Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The effectiveness of IntelliVent-ASV compared to conventional mechanical ventilation: 1. Percentage of mechanical ventilation time in an optimal, acceptable or unacceptable zone. 2. The number of successful extubations (without new intubation 35.5 ° C. User-friendliness of IntelliVent-ASV compared to conventional mechanical ventilation: 1. Based on the measurement of the number of interactions between the caregiver and the ventilator. 2. Survey of usability and acceptance for the caregivers. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The safety of IntelliVent-ASV compared to conventional mechanical ventilation: 1. Percentage of mechanical ventilation time with an oxygen saturation <85%. 2. Percentage of mechanical ventilation time in an unacceptable zone. Reliability of non-invasive measurements by the ventilator: 1. Comparison of the end tidal CO2 and oxygen saturation measured by the mechanical ventilator and the arterial blood gases. 2. Percentage of mechanical ventilation time with the oxygen saturation not measurable. The patient friendliness of IntelliVent-ASV compared to conventional mechanical ventilation: 1. The number, by the caregiver, established agitated moments of the patient. 2. The number of administrations of opiates, benzodiazepines or haloperidol. Postoperative shunting during and after mechanical ventilation: 1. The end tidal CO2 and pCO2, pO2 / FiO2 ratio in arterial blood gases; after about 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 0.5 till 4 hours after extubation. 2. The number of patients with pulmonary atelectasis described on the X-rays of the thorax within 48 hours after surgery. | — |
