Brief Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to compare standard mechanical ventilation to a lung-stress oriented ventilation strategy in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Particip...

Detailed Description

ARDS is a devastating condition that places a heavy burden on public health resources. Recent changes in the practice of mechanical ventilation have improved survival in ARDS, but mortality remains un...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Moderate or severe ARDS, defined as meeting all of the following (a-e):
  • Invasive ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ≥ 5 cm H2O
  • Hypoxemia as characterized by: • If arterial blood gas (ABG) available: the partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (PaO2)/FiO2 ≤ 200 mm Hg, or, • if ABG not available OR overt clinical deterioration in oxygenation since last ABG: SpO2/FiO2 ≤ 235 with SpO2 ≤ 97% (both conditions) on two representative assessments between 1 to 6 hours apart. • If patient is positioned prone or receiving inhaled pulmonary vasodilator at time of screening:
  • Qualifying PaO2/FiO2 or SpO2/FiO2 (as defined above) that was recorded within the 6 hours immediately prior to initiating either of these therapies may be used for eligibility determination. • If PEEP has been increased by \> 5 cm H2O within the last 12 hours immediately prior to screening:
  • Qualifying PaO2/FiO2 or SpO2/FiO2 (as defined above) prior to PEEP increase may be used for eligibility determination if recorded within this 12-hour window.
  • Bilateral lung opacities on chest imaging not fully explained by effusions, lobar collapse, or nodules
  • Respiratory failure not fully explained by heart failure or fluid overload
  • Onset within 1 week of clinical insult or new/worsening symptoms
  • Early in ARDS course
  • Full criteria for moderate-severe ARDS (#2 above) first met within previous 3 days
  • Current invasive ventilation episode not more than 4 days duration
  • Current severe hypoxemic episode (receipt of invasive ventilation, noninvasive ventilation, or high-flow nasal cannula) not more than 10 days duration

Exclusion

  • Esophageal manometry already in use clinically
  • Severe brain injury: including suspected elevated intracranial pressure, cerebral edema, or Glasgow coma score (GCS) ≤ 8 directly caused by severe brain injury (e.g., ischemia or hemorrhage)
  • Gross barotrauma or chest tube inserted to treat barotrauma (note: chest tube inserted strictly for drainage of pleural effusion is not an exclusion)
  • Esophageal varix or stricture that, in judgement of the site investigator, significantly increases risk of esophageal catheter placement; recent oropharyngeal or gastroesophageal surgery; or past esophagectomy
  • Ongoing severe coagulopathy (platelet \< 5000/μL or INR \> 4)
  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or CO2 removal (ECCO2R)
  • Neuromuscular disease that impairs spontaneous breathing (including but not limited to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, spinal cord injury at C5 or above)
  • Any of the following severe chronic lung diseases: continuous home supplemental oxygen \> 3 liters/minute, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, lung transplant, or acute exacerbation of a chronic interstitial lung disease (ILD)
  • Severe shock: norepinephrine-equivalent dose ≥ 0.6 μg/kg/min or simultaneous receipt of ≥ 3 vasopressors
  • Severe liver disease, defined as Child-Pugh Class C (Section 12.3)
  • ICU admission for burn injury
  • Current ICU stay \> 2 weeks or acute care hospital stay \> 4 weeks
  • Estimated mortality \> 50% over 6 months due to underlying chronic medical condition (e.g. metastatic pancreatic cancer) as assessed by the study physician
  • Moribund patient not expected to survive 24 hours as assessed by the study physician; if cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was provided, assessment for moribund status must occur at least 6 hours after CPR was completed
  • Current limitation on life-sustaining care (other than do-not-resuscitate), or expectation by clinical team that a limitation on life-sustained care will be adopted within next 24 hours.
  • Treating clinician refusal or unwilling to use protocol-specified ventilator settings/modes
  • Prisoner
  • Previous enrollment in this trial
