Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  conventional ventilation  Patients in the control group will be treated according to the low-tidal-volume strategy reported by the ARDS Net study of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.8These patients will be ventilated using volume control mode with the tidal volume set at 6 ml per kilogram of predicted body weight and PEEP is based on the patient’s PaO2 and FiO2. 
Intervention  transpulmonary presssure measurement  While undergoing treatment, the subjects will be supine, with the head of the bed elevated to 30 degrees. Airway pressure, tidal volumes and other respiratory parameters will be recorded during mechanical ventilation. An esophageal balloon catheter will be passed to a depth of 60 cms. from the incisors for measurement of gastric pressure and then withdrawn to a depth of 40 cms. to record esophageal pressure during mechanical ventilation. Placement of the balloon in the stomach will be confirmed by a transient increase in pressure during a gentle compression of the abdomen and by a qualitative change in the pressure tracing (i.e., an increased cardiac artifact) as the balloon will be withdrawn into the esophagus.

Brief Summary  

Introduction: As per ARDS net study mechanical-ventilation strategies that use lower end-inspiratory (plateau) airway pressures, lower tidal volumes (VT), and higher positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEPs) can improve survival in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)1, but the optimal pressures are not known. Transpulmonary pressure guided ventilation may be beneficial in such patients without the drawback of conventional ventilation strategy.

Aim of Study: Our aim is to compare the effect of transpulmonary pressure guided ventilation versus conventional ventilation in patients with A.R.D.S.

Materials & Methods: A randomized prospective cross-over study will be conducted on 100 patients of moderate to severe A.R.D.S. Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group T will receive transpulmonary pressure guided ventilation and Group C will receive conventional ventilation. The patients in each group will cross over to the opposite group after a washout period.

Clinical Significance: This study will help us to find out if transpulmonary pressure guided ventilation improves ventilation parameters
