Ultra Protective Ventilation Without Extracorporeal Circulation in Severe ARDS Patients (VT4ARDS)

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Interventions
Other: Tidal volume reduction to 4 ml/kg Predicted Body Weight (PBW)
Registration Number
NCT02816372
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Despite the use of protective ventilation, neuromuscular blocking agent and prone position, ARDS mortality remains high (30%-50%) in observational studies, and pneumothorax rate in randomized controlled trial remains stable (10%). The driving pressure (the ratio of tidal volume over respiratory system compliance) has recently been strongly associated with ARDS mortality, suggesting that tidal volume reduction below 6ml/kg may offer mortality benefit. While extracorporeal CO2 removal technique are currently under investigation in association with tidal volume reduction
