About

Prospective, open-label, single-center, study to investigate the effect of sevoflurane sedation compared to a propofol-controlled arm during COPD exacerbation requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in ICU.

Primary outcome measure:

Evolution of airway resistance before and after sevoflurane in COPD patients,

Secondary outcomes measures:

Respiratory mechanics (Maximum pressure, PEEPi and PEEPtot, trapped volume), Gas exchange by the help of blood gases, The heterogeneity of alveolar ventilation by electro-impedancemetry, Evolution of pulmonary inflammation, Trophicity and contractility of the diaphragm,
