Inhaled nitric oxide and prone positioning for ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have moderate to severe ARDS and are on a breathing machine.
- You do not have severe asthma, COPD, lung tumor, or prior lung surgery/transplant.
- You are not on high doses of blood pressure medications.
- Your lung condition is not mainly caused by heart failure.

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 tests whether inhaling nitric oxide gas can improve how well oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood in people with ARDS who are using noninvasive breathing support like a CPAP or high-flow nasal oxygen. It may help doctors understand if this treatment can improve lung function and potentially reduce the need for a breathing tube.
This study looks at how placing patients on their stomach (prone positioning) affects those with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to learn more about the best practices for this treatment in the ICU.
This study tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
This study tests whether giving inhaled nitric oxide gas helps improve lung function in patients on a breathing tube with mild to moderate acute lung injury (ARDS). Participants will receive standard care plus the study gas, and the team will use special imaging to see how the lungs respond.
This trial studies how lying on your stomach (prone positioning) affects blood flow in the brain during severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to predict and prevent brain problems that might occur with this treatment.
