Summary

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, three-period crossover physiological study in adult patients with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, PaO₂/FiO₂ ≤150 mmHg). Each enrolled subject will receive all three APRV ventilation conditions in random sequence: low-level spontaneous breathing (spontaneous minute-ventilation proportion 10%-30%), high-level spontaneous breathing (31%-50%), and fully suppressed spontaneous breathing as control. A 30-minute wash-out period is set between each condition to restore unified physiological baseline. Primary outcome is ventilation-perfusion mismatch percentage (mismatch%) measured by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). Secondary outcomes include EIT-derived pulmonary parameters, respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, diaphragmatic function and safety profiles. Only short-term, reversible ventilator and sedation adjustments will be performed; routine clinical management remains unchanged throughout the trial.

Conditions

  • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

APRV ventilation with low-level spontaneous breathing

APRV ventilation mode, spontaneous-contributed minute-ventilation proportion maintained at 10%-30%. 30-minute stabilization before outcome measurement.

DEVICE

APRV ventilation with high-level spontaneous breathing

APRV ventilation mode, spontaneous-contributed minute-ventilation proportion maintained at 31%-50%. 30-minute stabilization before outcome measurement.

DEVICE

APRV ventilation with fully suppressed spontaneous breathing

APRV ventilation mode, spontaneous breathing fully suppressed by deep sedation (RASS-4 to -5). 30-minute stabilization before outcome measurement.
