This research study watches patients in intensive care who have severe lung failure (called ARDS) and need a breathing machine. Doctors want to understand how often the right side of the heart struggles when the lungs are severely damaged, and how it changes as patients recover. The study will use heart ultrasounds and other medical measurements to track this closely.
When the lungs are severely damaged and patients need a breathing machine, it can sometimes stress the right side of the heart. While modern breathing techniques have helped reduce this problem, doctors still don't know exactly how often it happens, how it progresses, or what it means for patient recovery. This study aims to fill that gap.

You would be part of a study that collects information from your medical care — no extra procedures beyond what you already receive in intensive care. Doctors will perform heart ultrasounds and record your breathing machine settings, heart function data, medications, and oxygen levels at four time points: during your first day, around days 2–3, around days 5–7, and within 48 hours after you come off the breathing machine. The study follows you through your hospital stay and involves 500 patients across multiple hospitals over two years.
