Awake lying on stomach for severe chest crisis
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if lying on your stomach while awake can help people with sickle cell disease who are in intensive care for severe acute chest syndrome. It may improve breathing and reduce the need for a ventilator.

This trial tests if the drug tocilizumab can help treat acute chest syndrome, a serious lung complication of sickle cell disease. It is for people with sickle cell disease who are hospitalized and need oxygen or breathing support. The study compares tocilizumab to a placebo to see if it speeds up recovery.
This trial tests whether lying on your stomach (prone position) while awake can help people with pneumonia breathe better and avoid needing a breathing tube. It is for patients in the ICU or step-down unit who need high-flow oxygen therapy.
This trial checks whether it’s safe and doable to help people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) start standing early, while they are closely monitored. It may help some patients begin upright movement sooner, with the goal of improving safety.
This trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
This trial tests whether CPAP, a breathing machine that helps keep your airways open, can improve oxygen levels in adults with sickle cell disease who are hospitalized for acute chest syndrome. It aims to see if CPAP can help you breathe better and recover faster.
This trial tests whether lying on your stomach (prone positioning) while awake can help you breathe better when you are in the ICU with low oxygen levels. It may reduce the need for a breathing tube.
