Altitude and Outcomes in Children with ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how elevation (altitude) affects the recovery of children with a serious lung condition called ARDS who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month old and 18 years old.
- Your child is in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and needs a breathing machine.
- Your child has been diagnosed with pediatric ARDS (a severe lung injury) within 24 hours of starting the breathing machine.
- Your child does not have an active newborn lung disease (like breathing problems at birth).
- Your child has not been on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO) before or in the first day of the lung problem.
- Your child has no existing orders to limit life support before starting the breathing machine.

This study looks at how severe breathing difficulty (dyspnea) affects the recovery of children with a lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It aims to improve care by tracking symptoms over time.
This trial observes the symptoms, treatments, and recovery of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. It aims to learn more about how different types of breathing support affect outcomes.
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool to help the care team manage treatment for children with PARDS who are just starting a breathing machine. It may help clinicians choose care steps and potentially support safer, more effective breathing management during the first days of ventilation.
This trial tests if lying face-down (prone position) helps children with severe ARDS who are already on ECMO, a machine that supports the heart and lungs. It aims to see if this position improves recovery.
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
This study tests whether adjusting ventilator settings based on how well your lungs respond can improve oxygen and reduce damage in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, within the first 36 hours of diagnosis.
