Imaging test to predict lung injury risk in ARDS
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at scan images to better predict the risk of a serious lung complication (barotrauma) in people with ARDS. It may help doctors choose safer treatment strategies in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have ARDS confirmed by both symptoms and chest imaging, based on study guidelines
- You need ICU (intensive care) admission for your illness
- You (or your legally authorized representative) can give signed informed consent
- You must be able to get chest imaging that is clear enough for the study (not blurred by movement or breathing artifacts)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for markers in the blood and signs of air trapped in the lung tissue of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It uses CT scans to understand why air leaks happen and if certain lab tests can predict them.
This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
This trial uses a special lung imaging belt (EIT) to see if the lungs are over-inflated in patients with severe breathing problems (ARDS) when they lie on their stomach. It aims to help doctors adjust ventilator settings for better lung protection.
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 uses two types of lung imaging (electrical impedance tomography and ultrasound) to see how the lungs change during breathing. It is for adults in the ICU with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are already on a ventilator.
This study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
