Official Title: | Phase 2 Study of Negative Pressure Ventilation That Imapcts Weaning Ventilator in Medical Intensive Care Units |
Study Start Date : | March 2010 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | March 2011 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | March 2011 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control group
Base on positive pressure ventilation with intubation and mechanical ventilator, weaning processes will undergo by Pulmonologists.
|
|
Experimental: Experimental group
Experimental group is weaning with the support of negative pressure ventilator.
|
Behavioral: negative pressure ventilator use
Body ventilators that assist ventilation by applying intermittent subatmospheric pressure around the thorax, abdomen, or airway and periodically expand the chest wall and inflate the lungs. They are relatively simple to operate and do not require tracheostomy. Chest cuirass is used in this study. |
- Ventilator weaning rate [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
- ICU stay [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
