Respiratory Failure clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Respiratory failure means the lungs are unable to supply enough oxygen or remove carbon dioxide. UCSF is conducting trials to compare new and standard ventilation techniques for breathing issues. This study focuses on improving care for patients with acute breathing difficulties.
Precision Ventilation vs Standard Care for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The goal of this interventional study is to compare standard mechanical ventilation to a lung-stress oriented ventilation strategy in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Participants will be ventilated according to one of two different strategies. The main question the study hopes to answer is whether the personalized ventilation strategy helps improve survival.
