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 a different way of breathing (called APRV mode) on a ventilator for people with severe lung failure (ARDS). It aims to see if this mode helps improve lung function and breathing mechanics.
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 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.
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 looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
