About this trial
This observational study will explore the effects of PEEP and position on regional lung ventilation-perfusion mismatch by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in moderate-to-severe ARDS patients with different lung recruitability.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
age ≥18 years
Moderate-to-severe ARDS as per the 2023 ESICM definition
Undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation
Planned prone position based on the attending physicians' decisions
Disqualifiers
age ≥85 years
Pregnancy
Severe hemodynamic instability (> 30% increase in vasopressors in the last 6 hours or norepinephrine > 0.5 µg/kg/min)
Clinically suspected elevated intracranial pressure (>18 mm Hg)
Trial population
Intubated mechanically ventilated ARDS patients.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Ventilation-perfusion matching (V/Q match%)
corresponding to the pixels that are both ventilated and perfused divided by the total number of pixels ventilated and/or perfused
Secondary outcomes
percentage of dead space
corresponding to the ventilated but nonperfused pixels divided by the total number of pixels ventilated and/or perfused
percentage of shunt
corresponding to the perfused but nonventilated pixels divided by the total number of pixels ventilated and/or perfused
