Abstract

Summary


Objective: To assess effects of mechanical ventilation with titrating positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) guided by esophageal pressure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Subject and method: Prospective, randomized, intervened study. We randomly assigned 34 patients with moderate and severe ARDS to undergo mechanical ventilation with PEEP adjusted according to EPVent2 and 34 patients with moderate and severe ARDS to undergo mechanical ventilation with PEEP adjusted according to low PEEP table of ARDSnetwork (the control group). Result: The ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen at T1 and T2 were higher in the EPVent2 group than the control group (p<0,001). The mortality rate at 28 days was lower among the EPVent2 group than among the control group, but the difference was not significant (p>0,05). Conclusion: The EPVent2 improves PaO2/FiO2 but not improve mortality rate.
