Can lung imaging guide ventilator settings to save lives in ARDS?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether using a lung imaging tool called EIT to set ventilator pressure (PEEP) can improve survival in patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS. The trial will enroll 2400 adults and compare EIT-guided PEEP to the standard method. The main goal is to see if this app…

New sedative could help ventilator patients breathe easier
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether remimazolam, a newer sedative, can improve outcomes for ICU patients who need a breathing tube and sedation. Researchers will compare remimazolam to standard sedatives in 80 adults. The main goal is to see if patients spend more days free from the ventila…

Can switching ventilator mode early save lives? new trial aims to find out
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study looks at whether changing the ventilator settings early—from full control to a mode where the patient does some of the work—helps critically ill adults get off the machine faster. About 1,600 patients across 10 ICUs will be randomly assigned to either early switching o…

Stomach vs. small intestine feeding: which works better for prone ARDS patients?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study looks at 40 adults with severe lung injury (ARDS) who need to lie on their stomachs while on a breathing machine. Researchers want to see if feeding through a tube into the stomach or deeper into the small intestine helps patients get better nutrition and recover faste…

Could a simple test unlock better ARDS treatments?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at 500 adults with a severe lung condition called ARDS to see if they fall into two different inflammatory groups. By identifying these groups, doctors hope to choose the right treatments—like fluids, breathing support, or steroids—for each patient. The goal is t…

Lying face down could save lives: new study investigates best use of prone positioning for ARDS
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study is observing how prone positioning (lying face down) affects patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. Researchers will track 1000 adults in intensive care to see if factors like lung shape or brain injury influence outcomes. The goal is to learn…

New study explores Fine-Tuning ventilators to improve oxygen flow in ARDS
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at how changing the way a ventilator lets patients breathe out (called RCexp) affects air and blood flow in the lungs of people with ARDS. Researchers will use a special imaging technique (EIT) to measure these changes in 60 adults on ventilators. The goal is to …

New study aims to solve ventilator dilemma for brain injury patients
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at 406 patients with acute brain injury who need a breathing machine. Doctors often struggle to know when it's safe to remove the tube, and many patients fail. The goal is to find clues that predict successful weaning, so patients can avoid unnecessary procedures…
