Measuring diaphragm breathing signals during ICU ventilation
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures electrical activity of the diaphragm and how your breathing system works while you are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand breathing during recovery after major lung events.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18
- Be in the ICU after lung transplant or after sudden breathing failure requiring an invasive breathing machine
- Be breathing on your own some of the time (not fully paralyzed)
- Be on a sedating medicine set to a light level (RASS between 0 and -2)
- Have written consent from you or your decision-maker

This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
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.
This trial is testing a new way to monitor your breathing while you are on a ventilator, to make it safer. It is for people who need a ventilator for reasons other than lung failure, like after a coma, injury, or severe infection.
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.
This trial tests a device that helps stimulate the diaphragm to improve breathing in patients who need a ventilator. It's for people with new breathing problems who have been in the ICU on a ventilator for less than 4 days.
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.
