Prone position study for ARDS patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on a breathing machine (intubated).
- You have moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung condition).
- You are placed in the prone position (lying face down) for at least 10 hours.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a hole in the heart (cardiac shunt), blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism), or need a heart-lung machine (ECMO).

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.
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 study compares lying face down continuously for a long time versus lying face down for shorter periods each day. It is for patients with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung condition) who are on a breathing machine. The goal is to see which approach helps the lungs recover better.
This trial tests a new way to adjust breathing machine settings for people with a lung condition called ARDS. The adjustments are based on detailed monitoring of the heart and lungs, aiming to improve recovery.
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who need a breathing machine. It tests how long lying on your stomach (prone position) helps improve breathing, by measuring changes in your body's oxygen levels and other vital signs.
This Phase 2 study tests whether using an inflatable air bag can improve how well the lungs stretch and work for people with ARDS while they are lying face-down (prone) on a ventilator. If you qualify, the study may help determine whether this positioning support improves breathing and lung comfort.
