NCT ID NCT06119516

First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests a personalized method to set breathing machines for severely obese patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Researchers will use a special tube to measure pressure inside the chest and adjust ventilator settings accordingly. The goal is to see if this approach leads to different and potentially better settings than the standard method. About 40 adults with a BMI over 40 and moderate to severe ARDS will participate.
