Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study endpoint is the difference in Pes based derived parameters obtained by both types of esophageal catheters during controlled and assisted mechanical ventilation. Pes will be measured as absolute value and relative value. Absolute values are Pes values at end-expiration and at peak inspiration (based on flow recordings), relative Pes is the difference between both absolute values (Pes swings). | — |
