All
Age
1 Months to 12 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: aged 4 weeks - 12 years, endotracheal tube 3,5-6,5, invasive BIPAP-ventilation per EVITA with Fi02 < 40%, spontaneous ventilation of 60 %.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: severe lung pathology, Fi02 > 40%, large tube leak, < 60% spontaneous ventilation, cardiovascular failure (more than 5 µg/kg/min dopamine), neurological disease (e.g. epilepsy, cerebral edema), necessity for neuromuscular blockade or deep analgosedation leading to <60 % of spontaneous ventilation, severe hepatic or kidney failure, missing parental consent.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
With the ATC-mode switched on, we expect a reduction of work of breathing. The primary endpoint is the work of breathing. The pressure flow is measured and subsequently the work of breathing is calculated offline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary endpoints are Fi02, C02, oxygen-saturation, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure. We expect the parameters of oxygenation and ventilation (Fi02-reduction, C02-decrease, improvement of saturation, clinical reduction in the patients' effort of breathing, e.g. reduction of respiratory rate) to improve, as well as stress reduction (normocardia, normotonia) when the ATC-mode is switched on.
