Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In this study gas-exchange and respiratory mechanics variations to PEEP change will be correlated to CT lung morphological modifications assessed at different airway pressures (5, 15, 30 and 45 cmH2O).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Radiation: Chest computed tomography

Prospective
Official Title:
Evaluation of the Lung Recruitment and End-expiratory Lung Collapse in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Study Start Date :

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
ARDS

Sedated and mechanically ventilated patients admitted to ICU

Radiation: Chest computed tomography

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Computer Tomography (CT) scan lung recruitment and CT lung weight [Study day (day 1)]

    Aim of the study is to determine the relationship between the opening pressures (recruitment) and closing pressures (PEEP) in order to prevent the opening and closing of the lung parenchyma
