Eligibility
Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: High dose of vasoactive drugs; Intracranial hypertension; Patients with acute myocardial infarction; Presence of pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, or pneumatocele; Paliative care exclusive patients; Severe thoracic trauma and/or thorax drainage; Patients with pacemaker or automatic desfibrilators
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison between the difference in compliance between days 1 and 3 between the four titration methods expressed in ml/cmH2O. The compliance is measured at day 1, 2 and 3. It is calculated with ventilatory parameters shown at the ventilator: tidal volume divided by plateau minus peep. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference in PaO2 between groups measured as the difference in paO2 given in mmHg between 4 groups of randomization ;Correlation between airway driving pressure and trans pulmonary driving pressure expressed as percentage of transpulmonary driving pressure divided by airway driving pressure. ;Presence of barotrauma measured as binary variable: yes or no e measured with the number of events devided by total of patients;Presence of severe respiratory acidosis (ph<7,15) measured as a binary variable: yes or no. Dividing number of events divided by total. ;28 day mortality measured as percentage of total death divided by number of patients at total. ;Number of mechanical ventilation free days in 28 days measured as the number of days out of mechanical ventilation in 28 days considering zero for those who died in 28 days;Comparison of dead space (Vd)/tidal volume (Vt) between groups measure as a ratio. | — |
