No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how low tidal volume ventilation (LTV) and airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) affect lung tissue mechanics in adults with ARDS. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does LTV or APRV improve lung tissue mechanics in patients with ARDS under mechanical ventilation? Researchers will compare LTV and APRV to see which ventilation mode works better for improving lung mechanics and patient safety.

Conditions

  • ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome)

Interventions

DEVICE

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV)

In this arm, participants will receive airway pressure release ventilation (APRV), a form of pressure-controlled mechanical ventilation. The high pressure (Phigh) is set based on the plateau pressure of the LTV mode, with a low pressure (Plow) set at 0 cmH₂O. The high pressure time (Thigh) will be set to 4-6 seconds to maintain alveolar recruitment, while the low pressure time (Tlow) will be set to 0.2-0.6 seconds to optimize expiratory flow. This arm aims to evaluate the effects of APRV on lung tissue mechanics, oxygenation, and overall respiratory function in ARDS patients.
