ARDS

This study tested whether using a CT scan to guide breathing machine settings could lower the death rate in people with ARDS, a severe lung injury. 420 adults were split into two groups: one received standard care, and the other had settings based on their lung CT pattern. The ma…

This study tested two ways of helping patients with a tracheotomy (a tube in the throat) breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. The goal was to see if a method called NAVA works better than the standard PSV method. 130 adults with ARDS took part. The researchers measur…

This study looked at whether lying face down (prone positioning) helps hospitalized COVID-19 patients who have low oxygen levels but are not able to use a breathing machine. About 600 adults took part. The goal was to see if this simple position change could lower the chance of d…

This study looked at why placing patients with severe lung failure (ARDS) on their stomachs improves breathing. Researchers used ultrasound to measure lung changes in 60 adults, including those with COVID-19. The goal was to understand who responds best to this position and why.

This study looked at 543 people who survived severe COVID-19 lung damage (ARDS) to see how their social and economic background affected their recovery. Researchers measured physical and mental health six months after leaving the hospital. The goal is to create personalized suppo…

This study tested a new way to monitor lung function in 120 patients with severe breathing failure (ARDS) who were on a ventilator. Researchers used a special imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to see how different ventilator settings affected lung ope…

This study looked at why antibiotics often fail to treat pneumonia in COVID-19 patients on breathing machines. Researchers measured how much of the antibiotic piperacillin reaches the lung fluid in 34 adults with severe lung injury. The goal was to understand if poor drug penetra…
