Inhaled Nitric Oxide for ARDS Patients on Non-Invasive Breathing Support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas you breathe in) can improve oxygen delivery to your lungs in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are using non-invasive breathing support instead of a breathing tube. The goal is to help your lungs deliver oxygen more efficiently to your blood.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You have ARDS and are receiving non-invasive breathing support (mask or high-flow oxygen) with specific oxygen levels
- You are awake, alert, and can follow instructions and hold your breath for at least 8 seconds
- You do not have signs of severe respiratory failure that would require immediate intubation (such as very fast breathing or dangerously high carbon dioxide levels)
- You do not have unstable heart function, severe bleeding, or a pacemaker/implantable defibrillator in your chest
- You are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and not currently in another clinical trial

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 nitric oxide gas through a breathing tube helps people with a lung condition called ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) recover and leave the intensive care unit sooner. It may help some patients with mild-to-moderate cases who need a ventilator and a central line.
This trial tests whether breathing in nitric oxide gas can improve oxygen levels in adults with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (a serious lung condition often caused by pneumonia or sepsis). If you have this condition and meet the requirements, you may be able to join.
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.
