Does a Bedside Method for Describing Functional Gas Exchange Compare Well With Anatomical Description Via CT Scans, and Could it Predict the Effects of Recruitment and Ventilation/Perfusion Mismatch Improvement
Does a Bedside Method for Describing Functional Gas Exchange Compare Well With Anatomical Description Via CT Scans, and Could it Predict the Effects of Recruitment and Ventilation/Perfusion Mismatch Improvement
The study aims to investigate the association between effects of PEEP on gas exchange model parameters and CT scan results
In ARDS patients on mechanical ventilation, we will compare model-based estimation of gas exchange parameters (shunt, ventilation/perfusion mismatch) with CT-based estimation of effects of low and high PEEP
Inclusion Criteria:
- ARDS patients requiring mechanical ventilation
Exclusion Criteria:
