Breath analysis in ventilated ICU patients
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study collects and analyzes the moisture you breathe out while on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to learn more about your condition by examining your breath.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in an intensive care unit (ICU).
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- The breathing circuit can safely hold a small sampling device.

This study tests a new breath analysis method to quickly diagnose respiratory infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. If successful, it could lead to faster treatment for serious lung conditions.
This study looks at how well current breathing measures predict a patient's readiness to have their breathing tube removed in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to make the decision to remove the tube safer and more accurate.
This study tests a new way to measure breathing difficulty using a small device that checks exhaled carbon dioxide. It may help doctors better evaluate shortness of breath in ICU patients with certain serious illnesses.
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 study looks at a specific breathing pattern in very sick patients on a ventilator. Researchers want to find the best way to treat this pattern, which may help you breathe better and recover faster.
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
