Breathing machine settings for severe lung injury
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine settings based on lung pressure (driving pressure) can improve how oxygen reaches your blood and help your heart function in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find safer ways to support breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a serious lung injury called moderate to severe ARDS.
- You are on a breathing machine and given medicine to keep you asleep and temporarily paralyzed.
- You must be able to give consent (or have a family member give it for you).
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have a pacemaker, certain heart devices, or need high doses of heart medicines or IV fluids.

This study tests if the position of a special inflatable belt (used to see how your lungs are doing) changes how doctors set the best breathing pressure for patients with ARDS. It aims to find the best way to adjust the ventilator to help your lungs heal.
This study looks at how the breathing machine settings and lung function can help predict recovery in people with severe ARDS. You may be able to join if you are on a ventilator for sudden lung failure and have severe ARDS, as long as you don't have certain other health issues.
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 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 breathing machine strategy to prevent further lung damage in people with severe ARDS. It uses special monitors to guide the machine settings, aiming to protect the lungs.
This trial tests a new way to adjust the amount of air given by the ventilator to people with a severe lung injury called ARDS. The goal is to see if a specific breathing strategy can help protect the lungs and improve recovery.
