Clinical Trial: Height Measurement Procedures Influence the Risk of Ventilator-induced Lung Injury in ARDS

U.S., May 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07595926) titled 'Height Measurement Procedures Influence the Risk of Ventilator-induced Lung Injury in ARDS' on April 28.

Brief Summary: Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by heterogeneous lung injury, with dependent regions often collapsed and non-dependent regions relatively well-aerated, forming the so called "baby lung." Mechanical ventilation, while essential, can induce additional lung injury (VILI) via overdistension (baro/volutrauma) or repetitive alveolar collapse (atelectrauma). Protective ventilation strategies with low tidal volumes (VT 6-8 mL/kg predicted body weight, PBW) reduce mortality, but their efficacy relies on ...
