BURN-ASV Trial: Adaptive Support Ventilation in Severe Burn Injury
Sponsor: Ukrainian Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Therapy
Summary
Severe burn injury frequently requires prolonged mechanical ventilation because of inhalation injury, respiratory failure, systemic inflammation, and repeated surgical procedures. Patients with extensive burns are at high risk of ventilator-associated complications, prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and death. Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) is an automated mode of mechanical ventilation that continuously adjusts breathing support according to the patient's respiratory needs and lung mechanics. Although ASV has shown potential benefits in general ICU populations, its effectiveness in patients with severe burn injuries has not been adequately studied. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare Adaptive Support Ventilation with conventional lung-protective mechanical ventilation in critically ill adult burn patients, including those with inhalation injury, drone-related burns, and thermobaric blast burns. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ASV or conventional ventilation. The study will evaluate whether ASV improves ventilator-free days, reduces duration of mechanical ventilation, decreases ventilator-associated complications, and improves clinical outcomes. The results of this study may help identify optimal ventilation strategies for patients with severe burn injuries and improve critical care management in both civilian and military burn centers.

Conditions
Interventions
Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV)
Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) is a closed-loop mode of invasive mechanical ventilation that automatically adjusts respiratory rate, tidal volume, inspiratory pressure, and minute ventilation according to patient respiratory mechanics and predicted physiologic requirements while maintaining lung-protective ventilation principles.
Conventional Lung-Protective Mechanical Ventilation
Conventional invasive mechanical ventilation delivered using pressure-controlled or volume-controlled modes according to institutional standards of care and lung-protective ventilation principles, including low tidal volume ventilation and limitation of airway pressures.
