NCT ID NCT03955887
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) affects the energy centers (mitochondria) of immune cells in patients with severe lung infections and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Researchers aimed to understand why some patients get worse despite treatment. The study was terminated early and involved 28 adults. No direct treatment was given; it was purely observational to gather knowledge for future therapies.
