Brief Summary

Spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation has been recommended in patients with ARDS and is currently used. in part because oxygenation is better and there is a lower risk of diaphragm dysfunction due to disuse. The other approach to minimizing lung injury from spontaneous effort is the use of neuromuscular blockade; an early and short term (48 hours) of neuromuscular blockade in patients with severe ARDS has been shown to decrease inflammation and to improve survival. The investigators propose a pilot study to test the feasibility and the physiological effects of allowing spontaneous breathing in the prone position in patients with ARDS.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients ≧ 18 years old
  • Patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS as per the Berlin definition
  • Patients with esophageal balloon manometry
  • Patients planned to turn to prone positioning, based on the attending physician's decisions

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindication for prone positioning, referring to a previous randomized clinical trial
  • Intracranial pressure \>30 mm Hg or cerebral perfusion pressure \<60 mmHg
  • Massive hemoptysis requiring an immediate surgical or interventional radiology procedure
  • Tracheal surgery or sternotomy during the previous 15 days
  • Serious facial trauma or facial surgery during the previous 15 days
  • Cardiac pacemaker inserted in the last 2 days
  • Unstable spine, femur, or pelvic fractures
  • Major hemodynamic instability:
  • Mean arterial pressure lower than 60 mm Hg despite adequate fluid resuscitation and two vasopressors or increase of vasopressor dose by 30% in the previous 6 hours.
  • Contraindication to EIT electrode placement Burns, chest wall bandaging limiting electrode placement, pacemaker
  • Clinical judgement of the attending physician against proning and/or spontaneous breathing
