About this trial

'POStoperative INTELLiVENT-adaptive support VEntilation in cardiac surgery patients II (POSITiVE II) is an investigator-initiated, international, multicenter, parallel, randomized clinical trial in patients after cardiac surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1. aged > 18 years of age;

2. scheduled for elective cardiac surgery; and

3. expected to receive postoperative ventilation in the ICU for > 2 hours.

Disqualifiers

any emergency or semi-elective surgery (precluding informed written consent);

any surgery other than CABG, valve replacement or repair, or a combination (i.e., patients planned for surgery for congenital heart disease, or scheduled for heart transplantation are excluded);

enrolled in another interventional trail;

no written informed consent obtained;

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Quality of ventilation

The primary outcome is quality of ventilation, which is the proportion of time spent in three predefined and previously used zones of ventilation in the first 2 hours of postoperative ventilation. * 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%.

Time frame
During the first 2 hours, since admission on the ICU with the start of the intervention ventilation mode.

Secondary outcomes

1

ICU nursing staff workload

ICU nursing staff workload, which is captured by the ventilator software collecting data on alarms (number of alarms, types of alarm, duration of alarm, responses to alarm, alarm settings and adjustments, breath-by-breath alarm data, and any manual intervention at the ventilator) during postoperative care in the ICU

Time frame
24 hours
2

Duration of postoperative ventilation

The time from admission on the ICU until extubation.

Time frame
8 hours or until extubation
3

Patient-ventilator asynchrony

patient-ventilator asynchrony requiring deepening of sedation and/or administration of muscle relaxants

Time frame
Up to 6 hours of mechanical ventilation time
4

Proportion of breath spent in zones of ventilation

Proportion of breaths spent in predefined and previously used zones of ventilation in the first 6 hours of postoperative ventilation. * 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%.

Time frame
Up to 6 hours of mechanical ventilation time
