Understanding breathing patterns and adjusting ventilator support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific breathing pattern called reverse triggering in people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) who are on a ventilator. The goal is to see how adjusting the ventilator settings affects this pattern and improves breathing coordination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have ARDS (a severe lung injury that causes breathing failure), diagnosed using the latest guidelines.
- You must be on a mechanical ventilator (a machine that helps you breathe).
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You cannot have a tracheostomy (a tube placed directly into your windpipe).
- You cannot have a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) or a chest tube that is leaking air.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
This trial looks at how much breathing effort changes when the ventilator uses a higher pressure in people who are recovering from ARDS. The goal is to predict who will respond better so care can be adjusted more safely and effectively.
This study looks at a specific breathing event (“avalanche phenomenon”) when the lungs are opened in people with early, moderate-to-severe ARDS. The goal is to understand what’s happening in the lungs and whether it can guide better care.
This study tests whether a customized breathing machine approach ("precision ventilation") is better than usual care for patients with ARDS. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and recovery while avoiding lung damage.
This trial tests a more tailored way to set the amount of air delivered by a ventilator in people with severe ARDS. The goal is to see if personalized breathing settings can improve breathing and heart-related monitoring while patients are in intensive care.
This study looks at a way to adjust the amount of breathing help from a ventilator to better match each patient's needs. It might help people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
