Energy Load in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Completed

• Conditions: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

• Registration Number: NCT01878552
• Lead Sponsor: Policlinico Hospital

Brief Summary

The investigator would assess if there is an incremental energy load during mechanical ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients.

Detailed Description

The investigator would study the inspiratory and expiratory pressure volume curve in ARDS patients and investigate if there is a correlation between the energy loss (hysteresis curve) and the severity of disease.
