Brief Summary

Although mechanical ventilation remains the cornerstone of ARDS treatment, several experimental and clinical studies have undoubtedly demonstrated that it can contribute to high mortality through the developing of ventilator induced lung injury even in patients with plateau pressure \<30 cmH2O. Since now there are no studies exploring the application of low flow extracorporeal CO2 removal and ultraprotective ventilation to reduce mechanical power, a composite index of VILI, independently from the value of plateau pressure or the severity of hypercapnia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mechanical Power reduction.

    Achievement of Mechanical Power reduction under 18 J/min while maintaining pH and PaCO2 to ± 20% of baseline values obtained at tidal volume of 6 mL/kg. Mechanical Power (MP) (J/min) = 0.098 \* respiratory rate \* tidal volume (inspiratory peak airway pressure - 1/2 \* (airway pressure at end inspiratory pause - airway pressure at PEEP))

    Changes from baseline to day 5.

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Respiratory mechanics.

    Every six hours, every day until the fifth day or until the weaning from ECCO2R if lower than five days

  • Respiratory mechanics.

    Every six hours, every day until the fifth day or until the weaning from ECCO2R if lower than five days

  • Respiratory mechanics.

    Every six hours, every day until the fifth day or until the weaning from ECCO2R if lower than five days

  • Respiratory mechanics.

    Every six hours, every day until the fifth day or until the weaning from ECCO2R if lower than five days

  • Gas exchange.

    Every six hours, every day until the fifth day or until the weaning from ECCO2R if lower than five days

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R), a low flow extracorporeal CO2 removal, may be used in association with ultraprotective mechanical ventilation (tidal volume \< 6 ml/kg and Pplat \<20-25 cmH2O).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, affected by a life-threatening condition characterized by nonhydrostatic pulmonary edema that can be caused by pulmonary (eg, pneumonia, aspiration) or nonpulmonary (eg, sepsis, pancreatitis, trauma) insults and accounts for 10% of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. Mortality remains high ranging from 35% to 46% and it has been estimated that at least 150,000 individuals die each year of adult respiratory distress syndrome.

You may qualify if:

  • ARDS patients undergoing mechanical ventilation with:
  • PaO2/FiO2 \<150 with a level of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 10 cmH2O or higher with a FiO2 \> 0.5
  • Plateau pressure of 28 cmH2O or higher with tidal volume of 6 ml/Kg of ideal body weight
  • Mechanical power of 18 J/min or higher.

You may not qualify if:

  • \<18 years of age
  • Pregnancy
  • Obesity with BMI\> 30
  • Platelets \<30 G/l
  • Decompensated heart failure or acute coronary syndrome
  • Acute brain injury
  • Contraindication for systemic anticoagulation (for example, gastrointestinal bleeding, recent cerebrovascular accident, or chronic bleeding disorder, recent major surgery)
  • Patient moribund, decision to limit therapeutic interventions
  • Catheter access to femoral vein or jugular vein impossible
  • Pneumothorax.
