What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying the calibration of the esophageal balloon catheter Pes catheter used during mechanical ventilation to measure esophageal pressure Pes and calculate transpulmonary pressure PL. This measurement helps set ventilator pressures and assess patient breathing effort, which is important in managing patients with conditions like early, severe ARDS. Calibration has been validated only in passive ventilation but not in spontaneous breathing with ventilator support, where chest forces differ and may affect calibration accuracy and patient care.
