Testing how deep sedation affects blood flow in ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving deep sedation (and sometimes muscle-paralyzing medicines) changes blood flow and oxygen delivery in the brain during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is a pilot study, meaning it mainly aims to understand safety and gather early information.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult admitted to the ICU
- You have ARDS confirmed by the hospital team
- You are on a breathing machine through a tube (invasive mechanical ventilation)
- Your doctors plan to use deep sedation and/or muscle-relaxing (paralyzing) medicine for ARDS care
- The study team can use monitoring devices on you

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is comparing a new type of inhaled sedative (volatile sedation) to usual IV sedatives for people with ARDS who are on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to see if it can help patients breathe better and recover more quickly.
This study compares two ways of giving oxygen (high-flow nasal oxygen vs a face mask) to see which one keeps brain oxygen levels more stable during procedures done with sedation. If you are having a planned procedure with sedation in a non-operating room setting, this trial might help improve your safety.
This study tests a new bedside monitoring system that tracks brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving sedative medications. It aims to help doctors better manage sedation and improve patient care.
This trial tests a new system to monitor sedation in ICU patients who need a breathing tube and sedation for more than a day. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
This trial compares two different ways of giving sedatives and pain medicine to people who are on a breathing machine and have unstable blood pressure, to see which approach better keeps their heart and blood pressure stable. It will help doctors choose the safest sedation for critically ill patients.
This study tests a specific breathing machine setting for people with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The goal is to see if adjusting the machine to match the patient's lung pressure can improve oxygen and blood flow. This may help guide care for patients who are already deeply sedated and paralyzed.
