Energy Load in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Policlinico Hospital

Status: Completed

Conditions: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT01878552

Policlinico-07

Details and patient eligibility

About

The investigator would assess if there is an incremental energy load during mechanical ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients.

Full description

The investigator would study the inspiratory and expiratory pressure volume curve in ARDS patients and investigate if there is a correlation between the energy loss (hysteresis curve) and the severity of disease.
