NCT ID NCT05825534

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested a non-invasive imaging method called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to measure airway opening pressure in 6 adults with acute lung injury or ARDS. The goal was to see if EIT could detect where and when small airways open during a slow breath, which might help doctors set ventilators more precisely. The study was completed and focused on understanding lung behavior, not on testing a new drug or treatment.

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 improve how doctors set ventilators for patients with lung injury, potentially reducing further lung damage.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It is observational and does not test a new treatment.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (≥18 years old). * Patients with PaO2/FiO2 ratio \<300 mmHg. * Volume- or pressure-controlled ventilation. * Sedated, with or without infusion of neuromuscular blockage. * Patients in supine position Exclusion Criteria: * Pneumothorax and bronchopleural fistula. * Severe hemodynamic instability (\>30 % increase in vasopressors in the last 6 hours or norepinephrine \> 0.5 µg/kg/min). * PaO2/FiO2 ratio \< 80 mmHg. * Severe or very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) according to the GOLD criteria (stage III: FEV1 30-50% predicted; stage IV: FEV1 \< 30 % predicted). * Known or highly suspected elevated intracranial pressure (\>18 mmHg). * Impossibility to correctly position the EIT belt (e.g., burns chest drainage, etc.). * Contraindications to EIT (e.g., implantable cardiac defibrillator, pacemaker, instable spinal lesions, etc.). * Clinical judgement of the attending physician. * Pregnant or breastfeeding woman * Patient under guardianship, curators or safeguard of justice
