Brief Summary: The 2020 pandemic of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) has lead to an increase in ARDS cases requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit).

The investigators hypothesize that airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) could be beneficial in patients with ARDS secondary to SARS-COV2 viral pneumonia.
Detailed Description: Lung protective mechanical ventilation is the cornerstone of ARDS management, reducing the work of respiratory muscles and optimizing gas exchange. However, it can be the source of deleterious effects, grouped under the terms of ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) and ventilator induced diaphragm dysfunction.

The protective ventilatory strategy has led to a significant improvement in the prognosis of ARDS patients, by reducing the volume of the air and oxygen mixture (lower tidal volume) delivered to the lungs and thus reducing the pulmonary stress and strain. However, this protective ventilation usually requires deep sedation and neuromuscular blockade to avoid deleterious patient-ventilator asynchrony.

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) has been proposed to reduce patient-ventilator asynchrony and reduce the VILI. The operating principles of APRV are based on the presence of two pressure levels that are kept constant. Spontaneous breathing is possible at any time at both pressure levels if the patient is not deeply sedated or under neuromuscular blockade.

The investigators hypothesize that APRV mode could be beneficial on oxygenation and respiratory work in patients with ARDS secondary to SARS-COV2 viral pneumonia.
