Lung imaging to check over-inflation in ARDS patients lying on their stomach
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a special lung imaging belt (EIT) to see if the lungs are over-inflated in patients with severe breathing problems (ARDS) when they lie on their stomach. It aims to help doctors adjust ventilator settings for better lung protection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU and have moderate to severe ARDS (severe lung failure) with low oxygen levels.
- You are on a breathing machine, sedated, and given muscle relaxants.
- You are equipped with an EIT belt (a belt that checks lung function).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have a lung air leak (bronchopleural fistula).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
This study uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to check if the lungs are being overstretched when patients with severe breathing problems are placed on their stomach (prone position). It may help doctors adjust breathing machines more safely.
This study is testing a new way to monitor lung function using a 3D electrical imaging device (EIT) while patients with ARDS lie on their stomach to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this imaging helps doctors better understand how the lungs are working.
This trial uses a special lung imaging technique (EIT) to guide ventilator settings for people with ARDS. It may help improve breathing support and reduce lung injury.
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to set the breathing machine's pressure can improve oxygen levels and lung function in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung condition.
This trial uses a special imaging test (electrical impedance tomography) to find the safest side position for patients with lung injury after abdominal surgery in the ICU. It aims to improve oxygen levels and breathing comfort.
