Brief Summary   PEEP titration guided by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is non-inferior to PEEP determined by the ARDSnet low PEEP table in guided PEEP titration improving oxygenation and other parameters, such as the P/F ratio, driving pressure, and mechanical power, in patients with ARDS. Primary objective is to compare whether PEEP titration guided by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is non-inferior to PEEP derived from the ARDSnet low PEEP table in improving oxygenation, as measured by the P/F ratio, in patients with ARDS. Secondary objective is to compare the impact of PEEP as guided by EIT versus ARDSnet low PEEP table on driving pressure. To assess the impact of PEEP as guided by EIT versus ARDSnet low PEEP table on mechanical power. This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, single-center, non-inferiority trial designed to compare the efficacy and safety of an Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)-guided PEEP titration strategy versus the ARDSNet low PEEP/FiO2 table for optimizing mechanical ventilation in patients with ARDS. Patients diagnosed with ARDS who requires mechanical ventilation or already mechanically ventilated with ARDS diagnosis. Inclusion criteria for study are Patients age >18 years.Diagnosed with ARDS according to the Berlin Definition.Intubated and mechanically ventilated.Exclusion Criteria are Pregnancy.EIT contraindications (e.g., pacemaker or automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator).Severe intracranial hypertension.Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema, or high risk of pneumothorax.Refractory hypotension as assessed by attending physician.
