Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Management Trial

Recruiting now · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), Ventilator Management, Lung-protective Ventilation, Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (PARDS)

In brief

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening lung condition that can affect children. Currently, ventilator settings commonly used in treatment are based on approaches developed for adults, and it remains unclear whether these settings are equally effective for children. Because children's bodies respond differently than adults', it is important to determine the most effective ventilator strategies specifically for pediatric patients. This study will compare two different ventilator approaches in children with ARDS to identify which method provides the greatest benefit. The findings will also help inform the design of a larger study in the future.
