Test inflatable bag to help lungs work better when prone
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether using an inflatable air bag can improve how well the lungs stretch and work for people with ARDS while they are lying face-down (prone) on a ventilator. If you qualify, the study may help determine whether this positioning support improves breathing and lung comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- You have ARDS (severe lung inflammation) and are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation)
- Your oxygen level is low, with a P/F ratio under 150 (a blood/oxygen measure)
- You are in the medical ICU at Amiens while sedated and on the breathing machine
- You (or your relative) can give informed consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how lying face down (prone position) affects breathing in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors better monitor and treat patients on a breathing machine.
This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
This study compares two breathing support methods (APRV and BiPAP) to see which helps people with ARDS (a severe lung condition) breathe better. Participation may help find a more effective approach for recovery.
This trial compares lying on your side versus lying on your belly to improve oxygen levels in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors choose the best position to help you breathe better.
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 trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
