Side versus belly lying for ARDS patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares lying on your side versus lying on your belly to improve oxygen levels in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors choose the best position to help you breathe better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have ARDS that started less than 5 days ago and your oxygen level is very low despite treatment
- You or a family member have given permission for you to join
- You have health insurance
- You do not weigh more than 100 kg (about 220 pounds)
- You do not have a pacemaker or similar device that prevents using a chest monitoring belt

This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
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 study compares two breathing support methods (APRV and BiPAP) to see which helps people with ARDS (a severe lung condition) breathe better. Participation may help find a more effective approach for recovery.
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.
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 whether lying on your side (a special position) can help improve lung function in people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It uses a device that measures how well your lungs are working without any radiation.
