Overview

The aim of this observational study is to test the IntelliLung decision support system based on artificial intelligence. This system is intended to help to set the ventilator. The study includes patients with and without ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) who are receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, as well as patients with additional extracorporeal lung support. The study will be conducted in several centers.

The main question of the study:

How well do the mechanical ventilation settings of healthcare staff match the recommendations of the IntelliLung system?
