- Original description
All patients undergoing an implantation of a durable left ventricular assist device and monitored by pulmonary artery catheter showing no adverse events after surgery are included in the study and ventilated for 15 minutes using extra thoracic negative pressure ventilation and usual intrathoracic positive pressure ventilation. Hemodynamics changes between both ventilation modes, especially focussing on right ventricular function and measured by a pulmonary artery catheter, are compared.Read full original descriptionShow less
Effects of Negative Pressure Ventilation Onto Hemodynamics and Right Ventricular Funktion in Patients After Implantation of a Left Ventricular Assist Device.
All patients undergoing an implantation of a durable left ventricular assist device and monitored by pulmonary artery catheter showing no adverse events after surgery are included in the study and ventilated for 15 minutes using extra thoracic negative pressure ventilation and usual intrathoracic positive pressure ventilation. Hemodynamics changes between both ventilation modes, especially focussing on right ventricular function and measured by a pulmonary artery catheter, are compared.
Inclusion: All patients after implantation of a durable left ventricular assist device.
Exclusion: Complication during surgery like bleeding, emergency, inability to fit the cuirass, unavailability of an investigator, unstable condition regarding circulation or ventilation.
