Exploring metabolic changes in patients with mild ARDS

NMR - Based Metabolomics Approach to Improve Clinical Management in Patients With Respiratory Failure

Observational Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences · NCT06036056

This study looks at the changes in blood chemistry of adults with mild acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to better understand how the condition develops and progresses.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the metabolic profiles of adult patients diagnosed with mild acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using NMR-based metabolomics. Participants will have blood samples collected within 72 hours of diagnosis and subsequently every 72 hours until recovery or discharge. The study will also include age-matched healthy controls for comparative analysis. By analyzing these metabolic changes, the research seeks to enhance understanding of the pathogenesis and progression of ARDS.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are critically ill adult patients aged 18 to 65 with mild ARDS onset within the last 72 hours.

Not a fit: Patients who are expected to survive less than 72 hours or those outside the age range of 18 to 65 may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to the identification of specific biomarkers for ARDS, improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using NMR-based metabolomics is relatively novel, similar studies have shown promise in identifying metabolic changes in other critical conditions.
