Overview
Brief Summary
Doctors follow a standard ventilator management strategy when making adjustments to the breathing machine to optimize the amount of oxygen into the lungs. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the EIT (electrical impedance tomography) device can be an additional useful tool for ventilator management and identifying the ideal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mechanical Power
Time Frame: Participants received Treatment 1 (either Usual Care or PEEP EIT) for approximately 6 hours after randomization and then received Treatment 2 for an additional 14-18 hours following crossover. Measurement was done at end of treatment.
Mechanical power (MP) is the energy imparted to the lung from the mechanical ventilator. It is calculated as listed below, where respiratory rate = RR, tidal volume = TV, Ppeak = peak airway pressure, Pplat = plateau airway pressure and PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure. Mechanical power determined for the difference between Treatment 1 and Treatment 2. Values shown represent data gathered at the end of the designated assignment listed below, regardless of whether that assignment was Treatment 1 or Treatment 2. MP = 0.098 X RR X TV (Ppeak-\[Pplat-PEEP/2\])
