Recruiting studies
- NCT03736707Recruiting
Testing two breathing machines in very preterm babies
This study compares two ways of helping very preterm infants breathe: a special high-frequency ventilation method versus the standard mechanical ventilator. It aims to see which method works better for preterm babies with breathing failure soon after birth.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 1 minute–1 hour - NCT03901924Recruiting
Ventilator settings to protect the breathing muscle
This study looks at a specific way to control a breathing machine (ventilator) to help prevent weakness of the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, in newly intubated adults. You might be considered if you are newly on a ventilator for less than 36 hours and certain other conditions are not present.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07463885Recruiting
Breathing on your own vs machine breathing for low oxygen
This study tests whether letting patients with serious breathing problems breathe on their own (with a breathing tube still in place) is better than the usual way of using the ventilator to do all the breathing. It may lead to faster recovery and less harm.
Oslo, OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05492344Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided breathing support for severe lung failure
This study tests whether using an ultrasound scan to guide a breathing machine settings can improve care for people with moderate or severe ARDS, a serious lung condition. If you qualify, the team will compare the ultrasound-guided approach to standard ventilator care in the ICU.
BrusselsAges 18–100 - NCT06367946Recruiting
Why ventilators can hurt older lungs
This study looks at how mechanical ventilation affects the lungs of elderly people. Researchers will study lung tissue and blood samples from patients having surgery to find ways to prevent lung injury.
ShanghaiAges Any age - NCT07823816Enrolling by invitation
Lung-protective ventilation for stomach removal surgery
This study tests a type of breathing support during surgery to remove the stomach (gastrectomy) that may protect the lungs. It aims to see if this approach reduces complications and helps patients recover better.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi MinhAges 18–70 - NCT07761468Enrolling by invitation
Standardized medication dosing for ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing a standardized way to adjust a medication used to help people on ventilators in the ICU. It aims to see if a more consistent dosing approach can help patients breathe better and possibly come off the ventilator sooner.
Querétaro City, QuerétaroAges 18 years+ - NCT07638540Enrolling by invitation
Defining Standards for How Patients Work With Ventilators
This study brings together world experts to agree on common language and definitions for how patients interact with breathing machines. If you're an experienced clinician or researcher in this field, your input could help standardize care globally.
Al Ahmadi, KuwaitAges 30 years+ - NCT07624786Recruiting
Study of How Breathing Tubes and Patients Work Together
This study looks at recordings from patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the hospital to understand when the machine and patient's breathing don't sync up, and whether this affects how well patients do. Researchers will review your medical records and machine data that were already collected during your hospital stay.
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07543939Recruiting
Breathing measurements during minimally invasive abdominal surgery
This study measures how your lungs respond to a specific breathing machine setting during planned abdominal surgery. Understanding these measurements may help doctors use ventilation (breathing assistance) more safely during surgery.
RiyadhAges 18–65 - NCT06528704Recruiting
Real-time ventilation feedback during cardiac arrest
This trial tests if giving real-time feedback to rescuers during CPR can improve how they deliver breaths (rate and volume) to a person whose heart has stopped. It may help make ventilation more consistent and effective.
Knokke, West-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07467265Recruiting
Testing a breathing test to safely remove ventilators
This study is testing a simple way to measure how well you breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator in the ICU. It helps doctors decide the best time to safely remove the breathing tube.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 22 years+ - NCT06790875Recruiting
Comparing two ventilator settings for lung health in ARDS
This study tests two methods of adjusting a ventilator to see which one may better protect the lungs of patients with ARDS. It will help doctors learn how to set the machine to reduce strain on the lungs.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT07453966Recruiting
Lung vibration therapy for people on breathing machines with lung infection
This study tests a device that delivers gentle vibrations to the lungs to help clear infection in people who are on a breathing machine. It may help improve oxygen levels and recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06550219Recruiting
Using a face mask breathing support in premature babies with breathing trouble
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
AlexandriaAges 1 hour–1 day - NCT07436780Recruiting
Immune cells in the lungs of ventilated patients
This study looks at immune cells in the lungs of people on breathing machines. It aims to understand how these cells change in patients who develop pneumonia while on the ventilator.
LimogesAges 18 years+ - NCT07409727RecruitingPhase 4
Acetylcysteine inhalation to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients
This trial tests if breathing in a medication called acetylcysteine can help prevent lung infections in patients who are on a breathing machine. If you or a loved one is on a ventilator, this treatment might reduce the chance of getting ventilator-associated pneumonia.
CairoAges 18–64 - NCT07375667Recruiting
Airway suction guidance in ventilated patients
This trial uses dynamic airway resistance and machine learning to guide when sputum suction is needed in ventilated patients with ARDS, AECOPD, or severe pneumonia.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–90 - NCT06795971Recruiting
Comparing oxygen methods for hypoxemic respiratory failure
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06466980Recruiting
Study of ventilator-related events after cardiac arrest
This study looks at lung-related problems that can happen when someone is on a breathing machine after surviving a cardiac arrest. If you qualify, researchers will track your recovery to better understand how to prevent these complications.
Corbeil-EssonnesAges 18 years+ - NCT07298889Recruiting
Higher pressure support for pneumonia or ARDS patients
This trial tests whether using a higher level of pressure support (called PEEP) during noninvasive mask breathing can help people with pneumonia or ARDS (a serious lung condition) recover. It might be a good option if you need help breathing with a mask and meet the oxygen level requirements.
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT07267104Recruiting
Home ventilation study for COPD patients
This study looks at signals from non-invasive home ventilators to better track COPD. It may help understand how to manage the condition using data from your device.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 40–80 - NCT04903262Recruiting
Extra CO2 removal to protect lungs in moderate ARDS
This study tests an “extra-CO2 removal” breathing support approach to help protect the lungs in people with moderate ARDS, a serious lung injury. You would be on a ventilator for a short time, and the team would check whether this approach improves breathing outcomes while aiming to be safer for the lungs.
BolognaAges 18–100 - NCT07245888Recruiting
Studying pneumonia in ventilated ICU patients

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 504 recruiting ventilation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a ventilation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a ventilation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
