简要总结
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by damage to the alveolar-capillary membrane, resulting in hypoxemia, decreased pulmonary compliance, and hemodynamic changes.
Critical conditions (hypoxia; septic shock associated with ARDS) can alter blood viscosity. These changes in viscosity can affect blood flow and hemodynamics.
There is only one clinical study that has measured one of the determinants of blood viscosity in ARDS (deformability), even though other parameters are involved in viscosity (elongation, deformability, hematocrit, etc.), and it is possible to measure blood viscosity comprehensively. To date, therefore, no study has evaluated the various parameters of blood viscosity in ARDS.
The aim of this study is to investigate hyperviscosity in patients with ARDS and to assess whether this hyperviscosity correlates with respiratory or hemodynamic changes.
The investigators will therefore compare blood viscosity and its determinants in patients admitted to the intensive care unit for ARDS and in patients admitted for other reasons (excluding ARDS or sepsis/septic shock).
The investigators will also conduct a longitudinal assessment of changes in hemodynamic, respiratory, and viscosity parameters during ARDS

结局指标
主要结局
Comparison of Blood Viscosity in Patients with ARDS and Control Group on Day 1
时间窗: At day 1
Blood viscosity will be determined after complete oxygenation of the blood, at native hematocrit, at a temperature of 25 °C. Measurements will be performed at different shear rates (11.5, 22.5, 45, 90, and 225 s-¹) using a cone-plate viscometer (Brookfield DVII+ equipped with a CPE40 cone, Brookfield Engineering Labs, Natick, MA, USA). This technique is based on applying a well-defined shear rate gradient between a moving conical surface and a fixed flat surface, with the blood sample placed between them. The fluid subjected to this shear resists flow in proportion to its viscosity. The higher the viscosity, the greater the torque required to maintain motion. This approach allows for the precise measurement of the apparent viscosity of blood across a wide range of mechanical stresses, replicating the flow conditions encountered in the bloodstream. The value at 225 s-¹ will be used as the primary endpoint (with an accuracy of 5-10 centipoise at this shear rate).
