Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of deepening of sedation on intra-abdominal pressure in mechanically ventilated adult patients with intra-abdominal hypertension.
Detailed Description:
The importance of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in critically ill patients has been addressed increasingly. Several studies have shown that elevated mean IAP is associated with adverse ICU outcomes. The prevalence of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) among critically ill patients is as high as 50% if defined according to maximal IAP and half of it if defined according to mean IAP. Development of IAH during ICU period is an independent risk factor for death. Considering such significant impact on patients' outcome, international conference of experts has agreed and published recommendations for treatment of IAH and abdominal compartment syndrome. Among others, deepening of sedation is suggested as treatment option. The recommendation is based on expert opinion; there are no controlled clinical studies available to support this approach. Importantly, recent studies have shown that deep sedation itself may be associated with worse outcome to patients. Treggiari et al suggest that a strategy of light sedation affords benefits with regard to reduction of intensive care unit stay and duration of ventilation without negatively affecting subsequent patient mental health or patient safety. Others have shown reduced ICU mortality as well as reduced incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in conjunction with light sedation.
This is a prospective, interventional, multicentre study. There will be no control group.
Study subjects:
Adult, mechanically ventilated patients with IAP between 12 and 20 mmHg in at least two consecutive measurements, spontaneous breathing activity of at least 6 breaths/minute, RASS score between 0 and -4, if no contraindications to propofol administration are present and no other interventions to reduce IAP are planned.
Study intervention:
Sedation deepening will be achieved with a bolus of propofol 1 mg/kg followed by continuous infusion of propofol 3 mg/kg/h for one hour. Patients previously receiving propofol infusion will receive supplemental propofol per protocol up to a maximum infusion rate of 5 mg/kg/h.
Series of measurements of IAP will be performed before (once) and after (repeatedly) intervention (deepening of sedation).
Deepness of sedation will be assessed with RASS score.
