Lung blood flow switching for severe ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way of managing blood flow in the lungs for people with a severe lung condition called ARDS. It aims to improve oxygen levels by gently switching blood flow on and off in the lungs, which may help you recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult currently on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- You must have been diagnosed with moderate to severe ARDS within the last 72 hours.
- You must not have a chronic lung disease that requires ongoing oxygen therapy (such as pulmonary fibrosis or COPD).
- You must not have certain conditions that interfere with the monitoring device (like an active implant, chest deformity, or open chest wound).
- You must not have an untreated collapsed lung, unstable blood pressure, or be pregnant.

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 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 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 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 two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on 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.
