Respiratory Failure clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Respiratory failure is when the lungs cannot supply oxygen or remove carbon dioxide well enough. UCSF is comparing standard mechanical ventilation to a method that sets the ventilator by lung stress. The study records lung pressure and breathing tests for patients in intensive care.
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.
