Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT05562505Recruiting
Using ECMO to help you breathe, sit up, and come off a ventilator
This trial tests whether a heart-lung machine called venovenous ECMO can help people with severe breathing failure get less sedated, get extubated (have the breathing tube removed), and start moving. It’s for certain adults who are on a ventilator for a short time and have specific oxygenation problems.
Darlinghurst, New South WalesAges 18–65 - NCT07784010Enrolling by invitation
Brain blood flow with personalized breathing settings during robotic prostate surgery
This study looks at how different breathing machine settings during robotic prostate surgery affect blood flow to the brain. It aims to find the best personalized settings to protect brain health during anesthesia.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT07774065Recruiting
Ventilation strategies in obese patients during laparoscopic surgery
This study tests different ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) during laparoscopic surgery in people with obesity. The goal is to find a safer and more effective ventilation method for this group.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07751237Recruiting
Ultrasound of the diaphragm during breathing machine weaning
This study uses ultrasound to look at how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) is working while you are on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this can help doctors predict when you can safely breathe on your own and leave the ventilator sooner.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT07716787Recruiting
Brain monitoring during breathing therapy in critically ill patients
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
Dongying, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07709364Recruiting
Heart rate feedback to help nurses make better decisions
This trial tests whether showing nurses their own heart rate data can help them make better decisions during patient care. It aims to improve recovery support for patients.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 21 years+ - NCT06642285Recruiting
Preventing nasal injuries in preterm babies on breathing support
This study tests if using special care steps can prevent nose sores in preterm babies who need breathing support through a mask or nasal prongs. It may help protect your baby's delicate nose from injury.
Kafr ash Shaykh, Kafr el-Sheikh GovernorateAges 7 months–9 months - NCT05990348Recruiting
Comparing two breathing support methods for weaning from ventilator
This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT07686315Recruiting
Safer breathing with advanced monitoring on a ventilator
This trial is testing a new way to monitor your breathing while you are on a ventilator, to make it safer. It is for people who need a ventilator for reasons other than lung failure, like after a coma, injury, or severe infection.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07656259Recruiting
