Muscle relaxants and stomach positioning for ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining two treatments—medications that relax muscles (neuromuscular blocking agents) and lying on your stomach (prone positioning)—can reduce lung damage in people with severe ARDS on a breathing machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two ways to adjust ventilator settings for patients with severe lung injury whose oxygen levels are very low. It aims to find out the best level of breathing support and whether giving muscle relaxants during prone positioning helps improve oxygen levels.
This trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
This study compares two ways of giving a muscle relaxant medicine to people who are on a breathing machine due to severe lung failure. It aims to find out which method helps improve breathing and recovery.
This trial studies how lying face down (prone position) affects breathing in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors better monitor and treat patients on a breathing machine.
This study looks at how placing patients on their stomach (prone positioning) affects those with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to learn more about the best practices for this treatment in the ICU.
