Summary

This study seeks to gain a comprehensive understanding of current ARDS management practices across European ICUs, with a particular focus on the use of LTV and PP therapy, which have been shown to improve outcomes in ARDS patients. The primary objectives focus on evaluating how LTV and PP are implemented across different institutions, while secondary objectives encompass a broader assessment of other ARDS treatment strategies. These include mechanical ventilation approaches, including PEEP titration, the use of NMBAs, and advanced extra-corporal therapies like ECMO and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R). Additionally, the study will explore diagnostic methods and decision-making processes that guide ARDS management in diverse clinical settings.

Detailed description

This is a cross-sectional survey designed to collect data on the current practices of ARDS management in ICUs across Europe. The survey will be administered electronically, allowing for the efficient collection of responses from a broad and diverse group of healthcare professionals.
