Primary Endpoint
Persistent neuroinflammation is measured by the intensity of the [18F]-DPA-714 signal obtained in PET-MRI imaging at 24 months (+24 months) after discharge from intensive care on the 2 frontal lobes (freesurfer segmentation, the signal intensity being the ratio of the measurement made in the frontal lobes to that made in the cerebellar lobes. Standard fixation will be expressed as an indexed value relative to the control value.

Overview

Brief Summary

To evaluate whether treatment with dexmedetomidine at the end of sedation to prevent or treat delirium following post-COVID-19 ARDS reduces persistent neuroinflammation measured by an increase in the radio pharmaceutical DPA in the frontal lobes and detected using PET-MRI at 24 months (+24 months) after discharge from intensive care.

Standard fixation will be expressed as an indexed value relative to the control value.

The intensity of the [18F]-DPA-714 signal is the standard uptake value which will be measured in each region of interest (frontal lobes and cerebellar lobes = reference) and related to the quantity of radioactivity injected for the examination. The ratio of SUV in the frontal lobes to SUV in the cerebellar lobes will give us the radioligand uptake ratio for the area of interest.

Secondary Outcomes

  • - To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine treatment on acquired neurocognitive damage using clinical assessment scores at 24 months (+24 months) after discharge from intensive care of patients hospitalised for ARDS with COVID-19 ;
  • - To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine treatment on neurocognitive lesions acquired with diffusion tensor brain MRI at 24 months (+24 months) after discharge from intensive care following COVID ARDS.
  • - To assess the association between immunological, transcriptomic and epigenomic biological data likely to promote or protect against the persistence of a neuroinflammatory state remote from a severe COVID-19 infection 24 months (+24 months) after discharge from intensive care.
  • - To identify the clinical and pharmacological risk factors (in particular the sedative treatments used for ventilatory weaning) for the occurrence of late neuroinflammation defined by an increase in DPA on PET-MRI in the frontal lobes and other regions of interest at 24 months (+24 months) after discharge from intensive care
