Clinical Trial: Evaluation of Variable Pressure Support Ventilation in the Therapy of Acute Lung Injury

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Evaluation of Variable Pressure Support Ventilation in the Therapy of Acute Lung Injury (EVA-Trial)

Brief Summary: Variable pressure support during assisted spontaneous breathing (noisy PSV) has been shown to improve the respiratory function in experimental acute lung injury (ALI). We aimed at comparing the effects of noisy PSV with traditional PSV on the respiratory function of patients suffering from ALI.
