Mechanical Ventilation

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-90 years

Brief Summary

Central venous pressure (CVP) is characterized by a low-frequency pleural-dependent as well as a high-frequency cardiac pulsatile component. The aim of the study is to compare the low-frequency compon...

Detailed Description

The investigators will enroll mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of respiratory failure monitored with a dedicated nasogastric catheter and a centr...
