Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome on the...

Detailed Description

Rationale: During controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) only the inspiration is controlled by either a set driving pressure (Pressure Controlled Ventilation, PCV) or tidal volume (Volume Controlled ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 18 years or older
  • Provided written informed consent
  • Undergoing controlled mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube
  • Meeting all criteria of the Berlin definition of ARDS
  • Hypoxic respiratory failure within 1 week of a known clinical insult or new or worsening respiratory symptoms
  • Bilateral opacities on X-ray or CT-scan not fully explained by effusions, lobar/lung collapse (atelectasis), or nodules
  • Respiratory failure not fully explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload.
  • Oxygenation: moderate ARDS P/F ratio between 101-200 mmHg, severe ARDS PF ratio ≤ 100mmHg, both with PEEP ≥ 5 cmH2O.
  • Intubated ≤72 hours

Exclusion

  • Severe sputum stasis or production requiring frequent bronchial suctioning (more than 5 times per nurse shift)
  • Untreated pneumothorax (i.e., no pleural drainage)
  • Hemodynamic instability defined as a mean arterial pressure below 60mmHg not responding to fluids and/or vasopressors or a noradrenalin dose \>0.5mcrg/kg/min
  • High (\>15 mmHg) or instable (an increase in sedation or osmotherapy is required) intracranial pressure
  • An inner tube diameter of 6mm or less
  • Intubated \> 72 hours
  • Anticipating withdrawal of life support and/or shift to palliation as the goal of care
  • Inability to perform adequate electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurements with, e.g.:
  • Have a thorax circumference inappropriate for EIT-belt
  • Thoracic wounds, bandages or deformities preventing adequate fit of EIT-belt
  • Recent (\<7 days) pulmonary surgery including pneumonectomy, lobectomy or lung transplantation
  • ICD device present (potential interference with proper functioning of the EIT device and ICD device)
  • Excessive subcutaneous emphysema
  • Contra-indications for nasogastric tube or inability to perform adequate transpulmonary pressure measurements with, e.g.:
  • Recent esophageal surgery
  • Prior esophagectomy
  • Known presence of esophageal varices
  • Severe bleeding disorders
