Smart lung pressure strategy tested in 676 ICU patients
NCT ID NCT05307913
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using a special imaging technique (EIT) to set breathing machine pressure helps people with severe lung injury (ARDS) survive longer compared to using a standard pressure table. Over 600 adults on breathing machines took part. The main goal was to see if more people survived within 28 days.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Intubated, mechanically ventilated patients with diagnosis of ARDS according to ARDS Berlin standard by attending doctor Exclusion Criteria: 1. Age \< 18 years old and \> 90 years old; 2. Pregnancy; 3. EIT contradictions (presence of pacemaker or automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator); 4. Severe intracranial hypertension; 5. Pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema or at high-risk for pneumothorax (e.g., pneumatocele, interstitial lung disease); 6. Unstable hemodynamic status intorerable to lung recruitment and PEEP titration, judged by an attending intensivist; (This may be a transient criterion, since patients meeting this criterion might be included later if hemodynamics improves) 7. End status of disease; 8. Patients or their families refused to participate in the study
