NCT ID NCT05629832

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 completed study tested a breathing machine strategy that uses lung pressure measurements to guide settings, aiming to protect the right side of the heart in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Forty adults on ventilators for less than 72 hours were included. The approach adjusts machine settings to keep lung pressure in a safe range, potentially reducing strain on the heart.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mechanical ventilation strategy guided by transpulmonary pressure
What this could lead to
If this works, it could point toward a better way to use breathing machines to protect the heart in patients with severe lung injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The approach is complex and requires special monitoring.
