TorontoAges 18 years+ - NCT07154589Recruiting
AbClo device for open abdomen and breathing
This trial is testing a device called AbClo that helps close the abdomen after surgery. It looks at how the device affects breathing in patients who are in the ICU and on a ventilator.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06655805Recruiting
Registry for automated breathing support in adults
This trial collects data from adults in the ICU who need oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation, or a breathing tube with a machine. It looks at how automated settings affect care.
Sankt Gallen, Canton of St. GallenAges 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 - 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+ - NCT07265882Recruiting
Bedside test for breathing tube patients
This trial uses a simple bedside test to evaluate patients who are on a breathing machine and not breathing on their own. It may help doctors better understand and manage acute respiratory failure.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–90 - NCT07437846Recruiting
How lung pressure settings affect breathing effort in ICU patients
This trial looks at how different breathing support settings (called PEEP) affect how hard your lungs have to work when you are on a breathing machine. The goal is to find the best setting to make breathing easier for you.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07071935RecruitingPhase 2
Early ventilation study for newly diagnosed ALS
This trial tests whether starting non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) early in ALS helps people breathe easier and live better. If you've been diagnosed with ALS in the last 6 months and haven't used a breathing machine before, you may qualify.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 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+ - NCT06719258Recruiting
Trial on heated humidifiers for breathing tubes
This trial studies how heating and adding moisture to the air breathed through a breathing tube (called a heated humidifier) affects patients in intensive care. It focuses on people who need the breathing tube for a longer time or special protective settings.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05211661Recruiting
Diaphragm health during breathing machine support
This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) changes when a person is on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand how to better support breathing and recovery.
AachenAges 18–75 - NCT06776939Recruiting
High-flow oxygen through trach tube to help weaning from a ventilator
This trial tests if high-flow oxygen delivered through a tracheostomy tube can make mucus less sticky and reduce breathing effort while you are being taken off a ventilator. It could help you breathe easier during weaning.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05751863Recruiting
Sedation-first vs usual care in ventilated trauma patients
This study compares how pain medicine and calming medicine are started in critically injured (trauma) adults who are on a breathing machine. It aims to see whether a specific “analgesia-first” approach can improve comfort and support breathing weaning.
