New device aims to help ventilator patients breathe easier by scrubbing CO2 from blood

NCT ID NCT07326215

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a device called PrismaLung+ that removes carbon dioxide from the blood of critically ill patients who are on breathing machines. The trial will include 99 adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome or kidney injury. Half will receive standard care plus the device, while the other half gets standard care alone. The goal is to see if the device safely lowers carbon dioxide levels and improves outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
PrismaLung+ device (extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal system)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could help critically ill patients on ventilators by safely lowering carbon dioxide levels, potentially reducing lung damage and improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 99 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device requires blood thinning, which carries bleeding risks.
