Studying shortness of breath in children with acute respiratory distress
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how shortness of breath (dyspnea) relates to the progression of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), a severe lung condition in children. It aims to understand breathing difficulties better to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Patient must be under 18 years old.
- Patient must have a diagnosis of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) based on 2023 criteria.
- A legal guardian must provide consent.
- Patient must not have a tracheostomy, neuromuscular disease, or uncorrected congenital heart disease.
- Patient must not have contraindications to esophageal catheter or EIT monitoring (e.g., esophageal issues, pacemaker, defibrillator, unstable fractures).
- Patient must not have been emergently intubated.

This study tests how much air to put in a small balloon in the esophagus (feeding tube-like device) to measure lung pressure more accurately. It is for children on a breathing machine whose settings are stable for the next 2 hours.
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool to help the care team manage treatment for children with PARDS who are just starting a breathing machine. It may help clinicians choose care steps and potentially support safer, more effective breathing management during the first days of ventilation.
This trial uses a special imaging tool (EIT) to find the best air pressure in the breathing tube for children on a ventilator. It aims to improve lung function in children with a lung condition called PARDS.
This study looks at the real-world features, treatments, and outcomes of people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. If you are on certain types of breathing support and meet the oxygen and lung scan criteria, your participation may help improve care for others with this condition.
This study looks at how elevation (altitude) affects the recovery of children with a serious lung condition called ARDS who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at children who come to the emergency room with breathing problems. It aims to understand what causes these problems and how they affect children, which could help improve care.
