Closed-loop breathing control vs standard care for kids in ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares a computerized “closed-loop” system that helps match breathing support to a child’s needs versus usual (standard) breathing control. It’s for critically ill children on a breathing machine, aiming to improve synchronization between the child and the ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 1 month and under 18 years old
- Be in the PICU (children’s intensive care unit) and expected to need a breathing machine for at least the next 3 hours
- Have signs of your own spontaneous breathing while on the ventilator
- Consent must be signed by the patient or a parent/relative if the patient can’t consent
- Not have a decision already made to stop or withdraw life support
- Not be pregnant, and able to provide a needed reference breathing waveform

This study compares two ways of timing a breathing mask's support to match your own breaths. If you're in the ICU or ER and need help breathing for at least 2 more hours, this trial may test which method works better.
This trial tests a closed-loop system that automatically adjusts the oxygen level in your breathing tube, aiming to keep your oxygen levels in a safe range with less need for manual changes. It may help if you are in the ICU, need a breathing machine, and have low blood oxygen despite receiving extra oxygen.
This trial looks at how doctors manage breathing support for children in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for kids who need help breathing.
This trial tests if an artificial intelligence system can help doctors better manage breathing machines for children in the pediatric ICU. If successful, it might lead to safer and more personalized ventilation care.
This trial tests a computer-guided (“closed-loop”) oxygen control system for very preterm babies who need breathing support. It aims to keep oxygen levels safer and more consistent than standard care.
This study compares two breathing machine modes for patients in intensive care who need a ventilator due to severe lung failure. The goal is to see if letting the patient breathe on their own is better than the machine controlling all breaths.
