Brain Outcomes in Severe Lung Failure Patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study examines why some patients with severe acute lung failure (ARDS) develop brain complications while on life support. Researchers will use special monitoring tools to understand how breathing support affects brain health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You were admitted to intensive care (ICU) within the last 48 hours
- You have been diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)—severe difficulty breathing requiring ventilator support—based on oxygen levels in your blood
- A special catheter (thin tube) measuring pressure in your esophagus has been or will be placed
- You have health insurance or are covered by a social security scheme
- You (or a trusted family member if you cannot decide) agree to participate

This trial looks at how changes in lung pressure during breathing might affect recovery in patients with severe ARDS who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It could help doctors improve treatment for people with this serious lung condition.
This study looks at how the breathing machine settings and lung function can help predict recovery in people with severe ARDS. You may be able to join if you are on a ventilator for sudden lung failure and have severe ARDS, as long as you don't have certain other health issues.
This trial studies two ways to measure how much of your lungs can open up again (recruitability) to help doctors set the best breathing machine pressure. It may help improve oxygen levels in patients with severe lung injury.
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 trial observes the symptoms, treatments, and recovery of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. It aims to learn more about how different types of breathing support affect outcomes.
This trial looks at how the lung and brain communicate during serious breathing problems. If you are in the ICU with a new breathing issue and need high-flow oxygen therapy, researchers want to study your brain and lung activity together.
