Predict breathing effort response to higher ventilator pressure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at how much breathing effort changes when the ventilator uses a higher pressure in people who are recovering from ARDS. The goal is to predict who will respond better so care can be adjusted more safely and effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently on a breathing machine through a tube (invasive mechanical ventilation).
- You previously met the ARDS criteria at some point while on the breathing machine.
- You are currently on pressure support ventilation (a ventilator mode).
- Your care team expects you will stay on the breathing machine for more than 24 hours after enrollment.
- You do not have certain nerve or muscle diseases that affect breathing, like ALS or Duchenne/related conditions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study looks at a specific breathing event (“avalanche phenomenon”) when the lungs are opened in people with early, moderate-to-severe ARDS. The goal is to understand what’s happening in the lungs and whether it can guide better care.
This study tests whether a customized breathing machine approach ("precision ventilation") is better than usual care for patients with ARDS. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and recovery while avoiding lung damage.
This trial looks at how changes in lung pressure during breathing might affect recovery in patients with severe ARDS who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It could help doctors improve treatment for people with this serious lung condition.
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.
This study looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
