Test chest vibration during ventilation for severe lung failure
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special chest “vest” and related lung measurements can improve breathing in people with sudden severe lung failure who need a breathing machine. You may be eligible if you have ARDS and can safely use the vest during mechanical ventilation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You currently have sudden severe lung failure (ARDS) and need a breathing tube and ventilator
- Your oxygen level is low enough to meet ARDS criteria (PaO2/FiO2 ratio below 300)
- A legally authorized representative (LAR) can give consent for you
- Your oxygen saturation can stay above 88% while on the ventilator
- You do not have certain chest, abdominal, or throat problems that make the vest or tests unsafe

This study tests a different way of breathing (called APRV mode) on a ventilator for people with severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to see if this mode helps improve lung function and breathing mechanics.
This study compares different ways to set the ventilator for people with serious lung injury (ARDS). It tests three lung-protective strategies to find which one helps improve oxygen and lung function.
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
This trial tests a new way of setting the breathing machine for people with a lung condition called ARDS. It may help improve breathing and recovery compared to standard care.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
This trial checks whether a special “breathing sensor belt” that watches breathing in real time can be used safely in adults with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a machine called VV-ECMO. It may help the care team better monitor ventilation while you’re critically ill.
