Breathing Machine Strategy to Protect the Heart in ARDS
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have ARDS (severe lung inflammation) caused by pneumonia
- Your blood oxygen level is low (PaO2/FiO2 of 200 or less)
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and have been for less than 48 hours
- You do not have a history of pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs)

This study looks at how the level of pressure from a breathing machine affects blood flow back to the heart in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors find the best settings to protect your heart while helping your lungs.
This study tests a breathing machine strategy to prevent further lung damage in people with severe ARDS. It uses special monitors to guide the machine settings, aiming to protect the lungs.
This trial tests a new way to adjust the amount of air given by the ventilator to people with a severe lung injury called ARDS. The goal is to see if a specific breathing strategy can help protect the lungs and improve recovery.
This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine settings based on lung pressure (driving pressure) can improve how oxygen reaches your blood and help your heart function in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find safer ways to support breathing.
