Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research is to evaluate a different way of using the mechanical ventilator device to help better protect the lungs while the patient recovers. We will compare VentCoach to the current standard mechanical ventilation techniques used in our Intensive Care Units.

Study Groups

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

Standard of Care

Patients randomized to the standard of care group will continue to receive ventilator management per the ARDSnet-based protocol

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard of Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Intubated patients will be managed per the standard of care ARDSnet-based mechanical ventilation management at Mayo Clinic, with routine RT/MD assessments, and ventilator setting changes as necessary for the treatment of the patient.

VentCoach

Patients randomized to the VentCoach group, in addition to the standard of care, will also receive intermittent ventilator setting adjustments per the VentCoach protocol

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VentCoach

Intervention Type OTHER

VentCoach, a mechanical power-guided lung protective ventilation protocol, will be used to set ventilator adjustments.

VentCoach ventilator assessments and adjustments will be performed within one hour after enrollment, and then every 4 hours thereafter

Standard of Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Intubated patients will be managed per the standard of care ARDSnet-based mechanical ventilation management at Mayo Clinic, with routine RT/MD assessments, and ventilator setting changes as necessary for the treatment of the patient.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients with acute hypoxemic and/or hypercapnic respiratory failure.
* Patients requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours.
* VentCoach protocol is specific to volume controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (S-CMV).
* Patient who are admitted to RMH 10-3/10-4 and MB 6BGF ICUs.
* Age greater than or equal to 18 years.
* Patient's legal representative should be able to provide informed consent to the study. Any participant speaking any language will be offered participation.

Exclusion Criteria

* Intubation and mechanical ventilation for airway protection in the setting of procedures/surgeries, e.g. interventional radiology, surgery, or endoscopy.
* Intubation and mechanical ventilation due to drug overdose with expected extubation of less than 24 hours.
* Intubation and mechanical ventilation in the setting of cardiac arrest.
* Intubation and mechanical ventilation for a primary neurological etiology, e.g. increased intracranial pressure, tumor mass effect, ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke, status epilepticus, etc.
* Mechanical ventilation to be guided by esophageal balloon.
* Subject deprived of freedom, minor, subject under a legal protective measure.
* Change in end-of-life decision anticipated after enrollment (or estimated 6-month mortality rate of greater than 50%).
