Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the use of ultra-protective ventilation, where very low ventilation volumes are used, in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) meeting criteria to nurse in the prone position. Half the patients will receive ultra-protective ventilation support by extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal, while the other half will receive conventional lung protective ventilation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Current best practices for management of severe ARDS include lung protective ventilation and nursing in the prone position. However, the best lung protective strategy is not currently established and using smaller ventilation volumes than standard lung protective ventilation suggest lung recovery is improved.

Application of smaller ventilation volumes requires extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal, using a device similar to a dialysis to remove carbon dioxide directly from the blood. One such device in the Prismalung, it removes blood through a catheter, much like a dialysis catheter, pumps it through a gas exchange cartridge which removes carbon dioxide. The gas exchange cartridge functions in a similar way to a dialysis filter, except it allow gases to pass through, unlike dialysis filters which allow passage of fluid and small molecules.

Conventional lung protective ventilation

Lung protective ventilation (6ml/kg predicted body weight). All other interventions per intensive care unit standardised ARDS management protocol

Conventional Lung Protective Ventilation

Intervention Type OTHER

Ventilation with 6ml/kg predicted body weight

Ultra-protective ventilation

Ultra-protective ventilation (\</= 3ml/kg predicted body weight) targeting plateau pressure of \</= 25 cmH2O, supported by Prismalung. All other intervention per intensive care unit standardised ARDS management protocol

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Prismalung

Intervention Type DEVICE

Prism lung (Baxter Healthcare/Gambro Lund, Sweden) is an extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal device. It removes blood through a double lumen catheter and pumps it through a hollow fiber gas exchange cartridge which is impervious to fluid. Carbon dioxide diffuses out, down a concentration gradient which is maintained by sweep gas flowing through the centre of the hollow fibres. The decarboxylated blood is returned to the patient through the double lumen catheter.

Ventilation with \</= 3ml/kg predicted body weight
