Testing early EIT monitoring in people with ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have ARDS based on the study’s 2012 definition.
- You started invasive breathing support (an endotracheal breathing tube) less than 36 hours ago.
- Your current oxygen level is low (PaO2/FiO2 less than 150).
- You can safely be placed in the prone position (lying on your stomach) if needed.

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 is testing a special way to open up the lungs in children with severe breathing problems. It uses electrical signals to guide how much air pressure is safe, which might help children recover faster.
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.
This study is testing a new way to monitor lung function using a 3D electrical imaging device (EIT) while patients with ARDS lie on their stomach to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this imaging helps doctors better understand how the lungs are working.
This trial uses a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to find the best ventilator settings for patients with acute breathing failure. It may help doctors tailor treatment to improve lung function.
This trial tests a special monitoring technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) to help doctors set the best breathing machine pressure for people with ARDS. It may help improve oxygen levels and protect the lungs.
