Interventions

We will titrate the PEEP level from baseline(5cm.H2O) by increments of 2cm.H2O for 30 minutes for each PEEP level till reaching the value of optimum PEEP that corresponds to best oxygenation(Pao2-sao

We will titrate the PEEP level from baseline(5cm.H2O) by increments of 2cm.H2O for 30 minutes for each PEEP level till reaching the value of optimum PEEP that corresponds to best oxygenation(Pao2-sao2 and hypoxic index ) and correlates it with the perfusion index changes in ARDS patients.
