Scientific titleRandomised prospective European Multicenter Oscillator Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Trial
Study acronymEMOAT - European Multicenter Oscillator ARDS Trial
Study hypothesisTo compare the safety and efficacy of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) for early intervention in adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Ethics approval(s)This study was approved by the ethical committee board of all participating institutions and was in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration.
ConditionAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
InterventionHigh frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) compared with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV).
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Cumulative survival without mechanical ventilation or oxygen dependency at 30 days
2. Mortality at 30 days
Secondary outcome measures1. Therapy failure
2. Crossover rate
3. Persisting pulmonary problems defined as oxygen dependency or still being on a ventilator at 30 days
Overall study start date01/10/1997
Overall study end date31/03/2001
