Breathing Machine Patterns to Predict Recovery in Severe Lung Failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the breathing machine settings and lung function can help predict recovery in people with severe ARDS. You may be able to join if you are on a ventilator for sudden lung failure and have severe ARDS, as long as you don't have certain other health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on a breathing machine because of sudden lung failure.
- You have been diagnosed with severe ARDS (a lung injury that makes it hard to get oxygen) with a very low oxygen level in your blood.
- You are not on a strong blood pressure medication like norepinephrine at a high dose.
- You do not have severe COPD or pulmonary fibrosis that already limits your breathing.
- You do not have a chest tube, a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO), or a tube in your neck (tracheostomy).

This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine settings based on lung pressure (driving pressure) can improve how oxygen reaches your blood and help your heart function in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find safer ways to support breathing.
This study looks at a new measure called 'mechanical power' (the energy from the breathing machine) to see if it can predict inflammation in the lungs and blood of patients with low oxygen levels. It may help doctors better understand how the breathing machine affects lung damage.
This study looks at whether a measurement called 'mechanical power' can help doctors predict when someone with COPD on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own again. If you are a COPD patient in the ICU and your doctor thinks you might be ready to come off the ventilator, this research could help improve how that decision is made.
This trial looks at how changes in lung pressure during breathing might affect recovery in patients with severe ARDS who are on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO). It could help doctors improve treatment for people with this serious lung condition.
This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
This trial studies how adjusting ventilator settings can better match the lungs’ ability to move air and oxygen in people with moderate to severe ARDS. It may help doctors tailor breathing support for different “lung mechanics” patterns, especially during the first days after intubation.
