Energy Load in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

April 27, 2015 updated by: Davide Chiumello, Policlinico Hospital

Energy Load During Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

The investigator would assess if there is an incremental energy load during mechanical ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients.

Conditions

Detailed Description

The investigator would study the inspiratory and expiratory pressure volume curve in ARDS patients and investigate if there is a correlation between the energy loss (hysteresis curve) and the severity of disease.
