Brief summary
Although mechanical ventilation is life saving, it is associated with a number of severe complications collectively referred to as ventilator induced lung injury (VILI). VILI contributes to the high morbidity and mortality associated with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Within the context of a randomized study evaluating the feasibility of conducting a study comparing high frequency oscillation to conventional lung protective ventilation in early severe ARDS, we are evaluating the effect of both ventilator strategies on biological markers of VILI.
Detailed description
Specific objectives: To measure known biomarkers conventionally associated with VILI and biotrauma To measure potential novel biomarkers of VILI and biotrauma To identify the best time point for biomarker measurement To collect and store samples for differential expression and genomic analysis

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Serum concentration of known biomarkers associated with VILI and biotrauma | Baseline, after standardization, 6-10 hours after randomization, 12-16 hours after randomization, 24-30 hours after randomization, 72-76 hours after randomization, and every 3 subsequent days until death, discharge, or completion of the study at 28 days |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Serum concentration of tissue and cell specific markers that are potential novel biomarkers associated with VILI and biotrauma | Baseline, after standardization, 6-10 hours after randomization, 12-16 hours after randomization, 24-30 hours after randomization, 72-76 hours after randomization, and every 3 subsequent days until death, discharge, or completion of the study at 28 days |
