Gas Exchange and CT Effects of PEEP in ARDS

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
ARDS
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: ALPE
Registration Number
NCT04067154
Lead Sponsor
Policlinico Hospital
Brief Summary

The study aims to investigate the association between effects of PEEP on gas exchange model parameters and CT scan results

Detailed Description

In ARDS patients on mechanical ventilation, we will compare model-based estimation of gas exchange parameters (shunt, ventilation/perfusion mismatch) with CT-based estimation of effects of low and high PEEP
