Testing a lung opening breathing pattern in early ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have ARDS diagnosed within the last 72 hours
- Your breathing problem started within 1 week of a known trigger or worsening symptoms
- You need a breathing machine and are not making their own breaths
- Your oxygen level is low despite ventilator settings (PaO2/FiO2 200 or less) and you’re on at least 5 cmH2O of pressure at the end of each breath
- You can (or a legal representative can) consent to take part

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 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.
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 a different way of breathing (called APRV mode) on a ventilator for people with severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to see if this mode helps improve lung function and breathing mechanics.
This trial studies how adjusting ventilator settings can better match the lungs’ ability to move air and oxygen in people with moderate to severe ARDS. It may help doctors tailor breathing support for different “lung mechanics” patterns, especially during the first days after intubation.
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.
