Testing low PEEP breathing steps in ARDS care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests the safety of using lower PEEP breathing settings during care for ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support settings for people on a breathing machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have ARDS (a serious lung injury that affects breathing)
- You are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) currently
- Your care team is planning or using low PEEP breathing steps as part of ARDS management
- You are willing to join and do not refuse participation

This trial looks at how much breathing effort changes when the ventilator uses a higher pressure in people who are recovering from ARDS. The goal is to predict who will respond better so care can be adjusted more safely and effectively.
This study compares different ways of setting the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP – the pressure that helps keep your lungs open on the ventilator) to find the best approach for people with moderate-to-severe ARDS. It uses existing sensors – an esophageal pressure probe and a chest impedance belt – to guide the settings, which may improve breathing support and recovery.
This study tests whether a customized breathing machine approach ("precision ventilation") is better than usual care for patients with ARDS. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and recovery while avoiding lung damage.
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
This study tests a breathing machine strategy to prevent further lung damage in people with severe ARDS. It uses special monitors to guide the machine settings, aiming to protect the lungs.
This study tests two different methods to help doctors adjust breathing machine settings for patients with severe lung injury. The trial compares gentle chest/belly compressions with a special imaging technique to find the safest pressure levels.
