A Validation Study of a New System for Measuring the End Expiratory Lung Volume During Mechanical Ventilation

A Validation Study of a New System for Measuring the End Expiratory Lung Volume During Mechanical Ventilation Acute in Intubated Patients

In this study the investigators aim to evaluate a new system dedicated to estimate the end expiratory lung volume, by measuring the VO2-VCO2, during mechanical ventilation compared to the helium dilution technique and the computed tomography (CT) scan.

In this study we aimed to evaluate a new system dedicated to estimate the end expiratory lung volume, by measuring the VO2-VCO2, during mechanical ventilation compared to the Helium dilution technique and the CT scan. We will compare the data considering the CT scan data as the gold standard.

Inclusion Criteria:
