Breathing machine pressure and fluid buildup in ARDS patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be in the intensive care unit and on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- You must have a severe lung condition called ARDS, where your blood oxygen is low and your lungs have fluid and inflammation.
- You must not be on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO).
- You must not have serious heart problems, severe liver disease, or a collapsed lung.
- You must not be pregnant or have recently given birth.

This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
This study compares two ways of measuring how well your lungs can open up, to help doctors find the best breathing machine settings for you. It aims to improve oxygen levels and breathing support in the intensive care unit.
This trial tests a special breathing machine strategy that uses pressure measurements from a small tube in your esophagus (food pipe) to protect your heart's right side while treating ARDS caused by pneumonia. It may help if you have severe lung failure and need a ventilator.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
This study looks at better ways to protect the lungs during mechanical ventilation (breathing support) for people with ARDS, a serious lung injury. It aims to find ways to reduce additional damage to the lungs while on a ventilator.
This study is testing how different settings on a breathing machine affect your breathing effort and drive. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings for patients with severe low oxygen levels.
