About this trial

This study aim to compare the effect of Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) on ventilation/perfusion mismatch in two phenotypes of patients with moderate-to-severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), characterized by their respiratory system elastance (Ers). Ventilation/perfusion mismatch will be assessed by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

intubated patients with moderate and severe ARDS (Berlin definition, PaO2/FiO2 ≤200 mmHg at PEEP 5 cmH2O)

between 24 hours and 5 days after intubation.

Disqualifiers

age <18 years old; pregnancy

patient undergoing legal protection

contra-indications to EIT (e. g. severe chest trauma or wounds)

pneumothorax; patient undergoing ECMO
