Using electrical guidance to improve lung recruitment in children with ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a special way to open up the lungs in children with severe breathing problems. It uses electrical signals to guide how much air pressure is safe, which might help children recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 10 years old.
- Your child must have a lung condition called pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (pARDS), which makes it hard for them to breathe.
- Your child must be on a breathing machine (ventilator) for less than 48 hours at the start of the study.
- Your child must not have had a collapsed lung or other lung pressure injury in the past.
- Your child must not have a significant heart defect, high pressure in the skull, or an implantable heart device (ICD).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses a special lung imaging belt (EIT) to see if the lungs are over-inflated in patients with severe breathing problems (ARDS) when they lie on their stomach. It aims to help doctors adjust ventilator settings for better lung protection.
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 study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
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.
