Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Hemodynamically stable patients, over 18 years old; receiving mechanical ventilation support in ICU after valve surgery (isolated valve surgery or combined with CABG) will be consecutively included. Written informed consent will be obtained from every patient or their surrogates preoperatively.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Preoperative exclusion criteria will be patients older than 80 years or younger than 18 years (ethical reasons), acute or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (primary indication for ventilation), major organ failure (liver disease, renal failure), history of seizure or stoke are excluded preoperatively. Postoperative exclusion criteria will be severe early postoperative hemorrhage (chest tube drainage >500 ml/h), surgical complications needing reoperation, myocardial ischemia (ST-segment depression) lasting more than 30 min, postoperative cardiac failure necessitating high-dose inotropes or intra aortic balloon pump; refractory hypoxemia (ratio of arterial oxygen tension [PaO2] to fraction of inspired oxygen [FIO2] < 150 mmHg), seizure requiring treatment.
