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.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07543939Recruiting
Breathing measurements during minimally invasive abdominal surgery
This study measures how your lungs respond to a specific breathing machine setting during planned abdominal surgery. Understanding these measurements may help doctors use ventilation (breathing assistance) more safely during surgery.
RiyadhAges 18–65 - NCT07687303Recruiting
Ventilator modes and stomach tube tolerance in ICU patients
This study looks at how different ventilator settings affect pressure in the belly and how well patients tolerate a feeding tube. It may help doctors choose the best ventilator mode for you.
DamanhūrAges 18–60 - NCT07098611Recruiting
New tool to predict readiness for breathing tube removal
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.
Punta ArenasAges 18–89 - 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+ - NCT06609577Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided diaphragm pacing for patients on ventilators
This trial tests a personalized pacing device that uses ultrasound to help your diaphragm muscle work better while you are on a breathing machine. It may help you breathe on your own sooner and improve your recovery.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–95 - NCT07455214Recruiting
Heart rate variability and breathing trial success in ventilated patients
This study looks at whether heart rate patterns can help predict if a person on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
New Taipei CityAges 18–85 - NCT06584604Recruiting
Calibrating esophageal balloon for breathing machine patients
This trial is testing how to calibrate an esophageal balloon (a thin tube that measures pressure in your chest) for people on a breathing machine. If you are already sedated and have this tube in place, participating may help doctors get more accurate readings to improve your breathing support.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05098717Recruiting
PEEP settings guided by lung pressure in pulmonary fibrosis
This trial tests whether using lung-pressure measurements to adjust ventilator PEEP (a breathing-support setting that keeps airways open) can help people with pulmonary fibrosis who are on a breathing machine for acute respiratory failure. It may improve breathing comfort and oxygenation by finding the best PEEP level for you.
ModenaAges 18–90 - NCT07670494Recruiting
Comparing breathing machine settings during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07337408Recruiting
Understanding how breathing machines are stopped in ICUs worldwide
This study observes how doctors remove breathing machines from patients in intensive care units (ICUs) in developing countries. It aims to learn more about the best ways to help patients breathe on their own again.
Joinville, Santa CatarinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07177183Recruiting
Low creatinine as a sign of longer breathing tube use
This study looks at whether low blood creatinine levels can help predict which patients will need a breathing machine for a long time or have trouble coming off it. If you are under 18 and in a post-ICU care unit, you may be able to join.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT06805357Recruiting
Lung opening during chest therapy on a breathing machine
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
CréteilAges 18–100 - NCT05744310Recruiting
Long-term ventilation support and quality of life in ALS
This study looks at how long-term breathing support (a ventilation device used over time) affects quality of life for people with ALS and their families. It also asks family members and children about day-to-day well-being during this treatment period.
Bodø, NordlandAges 8 years+ - NCT05492344Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided breathing support for severe lung failure
This study tests whether using an ultrasound scan to guide a breathing machine settings can improve care for people with moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. If you qualify, the team will compare the ultrasound-guided approach to standard ventilator care in the ICU.
BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT07467265Recruiting
Testing a breathing test to safely remove ventilators
This study is testing a simple way to measure how well you breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator in the ICU. It helps doctors decide the best time to safely remove the breathing tube.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 22 years+ - NCT06824961Recruiting
Comparing 3 vs 5 second pauses during CPR for cardiac arrest
This trial is testing whether increasing the pause in chest compressions from 3 to 5 seconds during CPR helps improve breathing support and the chance of restarting the heart. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and were treated with a mechanical compression device called LUCAS.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 16 years+ - NCT06683781Recruiting
Breathing machine settings and weaning success study
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
Buenos AiresAges 18–100 - NCT07205952Recruiting
Detecting breathing difficulty in ventilated patients
This study looks at whether a computer system can automatically detect when a patient on a breathing machine (ventilator) is having trouble breathing. It may help doctors respond faster to the patient's needs.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges Any age - NCT07130123Recruiting
Endotracheal suction during extubation in the ICU
This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
Orléans, LoiretAges 18 years+ - NCT07093125Recruiting
Rehabilitation for ICU patients on a breathing machine
This trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
Genova, ItalyAges 16–100 - NCT07596589RecruitingPhase 3
Remimazolam sedation for breathing-machine patients in ICU
This study tests whether a sedative medication called remimazolam helps patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the ICU recover better and have fewer complications. You would receive this medication to keep you calm and comfortable while on the ventilator.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mechanical ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 248 recruiting mechanical 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 mechanical 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 mechanical 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.
