Measuring lung mechanics in patients on mechanical ventilation

Is this trial a fit for you?

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 aims to investigate how lung mechanics are affected during the early phase of mechanical ventilation in patients with respiratory distress. It utilizes a non-invasive PEEP-step method to assess the elastic properties of the lungs, allowing for improved monitoring and individualized ventilator care. The study will collect data from both healthy lungs and those with acute lung failure, focusing on the first hours of ventilator treatment. This approach seeks to enhance the understanding of lung mechanics and potentially reduce ventilator-induced lung injury.
