Safety Study to Evaluate Intracranial Pressure During High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation
Not Applicable
Terminated
- Conditions
- Intracranial Pressure
- Registration Number
- NCT00279097
- Lead Sponsor
- Hill-Rom
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) during or immediately following high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) treatment with the Vest™ in neurosurgical subjects.
- Detailed Description
This study is a single site safety study to evaluate changes in intracranial pressure during or immediately following HFCWO treatment with the Vest™ in neurosurgical subjects with intracranial pressure monitors having normal opening pressures and ICP less than or equal to 20 mmHg. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate changes in arterial blood gases that may result with Vest™ therapy in ventilated patients.
