Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of INTELLiVENT-ASV (Adaptive Support Ventilation) in adult ICU patients comparing to non automated ventilation.

Detailed description

EASiVENT is a prospective, multicenter, randomized (1:1), Controlled Study. This study is single-blind because only the subject will be unaware of the ventilation modality administered. The reference treatment used for comparison is a combination of controlled modes for passive subjects (volume control or pressure control) and assisted/spontaneous modes for active subjects (synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation or pressure support)

Interventions

INTELLiVENT-ASV is software accessory that automatically adjust ventilation and oxygenation variables to keep the patient within clinician-set target ranges.

DEVICENon-automated ventilation

In conventional ventilation modes, clinicians adjust and modify the oxygenation and ventilation parameters manually.
