Primary outcomePrimary: Incidence of Pulmonary Complications. — 1; 1 participants — p=1.00
Summary
Intensive care unit (ICU) patients on respirators are at high risk for preventable pulmonary complications (PPC). Turning these patients from side to side may reduce PPC, but carries the burden of decreases in blood pressure and oxygenation. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in PPC or adverse events when ICU patients on respirators are turned by nurses or by an automated turning bed.
