What this Trial Is About

The goal of this clinical trial is to perform a PEEP titration protocol and use EIT to identify the optimal PEEP at which lung overdistention and collapse are most effectively balanced. The primary and secondary aims of the study are as follows: Identify the difference between the optimal PEEP recommended by EIT metrics and the current guideline recommended approach to identifying optimal PEEP in PARDS. There will be a statistically significant difference in the recommended optimal PEEP identified using the EIT PEEP titration tool and that of the PEEP/FiO2 grid recommendations. Determine the difference in physiologic metrics between EIT optimal PEEP and the PEEP/FiO2 recommended PEEP. Participants will undergoing EIT monitoring while being subjected to PEEP titration protocol.
