This research study is collecting medical information from patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) — a serious lung condition that makes breathing difficult — who are receiving prone positioning (lying face-down) as part of their treatment. Researchers want to measure changes in blood flow to the brain before and after this positioning to see if they can predict which patients might develop brain-related complications during their hospital stay.
When patients with severe lung failure lie face-down as a treatment, doctors don't yet know which patients are at higher risk for developing neurological problems. By studying how brain blood flow changes during this positioning, researchers hope to identify early warning signs so doctors can better protect patients' brains and prevent complications.

If you qualify, researchers will collect your medical records, basic information about you, and clinical data while you receive standard face-down positioning treatment for your lung condition at one of four hospitals in Chengdu, China. The study will measure your brain blood flow using imaging before and after positioning, and track whether you develop any neurological complications during your hospital stay. The study is collecting data from March 2025 through March 2026, and you would participate as part of your regular hospital care.
