About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to test the association between baseline ventilatory parameters (in particular mechanical power (MP), mechanical power normalized to predicted body weight (MP/PBW) and driving pressure (DP) with the baseline neurological status (assessed through the Glasgow coma score) in adults patients under mechanical ventilation with acute neurological injury secondary to stroke, brain trauma or subarachnoid hemorrhage.

The main question\[s\]it aims to answer are:

1. In patients with acute neurological injury under mechanical ventilation, is there a correlation between the acute neurological injury, assessed using the Glasgow scale on admission, and baseline ventilatory parameters? 2. In patients with acute neurological injury under mechanical ventilation, are the baseline ventilatory parameters altered at baseline?

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Correlation between acute neurological injury and mechanical power normalized to predicted body weight

To determine the degree of correlation between acute neurological injury, assessed using the Glasgow coma score \[GCS; with a score between 3 (worst score, most severe) and 15 (best score, least severe)\] and mechanical power normalized to predicted body weight (Joules/minute/kilograms)

Time frame
The first 2 days of the patient on mechanical ventilation (MV)

Secondary outcomes

1

Correlation between acute neurological injury and mechanical power

To determine the degree of correlation between acute neurological injury, assessed using the Glasgow coma score \[GCS; with a score between 3 (worst score, most severe) and 15 (best score, least severe)\] and mechanical power (Joules/minute)

Time frame
The first 2 days of the patient on mechanical ventilation (MV)
2

Correlation between acute neurological injury and ΔP

To determine the degree of correlation between acute neurological injury, assessed using the Glasgow coma score \[GCS; with a score between 3 (worst score, most severe) and 15 (best score, least severe)\] and ΔP (centimeter of water)

Time frame
The first 2 days of the patient on mechanical ventilation (MV)
3

To assess static pressure

To assess the static pressure: Pplat (centimeter of water)

Time frame
The first 2 days of the patient on mechanical ventilation (MV)
4

To assess the respiratory system resistance

To assess the respiratory system resistance: it is the relationship between the difference between peak pressure and static pressure with the inspiratory flow: R = (Ppeak-Pplat)/Inspiratory flow (centimeter of water/liters/second)

Time frame
The first 2 days of the patient on mechanical ventilation (MV)
