Positive End-expiratory Pressure and Esophageal Catheter Optimal Calibration Volume in ARDS Patients

NCT02945917 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The use of esophageal balloon catheter to estimate pleural pressure has gained renewed popularity in recent years. Indeed, measurement of transpulmonary pressure may allow a more pathophysiological-based approach to ventilator strategy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Nevertheless, it is well known that esophageal balloon catheter derived parameters can be influenced by several patient-related or technical-related factors.

During a PEEP trial, the investigators will observe in-vivo the esophageal pressure and derived measurements obtained using different esophageal balloon calibration volumes.
