Real-world study of breathing emergencies in ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at why some patients develop severe breathing problems in the ICU. It focuses on people who already have conditions like severe infections, injuries, or heavy bleeding that can stress the lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung or body-wide condition that could make you very short of breath (like pneumonia, sepsis, major injury, or needing many blood transfusions).
- You or your family agrees to take part and signs a consent form.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You do not have HIV, a weak immune system (like leukemia), or have had an organ or bone marrow transplant.
- You are not currently taking certain medicines that boost white blood cells (G-CSF or GM-CSF).
- You have not chosen to stop all active medical treatment.

This study is for patients in the ICU with ARDS (a severe lung condition). It looks at biomarkers (special substances in your blood) to help understand different types of ARDS. You do not receive any treatment, but you help researchers learn more about the disease.
This trial tests a new way of setting the breathing machine for people with a lung condition called ARDS. It may help improve breathing and recovery compared to standard care.
This study looks at how doctors safely remove breathing tubes from patients with lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find ways to improve decisions about when to take the tube out.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
This study tests a computer system that gives real-time breathing machine advice to help protect the lungs of patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors adjust the ventilator settings to cause less damage.
This study examines lung fluid samples and imaging scans from patients on breathing machines to better understand acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. Researchers hope this will help doctors diagnose and treat ARDS more effectively in the future.
