Summary

This study looks at whether keeping patients with severe lung failure (ARDS) on their stomach for 40 hours at a time, instead of the usual 16 hours, can lower the chance of death. About 800 adults on breathing machines will be randomly assigned to one of the two positions. The goal is to see if the longer stomach-down approach improves survival at 28 days.
