Lung imaging study for ICU patients with ARDS
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses two types of lung imaging (electrical impedance tomography and ultrasound) to see how the lungs change during breathing. It is for adults in the ICU with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are already on a ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 24 hours in the ICU.
- You must have been diagnosed with moderate or severe ARDS (a serious lung condition) by the doctor.
- You cannot have any implanted electronic devices, like a pacemaker or defibrillator.
- If you are pregnant, you cannot take part.
- You or a legal representative must be able to agree to the study.

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 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 uses a special lung imaging belt (EIT) to see if the lungs are over-inflated in patients with severe breathing problems (ARDS) when they lie on their stomach. It aims to help doctors adjust ventilator settings for better lung protection.
This study tests a new way to adjust breathing machine settings using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a non-invasive imaging technique, to improve lung function in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help reduce lung injury and speed up recovery.
This study looks at scan images to better predict the risk of a serious lung complication (barotrauma) in people with ARDS. It may help doctors choose safer treatment strategies in the ICU.
This study is testing a new way to monitor lung function using a 3D electrical imaging device (EIT) while patients with ARDS lie on their stomach to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this imaging helps doctors better understand how the lungs are working.
