Testing special breathing monitoring during VV-ECMO in ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial checks whether a special “breathing sensor belt” that watches breathing in real time can be used safely in adults with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a machine called VV-ECMO. It may help the care team better monitor ventilation while you’re critically ill.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have ARDS and are currently supported by venovenous (VV) ECMO
- You (or your legal representative) can give written consent to join the study
- You are covered by France’s social security system
- You are able to safely wear a chest sensor belt (no major chest/spine injury or very recent chest surgery)

This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine settings based on lung pressure (driving pressure) can improve how oxygen reaches your blood and help your heart function in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find safer ways to support breathing.
This study tests if the position of a special inflatable belt (used to see how your lungs are doing) changes how doctors set the best breathing pressure for patients with ARDS. It aims to find the best way to adjust the ventilator to help your lungs heal.
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine to protect the lungs in people who are on ECMO (a machine that adds oxygen to the blood) for severe ARDS (a serious lung condition). If you qualify, you might get a treatment approach that could help your lungs heal better.
This trial tests a bedside breathing and lung-monitoring method that uses small electrodes on the chest. It is meant for people with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung inflammation problem) who are on a breathing machine, to help guide care.
This trial tests whether a special chest sensor (called electrical impedance tomography, or EIT) can help doctors distribute breathing support more effectively in children with sudden breathing failure. It may help optimize ventilation while the child is being monitored in intensive care or during anesthesia.
This study looks at whether a special chest “vest” and related lung measurements can improve breathing in people with sudden severe lung failure who need a breathing machine. You may be eligible if you have ARDS and can safely use the vest during mechanical ventilation.
