About This Trial
This is a multicentre prospective cohort trial in adult and pediatric ICU patients. The investigators will measure the effect of a patient's inspiratory effort during mechanical ventilation on the lungs and diaphragm. The investigators will daily (for a maximum of 8 days) measure esophageal pressures with a balloon catheter to quantify inspiratory effort and respiratory muscle function, and perfor…
