Feasibility of Tidal Volume Strategies in Subacute Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Randomized Trial
By Korupolu R, Stampas A, Lohiya S and 8 others.
Abstract
Objectives
To assess feasibility of comparing moderate-low (8-10 mL/kg predicted body weight [PBW]) tidal volume (mLVT) versus moderate-high (14-16 mL/kg PBW) tidal volume (mHVT) strategies, and to generate exploratory data on respiratory outcomes and systemic inflammation in individuals with subacute cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) requiring mechanical ventilation (MV).
