Brief Summary

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a time-cycled, pressure controlled, intermittent mandatory ventilation mode with extreme inverse I:E ratios. Currently it is considered as a non-conventional ventilatory mode. The investigators aim to compare APRV with conventional mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Acute respiratory distress syndrome, according to the Berlin definition of ARDS, with adjusted pO2/FiO2 for altitude \<300, and less than 48 h of endotracheal mechanical ventilation Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy * Less than 18 years-old * Expected duration of mechanical ventilation less than 48 h * Preexisting conditions with an expected 3-month mortality exceeding 50% * Concurrent chemotherapy * Confirmed intracranial hypertension * Catastrophic cranial trauma or neuromuscular disorders that are known to prolong mechanical ventilation * Pneumothorax at enrollment (resolved or not) * Do-not-resuscitate order
