Protecting the kidneys in people on a breathing machine
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
The trial is studying whether the way a breathing machine affects the kidneys can be improved to prevent kidney damage. It will look at people with severe lung failure who are on a breathing machine to see if they can avoid acute kidney injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition that makes it hard to breathe.
- You must have been on a breathing machine for less than 7 days.
- You must not have severe kidney problems (either long-term kidney failure or recent severe kidney injury requiring kidney replacement therapy).
- You must not have liver failure, breathing failure from a chronic lung disease or heart failure, or a do-not-resuscitate order.
- You must be able to tolerate changes to how you are being ventilated and not be lying face-down (prone position).

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 trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
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 whether adjusting the pressure on your breathing machine in a specific way can help protect your kidneys while you're on a ventilator for ARDS. It uses ultrasound to monitor your veins and kidney function.
This study looks at better ways to protect the lungs during mechanical ventilation (breathing support) for people with ARDS, a serious lung injury. It aims to find ways to reduce additional damage to the lungs while on a ventilator.
This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
