Summary

Rationale Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a frequent cause of hypoxemic respiratory failure with a mortality rate of approximately 30%. The identification of ARDS phenotypes, based on focal or non-focal lung morphology, can be helpful to better target mechanical ventilation strategies of individual patients. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a non-invasive tool that can accurately distinguish 'focal' from 'non-focal' lung morphology. The investigators hypothesize that LUS-guided personalized mechanical ventilation in ARDS patients will lead to a reduction in 90-day mortality compared to conventional mechanical ventilation.

Conditions

  • ARDS, Human
  • Lung Ultrasound
  • Mechanical Ventilation

Interventions

OTHER

Personalized ventilation

Patients who are randomized for personalized ventilation with FOCAL ARDS will receive the following ventilator settings: * Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ≤ 9 cm water (H2O) * Tidal volume: 6 to 8 mL/kg predicted body weight (PBW) * Daily prone positioning LUS will be repeated every 48-72 hours in supine position for the focal ARDS patients to assess whether they have developed non-focal ARDS during admission. In that case, patients will from then on be treated according non-focal personalized treatment protocol. Patients who are randomized for personalized ventilation with Non-FOCAL ARDS will receive the following ventilator settings: * PEEP ≥ 15 cm H2O * Tidal volume: 4 to 6 mL/kg PBW * Daily recruitment maneuver

OTHER

Standard care

Patient who are randomized in the control group will receive standard care * Tidal volume: 6 mL/kg PBW * PEEP and FiO2 according to the low PEEP and high fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) table of the AlVEOLI study * Prone positioning if the Partial Pressure of Oxygen (PaO2) /FiO2 ratio is \< 150 mmHg
