Using a clinical decision support system to reduce excess driving pressure: the ALARM trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients at need for ventilation often are at risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although lung-protective ventilation strategies, including low driving pressure settings, are well known to improve outcomes, clinical practice often diverges from these strategies. A clinical decision support (CDS) system can improve adherence to current guidelines; moreover, the potential of a CDS to enhance adherence can possibly be further increased by combination with a nudge type intervention.

Methods

A prospective cohort trial was conducted in patients at risk of ARDS admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). Patients were assigned to control or intervention by their date of admission: First, the control group was included without changing anything in clinical
