Trunk Inclination, Positive End-expiratory Pressure, and Lung Recruitability
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Specific lung recruitment maneuvers and decremental PEEP steps: Specific lung recruitment maneuvers will be performed to measure the potential for lung recruitment. Followed by a decremental PEEP steps to determine lung mechanics at different PEEP levels. These process will be repeated when patients change to another position. Electrical impedance tomography signals, synchronized signals of airway pressure and flow, esophageal pressure will be recorded continuously.
Study summary
This multicenter, physiological, observational study hypothesizes that in moderate to severe ARDS, trunk inclination unloads the chest wall, but its impact on lung mechanics depends on PEEP levels and lung recruitability.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Transpulmonary driving pressure (ΔPL) — 2 hour
Physiological parameter calculated as end-inspiratory transpulmonary pressure minus end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure. Transpulmonary pressure is monitored continuously in real time using an esophageal balloon catheter.
