Frequency of Respiratory Acidosis in the Intensive Care Unit After Postoperative Cardiac Surgery. Impact of Using VentilO Application
This is a randomized, open-label study comparing intial settings made by clinicians with settings recommandation made by the VentilO application immediately after intensive care unit admission.The study will allow direct comparison of the frequency of acidosis when patients are ventilated using the parameters of the VentilO application versus parameters chosen by the clinician. The variables determined by the clinician or VentilO will be respiratory rate, tidal volume and resulting minute ventilation.
• Adults (\> 18 years old)
• Intubated patients admitted to intensive care immediately post-operatively after cardiac surgery (all cardiac surgery combined)
• Ventilation in controlled mode (Assist Control or SIMV)
