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 - NCT05856136RecruitingPhase 4
Study how opioid exposure affects diaphragm muscle function
This study looks at whether receiving opioids for pain during lower-leg surgery changes how well the diaphragm muscle (the main breathing muscle) works afterward. It compares breathing muscle function in people who do and do not have certain lung conditions.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06988111Recruiting
Breathing support after major surgery
This trial tests two types of non-invasive breathing help (NIV and HVNI) for patients who develop serious breathing problems within two days after major surgery. It aims to see which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.
Asyut, AssuitAges 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 - NCT07041021Recruiting
Fluid guidance during abdominal surgery using neck vein
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during abdominal surgery by using ultrasound to check the internal jugular vein in your neck. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications after surgery.
Ismailia, Ismailia GovernorateAges 20–70 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07517497Recruiting
Lung Vibration Device for Seniors With Hip Fracture and Breathing Problems
This study tests a special vibration device on the chest to help older adults who have both a hip fracture and acute breathing failure recover better. The device uses gentle vibrations to help clear the lungs and improve breathing.
