This trial tests a special suction tube with a viewing scope to gently clean the throat and prevent pneumonia in patients who recently had a stroke. The goal is to reduce serious lung infections in people who cannot be on a breathing machine.
This trial tests whether feeding through a tube placed in the stomach can prevent pneumonia in patients who have had a severe stroke and cannot swallow safely. Pneumonia is a common and serious complication after stroke, and this study aims to see if careful feeding management can reduce this risk.
This study tests a gentle, nonsurgical suction method to prevent lung infections in people who are on a breathing tube for more than 48 hours. It may help if you or your loved one has a serious injury, severe brain injury, stroke, or other condition causing unconsciousness.
This trial tests whether using an ultrasound to guide a special suction tube in the throat can help prevent lung infections in patients who need a breathing machine. It may help doctors decide when and how to suction more safely.
This trial tests if a simple oral suctioning routine can lower the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia in ICU patients. Your loved one may be able to join if they need a breathing tube and do not have a serious lung infection or a weakened immune system.
This trial uses dynamic airway resistance and machine learning to guide when sputum suction is needed in ventilated patients with ARDS, AECOPD, or severe pneumonia.
