What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 observational study looks at 30 adults with acute respiratory failure on mechanical ventilation. Researchers want to see if a bedside device called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can reliably guide ventilator pressure settings, compared to the current gold standard (CT scans). If EIT works as well, it could offer a safer, simpler way to adjust breathing support without moving critically ill patients.

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 successful, this could validate a safer, bedside method to set ventilator pressure, reducing the need for risky CT scans in critically ill patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study that only analyzes existing data. It does not test a new treatment, and the results may not apply to all patients or settings.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adults admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital, in Rozzano (Milan, Italy), with acute respiratory failure treated with mechanical ventilation

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (≥18 years of age) admitted to our Unit with ARF treated with mechanical ventilation * The patient undergoes a lung CT and EIT to guide the setting of PEEP as part of our routine clinical practice Exclusion Criteria: * The patient cannot undergo a lung CT and/or EIT as judged by the attending physician (for instance, transport to the radiology unit may be considered too risky if the patient is extremely severe, or using EIT may be contraindicated because of the presence of a pacemaker) * Pregnancy (as this condition alters the respiratory physiology)
