Critical Illness clinical trials at UCLA
2 research studies open to eligible people
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.

Pediatric Prehospital Airway Resuscitation Trial
open to eligible people ages up to 17 years
This study is a Phase 3, multi-center, Bayesian Adaptive Sequential Platform Trial testing the effectiveness of different prehospital airway management strategies in the care of critically ill children. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies affiliated with the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) will participate in the trial. The study interventions are strategies of prehospital airway management: [BVM-only], [BVM followed by SGA] and [BVM followed by ETI]. The primary outcome is 30-day ICU-free survival. The trial will be organized and executed in two successive stages. In Stage I of the trial, EMS personnel will alternate between two strategies: [BVM-only] or [BVM followed by SGA]. The [winner of Stage I] will advance to Stage II based upon results of Bayesian interim analyses. In Stage II of the trial, EMS personnel will alternate between [BVM followed by ETI] vs. [Winner of Stage I].
