Belt position and lung pressure in severe breathing failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether the position of a belt around the chest changes how doctors find the best air pressure setting for a breathing tube. It uses a special imaging method to look at the lungs, which may help improve oxygen levels in people with severe lung failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Severe lung failure (ARDS) within the last 3 days
- Must be on a breathing tube with full breathing support
- No recent chest injury, pacemaker, or heart-lung machine
- No collapsed lung (pneumothorax) or uncontrolled shock
- Must be over 18 and have consent from family

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how an EIT belt (a special belt that tracks how well your lungs are working) is used in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors see how the lungs are doing in real time.
This study tests a specific breathing machine setting for people with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The goal is to see if adjusting the machine to match the patient's lung pressure can improve oxygen and blood flow. This may help guide care for patients who are already deeply sedated and paralyzed.
This study looks at how the lungs react when they collapse or overinflate during mechanical ventilation in people with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It aims to find better ways to adjust breathing support to improve outcomes.
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.
This study tests a smarter way to set the breathing machine's pressure in people with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are also being turned onto their stomachs to help their lungs. It aims to see if using a special chest monitor (EIT) can improve oxygen levels and lung function.
This study compares two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It aims to see which method may be better for helping your lungs recover, using a special belt to monitor your lungs.
