5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The investigators aim to study the specific elastance in ALI/ARDS patients during invasive mechanical ventilation.
Detailed Description
In sedated and paralyzed ALI/ARDS patients, we studied the specific elastance and also, we compared the specific elastance to healthy subjects during invasive mechanical ventilation.
