A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the relationship between driving transpulmonary pressure and extravascular lung water in patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It focuses on intubated patients who are monitored using a transpulmonary thermodilution device and esophageal pressure monitoring. By understanding how these pressures correlate, the study aims to provide insights into ventilatory induced lung injury and pulmonary edema in ARDS patients.
