Variable breathing settings for lung injury
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way of setting the breathing machine for people with a lung condition called ARDS. It may help improve breathing and recovery compared to standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU and have been for less than 96 hours
- You have a lung injury called ARDS, which means your lungs have trouble getting oxygen, and you have been on the ventilator for less than 4 days
- You are expected to need the breathing machine for at least 2 more days in a controlled way
- You do not have severe heart, lung, or brain conditions that would make the trial unsafe
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or a prisoner, and you are not in another drug trial

This trial is testing new treatments for people with ARDS, a serious lung condition. The goal is to find therapies that help patients breathe better and recover faster. If you or a loved one has ARDS, this study may offer access to experimental treatments.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
This study tests a computer system that gives real-time breathing machine advice to help protect the lungs of patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors adjust the ventilator settings to cause less damage.
This study compares two breathing support methods (APRV and BiPAP) to see which helps people with ARDS (a severe lung condition) breathe better. Participation may help find a more effective approach for recovery.
This trial tests a more tailored way to set the amount of air delivered by a ventilator in people with severe ARDS. The goal is to see if personalized breathing settings can improve breathing and heart-related monitoring while patients are in intensive care.
