Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Pulmonary Ventilation | Device: Aisys Carestation ventilator and normal endotracheal tube Device: Evone ventilator and Tritube | Phase 3 |

Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 8 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Patients undergoing craniotomy will be ventilated during surgery using both conventional VCV and FVC modes. Standard baseline VCV is used for induction and stabilization of anesthesia. The order of ventilation mode is randomly assigned. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |

Active Comparator: Volume Controlled Ventilation
Volume Controlled Ventilation with Aisys Carestation ventilator and normal endotracheal tube'
|
Device: Aisys Carestation ventilator and normal endotracheal tube
Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FIO2) 0.3 End Expiratory Pressure (EEP) at +5 cm H2O Ratio of duration of inspiration to the duration of expiration (I:E ratio) 1:1 Tidal Volume: 6 mL/kg Zero inspiratory pause Respiratory frequency will be adapted to produce an End-Tidal CO2 35-40 mmHg |
Active Comparator: Flow Controlled Ventilation
Flow Controlled Ventilation with Evone ventilator and Tritube
|
Device: Evone ventilator and Tritube
Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FIO2) 0.3 Ratio of duration of inspiration to the duration of expiration (I:E ratio) 1:1 End Expiratory Pressure (EEP) at +5 cm H2O Flow: start with 10 L/min and adjusted along with the peak inspiratory pressure to produce a tidal volume of 6 mL/kg and End-Tidal CO2 35-40 mmHg |
- Observation of systemic arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) values in both ventilation modes during normocapnia (PE'CO2 35-40 mm Hg) . [ Time Frame: Following stable ventilation for 15 minutes in randomised ventilation modus, data collection starts and ends before start of surgery. ]Following stable ventilation for 15 minutes with respect to randomised ventilation mode, arterial blood gas will be taken.
