Elastic power in acute respiratory distress syndrome
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial is studying a lung function measurement called elastic power in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS. It may help doctors better understand and manage this serious breathing problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
- You do not have a history of emphysema, asthma, or a collapsed lung (pneumothorax)
- Your oxygen level is above 90% and you do not have severe instability requiring high doses of blood pressure medication or other serious conditions
- You are not pregnant and do not have a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a new way to predict how serious ARDS (a severe lung injury from pneumonia) is and the chance of death. Doctors will measure something called "elastic power" to see if it helps guide treatment for patients on a breathing machine.
This trial studies two ways to measure how much of your lungs can open up again (recruitability) to help doctors set the best breathing machine pressure. It may help improve oxygen levels in patients with severe lung injury.
This study tests whether adjusting ventilator settings based on how well your lungs respond can improve oxygen and reduce damage in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, within the first 36 hours of diagnosis.
This trial tests the safety of using lower PEEP breathing settings during care for ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support settings for people on a breathing machine.
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 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.
