NCT06430554

Brief Summary

This observational study will explore the effects of PEEP and position on regional lung ventilation-perfusion mismatch by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in moderate-to-severe ARDS patients with different lung recruitability.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Ventilation-perfusion matching (V/Q match%)

    corresponding to the pixels that are both ventilated and perfused divided by the total number of pixels ventilated and/or perfused

    Through study completion (within 24 hours)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • percentage of dead space

    Through study completion (within 24 hours)

  • percentage of shunt

    Through study completion (within 24 hours)

  • Respiratory system compliance

    Through study completion (within 24 hours)

  • PaO2/FiO2 ratio

    Through study completion (within 24 hours)

Eligibility Criteria

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Intubated mechanically ventilated ARDS patients.

You may qualify if:

  • age ≥18 years
  • Moderate-to-severe ARDS as per the 2023 ESICM definition
  • Undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation
  • Planned prone position based on the attending physicians' decisions
  • Signed informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • age ≥85 years
  • Pregnancy
  • Severe hemodynamic instability (\> 30% increase in vasopressors in the last 6 hours or norepinephrine \> 0.5 µg/kg/min)
  • Clinically suspected elevated intracranial pressure (\>18 mm Hg)
  • Bronchopleural fistula
  • Contraindication to EIT monitoring (e.g. burns, pacemaker, thoracic wounds limiting electrode belt placement)
  • Severe hypernatremia (\>170mmol/L)
  • Re-admission of patients already enrolled in this study, or patients who are participating in other studies
