Eit in ArdS for Tcav Setting (EAST Study)

Sponsor: Central Hospital, Nancy, France

Summary

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute respiratory failure. The therapeutic management is currently based on the treatment of the cause of ARDS, and on mechanical ventilation with positive expiratory pressure (PEEP). Another strategy that could be used is Time Controlled Adaptive Ventilation (TCAV) method based on ventilation using the airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) mode. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) allows individual, non-invasive, real-time, bedside, radiation-free imaging of an anteroposterior section of the right and left lungs, with global and regional dynamic analyses. The aim of the study is to evaluate EIT for PHigh titration of TCAV.
