First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study observes 1,000 adults in intensive care with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to learn how prone positioning (lying face down) affects survival and recovery. Researchers will explore whether lung shape on CT scans can guide treatment, and whether prone positioning is safe for patients with brain injury. The goal is to find the best ways to use this breathing support technique and reduce deaths.
