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.

Sleep Harmonization Via Bundled Team-Based Interventions in the ICU
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
SHANTI-ICU compares the effectiveness of two evidence-based multicomponent ICU sleep promotion bundles on delirium and patient-reported sleep quality in critically ill adults. Bundle A is a non-pharmacologic strategy. Bundle B includes all components of Bundle A plus pharmacist-led pharmacologic strategies. Sixteen intensive care units across eight hospitals implement one of the two bundles as a unit-level change to routine care, using a concurrent multiple-intervention stepped wedge randomized design. The primary outcome is delirium incidence, measured using the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) as documented during routine clinical care. Secondary outcomes are delirium duration, ICU length of stay, nightly patient-reported sleep quality, and overall patient-reported ICU sleep quality. Patients receive the assigned bundle as part of routine care. The study operates under an IRB-approved waiver of informed consent and waiver of HIPAA authorization; there is no individual enrollment procedure.
