NCT ID:
NCT00538928
Brief Summary:
A prospective, randomized study will be performed investigating the effects of a pumpless extracorporeal interventional lung assist \[iLA\] on the implementation of a lung-protective ventilatory strategy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome \[ARDS\] with a PaO2/FiO2 ratio \< 200. The duration of ventilation, intensive care and hospital stay and in-hospital mortality will be investigated.
Detailed Description:
Evaluation group:
Implantation of the iLA - adaptation of the ventilation strategy, explantation of the iLA after corresponding improvement (see treatment plan for details) - weaning from the ventilation and extubation according to specified criteria.
Control group:
Ventilation strategy based on the concept of lung-protective ventilation without extracorporeal support, weaning from the ventilation and extubation according to specified criteria (see treatment plan for details).
