Tested a muscle-relaxing treatment for severe low-oxygen breathing
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether partially relaxing the breathing-related muscles can help people with severe low oxygen while they are on a breathing machine. It may improve how well the lungs work by changing the way the muscles affect breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the hospital on a breathing machine (invasive mechanical ventilation)
- Your oxygen level is low enough to meet the study thresholds (based on blood oxygen or oxygen settings)
- You do not have a known allergy or serious past reaction to muscle-relaxing medicines
- You do not have a history of malignant high heat reaction with anesthesia (malignant hyperthermia)
- You do not have nerve problems in both wrists/arms or skin burns on both wrists
- You do not have a formally diagnosed muscle/nerve disorder

This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
This trial compares two muscle relaxants, rocuronium and cisatracurium, to see which causes fewer complications in people with chronic kidney disease (not on dialysis) who need general anesthesia. If you have kidney disease and are having surgery that requires a breathing tube, this study may help determine the safer drug for you.
This trial uses a device called TetraGraph to measure how quickly a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) works and wears off during surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for patients who need this medicine.
This trial tests whether a medication that relaxes muscles (called a neuromuscular blocker) improves breathing help during surgery when a type of airway tube is used. It aims to see if it helps patients breathe better while under anesthesia.
This trial tests two medicines that help reverse the muscle-relaxing drugs given to patients on breathing tubes in the intensive care unit. The goal is to see which one works better and faster so patients can wake up sooner.
This study compares two ways of giving a muscle relaxant medicine to people who are on a breathing machine due to severe lung failure. It aims to find out which method helps improve breathing and recovery.
