Sedation may have many drawbacks in ICU patients: cardiovascular, neurologic, muscular. Light sedation and Pressure Support ventilation is feasible in ARDS patients. However spontaneous breathing can lead to high transpulmonary pressure. The goal of the study is to measure transpulmonary pressure before sedation decrease and after stabilization. The main endpoint is transpulmonary pressure less than 24 cmH2O.
