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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new drug called HRS-9190 against a standard muscle relaxant (cisatracurium) given continuously through an IV during surgery. It aims to see if the new drug works as well and is safe for adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
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 study tests whether a special device that stimulates the muscles you use to breathe (like a pacemaker for your breathing muscles) can help people on a breathing machine get stronger and wean off the ventilator sooner.
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 study is testing whether different levels of muscle relaxation (called neuromuscular blockade) during breathing support can improve lung function in people with serious ARDS. It might help doctors choose the best relaxation level for patients on a breathing machine.
