End-inspiratory pause effects on breathing support
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a specific breathing pause during mechanical ventilation helps patients with moderate to severe lung injury breathe better. It may improve care for patients who are deeply sedated and paralyzed to stay safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- Moderate to severe lung injury (ARDS)
- On a breathing machine for 5 days or less
- Deeply sedated and given muscle relaxants

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how much breathing effort changes when the ventilator uses a higher pressure in people who are recovering from ARDS. The goal is to predict who will respond better so care can be adjusted more safely and effectively.
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
This trial tests if longer periods of lying face-down (prone positioning) can help people with ARDS who are on a breathing machine. It aims to improve oxygen levels and possibly reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
This study tests how changing a patient's body tilt and adjusting a ventilator's settings can help open up collapsed parts of the lungs. It may help patients with severe lung failure.
This trial studies how adjusting ventilator settings can better match the lungs’ ability to move air and oxygen in people with moderate to severe ARDS. It may help doctors tailor breathing support for different “lung mechanics” patterns, especially during the first days after intubation.
This study compares a more careful ventilation approach for people with severe lung breathing failure (ARDS). It aims to improve outcomes by using a specific strategy for how the ventilator controls breathing.
