Ultrasound duo may Fine-Tune ventilator settings for Brain-Injured patients
NCT ID NCT07248995
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether using both lung and brain ultrasound can help doctors choose the best ventilator pressure for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute brain injury. About 30 critically ill adults on breathing machines will be enrolled. The goal is to find a personalized pressure level that protects both the lungs and the brain.
