Assessing lung injury risk in ventilated patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the risk of lung injury in patients on a ventilator who have ARDS (a severe lung inflammation). It aims to better understand how the lungs respond and to find safer breathing settings for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung injury that makes it hard to breathe.
- You must not have long-term lung diseases like emphysema or asthma, or a recent collapsed lung.
- You must not be currently unstable (e.g., very low oxygen levels, shock needing strong drugs, serious heart problems, or uncontrolled brain pressure).
- Your esophagus must be healthy enough for placing a small balloon tube (no varices, narrowing, recent surgery, or bleeding).
- You must be able to have a CT scan (body weight under 170 kg and belly size under 200 cm).

This study looks at why some people on breathing tubes develop lung damage from stomach acid getting into the lungs. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat this injury.
This study tests a different way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) for people with lung injury (ARDS) to see if it helps them recover better. You might be able to join if you are already on a ventilator in the ICU and meet certain health conditions.
This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
This trial tests a new way to adjust the amount of air given by the ventilator to people with a severe lung injury called ARDS. The goal is to see if a specific breathing strategy can help protect the lungs and improve recovery.
This study looks at how different settings on a breathing machine (ventilator) affect lung function in people with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors choose better settings to protect your lungs.
