New breathing strategy could save lives in ARDS
NCT ID NCT07309783
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a personalized ventilation strategy guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can improve survival in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). About 574 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either EIT-guided ventilation (including tailored prone positioning and PEEP settings) or standard protective ventilation. The main goal is to see if the EIT-guided approach lowers 28-day mortality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT)-guided ventilation strategy (including prone positioning and PEEP titration)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more effective way to ventilate ARDS patients, potentially reducing deaths and time on breathing machines.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial (not yet recruiting) with 574 participants. The EIT-guided approach may not improve outcomes over standard care, and results may not apply to all ARDS patients.
