Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether postoperative ventilation with INTELLiVENT-ASV(adaptive support ventilation) in high risk patients, after cardiothoracic surgery, is as effective, more user-friendly and as safe as compared to the conventional modes of ventilation.

Detailed Description

Recently, Hamilton Medical has introduced the new mechanical ventilation mode "INTELLiVENT-ASV". This is a fully closed ventilation mode that can automatically adjust the ventilation settings based on the measured End tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and the measured saturation (SpO2) in both passive and active ventilated patients. Current literature has shown that this mode is safe to use in patients admitted on the intensive care unit. A pilot study in the Catharina Hospital Eindhoven confirmed that in postoperative low risk patients on the intensive care unit INTELLiVENT-ASV is safe. Compared to continuous mandatory or pressure controlled ventilation with pressure support (conventional mechanical ventilation), INTELLiVENT-ASV is even as effective as conventional mechanical ventilation, with a significantly reduced number of interactions with the ventilator. However, available research about the effectiveness of INTELLiVENT-ASV in postoperative high risk patients is lacking. Also the knowledge about the user-friendliness of the above modes of mechanical ventilation for the users is lacking.

This is a prospective randomized study with a control group and a intervention group of postoperative high risk patients. Through randomization will be determined whether the participant, after surgery, will be mechanically ventilated with INTELLiVENT-ASV and Quickwean or with conventional mechanical ventilation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage (%) of mechanical ventilation time in an optimal, acceptable or unacceptable ventilation zone.During the first 3 hours, since admission on the ICU with the start of the intervention ventilation mode.

* An optimal zone = Tidal volume (TV) = 4-8 ml/kg of the predicted body weight (PBW) with an EtCO2 = 30-45mmHg, a plateau pressure = \<31cmH2O and SpO2 = 93-98%.

* An acceptable zone = TV = 8-12 ml/kg of PBW with an EtCO2 = 25-30 or 45-50mmHg, a plateau pressure = 31-35 cmH2O and SpO2 = 85-93% or \>98%.

* An unacceptable zone = TV \>12 ml/kg of PBW or an EtCO2 = \<25 or \>50mmHg, plateau pressure \>35 cmH2O or SpO2 = \<85%.

Postoperative weaning time72 hours

The time from admission on the ICU and a temperature of \>35.5°C until extubation.

Workload72 hours
