Conditions

Acute brain injury Acute respiratory distress syndrome

Interventions

PEEP levels will be titrated to such a level that transpulmonary pressure during end-expiratory occlusion will be at 0, 5 and 10 cmH2O. Titration of PEEP is part of standard critical care, the inter

Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age * 18 years Severe TBI defined as Glasgow Coma Score 3-8 Multimodal neuromonitoring, including at least intracranial pressure monitoring Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, according to the Berlin definition)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Hemodynamic instability, despite fluid resuscitation and/or vasopressor use. - Pneumothorax in last 3 days before the start of the study - Signs and/or symptoms of brain herniation based on clinical symptoms and or CT cerebrum - Pregnancy - Status after decompressive craniectomy - During or after Penthotal coma - Unfavourable ventilator settings before start of the study (defined as plateau pressures > 30 cm H2O, or FiO2 > 60%) - Intracranial pressure > 20 mmHg for at least 5 minutes, despite the use of ICP lowering treatment - Moribund (fixed pupils or signs of brainstem coning) - History of oesophageal surgery

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mean study endpoint is the change in intracranial pressure at different transpulmonary pressure levels.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints include - Changes in MFVMCA at different transpulmonary pressure levels - Cerebral oxygenation changes at different transpulmonary pressure levels - Hemodynamic changes at different transpulmonary pressure levels - Changes in oxygenation and ventilation parameters - Respiratory system compliance changes at different transpulmonary pressure levels, - Effects of changes in transpulmonary pressure on these different parameters will be compared between patients with normal and disturbed cerebral autoregulation,and between patients with a good and exhausted cerebral compensatory reserve.
