Measure lung pressure and breathing in ventilated ICU patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures lung pressures and breathing mechanics during planned or emergency breathing machine (ventilator) treatment. It may help doctors better understand lung behavior in both healthy and breathing-distressed lungs to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be in an ASA health-risk group of 1 to 3 (not the highest risk)
- You are expected to need a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU or operating room
- You likely should not have severe COPD/emphysema, or heart failure
- Your ventilator settings should not be extremely high (PEEP over 16 or FiO2 over 80%)
- You should not have a known/suspected untreated lung collapse (pneumothorax)

This trial is testing a new way to measure how your lungs are working while you are on a ventilator. It uses a gentle, low-frequency wave to check your lung function without any extra stress.
This trial tests a new way of adjusting breathing machine support based on how hard you are breathing. It may help people with low oxygen levels who need a ventilator.
This trial tests a new way to set the breathing machine's pressure support based on your muscle effort. It may help you breathe more comfortably and improve recovery.
This study tests a new ultrasound method to assess how much strain is happening in the lungs of critically ill adults on a breathing machine. It may help doctors better understand lung stress and guide care in the ICU.
This trial compares two levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients on a breathing machine. It looks at how these pressures affect diaphragm function, how well the lungs work, and how efficiently you breathe.
This trial looks at how different breathing support settings (called PEEP) affect how hard your lungs have to work when you are on a breathing machine. The goal is to find the best setting to make breathing easier for you.
