Impact of Belt Position on the Results of PEEP Titration by EIT During ARDS
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph Saint Luc de Lyon
Summary
ARDS is a frequent reason for hospitalization in intensive care. In order to improve its management, doctors seek to limit the mechanical ventilation-induced injuries (VILI) that can occur. PEEP is a parameter that plays a role in the appearance of VILI, and its adjustment can be optimized by EIT. The EIT is a non-invasive, non-irradiating, real-time monitoring device, today widely used for the optimization of ventilation in patients intubated for ARDS. The positioning of the EIT belt at different chest heights could influence the result of the PEEP titration.

EIT
Two PEEP titrations monitored by EIT will be performed, each with the electrode belt positioned at a different chest height (2nd intercostal space or 5th intercostal space). The order will be drawn at random.
