NCT ID NCT02574169
First seen Jun 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compared two breathing techniques (CPAP and eSigh) in 18 patients with brain injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The goal was to see which method better maintains oxygen levels in the brain without causing harm. The trial was terminated early, so findings are limited.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
alveolar recruitment maneuvers (CPAP and eSigh)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose safer breathing methods for patients with both brain injury and lung failure.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early with only 18 participants, so results are very limited and may not apply to all patients.
