About this study
Official title: Right-Sizing Tidal Volume in ARDS: Using the Stress Index to Optimize Mechanical Ventilation to Individual Respiratory Mechanics
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a widely prevalent and morbid disease for which the current standard treatment is supportive care and avoidance of complications with lung-protective ventilation. Lower-tidal volume ventilation has been largely accepted as a means of lung protective ventilation, but the mechanism for its effectiveness is not yet clear, and debate remains as to how best to choose positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Reduction in driving pressure (plateau pressure minus PEEP) has been suggested as a possible means to minimize ventilator-induced lung injury. This protocol aims to identify the range of safe paired-settings of PEEP and tidal volume, with selection guided by driving pressure and the stress index, a tool to recognize potential lung hyperinflation during mechanical ventilation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Recruitment Maneuver with PEEP and Tidal Volume OptimizationProcedure or surgery
A staircase recruitment maneuver will be performed on pressure control ventilation followed by a decremental PEEP trial. During the decremental PEEP trial inspiratory tidal volumes will be varied at each step between 3 ml/kg and 10 ml/kg predicted body weight while recording the continuous pressure and flow tracings from the mechanical ventilator. With each PEEP and tidal volume combination, end expiratory and end-inspiratory plateau pressure and stress index will be assessed. At the completion of the decremental PEEP trial, the patient will be returned to ARDSnet-recommended ventilator settings.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Comparison of ARDSnet-optimized and protocol-optimized tidal volume
Mean absolute difference between tidal volume in cc/kg PBW prescribed by ARDSnet settings on ARDSnet PEEP versus maximal protective tidal volume defined by stress index <1.05 at the ARDSnet PEEP on experimental protocol.
Measured: Completion of the study intervention, less than 1 day
Comparison of ARDSnet-optimized and protocol-optimized driving pressure
Mean difference in driving pressure prescribed by ARDSnet settings versus at lowest measured possible driving pressure that achieves equivalent minute ventilation as ARDSnet table with respiratory rate < or = 35 per minute and SI <1.05.
Measured: Completion of the study intervention, less than 1 day
Secondary outcomes (2)
Comparison of ARDSnet-optimized and protocol-optimized PEEP
Mean absolute difference between safest PEEP as determined by experimental protocol with tidal volume of 6 mL/kg PBW (defined as the PEEP at which 6 mL/kg PBW yields the lowest driving pressure with a SI <1.05) versus the PEEP established by ARDSnet table.
Measured: Completion of the study intervention, less than 1 day
Comparison of ARDSnet-optimized and protocol-optimized elastance
Mean difference in elastance prescribed by ARDSnet settings versus at lowest measured possible elastance achieving equivalent minute ventilation as ARDSnet table with respiratory rate < or = 35 per minute.
Measured: Completion of the study intervention, less than 1 day
