Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to investigate the hemodynamic effects of two alveolar recruitment maneuver strategies in critical care patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Detailed Description

Critical care patients are at risk of significant variations in blood volume due to long intervention times, major bleeding or serious pathological conditions, requiring invasive hemodynamic monitoring in routine practice, in order to optimize blood volume and ensure adequate perfusion of the organs, throughout their care.

The installation of an arterial catheter allows continuous monitoring of blood pressure and the realization of blood tests if necessary.

The installation of a central venous line allows the administration of anesthetic drugs and vasopressors as well as an accurate hemodynamic evaluation by transpulmonary thermodilution, which is the most commonly used monitoring in these situations.

After hemodynamic optimization following the monitoring data, the patient will be randomized to one of the two Alveolar Recruitment Maneuver (ARM) order strategies. Mechanical ventilation will be standardized according to current international recommendations (tidal volume between 6 mL.kg-1 and 8 mL.kg-1 of theoretical ideal weight (TIP) for patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS); PEEP equal to 6 cmH2O). Hemodynamic and ventilatory data will be collected (baseline).

The successive realization of the two ARM will then be carried out with collection of the hemodynamic and ventilatory data during the last 10 seconds of each ARM. Between each ARM, conventional ventilation will be resumed for 10 minutes in order to observe a wash-out period, and to allow a return to the baseline state. Data will also be collected as before.

After these measurements have been taken, all management will be left to the discretion of the practitioner caring for the patient.
