Finding best breathing support for lung injury after trauma or surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a way to set breathing machine pressures using electrical imaging of the lungs. It aims to find the best settings for patients with lung injury after trauma or major surgery, helping them breathe better with less damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit
- You have moderate to severe lung injury (ARDS) caused by trauma or recent surgery
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You do not have a severe brain injury, active stroke, or high pressure inside your skull
- You do not have a collapsed lung or trapped air in your chest from chest injury
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a pacemaker/ICD

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 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 tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
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 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 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.
