Extrapulmonary Interventional Ventilatory Support in Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) (Xtravent)
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome focused on measuring acute respiratory distress syndrome, extracorporeal lung support, hypoxia, hypercapnia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- The trial subjects are patients aged 18 years or older who have developed severe ARDS. Following the American-European Consensus Conference on ARDS, severe ARDS is defined as an oxygenation index (PaO2/FIO2) < 200 mmHg. These parameters must be present for a duration of at least 2 hours.
Exclusion Criteria:
- age < 18 years
- decompensated heart insufficiency
- acute coronary syndrome
- severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- advanced tumour conditions with life expectancy < 6 months
- chronic dialysis treatment
- lung transplant patients
- proven Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
- morbid obesity (BMI >) 40
- Child Class B and C cirrhosis of the liver, acute fulminant hepatic failure
- severe peripheral arterial occlusive disease (pAVK III - IV), absence of limb doppler pulse
- brain injury (GCS < 9 + CT pathology)
Sites / Locations
- University Hospital Regensburg

Intervention: Implantation of the iLA - adaptation of the ventilation strategy, explantation of the iLA after corresponding improvement (see treatment plan for details) - weaning from the ventilation and extubation according to specified criteria.
no device: Ventilation strategy based on the concept of lung-protective ventilation without extracorporeal support, weaning from the ventilation and extubation according to specified criteria (see treatment plan for details).
