Guiding breathing help with lung imaging vs. pressure in ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to set the breathing machine for people with ARDS (a serious lung injury). One method uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to see how the lungs are working, while the other uses pressure measurements. The goal is to find the best way to adjust ventilator support to help you breathe more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be diagnosed with ARDS based on the 2023 definition.
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You cannot have severe chronic lung diseases like COPD, asthma, or lung damage (bullae, pneumothorax).
- You cannot have conditions that interfere with the imaging belt, such as chest wounds, a pacemaker, or a defibrillator.
- You cannot have untreated shock, high pressure in the brain, or be pregnant or just postpartum.

This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
This trial tests a special monitoring technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) to help doctors set the best breathing machine pressure for people with ARDS. It may help improve oxygen levels and protect the lungs.
This trial uses a special lung imaging technique (EIT) to guide ventilator settings for people with ARDS. It may help improve breathing support and reduce lung injury.
This study is testing a new way to monitor lung function using a 3D electrical imaging device (EIT) while patients with ARDS lie on their stomach to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this imaging helps doctors better understand how the lungs are working.
This study tests two different methods to help doctors adjust breathing machine settings for patients with severe lung injury. The trial compares gentle chest/belly compressions with a special imaging technique to find the safest pressure levels.
This study tests a method called EIT-guided PEEP titration to find the best ventilator pressure setting for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are also placed face down (prone) to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this helps your lungs recover better.
