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.

This study compares different ways of setting the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP – the pressure that helps keep your lungs open on the ventilator) to find the best approach for people with moderate-to-severe ARDS. It uses existing sensors – an esophageal pressure probe and a chest impedance belt – to guide the settings, which may improve breathing support and recovery.
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 the safety of using lower PEEP breathing settings during care for ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support settings for people on a breathing machine.
