Electrical impedance guided ventilator settings for breathing failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with acute low-oxygen respiratory failure in the last 48 hours
- Your doctor expects you to need a breathing machine for at least 48 hours
- You are already on a breathing machine and within 24 hours of starting it
- You are deeply sedated and receiving medications to temporarily paralyze muscles

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.
This trial tests a new way to monitor breathing for people on a ventilator during surgery or in intensive care. It aims to improve care by combining advanced monitoring methods.
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 study uses two lung imaging tests—CT scan and EIT (a non-invasive electrical test)—to find the best ventilator pressure for people with sudden breathing failure. The goal is to tailor settings to your lungs and potentially improve breathing support.
This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
This trial studies two different ways of using a ventilator to help people with moderately severe to severe lung failure (ARDS) breathe. It aims to find which method works better for recovery.
