Lung biomarkers and air leaks in severe lung injury
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) with ARDS (a severe lung condition)
- A doctor has diagnosed ARDS using standard criteria (Berlin criteria)
- You are having at least one CT scan of your chest during your hospital stay
- You or your family can sign a consent form to join the study
- The CT scan images must be clear (not blurry from movement)

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.
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 is testing whether certain proteins in the blood (sRAGE, CC16, and Syndecan-1) can help predict if patients with severe chest trauma will develop a serious lung condition called ARDS or have a higher risk of death. By measuring these proteins early, doctors might be able to identify high-risk patients sooner and provide more targeted care.
This study looks at a blood marker (EV-TF) to see whether it helps predict pulmonary embolism—blood clots in the lungs—in people with ARDS who are in the ICU. Results may help doctors better identify who is at higher risk.
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 study examines lung fluid samples and imaging scans from patients on breathing machines to better understand acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. Researchers hope this will help doctors diagnose and treat ARDS more effectively in the future.
