Measuring lung function in ventilated patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to measure how your lungs are working while you are on a ventilator. It uses a gentle, low-frequency wave to check your lung function without any extra stress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on a breathing tube (intubated) and on a ventilator that controls your breathing.
- Your blood pressure must be stable, with no changes in blood pressure medicine for at least an hour.
- You must be sedated enough that you are not moving or reacting to the ventilator.
- You must be expected to survive at least 48 hours.
- You must be between 18 and 84 years old.
- You cannot be on special lung support like ECMO or nitric oxide.

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.
This study examines whether the way doctors measure height in sedated patients on breathing machines affects lung protection. Researchers will compare different measurement methods to see which one helps prevent breathing-machine-related lung injury in patients with severe lung failure (ARDS).
This trial is testing how to calibrate an esophageal balloon (a thin tube that measures pressure in your chest) for people on a breathing machine. If you are already sedated and have this tube in place, participating may help doctors get more accurate readings to improve your breathing support.
This trial tests whether a more lenient approach to lung-protective ventilation can improve outcomes for patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a balance that is safer for the lungs while still being effective.
This study tests different ways to measure how air is distributed in the lungs of patients on a breathing machine (ventilator) as they are being weaned off. It may help doctors better understand lung function during recovery.
This trial tests a way to deliver lung-protective ventilation (a method that uses low air volumes to avoid lung injury) to adults on breathing machines. It aims to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
