Personalized breathing settings for adults with severe ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- You have ARDS diagnosed by Berlin criteria, with oxygen levels low (PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 150)
- You are on a breathing machine with volume-controlled settings, set to 6 mL per kg of predicted body weight
- You are receiving sedation and a muscle-paralyzing medicine
- You have special monitoring devices in place (arterial line, central line, and an esophageal balloon)
- A CT scan is planned soon (decided by the treating doctor)

This trial tests a new way to adjust breathing machine settings for people with a lung condition called ARDS. The adjustments are based on detailed monitoring of the heart and lungs, aiming to improve recovery.
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 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 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 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 personalized ventilation method that adjusts how the breathing machine delivers air based on your lung's air and blood flow match. It aims to improve breathing for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are already on a ventilator and will be placed on their stomach.
