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 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 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 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 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 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.
