Stability of Driving Pressure Changes During "Best Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)" Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to better understand in changes in lung compliance as indicated by driving pressure (a non-invasive marker) following changes in positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP; a standard of care ventilator parameter).
The main question it aims to answer is: The time to stability of driving pressure after a change in PEEP is made Type of study: observational study participant population/health conditions
Participants will undergo a "best PEEP trial" which is a standard intensive care intervention for patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. This involves changing the patient's PEEP and looking for response in driving pressure. This will be done in a more protocolized format and data will be collected.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Stability of change in Driving Pressure after PEEP manipulation [10 minutes total]
Our study attempts to find the time point when driving pressure reaches stability. The primary outcome will be the first time point (3 breaths, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes) where driving pressure is not statistically different from the baseline measurement.
