Clinical Trial · Intubation
WAVE
WAVE
Objective: Compare waveform capnography vs. colorimetric CO₂ detectors for confirming endotracheal tube placement in critically ill adults. This study aims to identify the more accurate method, especially in patients with low cardiac output or airflow obstruction. Patients receive both devices during intubation.

Phase IIb · Lung Injury & ARDS
CHILL
CHILL
Phase IIb study comparing therapeutic hypothermia (core temperature 34 - 35 degrees Celsius) and neuromuscular blocking agents versus usual temperature management. This study aims to evaluate whether therapeutic hypothermia and neuromuscular blocking agents combined are beneficial in patients with ARDS.

Observational · Lung Injury & Biospecimens
SLICC
SLICC
Study that collects biospecimens via bronchoscopy in ARDS patients to evaluate early onset markers, ventilator-free days, oxygenation change, 28-day mortality, and secondary infections to guide improved patient care and treatment strategies.
Phase III · Ventilation & VILI Prevention
PREVENT-VILI
PREVENT-VILI
Phase III study that aims to assess mechanical ventilation strategies—including driving pressure and esophageal manometry—to optimize ventilation in patients with moderate to severe ARDS.

SAVE-O2
SAVE-O2
Study that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the O₂matic PRO100—a closed-loop, autonomous oxygen titration system—in maintaining normoxemia (oxygen saturation of 90–96%) in non-mechanically ventilated patients in acute care. This study aims to confirm the system’s reliability, efficiency, and practicality in real-world settings.
