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+ - NCT07771101Recruiting
Using a pain monitor to time breathing-tube removal
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT07758894Recruiting
Breathing without a breathing tube during heart transplant surgery
This study tests whether heart transplant surgery can be done while the patient is awake and breathing on their own, instead of using a breathing tube. If successful, it may lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 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+ - NCT06178510Recruiting
Breathing support after heart surgery
This trial tests a new way to help patients breathe after heart surgery. It compares standard breathing support with a new device that might help you recover faster in the ICU.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–120 - NCT07656259Recruiting
