The Specific Elastance in Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ALI/ARDS) Patients

Policlinico Hospital100 enrolled

Overview

The investigators aim to study the specific elastance in ALI/ARDS patients during invasive mechanical ventilation.

In sedated and paralyzed ALI/ARDS patients, we studied the specific elastance and also, we compared the specific elastance to healthy subjects during invasive mechanical ventilation.
