Selective lung opening for moderate to severe ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special breathing technique (lung recruitment) to open up collapsed areas in the lungs of people with moderate to severe ARDS. It may help improve oxygen levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung condition) with low oxygen levels.
- You are sedated and given medication to temporarily relax your muscles.
- A CT scan or ultrasound shows a dense area in the back and bottom part of your lungs.
- You are covered by French social security insurance.
- You are not pregnant, are not under legal guardianship, and have stable blood pressure.

This study looks at a specific breathing event (“avalanche phenomenon”) when the lungs are opened in people with early, moderate-to-severe ARDS. The goal is to understand what’s happening in the lungs and whether it can guide better care.
This trial studies two ways to measure how much of your lungs can open up again (recruitability) to help doctors set the best breathing machine pressure. It may help improve oxygen levels in patients with severe lung injury.
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 checks if a lung test called the recruitment-to-inflation ratio gives the same result when done more than once. The test helps doctors understand how much of the lung can be opened up with more pressure from the breathing machine. This may help improve care for patients with severe lung injury.
This study tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
This study tests a new way to adjust breathing machine settings using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a non-invasive imaging technique, to improve lung function in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help reduce lung injury and speed up recovery.
