Recruiting studies
- NCT03667027Recruiting
Study of breathing muscle and lung changes during transplant planning
This trial studies how the diaphragm (your main breathing muscle) and lung/airway tissue behave in people who are being supported until they can get a lung transplant. The results may help doctors better understand breathing failure and improve transplant care.
TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT06826794Recruiting
VentilO study for heart surgery patients on ventilators
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing in patients who are on a ventilator right after heart surgery. It may help doctors adjust settings more accurately.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06184945Recruiting
Behavioral and staffing strategies in the ICU
This study tests different ways of organizing care and supporting patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) to see if they can improve recovery and well-being. It focuses on adults who need a breathing tube and are in the ICU for at least a day.
Iowa City, IowaAges 19 years+ - NCT05371886Recruiting
Testing how morphine (with or without midazolam) behaves in NICU babies
This study measures how morphine works in very young babies, and whether adding midazolam changes how the medicines behave and affect the body. It may help doctors better choose and dose pain/sedation medicines for babies in intensive care.
BrestAges 5 months–10 months - NCT05226247Recruiting
Check whether careful weaning prevents lung fluid buildup
This study looks at people on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours who are starting a “spontaneous breathing trial,” a test used to see if they can breathe on their own. It focuses on those at higher risk of “weaning-induced pulmonary edema,” meaning fluid can collect in the lungs during the weaning process.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07070843Recruiting
Comparing two eye care methods for ICU patients on ventilators
This study compares two different ways of caring for the eyes of intensive care patients on breathing machines. It aims to find which method better prevents eye problems like dryness or infection.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 3 weeks+ - NCT05534243Recruiting
A breathing and brain-signal study for adults on ventilators
This study looks at brain activity during care for adults who are on a breathing machine through a tube in the windpipe. It may help doctors understand how to monitor recovery and guide care after intubation.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06168162Recruiting
Personalized breathing support during weight-loss surgery
This trial tests whether a personalized breathing setting during surgery can lower the risk of lung complications after weight-loss surgery. If you have a high risk of lung issues, you may be eligible.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 16 years+ - NCT06867354Recruiting
Breathing difficulty in obese patients during weaning from ventilator
This study looks at how often obese patients have trouble breathing when doctors try to remove the breathing tube (weaning) in the ICU. The goal is to understand what causes this and how it affects recovery.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04068012Recruiting
Test of a decision support tool for children with PARDS
This trial tests a computer “decision support” tool to help the care team manage treatment for children with PARDS who are just starting a breathing machine. It may help clinicians choose care steps and potentially support safer, more effective breathing management during the first days of ventilation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06448988Enrolling by invitation
Lung function in two surgical positions
This study measures how well your lungs work while you are lying on your back versus in the side-lying park-bench position during brain or spine surgery. It aims to help doctors understand which position is easier for you to breathe in.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07233304Recruiting
Lung opening procedure safety in children on breathing machines
This trial tests a lung opening procedure (alveolar recruitment maneuver) in children on a breathing machine to see if it's safe and helpful. It compares how well the procedure works with different machine settings.
Canuelas, Buenos AiresAges 1 month–14 years - NCT06367218Recruiting
Opioid-free anesthesia with spontaneous breathing for VATS lung nodule surgery
This trial tests a way to do VATS lung nodule surgery without using strong painkillers (opioids) and while you keep breathing on your own. It may help you recover faster with fewer side effects.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07467551Recruiting
Pain scale study for patients on breathing machines
This study tests a pain scale for patients who are on a breathing machine and cannot speak. It aims to help doctors better recognize pain in these patients.
IstanbulAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT07024420Recruiting
Sigh breathing during heart surgery with heart-lung machine
This study tests if adding occasional deep breaths (sighs) during heart surgery helps patients recover better after using the heart-lung machine. It is for people having planned (not emergency) heart surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06967285Recruiting
Prone positioning for ARDS: checking brain blood flow
This trial studies how lying on your stomach (prone positioning) affects blood flow in the brain during severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to predict and prevent brain problems that might occur with this treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 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+ - NCT07646249Recruiting
Best breathing support after surgery in the ICU
This study compares different ways of helping patients breathe after surgery while they're being moved to the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the safest and most effective method for patients who need a breathing tube.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mechanical ventilation complication?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 43 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.
