Ultrasound-guided breathing strategy for new focal ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a way to guide ventilator settings using lung ultrasound pictures in adults with very new, localized ("focal") ARDS. The goal is to see whether this approach improves care for people who just started needing a breathing machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You started a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) less than 24 hours ago.
- Your ARDS is new (diagnosed within the last 24 hours) and meets the trial’s ARDS breathing/oxygen criteria.
- Ultrasound of your lungs shows “focal” ARDS (localized areas, not widespread).
- You can give consent (or you were enrolled in an emergency).

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 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 tests whether using an ultrasound scan to guide a breathing machine settings can improve care for people with moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. If you qualify, the team will compare the ultrasound-guided approach to standard ventilator care in the ICU.
This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
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 study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
