Inhaled nitric oxide for lung function in ARDS patients on breathing support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether inhaling nitric oxide gas can improve how well oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood in people with ARDS who are using noninvasive breathing support like a CPAP or high-flow nasal oxygen. It may help doctors understand if this treatment can improve lung function and potentially reduce the need for a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have ARDS and are currently using noninvasive breathing support (like CPAP, BiPAP, or high-flow nasal oxygen).
- Your oxygen levels are low despite this support (PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 or SpO2/FiO2 ≤ 315).
- You are awake, able to follow instructions, and can hold your breath for at least 8 seconds.
- You do not have conditions that would make this treatment unsafe, such as severe heart problems, active bleeding, or pregnancy.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
This study tests whether giving inhaled nitric oxide gas helps improve lung function in patients on a breathing tube with mild to moderate acute lung injury (ARDS). Participants will receive standard care plus the study gas, and the team will use special imaging to see how the lungs respond.
This study tests whether breathing in a special gas called nitric oxide can help people with moderate to severe ARDS (a severe form of lung failure that makes it hard to breathe). The gas is used to improve oxygen levels and may help patients on a ventilator recover.
This trial tests whether adding a breathing gas called nitric oxide to standard care helps children with severe lung failure (ARDS) recover faster. It is for children on a breathing machine who still have low oxygen levels.
This study tests two types of breathing support—CPAP (a mask that pushes air into your lungs) and high-flow nasal oxygen (a special tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. It may help you breathe more easily without needing a breathing tube.
