COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison for the Effect of Neuromuscular Blocking Agents Versus Sedation Alone on Severe ARDS Patients Due to COVID-19
Many questions about management of COVID-19 are still not answered. So, we recruit this study aiming to evaluate improvement of oxygenation in COVID-19 patients with severe ARDS, to improve morbidity and mortality of ICU covid patients, to participate in understanding of real hidden pathophysiology of COVID-19.

| Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | PaO2/FiO2 | ratio of arterial oxygen pressure in millilitre mercury to fraction of inspired oxygen at same time within the arterial blood gas | 48 hours | |
| Secondary | Change in lung mechanics | measurement of peak and plateau pressures in cm H2O, airway resistance in cm H2O. s/mL, static and dynamic compliance in Litre/cm H2O and positive end expiratory pressure in cm H2O from ventilator settings | 48 hours | |
| Secondary | SOFA score | Fulfilment of modified SOFA (Sepsis Organ Failure Assessment) score sheet | 48 hours | |
| Secondary | Measurement of tissue perfusion | Measurement of tissue perfusion by serum lactate in mmol/L and jugular venous oxygen saturation % from a sample withdrawn from CVP | 48 hours | |
| Secondary | Monitoring of Alveolar - Arterial Oxygen difference | An arterial canula is to be introduced and a quantity of 0.5 ml of blood samples are obtained from radial artery and arterial blood gas analysis are performed after anti-coagulation by heparin. Alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference: [P(A-a) DO2] = [(Pa-PH2O) × FiO2%-PaCO2-PaO2] [(760-47) × FiO2%-PaCO2-PaO2] [713 × FiO2%-PaCO2-PaO2] |
48 hours | |
| Secondary | 28 days survival | 28 days survival | after 28 days | |
| Secondary | Recording risk factors | Recording risk factors as diabetes, renal failure, immunosuppression, smoking, COPD and obesity | 28 days | |
| Secondary | Recording complications | Recording complications as VAP, HAP, neuromuscular weakness | 28 days |
