Measuring breathing machine energy to improve lung recovery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the energy from a breathing machine affects the lungs of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It aims to find the best settings to help lungs heal while on a ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of ARDS (a severe lung condition).
- You must be on a breathing machine (ventilator) that controls your breathing for at least 48 hours.
- You must be fully sedated and not breathing on your own.
- You must not have a tracheostomy (a tube in your throat for breathing).
- You must not have other lung diseases or a terminal illness that would affect your survival.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
This study looks at better ways to protect the lungs during mechanical ventilation (breathing support) for people with ARDS, a serious lung injury. It aims to find ways to reduce additional damage to the lungs while on a ventilator.
This trial is studying a new way to measure lung stiffness in patients with severe breathing problems (ARDS). The goal is to use this measurement to improve how the breathing machine is adjusted, which may help your lungs recover better.
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 looks at a new measure called 'mechanical power' (the energy from the breathing machine) to see if it can predict inflammation in the lungs and blood of patients with low oxygen levels. It may help doctors better understand how the breathing machine affects lung damage.
This study looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
