Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intervention - Trunk inclination (40 degree and zero degree) in a randomized cross over design in obese and non-obese mechanically ventilated ARDS patients.
This will be done using the ICU bed controls by the treating physician
Each inclination will be done for 15 minutes before the measurements (lung mechanics and blood gases) are done.
Each inclination (either 40 degree and zero degree) will be maintained for 15 minutes and both inclinations will be tested within the same session

Other design features
Patients were randomized into two 15-minute steps in which trunk inclination was changed from semi-recumbent (40o head up) to supine-flat (0o), or vice versa

Not Applicable
Type of endpoint/s
Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Continuous variables will be expressed as median (interquartile range (IQR)) or mean (standard deviation (SD)) as appropriate. Paired t test will be used to examine respiratory mechanics and blood gas variables in each group. A P<0.05 will beconsidered statistically significant (IBM SPSS version 27).
