Esophageal manometry was used as surrogate of pleural pressure to titrate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in ARDS patients. However, Absolute values of esophageal pressure (Pes) could be affected by the PEEP setting. In moderate to severe ARDS patients, the end-expiratory Pes changed differently with PEEP adjustment. and the esophageal phenotypes could be divided into type I and type II. with Type I (ΔPes≥30%ΔPEEP)and Type II(ΔPes\<30%ΔPEEP).
