What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The present study will utilize esophageal manometry to measure the presence and magnitude of persistent patient effort during lung protective ventilation, allowing identification and mitigation of occult lung stress.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults on ventilators diagnosed with ARDS who are expected to need ventilation for at least 48 hours, can trigger breaths on the ventilator, and meet specific criteria for lung injury severity. It's not suitable for pregnant individuals, those with certain lung or esophageal conditions, severe shock patients, or if life-sustaining treatment is being withheld.Inclusion Criteria
I am on a ventilator due to severe lung issues and expected to be on it for at least 48 hours.
Breathing too fast or too deeply while on the ventilator.
I have been diagnosed with ARDS, with or without chronic lung disease.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- Esophageal Catheter
Trial Overview The study tests how well an esophageal catheter can measure hidden lung stress in patients receiving lung protective mechanical ventilation. This could help identify and reduce additional lung damage during treatment.
