EIT-guided breathing machine settings for ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung condition causing low oxygen) diagnosed within the last 3 days.
- You are expected to need a breathing machine for at least 2 more days.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted device that could interfere with the EIT monitor.
- You do not have a collapsed lung that hasn't been treated.

This trial uses a special lung imaging technique (EIT) to guide ventilator settings for people with ARDS. It may help improve breathing support and reduce lung injury.
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.
This trial tests a personalized ventilation method that adjusts how the breathing machine delivers air based on your lung's air and blood flow match. It aims to improve breathing for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are already on a ventilator and will be placed on their stomach.
This study tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
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 study tests a method called EIT-guided PEEP titration to find the best ventilator pressure setting for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are also placed face down (prone) to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this helps your lungs recover better.
