Could sitting up help patients on breathing machines?

NCT ID NCT07025421

Summary

This study is testing if keeping patients with severe lung failure (ARDS) in an upright position in bed helps them breathe better while on a ventilator. It will compare this upright positioning to the standard practice of just raising the head of the bed. The goal is to see if this simple change can improve how much air moves in and out of the lungs with each breath.
