Ultrasound-guided breathing support for severe lung failure
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are admitted to a study ICU (intensive care unit)
- You are on an invasive breathing machine right now (a tube in the airway)
- You meet the study’s ARDS definition for moderate or severe severity
- You are age 18 or older
- You have not had a breathing machine for more than 7 days in the past 30 days

This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
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.
This study tests a new way of setting the breathing machine for people with severe obesity and lung injury (ARDS). It aims to measure pressure inside the lungs more directly, which could help customize ventilation and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound can help guide physical therapy for hospitalized patients with new breathing problems. It aims to make therapy safer and more effective by seeing how the lungs look in real time.
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.
This study tests whether using ultrasound at the bedside can help doctors better open collapsed lungs in obese patients who are on a breathing machine. The goal is to find the best way to adjust the machine to improve oxygen levels safely.
