Aim: feasibility and safety study = evaluation of the possibility for a fully automated ventilator to safely manage the ventilation and oxygenation after cardiac surgery
Hypothesis:
Intellivent will maintain the patient with " optimal ventilation " better than during usual management with a minimal number of interventions
Monocentric: IUCPQ, Hôpital Laval, Québec Randomized controlled safety study, unblinded Patients after elective cardiac surgery Two arms Intellivent (fully automatic ventilation) Protocolized ventilation 4 hours study 60 patients planned to be included Primary outcome: number of episodes in the " not acceptable " zone of ventilation and duration
Secondary outcome:
Number of episodes in the " acceptable " zone of ventilation and duration Number of manual settings and duration of interventions Comparison of arterial blood gases Time to wean the FiO2 the PEEP Time to begin the assisted ventilation Duration of mechanical ventilation
