Respiratory failure & ventilation
Effects of closed loop ventilation on ventilator settings, patient outcomes and ICU staff workloads – a systematic review
Authors' conclusion
Closed loop ventilation modes are at least as effective in choosing correct ventilator settings as ventilation performed by ICU professionals and have the potential to reduce the workload related to ventilation.
Study context
- Population
- Critically ill patients in the ICU51 studies
- Comparison
- Closed loop ventilation vs conventional ventilation modes
- Outcome
- Ventilator variables and parameters for lung protection
Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
- Closed loop ventilation shows enhanced management of crucial ventilator variables and lung-protection parameters vs conventional ventilation across diverse patient cohorts
Further pooled results
Patient outcomes
- Several studies indicate potential improvements with closed loop ventilation; studies might have been underpowered
ICU professionals' workload
- Reduction of various aspects of workload with closed loop ventilation; no studies studied workload in sufficient detail
Safety
Adverse events
- Seldom reported
