Multicentre observational study on practice of ventilation in brain injured patients: the VENTIBRAIN study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mechanical ventilatory is a crucial element of acute brain injured patients' management. The ventilatory goals to ensure lung protection during acute respiratory failure may not be adequate in case of concomitant brain injury. Therefore, there are limited data from which physicians can draw conclusions regarding optimal ventilator management in this setting.

Methods and analysis

This is an international multicentre prospective observational cohort study. The aim of the 'multicentre observational study on practice of ventilation in brain injured patients'-the VENTIBRAIN study-is to describe the current practice of ventilator settings and mechanical ventilation in acute brain injured patients. Secondary objectives include the description of ventilator settings amo
