Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Interventions
Other: head-bed position
Registration Number
NCT02816359
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Esophageal pressure measurements are used in moderate/severe Accurate Respiratory Distress SyndromeARDS patients in order to set ventilator settings. There might be variations of the measured value according to the patient position (0° vs 30°) at the time of measurements.

head-bed positionhead-bed positionHead-bed position at 0° for 30 minutes then head-bed position at 30° for 30 minutes
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total End-expiratory esophageal pressure30min after change of position

After end-expiratory pause on the ventilator, absolute value of the esophageal pressure is measured (in Head-bed position at 30° then in head-bed position at 0° )

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
End-inspiratory esophageal pressure30min after change of position

After end-inspiratory pause on the ventilator, absolute value of the esophageal pressure is measured (in Head-bed position at 30° then in head-bed position at 0° )

Gastric pressure30min after change of position

After end-expiratory pause and end-inspiratory pause on the ventilator, absolute value of the gastric pressure is measured (in Head-bed position at 30° then in head-bed position at 0° )

End-expiratory lung volume30min after change of position

End-expiratory lung volume is measured with nitrogen wash-in wash-out method, available in the ventilator (in Head-bed position at 30° then in head-bed position at 0° )
