Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Conditions
Keywords
Position patient, Esophageal pressure
Brief summary
Esophageal pressure measurements are used in moderate/severe Accurate Respiratory Distress SyndromeARDS patients in order to set ventilator settings. There might be variations of the measured value according to the patient position (0° vs 30°) at the time of measurements.
Interventions
Head-bed position at 0° for 30 minutes then head-bed position at 30° for 30 minutes

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total End-expiratory esophageal pressure | 30min after change of position | After end-expiratory pause on the ventilator, absolute value of the esophageal pressure is measured (in Head-bed position at 30° then in head-bed position at 0° ) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| End-inspiratory esophageal pressure | 30min after change of position | After end-inspiratory pause on the ventilator, absolute value of the esophageal pressure is measured (in Head-bed position at 30° then in head-bed position at 0° ) |
| Gastric pressure | 30min after change of position | After end-expiratory pause and end-inspiratory pause on the ventilator, absolute value of the gastric pressure is measured (in Head-bed position at 30° then in head-bed position at 0° ) |
| End-expiratory lung volume | 30min after change of position | End-expiratory lung volume is measured with nitrogen wash-in wash-out method, available in the ventilator (in Head-bed position at 30° then in head-bed position at 0° ) |
