Inclusion Criteria

In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all
of the following criteria:

• Adult (male >= 20 years of age and female >= 20 years of age) patients
• Mechanically ventilated
• Patient meets the criteria for non-resolving ARDS as at day 5 of the ARDS
diagnosis one or more of the following criteria is true:
o P/F ratio <300 mmHg
o Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) at 12 cmH2O or more
o Static lung compliance of < 50 ml/cmH2O
• Deemed safe for transport by treating clinician (staff Intensivist)
• Informed consent signed by patient or relative

and one or more of the following criteria is true:
o P/F ratio <300 mmHg
o Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) at 12 cmH2O or more
o Static lung compliance of < 50 ml/cmH2O
• Deemed safe for transport by treating clinician (staff Intensivist)
• Informed consent signed by patient or relative

Exclusion Criteria

A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded
from participation in this study:

• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Inability to attain informed consent
• Too unstable for transport as judged by the treating staff intensivist

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To quantify pulmonal fibroblast activity via [68Ga]-FAPI PET in non-resolving<br /><br>ARDS patients in the ICU and the relation with disease specific survival,<br /><br>length of stay at the ICU and ventilator free days at day 28.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To study the relationship between pulmonal [68Ga]-FAPI uptake and systemic<br /><br>blood markers of inflammation and extracellular matrix remodelling.</p><br>
