Measuring elastic power to guide breathing machine settings for ARDS
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial is studying a new way to measure lung stiffness in patients with severe breathing problems (ARDS). The goal is to use this measurement to improve how the breathing machine is adjusted, which may help your lungs recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- You do not have a history of emphysema, asthma, or a collapsed lung (pneumothorax).
- You are stable enough to safely adjust the settings on your breathing machine.
- You are not pregnant and do not have a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order.

This study is testing how different settings on a breathing machine affect your breathing effort and drive. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings for patients with severe low oxygen levels.
This study compares two ways of measuring how well your lungs can open up, to help doctors find the best breathing machine settings for you. It aims to improve oxygen levels and breathing support in the intensive care unit.
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 looks at how the energy from a breathing machine affects the lungs of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It aims to find the best settings to help lungs heal while on a ventilator.
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 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.
