A breathing and brain-signal study for adults on ventilators
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain activity during care for adults who are on a breathing machine through a tube in the windpipe. It may help doctors understand how to monitor recovery and guide care after intubation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently on a breathing machine through an endotracheal tube (a tube in your windpipe)
- You received a medicine that temporarily relaxes your muscles (a neuromuscular blocker) for intubation or after intubation
- Your healthcare team must be able to check your brain activity/assessment while you’re in the study
- You must not have died before the breathing tube is removed

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
This study looks at how children breathe while on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help doctors adjust the machine better. It may help improve comfort and weaning off the ventilator.
This study looks at how to judge when it is safe to remove the breathing tube in people in the ICU after a brain injury. It may help improve timing and safety of extubation, when supported by a breathing trial and clinical stability.
This study looks at how well a person’s brain and nerve function works after doctors place an emergency breathing tube. It may help improve care after urgent intubation, especially for people who were functioning fairly well before the event.
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
