How ventilator modes affect abdominal pressure and tube tolerance in ICU patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study observes adult ICU patients on mechanical ventilation to see how ventilation modes relate to intra-abdominal pressure and gastric tube tolerance. It considers commonly used modes like SIMV, BIPAP, and CPAP and how they may affect respiratory and abdominal stresses. The findings could help identify ventilation practices that optimize breathing mechanics while reducing abdominal strain. The study does not assign interventions but rather analyzes real-world ventilation settings and patient responses.
