- 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.

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+ - NCT07031986Recruiting
Lung surgery study for people with obesity
This trial compares two devices (bronchial blockers vs. double-lumen tubes) for one-lung ventilation during lung cancer surgery in people with obesity. It aims to find which method works better for this group.

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 - NCT07005193Recruiting
Cleaner cooking and ventilation for better heart and lung health
This study tests if switching to cleaner LPG gas stoves and adding kitchen fans can reduce indoor air pollution and improve your heart and lung health. You would be asked to use a new stove and fan, and we will check your health over time.
Zhumadian, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06966817Enrolling by invitation
Mouth care solutions for ventilator patients in the ICU
This study tests two different mouth-care solutions for patients on breathing machines, to see if they can prevent pneumonia and improve mouth health in intensive care.
AnkaraAges 18–90 - NCT02514655Recruiting
Device to control breathing-tube cuff pressure to prevent pneumonia
This trial tests a simple device that helps keep the cuff pressure on a breathing tube at the right level. The goal is to reduce the risk of pneumonia that can happen in people on a ventilator.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06878703RecruitingPhase 3
Dexmedetomidine vs midazolam for preterm babies on a ventilator
This study compares two sedative medicines, dexmedetomidine and midazolam, to see which one helps preterm babies on a ventilator breathe on their own sooner. Your baby may be eligible if they were born very early and need medicine to relax while on the breathing machine.
ParisAges Up to 7 months - NCT06824961Recruiting
Comparing 3 vs 5 second pauses during CPR for cardiac arrest
This trial is testing whether increasing the pause in chest compressions from 3 to 5 seconds during CPR helps improve breathing support and the chance of restarting the heart. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and were treated with a mechanical compression device called LUCAS.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 16 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT06482983Recruiting
Two breathing methods for women having laparoscopic gynecologic surgery
This study compares two ways of helping you breathe during surgery to see which one is better for your brain and lungs. The results may help doctors choose the safest method for people like you.
Istanbul, UmraniyeAges 18–70 - NCT06450678Recruiting
Can a physiotherapy test predict breathing tube removal success?
This study checks if a quick physical therapy exam can predict whether a person will need the breathing machine again after it is removed. It is for adults who have been on a ventilator for more than two days and have already shown they can breathe on their own for a short time.
ParisAges 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 - NCT06296277Recruiting
Breathing machine use during surgery
This study looks at how a breathing machine is used during surgery. It is for adults who need help breathing while under general anesthesia for their operation.
Alessandria, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06305273Recruiting
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+ - NCT06236685Enrolling by invitation
Optimizing ventilation monitoring with advanced techniques
This trial tests a new way to monitor breathing for people on a ventilator during surgery or in intensive care. It aims to improve care by combining advanced monitoring methods.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06125210Recruiting
Early treatment bundle to prevent ventilator dependence in kids
This study tests a set of early therapies (a 'bundle') for children on breathing machines to help them get off the machine sooner and avoid long-term dependence. It may be a good fit if your child is stable and doesn't have severe brain or spine problems.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 4 weeks–18 years - NCT06066502RecruitingPhase 3
Precision ventilation for ARDS
This study tests whether a customized breathing machine approach ("precision ventilation") is better than usual care for patients with ARDS. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and recovery while avoiding lung damage.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05756387Recruiting
Improving nighttime home breathing support for people with COPD

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ventilation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 506 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.
