Poison gas tested as lifesaver for critically ill patients

NCT ID NCT04870125

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether carefully controlled, low doses of inhaled carbon monoxide can be safely given to patients with severe lung failure caused by infections like sepsis or pneumonia. Researchers want to see if a personalized dosing method can reliably reach a target level in the blood without causing harm. They will also check for early signs that the treatment might help reduce lung inflammation and organ damage in these critically ill patients.
