EIT-guided lung opening in children with ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to adjust breathing machine settings using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a non-invasive imaging technique, to improve lung function in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help reduce lung injury and speed up recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 10 years old
- They have been diagnosed with pediatric ARDS (using standard criteria)
- They have been on a breathing machine for less than 48 hours at the time of joining the study
- No history of lung injury from air leaks (like a collapsed lung)
- No significant congenital heart disease
- No known or suspected high pressure in the brain
- No implanted defibrillator (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 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 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 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.
