This study is testing whether using a special bedside imaging tool called EIT to personalize ventilator settings can improve survival for patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Researchers will compare this personalized approach against standard ventilat…

This study is testing which feeding tube method works better for patients with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator and lying face down. It will compare feeding directly into the stomach versus feeding past the stomach into the small intestine. The goal is to see wh…

This study aims to better understand how and when to safely place patients with severe lung failure (ARDS) in a face-down position to help them breathe. Researchers will observe 1,000 critically ill adults in intensive care units to see if this positioning works better for certai…

This study aims to understand how a specific setting on a breathing machine affects how air and blood flow are distributed in the lungs of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Researchers will enroll 60 adult patients who are on a ventilator for ARDS. They wi…

This study aims to better understand the process of taking patients with acute brain injuries off mechanical breathing machines (ventilators). Researchers will observe 1,500 adult patients to see how they fare during this 'weaning' process and what outcomes they have. The goal is…

This study aims to understand and predict when patients with a sudden, severe brain injury can be safely taken off a breathing machine (ventilator). Researchers will observe 406 adult patients who are on a ventilator due to their brain injury. The goal is to gather information to…

This study aims to understand if grouping patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) by their level of inflammation can help doctors choose better treatments. Researchers will follow 500 adults in China with severe ARDS to see if using a model to classify them as 'h…
