Brief Summary

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

Mechanical ventilation in ARDS requires protective ventilation with low VT and PEEP. PEEP titration can improve lung recruitment in the dependent lung but with a risk of overdistension in the non-dependant lung. EIT can measure the distribution of tidal ventilation and assess overdistension and collapse during a PEEP titration in any position (prone or not).

This study aims to measure the best PEEP as a compromise between recruitment and overdistension during a PEEP trial with EIT before and just after PP.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Study group

Patients with moderate or severe ARDS treated with PP equipped with EIT will be included.

Measurement of EIT data and ventilator spirometry in supine position and just after turning the patient in PP during a decremental PEEP-EIT titration, will be done, and blood gases and finally haemodynamic data

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom (ARDS) treated with Prone Position (PP) equipped with Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)

Intervention Type OTHER

Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) will be titrated with PEEP-EIT method as it is already done in usual care. A classical low flow Pression Volume (PV) curve will be done in order to detect airway closure and measure compliance, the acquisition of EIT data during PV curve will be analysed secondary with a dedicated software. Reconstruction of EIT derived PV curve will determine the regional airway opening pressures and compliances of the 2 lungs. Two decremental PEEP-EIT titrations will be compared, one in supine and the other just after turning in prone.
