Prone positioning for ARDS: checking brain blood flow
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial studies how lying on your stomach (prone positioning) affects blood flow in the brain during severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to predict and prevent brain problems that might occur with this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a severe lung condition called ARDS with very low oxygen levels, and your doctor has decided you need to lie on your stomach to help breathing.
- You are expected to need a breathing machine for more than 48 hours.
- You or your family must agree to join the study by signing a consent form.

This study tests whether early prone positioning (lying on your stomach) and early tube feeding can help people with severe lung failure in the ICU recover faster. It's for adults with organ failure and severe ARDS who can safely be placed on their stomach.
This trial studies how lying face down (prone position) affects breathing in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help doctors better monitor and treat patients on a breathing machine.
This study looks at how placing patients on their stomach (prone positioning) affects those with serious lung failure (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to learn more about the best practices for this treatment in the ICU.
This trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
This study compares lying face down continuously for a long time versus lying face down for shorter periods each day. It is for patients with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung condition) who are on a breathing machine. The goal is to see which approach helps the lungs recover better.
