Recruiting studies
- NCT07630662Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Function and Ventilator Weaning Success
This study looks at whether testing the strength and function of your breathing muscles (diaphragm and chest wall muscles) can predict whether you're ready to come off a ventilator (breathing machine). The goal is to help doctors make better decisions about when patients are ready to breathe on their own.

Endotracheal suction during extubation in the ICU
This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
Orléans, LoiretAges 18 years+ - NCT07392086Recruiting
Comparing two types of ventilation during one-lung surgery
This trial compares two ways of helping you breathe during chest surgery: flow-controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation. The goal is to see which method works better for oxygen and lung protection while one lung is temporarily deflated.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18–80 - NCT07205952Recruiting
Detecting breathing difficulty in ventilated patients
This study looks at whether a computer system can automatically detect when a patient on a breathing machine (ventilator) is having trouble breathing. It may help doctors respond faster to the patient's needs.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges Any age - NCT06584604Recruiting
Calibrating esophageal balloon for breathing machine patients
This trial is testing how to calibrate an esophageal balloon (a thin tube that measures pressure in your chest) for people on a breathing machine. If you are already sedated and have this tube in place, participating may help doctors get more accurate readings to improve your breathing support.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07656155Enrolling by invitation
Digital health study for high-risk ICU patients on ventilators
This study looks at patients who are in the ICU, on a breathing machine, and have a long-term health condition. It aims to use digital tools to better understand these high-risk patients and improve their care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06700681Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two sedatives for heart ablation procedures
This trial compares two sedative medicines (remimazolam and propofol) given during heart ablation procedures. The study uses brain-wave monitoring to see which medicine provides better sedation and recovery. It's for people who are already scheduled for this procedure with a specific doctor.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT06245317Recruiting
New ventilation method for children having laparoscopic surgery
This trial compares a special ventilation method (PCV-VG) to standard care during laparoscopic surgery in children. It aims to see if it helps them breathe better during the procedure.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 1–8 - NCT06805357Recruiting
Lung opening during chest therapy on a breathing machine
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
CréteilAges 18–100 - NCT01571986Recruiting
Improving non-invasive breathing support
This study is looking at ways to improve non-invasive ventilation, which is breathing support given without a breathing tube. You may be invited if you’re already receiving this kind of support and you agree to take part.
MilanAges 18–99 - NCT07732114Recruiting
Liver vein vs. heart echo to check right heart function on a ventilator
This study compares a liver vein ultrasound method with a standard heart ultrasound for checking how well the right side of the heart is pumping in patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator). If you are on a ventilator and can get a clear ultrasound of your heart and liver veins, you may be able to join.
Alexandria, Shebin El-KomAges 18 years+ - NCT07455214Recruiting
Heart rate variability and breathing trial success in ventilated patients
This study looks at whether heart rate patterns can help predict if a person on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
New Taipei CityAges 18–85 - NCT06575530RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam for sedation after non-cardiac surgery
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam besylate in patients who need a breathing tube and light sedation after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT06520605Recruiting
CMV reactivation in ICU patients on ventilators for a week or more
This study looks at whether a common virus called cytomegalovirus (CMV) becomes active again in ICU patients who need a breathing machine for a week or more. It may help doctors understand who is at risk and how to better care for them.
Lucknow, Uttar PradeshAges 18–80 - NCT06107907Recruiting
Oxygen flow and pressure in heart failure patients
This study tests a new way to measure pressure in your lungs while you receive high-flow oxygen therapy. It may help doctors better understand how to use this treatment in people with heart failure who need extra breathing support.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06474559Recruiting
Comparing two breathing tubes during urology surgery
This trial compares a special breathing tube (LMA Protector) with a standard tube (ETT) to see which one works better for patients having planned urological surgery. It checks how easy it is to breathe with the machine and the risk of stomach contents getting into the lungs.
PátraiAges 18 years+ - NCT06464224Recruiting
Breathing effort patterns in patients coming off the ventilator
This study observes how your breathing effort changes as doctors try to remove you from the breathing machine (ventilator). It helps understand why some patients have trouble breathing on their own after being on the ventilator.
Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT06321848Recruiting
Ultrasound to guide weaning from a breathing machine
This trial uses ultrasound pictures of the heart, lungs, and diaphragm (a muscle that helps you breathe) to help doctors decide when to take a patient off a breathing machine after surgery. It may help make the weaning process safer and more personalized.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT06142773Recruiting
Brain activity and breathing during MRI
This study looks at how brain activity relates to the depth of your breaths during an MRI scan while you are under anesthesia. It may help doctors better understand breathing control during surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07710469Enrolling by invitation
Weighted blanket for comfort during vent weaning
This trial is testing whether a special weighted blanket can help you feel more calm and comfortable as doctors slowly reduce the support from your breathing machine. It's for people who are on a ventilator and ready to start the weaning process.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06115395Recruiting
Non-invasive ventilation for bronchoscopy
This trial uses a breathing mask (non-invasive ventilation) to help people who need a bronchoscopy. It aims to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for those with breathing problems.
Al MansurahAges 18–70 - NCT07177183Recruiting
Low creatinine as a sign of longer breathing tube use
This study looks at whether low blood creatinine levels can help predict which patients will need a breathing machine for a long time or have trouble coming off it. If you are under 18 and in a post-ICU care unit, you may be able to join.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT06994442RecruitingPhase 3
