NCT ID NCT05922631

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at 60 adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on breathing machines. It compared two ventilation methods—airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) and low tidal volume (LTV) ventilation—to see which one better protects the right side of the heart. The goal was to find out if APRV, which can improve oxygen levels, might also increase or decrease the risk of right heart problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If this study shows one method is better for heart function, it could guide doctors to choose safer ventilation for ARDS patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 60 patients. Results may not apply to all ARDS patients, and the effect on survival is not measured.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
