Mechanical Ventilation
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Mechanical Ventilation focused on measuring Resting Energy Expenditure, Multiple Fracture Ribs, Ventilation

Biphasic Intermittent Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP) group: Following endotracheal intubation BIPAP mode will be started with: Inspiratory positive airway pressure [IPAP] at 20 cmH2O Expiratory positive airway pressure [EPAP] at 5 cmH2O PRESSURE SUPPORT is difference between these two pressures [IPAP]- [EPAP] Mandatory pressure will be delivered at rate of 10-12/min. To produce an end tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure in the range of 35-40 mmHg hypercapnia will not be allowed
Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) group: high airway pressure (Phigh) will be set at 20 cmH2O low airway pressure ( Plow) will be set at 5 cmH2O the release phase setting will be adjusted to terminate the peak expiratory flow rate to ≥ 50%; release frequency of 10-12 cycles/min T high at 4.5-6 seconds T low at 0.5 to 0.8 second
