Comparing two breathing support modes for ICU patients on ventilators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two types of breathing support for people on ventilators in the ICU. It looks at how each method affects the body's natural control systems (like heart rate) and may help find a better way to support breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and in the ICU.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 3 full days (72 hours).
- You are ready to start a mode that helps you breathe more on your own, but not yet ready to come off the ventilator completely.
- You have not already tried breathing on your own successfully in the last 24 hours.
- You do not have serious heart problems, unstable blood pressure, or certain other medical conditions (like severe anemia, pregnancy, or major brain injury).

This trial tests two different ways of adjusting a ventilator to help patients get off the breathing machine. It aims to find which method works better for people in the ICU who are ready to start the weaning process.
This study tests if slowly reducing the breathing support from a ventilator can strengthen a patient's own breathing muscles. It may help patients who are still on the ventilator but stable enough to start building endurance.
This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
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 compares two breathing machine modes for patients in intensive care who need a ventilator due to severe lung failure. The goal is to see if letting the patient breathe on their own is better than the machine controlling all breaths.
