Precision ventilation for ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You are on a breathing machine and have ARDS (a severe lung problem causing low oxygen).
- Your breathing trouble started less than a week ago, and the ARDS diagnosis was made within the last 3 days.
- You must not have a severe brain injury, uncontrolled bleeding, or certain chronic lung diseases.
- You cannot be on ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine) or have a breathing muscle disease.

This trial tests a more tailored way to set the amount of air delivered by a ventilator in people with severe ARDS. The goal is to see if personalized breathing settings can improve breathing and heart-related monitoring while patients are in intensive care.
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 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 to set the ventilator for people with serious lung injury (ARDS). It tests three lung-protective strategies to find which one helps improve oxygen and lung function.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
