AlmeloAges 18 years+ - NCT07092943Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods during surgery
This study tests two ways of using a ventilator during laparoscopic surgery to see which one helps patients breathe better afterward. If you are having elective laparoscopic surgery and need a breathing tube, you may be able to join.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 16–80 - NCT04903262Recruiting
Extra CO2 removal to protect lungs in moderate ARDS
This study tests an “extra-CO2 removal” breathing support approach to help protect the lungs in people with moderate ARDS, a serious lung injury. You would be on a ventilator for a short time, and the team would check whether this approach improves breathing outcomes while aiming to be safer for the lungs.
BolognaAges 18–100 - NCT05440851Recruiting
Testing different treatments for severe breathing failure in ICU
This platform trial studies which treatment works best for adults with sudden, severe breathing failure needing oxygen or a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help patients by matching them to the most appropriate treatment strategy and tracking outcomes to improve care.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05525312Recruiting
Two breathing strategies during lung surgery for lung cancer
This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT05822869Recruiting
Testing early EIT monitoring in people with ARDS
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06361420Recruiting
Lung-protective breathing during aortic dissection repair
This study tests a special way of using a breathing machine during surgery to protect your lungs. It is for people who are having surgery to fix a tear in the main artery of the heart (acute type A aortic dissection).
Fuzhou, FujianAges 14–70 - NCT06895148Recruiting
Better breathing with lung-protective ventilation
This trial tests a way to deliver lung-protective ventilation (a method that uses low air volumes to avoid lung injury) to adults on breathing machines. It aims to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06814340RecruitingPhase 3
CPAP on ECMO for severe lung failure
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are already on a life-support machine called VV-ECMO. It tests whether adding a special breathing tube (CPAP) can help their lungs heal better.
BobignyAges 18 years+ - NCT07044089Recruiting
Lung protection during heart bypass surgery
This trial tests a lung-friendly breathing method during coronary artery bypass surgery, using a personalized ventilator setting to protect your lungs. It may help reduce lung complications after surgery.
Kocaeli, izmitAges 18–70 - NCT07307066Recruiting
Ventilation feedback study for lung protection in ARDS
This study tests a computer system that gives real-time breathing machine advice to help protect the lungs of patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors adjust the ventilator settings to cause less damage.
Qujing, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07239557Enrolling by invitation
Best timing for lung expansion moves during surgery
This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–80 - NCT06514209Recruiting
Muscle relaxation levels in severe ARDS patients
This study is testing whether different levels of muscle relaxation (called neuromuscular blockade) during breathing support can improve lung function in people with serious ARDS. It might help doctors choose the best relaxation level for patients on a breathing machine.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 3 weeks–85 years - NCT07186933Recruiting
Ventilator settings to protect lungs during high-risk surgery
This study compares two ways of setting the ventilator during surgery to reduce lung complications. Researchers will test whether using a lower 'driving pressure' (a setting on the breathing machine) helps protect the lungs better than usual care. It is for adults having high-risk surgeries under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
PátraiAges 18 years+ - NCT05459116Recruiting
Record breathing effort to protect lungs during ventilation
This trial studies a way to measure how hard a patient is breathing and how the lungs and diaphragm are working while someone is on a breathing machine. The goal is to help the team use a “lung- and diaphragm-protective” ventilation strategy and see if it improves care.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 4 weeks+ - NCT06735872Recruiting
Non-invasive breathing support for broken ribs and low oxygen
This trial tests if non-invasive breathing support (a mask that helps you breathe) can improve lung healing in people with broken ribs from chest trauma who need extra oxygen. It aims to see if this treatment helps avoid the need for a breathing tube and speeds up recovery.
Lyon, RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT06950112Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods for obese patients during weight-loss surgery
This trial tests a personalized way of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery to reduce lung stress. It compares a tailored approach with standard care in people with obesity.
Tanta, El GharbiaAges 18–60 - NCT06483529Recruiting
Measuring lung function in ventilated patients
This trial is testing a new way to measure how your lungs are working while you are on a ventilator. It uses a gentle, low-frequency wave to check your lung function without any extra stress.
Jette, Brussel Hoofstedelijk GewestAges 18 years+ - NCT06115395Recruiting
Non-invasive ventilation for bronchoscopy
This trial uses a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help people who need a bronchoscopy. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for those with breathing problems.
Al MansurahAges 18–70 - NCT06073834Recruiting
Lung infection study in ICU patients
This trial tests a new way to better understand lung infections in very sick ICU patients. It looks at people with septic shock, severe trauma, or major burns to see if an infection is the cause.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06719258Recruiting
Trial on heated humidifiers for breathing tubes
This trial studies how heating and adding moisture to the air breathed through a breathing tube (called a heated humidifier) affects patients in intensive care. It focuses on people who need the breathing tube for a longer time or special protective settings.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07358039Recruiting
Recruitment maneuver after suctioning in ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing whether a breathing maneuver after suctioning helps restore lung volume in intensive care patients who are on a ventilator. It may help improve breathing and recovery.
Toulon, VARAges 18 years+ - NCT06203405Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lung protective ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 25 recruiting lung protective ventilation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a lung protective ventilation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a lung protective ventilation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
