Sleep's deficiencies are very common in intensive care. Mechanical ventilation is a known factor in this deterioration.The investigators hypothesize that close-loop ventilation mode (Intellivent-ASV) is able to minimize sleep deterioration, adjusting ventilation to the patient needs.
In intensive care, conventional mechanical ventilation (pressure support) generates apneas and asynchronies during sleep. Intellivent-ASV would be able to avoid apneas, providing controlled cycles when respiratory rate become too low. Moreover, the constant adjustment of ventilatory parameters to the patient needs would avoid asynchronies between the ventilator and the patient ventilatory drive.
