Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to compare standard mechanical ventilation to a lung-stress oriented ventilation strategy in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Participants will be ventilated according to one of two different strategies. The main question the study hopes to answer is whether the personalized ventilation strategy helps improve survival.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Precision ventilation

The intervention arm prioritizes mitigation of ventilator-induced-lung-injury by individualizing support to patient-specific mechanics in an integrated approach to limit overdistension and atelectrauma. This is accomplished in this arm by titration of tidal volume to limitation of driving pressure at 12 centimeters of water (cmH2O) or less and using esophageal manometry to titrate PEEP to a transpulmonary pressure of 0 cmH2O with adjustments in respiratory rate to allow for permissive hypercapnia and FiO2 adjustments to assure adequate oxygenation.

OTHER

Guided usual care ventilation

The comparison arm allows clinician discretion when titrating PEEP and tidal volume, while setting general targets for allowable PEEP/FiO2 combinations, target range for SpO2, and target range for tidal volume. This arm applies routine best-practice guidelines. This includes maintenance of tidal volumes of 6-8 cc/kg of ideal body weight, limiting plateau pressures to 30 cmH2O or less and application of PEEP-FiO2 combinations which include a wide range of typical usual care with esophageal manometry only for data collection and not clinical adjustment.
