Testing safe early standing for adults with severe lung failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial checks whether it’s safe and doable to help people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) start standing early, while they are closely monitored. It may help some patients begin upright movement sooner, with the goal of improving safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (over 18 years old).
- You must have ARDS with a specific oxygen measurement (PaO2/FiO2 ratio under 150) within the last 24 hours.
- Your blood pressure must be stable (mean arterial pressure over 65) and, if you need norepinephrine, it must be below 0.5 µg/kg/min.
- You must have had at least 1, but fewer than 5, prone-positioning sessions (PP sessions).
- You must be on continuous IV sedation or not able to respond to simple commands.
- A support person or family must be able to sign consent with you.

This trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
This trial studies whether turning patients onto their stomach (a positioning technique called prone positioning) changes a breathing-monitoring measure in people with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). If you qualify, the goal is to see if this positioning can improve how well your lungs exchange oxygen while you are on a breathing machine.
This study tests whether raising the head of the bed (vertical positioning) can help patients with ARDS breathe better. It may offer a simple, non-drug way to improve oxygen levels.
This study looks at how placing patients on their stomach (prone positioning) affects those with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to learn more about the best practices for this treatment in the ICU.
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who need a breathing machine. It tests how long lying on your stomach (prone position) helps improve breathing, by measuring changes in your body's oxygen levels and other vital signs.
This trial studies how lying face down (prone position) affects breathing in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors better monitor and treat patients on a breathing machine.
