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 - 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+ - NCT05539391Recruiting
Planning the best way to do emergency breathing tubes
This study tests an approach to improve how clinicians place an emergency breathing tube quickly and safely when someone is in serious breathing or life-threatening distress. It may help by standardizing care and optimizing medications and backup steps during urgent situations.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04136717Recruiting
Test if FreeO2 helps keep oxygen levels in range
This study looks at whether adding FreeO2 can help keep your oxygen saturation (a measure of oxygen in the blood) within a target range while you use breathing support like NIV or CPAP. It may help reduce time spent either too low or too high in oxygen levels.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06127654RecruitingPhase 3
Ventilation imaging to improve quality of life in lung cancer radiotherapy
This trial tests whether using a special lung ventilation scan can help doctors design radiation therapy that reduces side effects and improves quality of life for people with stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer.
Liverpool, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06438302Recruiting
Nasal ventilation for patients on a breathing machine
This trial tests whether using a nasal ventilation mask affects how well the brain and lungs work in people who are already on a breathing machine. It is for patients with very low oxygen levels who have been intubated for less than 4 days.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06612242Recruiting
Early vs. late tracheostomy in Guillain-Barre patients
This trial looks at whether having a tracheostomy (a breathing tube placed through the neck) earlier or later helps people with Guillain-Barre syndrome who need a breathing machine. It reviews past cases to see which timing leads to better recovery.
Kfar SabaAges 18 years+ - NCT07175194Recruiting
Matching lung scans to ventilator settings in acute breathing failure
This study uses two lung imaging tests—CT scan and EIT (a non-invasive electrical test)—to find the best ventilator pressure for people with sudden breathing failure. The goal is to tailor settings to your lungs and potentially improve breathing support.
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07164781Enrolling by invitation
Probiotics for preventing infections in ICU patients
This trial tests whether probiotics (good bacteria) can help prevent serious infections in critically ill patients in the ICU. If you are very sick and in the ICU, you may be able to join — as long as you don't have certain conditions like cancer or a weakened immune system.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07019636Recruiting
Direct extubation vs. extubation after a breathing trial
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) in patients who are ready to breathe on their own: taking the tube out right away, or doing a trial of breathing without the machine first. It is for people who are at low risk of needing the tube put back in.
ParisAges 18–65 - NCT05354778Recruiting
Hydrocortisone vs placebo for severe hospital lung infection
This trial studies whether hydrocortisone (a steroid medicine) helps adults with severe bacterial pneumonia that starts in the hospital. Participants get either hydrocortisone or a placebo to see if it improves outcomes in ICU patients.
São Paulo, Sao Paulo SPAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07258875Recruiting
Using ultrasound to guide fluids during lung surgery
This study tests if using a special ultrasound exam (VExUS) to guide fluid management during lung surgery can help reduce complications like lung problems or kidney injury. It may help doctors give you just the right amount of fluids.
Heraklion, CreteAges 18 years+ - NCT05822869Recruiting
Testing early EIT monitoring in people with ARDS
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06741137Recruiting
Inhaled nitric oxide and prone positioning for ARDS
This trial is testing whether adding inhaled nitric oxide to lying on your stomach (prone position) can help people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who are on a ventilator. It uses a special monitor (EIT) to check lung function in real time.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT04912960Recruiting
PEEP breathing support for adults with acute lung failure
This trial studies whether a specific breathing setting called PEEP can help adults whose lungs are failing and who need a breathing machine. Doctors will compare outcomes in patients who fit this critical illness pattern and are safe for the required positioning and ventilator settings.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las PalmasAges 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.
