Effect of EIT-guided PEEP titration on prognosis of patients with moderate to severe ARDS: study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Acute respiratory syndrome distress (ARDS) is a clinical common syndrome with high mortality. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT)-guided positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration can achieve the compromise between lung overdistension and collapse which may minimize vent...

description Abstract Background Acute respiratory syndrome distress (ARDS) is a clinical common syndrome with high mortality. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT)-guided positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration can achieve the compromise between lung overdistension and collapse which may minimize ventilator-induced lung injury in these patients. However, the effect of EIT-guided PEEP titration on the clinical outcomes remains unknown. The objective of this trial is to investigate the effects of EIT-guided PEEP titration on the clinical outcomes for moderate or severe ARDS, compared to the low fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)-PEEP table. Methods This is a prospective, multicenter, single-blind, parallel-group, adaptive designed, randomized controlled trial (RCT) with intention-to-treat analysis. Adult patients with moderate to severe ARDS less than 72 h after diagnosis will be included in this study. Participants in the intervention group will receive PEEP titrated by EIT with a stepwise decrease PEEP trial, whereas participants in the control group will select PEEP based on the low FiO2-PEEP table. Other ventilator parameters will be set according to the ARDSNet strategy. Participants will be followed up until 28 days after enrollment. Three hundred seventy-six participants will be recruited based on a 15% decrease of 28-day mortality in the intervention group, with an interim analysis for sample size re-estimation and futility assessment being undertaken once 188 participants have been recruited. The primary outcome is 28-day mortality. The secondary outcomes include ventilator-free days and shock-free days at day 28, length of ICU and hospital stay, the rate of successful weaning, proportion requiring rescue therapies, compilations, respiratory variables, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA). Discussion As a heterogeneous syndrome, ARDS has different responses to treatment and further results in different clinical outcomes. PEEP selection will depend on the properties of patients and can be individually achieved by EIT. This study will be the largest randomized trial to investigate thoroughly the effect of individual PEEP titrated by EIT in moderate to severe ARDS patients to date. Trial registration ClinicalTrial.gov NCT05207202. First published on January 26, 2022.
