New study aims to reduce lung damage from ventilators in ARDS
NCT ID NCT07171632
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will observe 184 adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are on a breathing machine. Researchers want to see how different machine settings affect lung injury and survival. The goal is to find safer ways to use ventilators for these critically ill patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients ≥ 18 years * Diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome * Receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (volume control mode) for at least 48 consecutive hours. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients spontaneously breathing * Patients under non-invasive support therapies * Patients receiving ventilation through a tracheostomy cannula at any time during the first 48 h * Patients that receiving pressure-controlled ventilation or any modality other than volume-controlled * Patients with missing data for calculating mechanical power (MP). * Patients with chronic pulmonary disease * Patients with a high risk of death within 3 months for reasons other than ARDS * Patients having made the decision to withhold life-sustaining treatment.
