Test of a decision support tool for children with PARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool to help the care team manage treatment for children with PARDS who are just starting a breathing machine. It may help clinicians choose care steps and potentially support safer, more effective breathing management during the first days of ventilation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 1 month and 18 years old, and born at more than 44 weeks gestation
- Have PARDS (a serious lung condition) while on a breathing machine, with oxygen levels that meet study thresholds
- Be enrolled within 72 hours after starting invasive mechanical ventilation (being intubated/placed on the breathing machine)
- Be expected to need the breathing machine for more than 72 hours
- Do not have certain conditions that make weaning unsafe or that block study breathing strategies (like certain severe airway, brain/pressure problems, or heart conditions)

This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
This trial tests two types of breathing support (APRV and BiPAP) to see which works better for people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help improve breathing and recovery for those on a ventilator.
This trial studies how adjusting ventilator settings can better match the lungs’ ability to move air and oxygen in people with moderate to severe ARDS. It may help doctors tailor breathing support for different “lung mechanics” patterns, especially during the first days after intubation.
This study looks at how severe breathing difficulty (dyspnea) affects the recovery of children with a lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It aims to improve care by tracking symptoms over time.
This trial uses a special imaging tool (EIT) to find the best air pressure in the breathing tube for children on a ventilator. It aims to improve lung function in children with a lung condition called PARDS.
This trial tests a more tailored way to set the amount of air delivered by a ventilator in people with severe ARDS. The goal is to see if personalized breathing settings can improve breathing and heart-related monitoring while patients are in intensive care.
