Oscillatory ventilation study for ICU patients on breathing machines
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new breathing method (high-frequency oscillatory ventilation) for patients in the ICU who need a breathing tube. It looks at how safe it is and how it affects the body, and is for people with certain lung problems like ARDS or collapsed lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 90 years old.
- You are in the ICU and have a breathing tube that will likely stay in for at least 2 more days.
- You have one of these lung conditions: ARDS (severe lung inflammation), atelectasis (collapsed lung), or VAP (pneumonia from the ventilator).
- You agree to take part and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant, and do not have a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) or severe chronic lung disease needing oxygen at home.

This study compares two ways of helping very preterm infants breathe: a special high-frequency ventilation method versus the standard mechanical ventilator. It aims to see which method works better for preterm babies with breathing failure soon after birth.
This study tests three different devices that help clear mucus from the lungs of patients on a breathing machine. It aims to see which device works best for treating collapsed lung areas (atelectasis).
This trial tests a device called MetaNeb that delivers high-frequency vibrations to help clear mucus and open collapsed air sacs in the lungs. It is designed for patients in the ICU who are awake, alert, and have trouble breathing or need extra oxygen.
This study tests a new breathing machine (INBENTUS VERSATILE ventilator) for people who need help breathing. It checks if the machine is safe and works well for patients who need a ventilator and then slowly come off it.
This study tests a different way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) for people with lung injury (ARDS) to see if it helps them recover better. You might be able to join if you are already on a ventilator in the ICU and meet certain health conditions.
This trial tests a new way of using a ventilator (TCAV) versus standard care for people with moderate-to-severe lung failure caused by community-acquired pneumonia. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
