Testing an electrical monitor in moderately severe lung failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a bedside breathing and lung-monitoring method that uses small electrodes on the chest. It is meant for people with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung inflammation problem) who are on a breathing machine, to help guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be on a breathing machine (intubated) for moderate to severe ARDS
- Have ARDS severity consistent with PaO2/FiO2 of 200 or less (a blood gas test measure)
- Be on continuous sedation, with or without paralysis
- Be able to have the electrode belt safely placed for the monitoring (no chest burns, pacemaker/heart device issues, or major chest wounds that prevent placement)
- Blood pressure and heart rate must be stable enough (systolic BP ≥75, MAP ≥60 despite medicines, and heart rate ≥55)

This study tests a smarter way to set the breathing machine's pressure in people with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are also being turned onto their stomachs to help their lungs. It aims to see if using a special chest monitor (EIT) can improve oxygen levels and lung function.
This study compares two ways of measuring how well your lungs can open up, to help doctors find the best breathing machine settings for you. It aims to improve oxygen levels and breathing support in the intensive care unit.
This study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
This study tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
