Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Oxygenation Index on Day 5 of Prostacyclin Treatment measured as PaO2/FiO2	partial pressure of oxygen in blood (PaO2), in millimeters of mercury divided by the fraction of oxygen in the inhaled air (FiO2)	Day 6 of Study
Secondary	Overall survival in 90-day follow-up period	90 day all cause mortality	on day 90 after randomization and study entry
Secondary	Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA Score)	The SOFA score is based on six different scores, one each for the respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal and neurological systems. Each system is assessed by 0=normal function to max 4 points=severe organ dysfunction Lowest Score is 0, the Maximums Score is 24; high Scores mean worse outcome	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Duration of Mechanical Ventilation	Ventilation Support length	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Number of Patients with the Occurence of Barotrauma	Barotrauma is damage to body tissue secondary to pressure difference in enclosed cavities within the body.Ventilator asynchrony, acute elevation of the plateau and peak pressures above 30 cmH2O, or sudden decrease of delivered tidal volume are result of barotrauma.	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Number of Patients with Pulmonary Hemorrhage	Significant Bleeding from Lung	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Number of Patients with Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage	Significant Bleeding from GI Tract	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Number of Patients with Pulmonary Embolism	Blockage of an artery in the lungs by a embolus that has moved from elsewhere in the body to the lung	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Number of Patients with Delirium	An organically caused decline from a previous baseline mental functioning, that develops over a short period of time, typically hours to days. Measured as occurence and length in time.	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Number of Patients with ICU Acquired Weakness	Skeletal muscle dysfunction	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Discharge Location	Number of Patients discharged to home without additional care (self-care), home with additional care (home health care) and other care facilities such as nursing homes. Measured as % of patients discharged to either of these locations.	until ICU discharge, estimated average = 14 days
Secondary	Barthel Index (BI)	Is a measure using an ordinal scale used to measure performance in activities of daily living (ADL). The original 10-item form of the BI consists of 10 common ADL activities including: feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toileting, chair transfer, ambulation and stair climbing. Items are rated in terms of whether individuals can perform activities independently, with some assistance, or are dependent (scored as 10, 5 or 0). Items are weighted according to the level of nursing care required.	at 6 months after study inclusion
