Recruiting studies
- NCT07850908Enrolling by invitation
Ventilation method for newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension
This study tests a specific type of breathing machine (ventilator) that adjusts air pressure to help newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension breathe better. It aims to see if this method improves oxygen levels and outcomes for babies needing mechanical ventilation in their first week of life.

Protocol-based weaning from the ventilator in ICU patients
This study looks at a step-by-step plan to help patients come off the breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) and checks how well it works. If you’re an ICU patient on the ventilator for at least two days, you may be eligible to follow their protocol.
SeoulAges 19–99 - NCT07304479Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for robotic surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (sevoflurane and desflurane) during robotic abdominal surgery. It aims to find which one may be safer and better for your lungs.
AthensAges 18–87 - NCT05886803Recruiting
Predicting breathing test success in the ICU
This study uses data from your hospital records to see if a machine learning tool can predict whether a patient will succeed when doctors try to remove their breathing tube during a test of their own breathing.
NiceAges Any age - NCT05188092Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to guide fluid removal in ICU patients
This trial tests whether using a quick scan of the lungs (lung ultrasound) helps ICU teams safely remove the right amount of extra body fluid. It aims to improve care for people who have just been put on a breathing machine but are expected to need it longer than a day.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07436780Recruiting
Immune cells in the lungs of ventilated patients
This study looks at immune cells in the lungs of people on breathing machines. It aims to understand how these cells change in patients who develop pneumonia while on the ventilator.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07839949Recruiting
Monitoring breathing effort during ventilator weaning
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor how hard your breathing muscles are working while the ventilator support is being reduced. It aims to help doctors wean you off the ventilator more smoothly and safely.
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic IslandsAges Any age - NCT07430111Recruiting
Comparing two breathing methods during weight loss surgery
This study tests two different ways of using a ventilator during bariatric surgery to see which one works better for people with obesity. It may help your lungs work better during and after surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT07667582Recruiting
Pneumonia in ventilated patients
This study looks at patients who got pneumonia while in the hospital and needed a breathing tube. It helps doctors understand what causes it and how it affects recovery.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–100 - NCT07313956Enrolling by invitation
Breathing machine method study in the ICU
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07614555Recruiting
Breathing methods during back surgery recovery
This study compares two ways doctors control your breathing during lumbar disc herniation (slipped disc) surgery. Researchers want to see which method keeps your lungs healthier during the operation.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07519512Recruiting
Early Switch to Assisted Breathing in ICU Patients
This study tests whether moving ICU patients from fully machine-controlled breathing to partially assisted breathing earlier helps them get off ventilators successfully. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the time patients need mechanical ventilation.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07193719RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized breathing support for kids after heart surgery
This study tests a personalized breathing technique to improve lung function and heart performance in children who have had heart surgery or are on ECMO. The goal is to find the best way to open up the lungs safely.
BerlinAges birth–18 years - NCT07325812Recruiting
Lung opening maneuvers during spine surgery
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT06837402Enrolling by invitation
Non-invasive ventilation in Argentine ICUs: an observational study
This study looks at how non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or machine) is used in ICUs across Argentina. It helps doctors understand patterns of care so they can improve treatment for patients with breathing problems.
CABA, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT06430554Recruiting
Personalized ventilation for ARDS patients on breathing machines
This trial tests a personalized ventilation method that adjusts how the breathing machine delivers air based on your lung's air and blood flow match. It aims to improve breathing for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are already on a ventilator and will be placed on their stomach.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT07325773Recruiting
Can magnesium help lung function during one-lung breathing?
This trial tests if giving magnesium during surgery helps oxygen levels in the blood and supports lung mechanics when only one lung is used for breathing.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07114289Recruiting
Breathing test methods for overweight patients on ventilators
This study compares two ways of testing if overweight or obese patients can breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. You will be randomly assigned to one of two breathing trials (pressure support or a T-piece) to see which works better for helping you get off the ventilator.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05030337Recruiting
Closed-loop oxygen control for very preterm babies on ventilators
This trial tests a computer-guided (“closed-loop”) oxygen control system for very preterm babies who need breathing support. It aims to keep oxygen levels safer and more consistent than standard care.
LondonAges Any age - NCT07379242Recruiting
Lung recruitment test for breathing failure patients on a ventilator
This trial uses a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to find the best ventilator settings for patients with acute breathing failure. It may help doctors tailor treatment to improve lung function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07463885Recruiting
Breathing on your own vs machine breathing for low oxygen
This study tests whether letting patients with serious breathing problems breathe on their own (with a breathing tube still in place) is better than the usual way of using the ventilator to do all the breathing. It may lead to faster recovery and less harm.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mechanical ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 252 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.
