Study on pneumonia from breathing machines in the ICU
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study watches patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) to learn more about pneumonia that can happen from the machine. The goal is to understand how to better prevent and treat this infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently in or about to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You are expected to be on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours
- You or your legally authorized representative can give permission to join, or the hospital allows data collection without consent

This trial tests an “antibiotic stewardship” approach—choosing and adjusting antibiotics in a smarter way—for a first episode of pneumonia in patients on a breathing machine. It may help ensure the right antibiotics are used at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary or overly broad treatment.
This study looks at immune cells in the lungs of people on breathing machines. It aims to understand how these cells change in patients who develop pneumonia while on the ventilator.
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 study looks at different types of lung infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. By analyzing fluid from your lungs, researchers hope to better understand pneumonia and improve treatment.
This study looks at better ways to diagnose pneumonia in patients who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It uses two scoring systems to help doctors identify pneumonia earlier and predict how well patients will do.
This study tests a new way to quickly diagnose pneumonia in children on breathing machines in the ICU. It uses information from the body and germs to find the right treatment faster.
