Eligibility Criteria

Ages

  • - Provided written informed consent;
  • - Undergoing controlled mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube;
  • - Reason for intubation being exacerbation of asthma or COPD;
  • - Intubated <=72 hours

Exclusion Criteria

  • - Severe sputum stasis or production requiring frequent bronchial suctioning
  • (more than 5 times per nurse shift)
  • - Untreated pneumothorax (i.e. no pleural drainage)
  • - Hemodynamic instability defined as a mean arterial pressure below 60mmHg not
  • responding to fluids and/or vasopressors or a noradrenalin dose >0.5mcrg/kg/min
  • - High (>15 mmHg) or instable (an increase in sedation or osmotherapy is
  • required) intracranial pressure
  • - An inner tube diameter of 6mm or less
  • - Anticipating withdrawal of life support and/or shift to palliation as the
  • goal of care
  • - Inability to perform adequate electrical impedance tomography (EIT)
  • measurements with, e.g.:
  • o Have a thorax circumference inappropriate for EIT-belt
  • o Thoracic wounds, bandages or deformities preventing adequate fit of EIT-belt
  • o Recent (<7 days) pulmonary surgery including pneumonectomy, lobectomy or lung
  • transplantation
  • o ICD device present (potential interference with proper functioning of the EIT
  • device and ICD device)
  • o Excessive subcutaneous emphysema
  • - Contra-indications for nasogastric tube or inability to perform adequate
  • transpulmonary pressure measurements with, e.g.:
  • o Recent esophageal surgery
  • o Prior esophagectomy
  • o Known presence of esophageal varices
