- NCT05963737Recruiting
Testing a ventilator setting change for people on pressure support
This trial tests whether changing a ventilator setting (pressure support settings) is safe and helpful for people who need mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. It’s mainly for adults whose breathing support is expected to continue, and who don’t have several specific lung, brain, or nerve problems.

Comparing two breathing machines for babies with bronchiolitis
This study tests if a new type of breathing machine (NAVA) works better than the standard machine for babies under 2 with severe bronchiolitis in the pediatric ICU. The goal is to see which machine helps babies breathe easier and avoid needing a breathing tube.
The Bronx, New YorkAges birth–2 years - NCT06067204Recruiting
Automatic breathing machine during cardiac arrest
This trial tests if using an automatic ventilator during CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest helps with survival. It aims to find better ways to manage breathing support in emergencies.

Face position study for obese patients during anesthesia
This study tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06430554Recruiting
Personalized ventilation for ARDS patients on breathing machines
This trial tests a personalized ventilation method that adjusts how the breathing machine delivers air based on your lung's air and blood flow match. It aims to improve breathing for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are already on a ventilator and will be placed on their stomach.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT06361420Recruiting
Lung-protective breathing during aortic dissection repair
This study tests a special way of using a breathing machine during surgery to protect your lungs. It is for people who are having surgery to fix a tear in the main artery of the heart (acute type A aortic dissection).
Fuzhou, FujianAges 14–70 - 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 - NCT06438198Recruiting
Early switch to assisted breathing for lung failure
This trial tests switching patients from full ventilator support to a more gentle, assisted breathing mode earlier than usual. It may help people with severe lung failure recover faster and avoid complications from prolonged deep sedation.
RotterdamAges 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+ - NCT06480162Recruiting
How breathing machines affect the brain's memory center
This trial studies how mechanical ventilation (breathing machine) affects the hippocampus, a part of the brain important for memory. It may help people who already have an electrode in their hippocampus understand how breathing support impacts brain function.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06494215Recruiting
Comparing methods to measure lung air distribution in ventilated patients
This study tests different ways to measure how air is distributed in the lungs of patients on a breathing machine (ventilator) as they are being weaned off. It may help doctors better understand lung function during recovery.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06512935Recruiting
Ventilator study for preterm infants with lung recovery
This study tests a new way of setting the ventilator for preterm babies born before 34 weeks who are still on a breathing machine. It aims to improve lung healing and heart function by finding the best pressure settings. The results could help your baby breathe more comfortably.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 week–4 weeks - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07022704Recruiting
Doxapram to help COPD patients breathe easier off the ventilator
This trial tests if the drug doxapram can improve diaphragm movement in COPD patients who are being taken off a ventilator during a breathing trial. It aims to make the transition smoother and more successful.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 20–65 - NCT07034599Recruiting
Negative pressure breathing after heart pump implant
This study looks at how a breathing machine that uses negative pressure (like a vacuum) affects the heart and blood flow in people who have a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), a type of heart pump. It may help doctors learn the best way to support breathing after surgery.
KarlsburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07100860Recruiting
Lung surgery study: how breathing tube time affects recovery
This study checks if the length of time one lung is ventilated (breathing for you) during chest surgery affects your risk of lung complications after surgery. It may help doctors plan safer surgeries.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–85 - NCT07196436Recruiting
Air cleaner and ventilation study for asthma
This study tests if improving home ventilation and adding air cleaners can help manage asthma symptoms. It's for adults and children with asthma who own their home in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Arlington, TexasAges 5 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 - 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 527 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.
