Effect of PEEP Titration on the EELV Measured by the Nitrogen Dilution Technique in ARDS

Not Applicable
Conditions
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Interventions
Procedure: End-expiratory lung volume measurement and incremental PEEP titration
Registration Number
NCT04352725
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Aix-Pertuis
Brief Summary

Mechanical ventilation of the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome is one of the first therapies.

Detailed Description

The application of positive end expiratory pressure is recommended but the question remains "How to set the best positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level for each patient? ". Different titration techniques have been studied on oxygenation and respiratory mechanics parameters without reaching a consensus. Currently we have a module that is connected to the ventilator to collect the patient's lung volume. It will therefore allow us to optimize the settings of the ventilator and to set the best level of positive end-expiratory pressure "best peep" in order to individualize our treatment for each patient.
