Open Suction vs. Closed Suction in ARDS

Izmir Dr Suat Seren Chest Diseases and Surgery Education and Research Hospital20 enrolled

Overview

The alveoli tend to collapse in patients with ARDS. Endotracheal aspiration may increase alveolar collapse by decreasing the end-expiratory lung volume. The hypothesis is that closed endotracheal aspiration led to less end-expiratory volume loss when compared to open endotracheal aspiration.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

End expiratory lung volume (EELV)

End expiratory lung impedance (EELI) will be measured wit electric impedance tomography. Change in EELI representative of change in EELV.

Time frame: One minute before suctioning, 1, 10, 20, 30 minutes after suctioning
