Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Presentation with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring intubation with mechanical ventilator support. ARDS will be defined by the ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen in the patient's arterial blood (PaO2) to the fraction of oxygen in the inspired air (FiO2) as being \< 300.
  • Ability of a Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) to provide consent on behalf of the patient.

Exclusion

  • Presence of cutaneous wounds that would be compromised by the Vest including stage 3 or greater pressure ulcers and the presence of actively treated burns
  • Patients with pre-existing pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary fibrosis
  • Bony chest trauma within the last 10 days
  • Contraindications to esophageal manometry including recent esophageal trauma or surgery
  • Abdominal compartment syndrome
  • Active or recent gross hemoptysis
  • Elevated intracranial pressure \>20 mmHg
  • LAR refusal to participate
  • Severe Scoliosis
  • Morbidly obese (BMI \>37)
  • Pregnant women
  • Unable to maintain oxygen saturation \> 88%
