Variable breathing machine settings for lung injury
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a different way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) for people with lung injury (ARDS) to see if it helps them recover better. You might be able to join if you are already on a ventilator in the ICU and meet certain health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older and in an intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have a lung condition called ARDS, which means your lungs are injured and you need a breathing machine.
- You have been on the breathing machine for less than 4 days (96 hours).
- Your doctor expects you will need the breathing machine for at least 2 more days.
- You are not pregnant, and you are not participating in another drug study.
- You do not have severe chronic lung disease, recent heart attack or stroke, or major burns.

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 trial tests two types of breathing support (APRV and BiPAP) to see which works better for people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It may help improve breathing and recovery for those on a ventilator.
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 looks at how different settings on a breathing machine (ventilator) affect lung function in people with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors choose better settings to protect your lungs.
This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine settings based on lung pressure (driving pressure) can improve how oxygen reaches your blood and help your heart function in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find safer ways to support breathing.
