Test breathing support patterns in moderate to severe ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old, and not pregnant
- You are currently on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) through a breathing tube
- You were intubated between 24 hours and 5 days ago
- Your ARDS is moderate-to-severe (oxygen level ratio PaO2/FiO2 is 200 or less while on PEEP 5)
- You are deeply sedated and receiving controlled ventilation
- You can safely use a bedside lung-monitoring scan (EIT) with no chest injuries/wounds that prevent it

This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
This study looks at how the lungs react when they collapse or overinflate during mechanical ventilation in people with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It aims to find better ways to adjust breathing support to improve outcomes.
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 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 tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
This trial uses a special lung imaging technique (EIT) to guide ventilator settings for people with ARDS. It may help improve breathing support and reduce lung injury.
