Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • ARDS due to pneumonia defined by Berlin Definition • Age = 18 Years • Admitted to a participating ICU at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin - Campus Virchow

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • preexisting severe lung disease such aswie z.B. o COPD (GOLD 3-4) o pulmonary fibrosis o cystic fibrosis • unfavorable prognosis (death is expected within hours, in spite of maximal therapy) • pregnant or breastfeeding patients • patient is placed in a penal institution • consent cannot be obtained by legal proxy • patients advance directives exclude or argue against participation in a trial

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Ration of electrical (EMG) and mechanical (pressure/flow) signal of the respiratory muscles at the three following times of measurement: • acute phase (within the first 48h after admission to a study-ICU) • at the first reduction of sedation (Goal-RASS =-2) • at the beginning of discontinuous Weaning (CPAP)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
• Ratio of sEMG of the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles • maximal inspiratory and exspiratory flow • transpulmonary pressure • airway occlusion pressure • respiratory fatigue during assisted ventilation • diaphragmatic thickness (ultrasound)
