POVA-TIE: Measurement of Airway Opening Pressure (AOP) in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom and With or Without Covid 19.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Mechanical ventilation in ARDS requires protective ventilation and PEEP. Airway closer has to be overcome to reduce lung heterogeneity, AOP is measured globally with a ventilator PV curve without PEEP. EIT derived PV curve is another method that could determine heterogeneity of AOP between both lung.
This study aims to determine whether AOP measured with EIT derived PV curve is similar to AOP on the ventilator PV curve and see if AOP is different between lungs.
If airway closer is higher on one lung, global AOP on the ventilator PV curve probably estimates the other lung.

Detailed Description
Scientific justification:
In one third of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), tidal inflation starts when an airway opening pressure (AOP) is overcome 1. This phenomenon of airway closure has been underestimated and misinterpreted. Recent research demonstrates that airway closure is a matter of concern as it participates to the heterogeneity of tidal ventilation distribution and it can amplify Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI). The detection of airway closure and the measurement of AOP need a pressure volume curve at low flow and no positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). However, this will measure a global AOP whereas ventilation is heterogeneous between the two lungs in ARDS. EIT is an interesting monitoring tool that could allow EIT derived PV curve construction with measurement of regional AOP2, right vs left lung. The investigor wants to compare global AOP on ventilator PV curve with left and right lung EIT derived AOP measurements. Recent Covid 19 pneumoniae is responsible for numerous acute respiratory distress with severe hypoxemia. Phenotypes are discussed with differences in terms of respiratory mechanics. It is therefore important to describe specifically Covid 19 patients with ARDS.
Strategy description:
Patients with moderate to severe ARDS equipped with EIT will be included. PEEP will be titrated with PEEP-EIT method. A classical low flow PV curve from without PEEP will be done, the acquisition of EIT data during PV curve will be analysed secondary with a dedicated software. PV curve on the ventilator will be analysed to determine if there is an airway closer phenomenon. Reconstruction of EIT derived PV curve will determine, first: if there is a left and/or right lung airway closer phenomenon, and second: the value of each lung AOP.
