Overview

This study evaluates the effects of prone positioning on homogenization of ventilation.

Description

After initiation of mechanical ventilation and assessing the eligibility of the patient, informed consent will be taken from the closest kin. If eligible, following steps will be performed which are part of standard ARDS patient care.

  1. Low-flow Pressure Volume curve and assessment of airway opening pressure
  2. Calculation of recruitment to inflation ratio
  3. Optimizing Positive End-Expiratory Pressure

Afterwards, phase III slope of the patient will be recorded at four timepoints:

Supine 1 (immediately before turning to prone position) Prone 1 (immediately after prone position) Prone 2 (at the end of the 16-24 hour prone cycle) Supine 2 (immediately after turning to supine position)

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ARDS criteria met
  • intubated and mechanically ventilated as a result of respiratory failure
  • PaO2/FiO2 <200

Exclusion Criteria:

  • age older than 18
  • Chronic pulmonary disease, pneumothoraces, intraabdominal hypertension (> 12 mmHg), pregnancy, not expected to survive >24 hours, hemodynamic instability

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
