Breathing machine settings for lung recovery in ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific type of breathing machine setting (adaptive pressure control) affects your lungs and recovery. It aims to find the best way to support breathing for people in the ICU with respiratory failure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the ICU because your lungs are not working well on their own.
- Your breathing machine is set to a special mode that adjusts pressure automatically.
- The size of each breath from the machine is set to a specific amount based on your ideal body weight.
- You are not receiving any medication that paralyzes your muscles to help with breathing.
- You or a family member must be able to agree to the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
This trial looks at how different breathing support settings (called PEEP) affect how hard your lungs have to work when you are on a breathing machine. The goal is to find the best setting to make breathing easier for you.
This study looks at how changes to the breathing machine affect your feeling of shortness of breath. Your doctors want to see if small adjustments can make you more comfortable while on the ventilator.
This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
This study looks at a new way to set the breathing machine for patients on ventilators to help protect their lungs. The goal is to give the right amount of air with each breath, which may help people recover better and avoid lung damage.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
