Ventilator-induced kidney injury in ARDS
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the way a breathing machine (ventilator) is used might affect the kidneys in patients with severe lung injury. It aims to find patterns that could prevent kidney damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must have moderate or severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as defined by the Berlin Definition
- Must have been on a ventilator for less than 7 days
- Cannot have acute or chronic liver failure
- Cannot have chronic kidney failure or severe acute kidney injury (stage 3)
- Cannot be in a prone position (lying face down) or have a do-not-resuscitate order

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a non-invasive ultrasound of the kidneys (renal Doppler) to see if it can predict acute kidney injury—sudden kidney damage—in patients who are on a ventilator for ARDS. If you qualify, you will help doctors learn a safer way to monitor kidney health.
This study tests if the position of a special inflatable belt (used to see how your lungs are doing) changes how doctors set the best breathing pressure for patients with ARDS. It aims to find the best way to adjust the ventilator to help your lungs heal.
This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine settings based on lung pressure (driving pressure) can improve how oxygen reaches your blood and help your heart function in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find safer ways to support breathing.
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 looks at whether kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function) affects how well and how quickly people in the ICU can come off a breathing machine. If you are on a ventilator and your kidneys are being monitored, this trial may help doctors understand your recovery.
This study tests a different way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) for people with lung injury (ARDS) to see if it helps them recover better. You might be able to join if you are already on a ventilator in the ICU and meet certain health conditions.
