Conditions

Ventilator-associated pneumonia, artificial respiration, physical therapy modalities

Interventions

The subjects included in the study (n=20) will be initially positioned in dorsal decubitus with head elevation at 30 degrees and will be submitted to endotracheal suction to clear pulmonary secretion.
• Five cycles with PEEP = 15 cmH2O, driving pressure = 15 cmH2O, on pressure control ventilation mode, and at the end of the inspiratory time of the fifth cycle, PEEP will be rapidly reduced to zero c
• Five cycles with PEEP = 15 cmH2O, tidal volume to achieve a driving pressure of 15 cmH2O, on volume control ventilation mode, and at the end of the inspiratory time of the fifth cycle, PEEP will be

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mean difference of expiratory flow bias (peak expiratory flow minus peak inspiratory flow) between PEEP-ZEEP maneuver applied in pressure control vs. volume control mode of at least 15 L/min.;Mean difference of expiratory flow bias (peak expiratory flow minus peak inspiratory flow) between PEEP-ZEEP maneuver applied with manual thoracic compression vs. without compression of at least 5 L/min.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Equivalence on hemodynamics and respiratory mechanic during the 30-minute-interval after PEEP-ZEEP performance in volume control vs. pressure control, and after PEEP-ZEEP with thoracic compression vs no compression.
