New study aims to protect hearts of ARDS patients on ventilators
NCT ID NCT05583461
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 10 adults with moderate-to-severe ARDS who were on breathing machines. Researchers used a non-invasive imaging method (EIT) to adjust ventilator pressure settings and then checked how the heart's right side responded using ultrasound. The goal was to find the best pressure level that protects the heart from injury during mechanical ventilation.
