Respiratory Complication

Brief summary

Intra hospital transport of ICU patients is still at high risk of respiratory complications.We propose to determine if endotracheal tube clamping prior to disconnect ventilator allows to avoid oxygenation decrease.

Detailed description

Changing respiratory support and multiples endotracheal tube disconnections may induce a loss of PEEP and finally lead to alveolar derecruitment. This study is an evaluation of a care procedure to limit the incidence of alveolar derecruitment in ventilated intubated ICU patients during transport for CT scan. Intra hospital transport of ICU patients are performed by anesthesiologist nurses, the physician entrusts them this activity. This is a randomized controlled study, the procedure is to clamp endotracheal tube before each disconnection from ventilator.

Interventions

PROCEDUREClamping of the ventilator endotracheal tube

The transport will be released in accordance with SFAR SRLF guideline. Before each disconnection from ventilator endotracheal tube will be clamped.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Measure of the pa02/Fi021 hour after the end of the transportEvaluate the effectiveness of a procedure to avoid alveolar delisting, measured by the absence of a decrease in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio (before transport and 1 hour after return to bed) during an HIT performed by a nurse anaesthetist/caregiver team, of intubated and ventilated resuscitation patients in a controlled assisted volume.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of the pa021 hour after the end of the HITEvaluate the impact of the procedure on the absence of PaO2 reduction (before transport and 1 hour after return to bed)
length of stayup to 28 daysEvaluate the impact of the intervention on the length of ICU stay
duration of invasive ventilationup to 28 daysEvaluate the impact of the intervention on the invasive ventilation
