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 trial studies how small changes to a breathing machine can affect how short of breath you feel. If you are in the ICU and awake, you may be able to help doctors learn how to make ventilator settings more comfortable.
This study looks at how the breathing machine settings and lung function can help predict recovery in people with severe ARDS. You may be able to join if you are on a ventilator for sudden lung failure and have severe ARDS, as long as you don't have certain other health issues.
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.
This study tests whether adjusting the breathing machine settings based on lung pressure (driving pressure) can improve how oxygen reaches your blood and help your heart function in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). It aims to find safer ways to support breathing.
