Breathing pattern study for ICU patients on ventilators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult currently on a breathing machine with a tube in your windpipe.
- The breathing tube must have been in place for less than 48 hours.
- You must not have severe unstable blood pressure or heart function.
- You must not have a serious long-term lung disease that needs home oxygen.
- You must be getting medicine to keep you calm and comfortable (sedation) while on the ventilator.
- You must agree to take part and sign a consent form.

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 observes how your breathing effort changes as doctors try to remove you from the breathing machine (ventilator). It helps understand why some patients have trouble breathing on their own after being on the ventilator.
This study compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at how well air moves through the lungs and how blood flows in different types of patients who have been on a breathing machine for a long time. It may help clinicians better understand these patterns during “weaning” (trying to come off the machine), which could improve care plans.
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.
