What is this trial about?
The alveoli tend to collapse in patients with ARDS. Endotracheal aspiration may increase alveolar collapse by decreasing the end-expiratory lung volume. The hypothesis is that closed endotracheal aspiration led to less end-expiratory volume loss when compared to open endotracheal aspiration.
