Monitoring lung function with 3D imaging in ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator).
- You must have been diagnosed with ARDS (a serious lung condition).
- Your doctors must recommend lying on your stomach (prone position) to help your breathing.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot have a chest wall deformity.
- You cannot have a device like an implantable defibrillator or pump that would interfere with the electrical imaging (EIT) used in the study.

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 study uses a special chest monitor to find the best ventilator pressure setting for people with ARDS on breathing machines. It aims to improve treatment by tailoring the pressure to each patient's lungs.
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 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 trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
This trial uses a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to find the best ventilator settings for patients with acute breathing failure. It may help doctors tailor treatment to improve lung function.
