Lung imaging-guided breathing therapy for patients on ventilators for weeks
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special lung imaging technique called EIT can help guide breathing exercises and physical therapy for people who have been on a breathing machine for 21 days or more. The goal is to see if this approach helps your lungs work better and speeds up recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) continuously for at least 21 days.
- Your medical team believes you are stable enough to start breathing exercises and physical therapy.
- You are expected to stay on the breathing machine for at least 48 more hours after joining the study.
- You or your family can agree to the study in writing.

This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
This trial uses a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to find the best ventilator settings for patients with acute breathing failure. It may help doctors tailor treatment to improve lung function.
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 looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
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 uses a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to help doctors guide early and precise rehabilitation for patients who are having a hard time getting off a breathing machine. The goal is to find better ways to support your recovery.
