Gas Exchange and CT Effects of PEEP in ARDS
- 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

Group Intervention Description ALPE-TAC ALPE ARDS patients on mechanical ventilation. Measurement of CT scan at PEEP of 5, 20 and 45 cm H2O to evaluate potential for recruitment and measurement of gas exchange by model-based method and FiO2 titration at PEEP of 5 and 20 cm H2O
- Primary Outcome Measures

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Physiologic Parameter 1 Approximately two hours Hemodynamic assessment at different PEEP levels
Physiologic Parameter 2 Approximately two hours Respiratory mechanics at different PEEP levels
