Study on lung testing and breathing machine settings for ARDS
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on a breathing machine and have a type of lung failure called ARDS with low oxygen levels.
- You are sedated and have a special tube in your food pipe to measure lung pressure.
- You or a family member must agree in writing to join the study.
- You are 18 years or older and not pregnant.
- Your medical team says it is safe to try a lung opening maneuver.
- Your blood pressure and heart rate are stable.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
This trial tests a bedside breathing and lung-monitoring method that uses small electrodes on the chest. It is meant for people with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung inflammation problem) who are on a breathing machine, to help guide care.
This trial checks if a lung test called the recruitment-to-inflation ratio gives the same result when done more than once. The test helps doctors understand how much of the lung can be opened up with more pressure from the breathing machine. This may help improve care for patients with severe lung injury.
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 tests a method called EIT-guided PEEP titration to find the best ventilator pressure setting for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are also placed face down (prone) to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this helps your lungs recover better.
This trial tests a special monitoring technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) to help doctors set the best breathing machine pressure for people with ARDS. It may help improve oxygen levels and protect the lungs.
