Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
ALI/ARDS patients and healthy subjects
 Behavioral: mechanical ventilation
measurement of specific lung elastance during mechanical ventilation

Detailed Description:

In sedated and paralyzed ALI/ARDS patients, we studied the specific elastance and also, we compared the specific elastance to healthy subjects during invasive mechanical ventilation.
