Recruiting studies
- NCT06296277Recruiting
Breathing machine use during surgery
This study looks at how a breathing machine is used during surgery. It is for adults who need help breathing while under general anesthesia for their operation.
Alessandria, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT05412810Recruiting
Test air-biomarker changes during ICU breathing machine use
This study looks for chemical “biomarkers” in samples taken during ICU care to better understand what happens during mechanical ventilation. It may help future care by identifying signs that could guide safer breathing-machine treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–110 - NCT04534296Recruiting
Early mobilization for breathing muscles in critically ill children
This study looks at whether starting movement early in the first day of breathing support can help keep the diaphragm (a key breathing muscle) working better in critically ill children. The researchers will check diaphragm thickness using ultrasound and compare it to usual care.
ShanghaiAges 6 months–12 years - NCT06491017Recruiting
Better airway clearance for ventilated patients
This trial tests if a special machine (mechanical insufflation-exsufflation) can help remove thick mucus from the lungs of patients who are on a breathing tube and ventilator. The goal is to see if optimized settings clear more mucus than standard care.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06482983Recruiting
Two breathing methods for women having laparoscopic gynecologic surgery
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery to see which one is better for your brain and lungs. The results may help doctors choose the safest method for people like you.
Istanbul, UmraniyeAges 18–70 - NCT06245317Recruiting
New ventilation method for children having laparoscopic surgery
This trial compares a special ventilation method (PCV-VG) to standard care during laparoscopic surgery in children. It aims to see if it helps them breathe better during the procedure.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 1–8 - NCT06575530RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam for sedation after non-cardiac surgery
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam besylate in patients who need a breathing tube and light sedation after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT03405779Recruiting
Ultrasound test to measure lung stress in ICU patients
This study tests a new ultrasound method to assess how much strain is happening in the lungs of critically ill adults on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better understand lung stress and guide care in the ICU.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03901924Recruiting
Ventilator settings to protect the breathing muscle
This study looks at a specific way to control a breathing machine (ventilator) to help prevent weakness of the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, in newly intubated adults. You might be considered if you are newly on a ventilator for less than 36 hours and certain other conditions are not present.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05211661Recruiting
Study breathing muscle changes in people on a ventilator
This study looks at how the diaphragm (a key breathing muscle) changes during and after being on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help researchers understand why breathing can get weaker after ventilation and how to measure it safely (including with MRI).
AachenAges 18–75 - NCT05454332RecruitingPhase 4
Caffeine for premature babies right after birth
This study tests whether caffeine given to very premature babies around the time they move from fetus to newborn stage can improve outcomes. It may help babies who need support as they breathe and adapt after birth.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges Up to 2 hours - NCT05857774Recruiting
Study breathing muscle changes in ICU patients on ventilation
This study looks at how the muscles used for breathing work and change in ICU patients who are placed on breathing machines, then follows outcomes after they leave the hospital. It may help doctors better predict recovery and long-term health after ventilation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06014138RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Volatile sedation study for ARDS patients
This trial is comparing a new type of inhaled sedative (volatile sedation) to usual IV sedatives for people with ARDS who are on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to see if it can help patients breathe better and recover more quickly.
London, LondonAges 17 years+ - NCT06166706Recruiting
Ventilation methods in children during anesthesia
This study looks at how children are ventilated (helped to breathe) during surgery. It will help doctors understand current practices and improve care for young patients.
PerthAges Up to 16 years - NCT06203405Recruiting
Sedation guided by breathing effort in ICU patients
This trial tests a new way to manage sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable) for people on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if adjusting sedation based on your breathing effort leads to better outcomes and shorter time on the machine.
Bangkok, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06480162Recruiting
How breathing machines affect the brain's memory center
This trial studies how mechanical ventilation (breathing machine) affects the hippocampus, a part of the brain important for memory. It may help people who already have an electrode in their hippocampus understand how breathing support impacts brain function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06769308Recruiting
Brain wave guided sedation in ICU patients
This study tests a new way to give pain and sedation medicines in the ICU. It uses a special brain wave monitor (EEG) to help doctors adjust your medicines more precisely, aiming to keep you comfortable and safe.
Ferrara, ItalyAges 18–90 - NCT06921655Recruiting
Using pressure and muscle measurement to avoid too much breathing help in the ICU
This study tests a new way to adjust the breathing machine settings for patients who are awake and breathing on their own but still need support. The goal is to avoid giving too much help, which can make the breathing muscles weak.
Trento, TrentoAges 18 years+ - NCT06971042Recruiting
Using lung ultrasound to find ARDS early in ventilated patients
This study compares lung ultrasound with CT scans to detect ARDS (a serious lung injury) early in patients on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if ultrasound can provide a faster, safer way to diagnose ARDS.
TantaAges 22–80 - NCT07182851Recruiting
Pain in patients on breathing machines in the ICU
This study looks at pain in patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to understand pain better so doctors can help manage it more effectively.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT07207772Recruiting
Electric lung imaging vs. standard breathing support in weight-loss surgery
This study compares two ways of setting the breathing machine during weight-loss surgery: one guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and the other by standard care. The goal is to see which one helps your lungs work better during and after surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–65 - NCT07245888Recruiting
Studying pneumonia in ventilated ICU patients
This study looks at different types of lung infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. By analyzing fluid from your lungs, researchers hope to better understand pneumonia and improve treatment.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT06236685Enrolling by invitation
Optimizing ventilation monitoring with advanced techniques
This trial tests a new way to monitor breathing for people on a ventilator during surgery or in intensive care. It aims to improve care by combining advanced monitoring methods.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mechanical ventilation complication?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 50 recruiting mechanical ventilation complication 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 mechanical ventilation complication 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 mechanical ventilation complication 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.
