Background  High-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) does not improve the prognosis of ARDS patients despite an improvement in oxygenation. This paradox may partly be explained by HFOV hemodynamic side-effects on right ventricular function. Our goal was to study the link between HFOV and hemodynamic effects and to test if the pre-HFOV right over left ventricular end-diastolic area (RVEDA/LVEDA) ratio, as a simple parameter of afterload-related RV dysfunction, could be used to predict HFOV hemodynamic intolerance in patients with severe ARDS.    Methods  Twenty-four patients were studied just before and within 3 h of HFOV using transthoracic echocardiography and transpulmonary thermodilution.    Results  Before HFOV, the mean PaO 2 /FiO 2  ratio was 89 ± 23. The number of patients with a RVEDA/LVEDA ratio >0.6 significantly increased after HFOV [11 (46 %) vs. 17 (71 %)]. Although HFOV did not significantly decrease the arterial pressure (systolic, diastolic, mean and pulse pressure), it significantly decreased the cardiac index (CI) by 13 ± 18 % and significantly increased the RVEDA/LVEDA ratio by 14 ± 11 %. A significant correlation was observed between pre-HFOV RVEDA/LVEDA ratio and CI diminution after HFOV ( r  = 0.78;  p  < 0.0001). A RVEDA/LVEDA ratio superior to 0.6 resulted in a CI decrease >15 % during HFOV with a sensitivity of 80 % (95 % confidence interval 44–98 %) and a specificity of 79 % (confidence interval 49–95 %).    Conclusion  The RVEDA/LVEDA ratio measured just before HFOV predicts the hemodynamic intolerance of this technique in patients with severe ARDS. A high ratio under CMV raises questions about the use of HFOV in such patients.  Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01167621
