Sleep quality and ventilator weaning in COPD patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how well patients with COPD sleep while in the intensive care unit and whether better sleep helps them successfully come off the ventilator. If you join, you'll help researchers understand how sleep affects breathing recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
- You have been on a breathing tube and ventilator for more than 24 hours.
- You have stopped receiving continuous sedation or related medications.
- You are awake enough to respond to simple commands (Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8 or higher).
- You do not have brain damage or a nerve/muscle disease that affects breathing.

This trial studies how different breathing support strategies affect people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide (CO2) in their blood. It may help care teams choose safer respiratory support after a breathing machine is stopped.
This study looks at whether nighttime breathing problems can predict long-term success with a non-invasive breathing machine in people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. The goal is to help doctors decide who will benefit most from this therapy.
This study tests two different ways of adjusting the breathing machine (ventilator) to help intensive care patients start breathing more on their own. The goal is to find the better approach to reduce time on the ventilator and improve recovery.
This study tests whether a respiratory rehabilitation program improves sleep quality in people with COPD. It may help you breathe better and sleep more restfully.
This study looks at whether monitoring heart and breathing signals can help predict how well COPD patients on a breathing machine will recover. It aims to find better ways to guide treatment and improve outcomes.
This trial compares two breathing devices (CPAP and NIV) for people with both COPD and sleep apnea who recently needed breathing help in the hospital. The goal is to see which device works better at preventing future breathing emergencies.
