with 10° of head of the elevation

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will be sequentially positioned at 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 degrees of head-of-bed elevation. An alveolar recruitment maneuver will be performed. For patients with body mass index ≤ 30 kg/m\^2, the maneuver will be conducted in pressure control mode, pressure control = 15 cmH2O, respiratory rate = 20 breaths per minute, and the PEEP will be increased in steps of 5 up to 30 cmH2O. For patients with body mass index \> 30, the PEEP will be increased up to 35. Then, a PEEP titration will be performed, tidal volume = 5 mL/Kg, respiratory rate = 25 breaths per minute, and the PEEP will be decreased from 24 down to 4 cmH2O in steps of 2 cmH2O with 30 seconds in each PEEP level. The PEEP titration software of Enlight 2100 will be used to determine the ideal PEEP, defined as the PEEP level with a collapse less than 5%. The alveolar recruitment maneuver will be performed again to reopen the lungs. Then, data will be collected, as with the 0 and 40-degree steps, with ideal PEEP.
