Record breathing effort to protect lungs during ventilation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a way to measure how hard a patient is breathing and how the lungs and diaphragm are working while someone is on a breathing machine. The goal is to help the team use a “lung- and diaphragm-protective” ventilation strategy and see if it improves care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (the patient) are at least 28 days old
- The patient weighs more than 3 kilograms
- The patient needs an invasive breathing machine (a tube placed into the airway)
- Doctors expect the patient will need the breathing machine for more than 48 hours
- The patient has not refused consent

This study checks whether measurements of your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) can act as a useful “biomarker” to track lung disease. You might be asked to do breathing tests and follow study instructions, and your results may help researchers better monitor COPD, asthma, fibrosis, or pulmonary hypertension.
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.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves while you try breathing on your own. It may help doctors better understand when patients are ready to come off the breathing machine.
This study looks at how the diaphragm (a key breathing muscle) changes during and after being on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help researchers understand why breathing can get weaker after ventilation and how to measure it safely (including with MRI).
This study is testing how different settings on a breathing machine affect your breathing effort and drive. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings for patients with severe low oxygen levels.
This trial measures how your breathing muscles work while we try taking you off the breathing machine. The results could help doctors predict when you're ready to breathe on your own.
