Personalized tidal volume adjustment for patients with ARDS

Personalized Tidal Volume According to Cardiopulmonary Interactions in ARDS

Not applicable Interventional Hospices Civils de Lyon · NCT05406570

This study is testing if adjusting breathing settings on ventilators based on individual patient needs can help people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome breathe better and improve their chances of recovery.

What this trial studies

This study aims to improve the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) by personalizing tidal volume settings during mechanical ventilation. It addresses the high mortality rates associated with ARDS by utilizing a bedside tool to quantify cardio-pulmonary interactions, which may help in adjusting tidal volume more effectively. The study will involve patients who are already on invasive mechanical ventilation and will assess the impact of personalized ventilation strategies compared to standardized approaches. The use of computed tomography to detect excessive tidal volume will also be explored, although this requires patient transport.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old diagnosed with ARDS and requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.

Not a fit: Patients with acute cor pulmonale, those on ECMO, or those with severe contraindications for transport to imaging facilities may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce mortality rates in ARDS patients by optimizing ventilation strategies.

How similar studies have performed: While the personalization of tidal volume in ARDS is a novel approach, previous studies have indicated the importance of individualized ventilation strategies, suggesting potential for success.
