Lung imaging may guide better breathing support for ARDS patients
Disease control CompletedThis study tested two ways of using breathing machines in 420 adults with ARDS, a serious lung condition. One method used lung imaging to tailor settings, while the other followed standard guidelines. The goal was to see if the imaging-based approach could lower the chance of dea…

Face-Down therapy may save COVID-19 patients who refuse ventilators
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested if lying face down (prone positioning) helps hospitalized COVID-19 patients with low oxygen levels who are not candidates for breathing machines. About 600 adults took part. The goal was to see if this simple position change reduces deaths or the need for hospic…

New breathing technique may help ICU patients ditch ventilators sooner
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested whether a smarter breathing machine (NAVA) helps patients with severe lung injury (ARDS) get off the ventilator faster compared to standard support (PSV). 130 adults with a tracheotomy tube were enrolled. The goal was to see if NAVA increases days alive without …

Smart scanner helps doctors set ventilators for lung injury patients
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested a bedside imaging method called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to see how different ventilator pressure levels affect lung function in 120 adults with ARDS, a severe lung injury. The goal was to identify which patients respond best to higher pressures and…

Lung antibiotic mystery: COVID-19 may block drugs from reaching infection
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at why antibiotics often fail to treat pneumonia in COVID-19 patients on breathing machines. Researchers measured how much of the antibiotic piperacillin reaches the lung fluid in 34 adults with severe lung injury. The goal was to understand if poor drug penetra…
