Breathing support tailored to your effort in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way of adjusting breathing machine support based on how hard you are breathing. It may help people with low oxygen levels who need a ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU with low oxygen levels due to acute respiratory failure.
- You started on a specific breathing mode (pressure support) within the last 24 hours.
- You are expected to need the ventilator for at least 1 to 2 more days.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not on any machines like ECMO (heart-lung bypass).
- You have no muscle or nerve disease affecting breathing.

This trial tests a new way to set the breathing machine's pressure support based on your muscle effort. It may help you breathe more comfortably and improve recovery.
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 trial checks whether a tool (called PMIvent) can safely and accurately track how hard you are breathing while you are on a ventilator set to “pressure support.” If it works well, it may help clinicians better understand breathing effort during this common type of ventilator care.
This study looks at a way to adjust the amount of breathing help from a ventilator to better match each patient's needs. It might help people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
This trial tests whether changing a ventilator setting (pressure support settings) is safe and helpful for people who need mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. It’s mainly for adults whose breathing support is expected to continue, and who don’t have several specific lung, brain, or nerve problems.
This study looks at how to better adjust breathing machines for people in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It tests a new way to measure if the machine is doing too much of the work, which could help tailor support and make breathing easier.
