Electric imaging to guide breathing machine settings for ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to set the breathing machine's pressure can improve oxygen levels and lung function in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are on a breathing tube with moderate to severe ARDS (a lung injury causing low oxygen levels).
- You are receiving continuous sedation (medicine to keep you calm and sleepy), with or without paralysis medication.

This study tests a way to set breathing machine pressures using electrical imaging of the lungs. It aims to find the best settings for patients with lung injury after trauma or major surgery, helping them breathe better with less damage.
This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
This trial tests a new way of temporarily stopping blood flow to the lungs (in a cycle) to help people with moderate to severe ARDS breathe better on a ventilator. It may help reduce lung damage and improve oxygen levels.
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 study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
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.
