Open Suction vs. Closed Suction in ARDS

Izmir Dr Suat Seren Chest Diseases and Surgery Education and Research Hospital

Status: Completed

Conditions: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Treatments: Procedure: Endotracheal aspiration

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT05537974

IGHCEAH-ICU-7

Details and patient eligibility

About

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.
