Can lung imaging guide ventilator settings to save lives in ARDS?
NCT ID NCT06990477
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This 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 approach reduces deaths within 28 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
EIT-guided PEEP (a device-based method to set ventilator pressure using electrical impedance tomography)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could become a standard way to set ventilator pressure for ARDS patients, potentially reducing deaths.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial, but the approach is still experimental. It may not improve survival compared to current methods, and individual responses can vary.
