One year later: how Kids' lungs heal after ARDS
NCT ID NCT01435889
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 38 children who survived acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung condition. One year after leaving the hospital, researchers checked for lasting breathing problems like cough, wheeze, and lung stiffness using scans and tests. The goal was to understand how well children recover and what long-term effects remain.
