A Validation/Interventional Study on Stress Index in Predicting Mechanical Stress in ARDS Patients

NCT00465374 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2007-04-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

30% of ARDS patients ventilated according to NIH protocol presents CT scan evidence of hyperinflation. Functional analysis of pressure-time curve (Stress Index=SI) has been shown to identify this condition in experimental settings. We tested the hypothesis that the SI is an accurate predictor of mechanical stress due to overdistention in ARDS patients.
