Ultrasound-Guided ventilation aims to cut ARDS deaths

NCT ID NCT05492344

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether using lung ultrasound to personalize ventilator settings can reduce deaths in people with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). About 538 adults on breathing machines will be assigned to either standard care or a personalized plan based on their lung ultrasound pattern. The main goal is to see if this approach lowers the chance of dying within 90 days.

Active substance

personalized mechanical ventilation guided by lung ultrasound

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could become a standard way to set ventilators for ARDS patients, potentially lowering the death rate from this serious lung condition.

What could go wrong

This is a large trial, but the intervention is complex and depends on staff training. The benefit may be small or not apply to all ARDS types.
