Brief Summary

Mechanical ventilation in critical care is to deliver higher concentrations of oxygen into the lungs and elimination of carbon dioxide and hence curtailing the energy expenditure of patient efforts on breathing. There are several ventilation modes available on mechanical ventilators, each with advantages and disadvantages of their own. Bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation (BIPAP) is a biphasic mode of ventilation which allows spontaneous breathing to promote lung recruitment of poorly ventilated and collapsed alveoli. Biphasic positive airway pressure (BIPAP) mode of ventilation has unique characteristics, limiting the possible lung injury and assist in automatic weaning of patients from ventilator support. Previous studies done in patients having chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and in post-cardiac surgery requiring mechanical ventilation, have shown encouraging results, when kept on BIPAP ventilator mode. The results stimulated us to conduct the proposed randomized prospective study, comparing BIPAP and PRVC mode of ventilation, in post-exploratory laparotomy patients, requiring mechanical ventilation due to acute respiratory failure.
