Pressure support breathing trial for ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to set the breathing machine's pressure support based on your muscle effort. It may help you breathe more comfortably and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have started pressure support breathing within the last 24 hours.
- Your doctors expect you'll need the breathing machine for another 1 to 2 days.
- Your oxygen level in blood is low (less than 300 mmHg) compared to the oxygen you're given.
- You are not sedated or are lightly sedated, calm and cooperative.

This trial tests a new way of adjusting breathing machine support based on how hard you are breathing. It may help people with low oxygen levels who need a ventilator.
This study measures lung pressures and breathing mechanics during planned or emergency breathing machine (ventilator) treatment. It may help doctors better understand lung behavior in both healthy and breathing-distressed lungs to improve care.
This trial checks whether a tool (called PMIvent) can safely and accurately track how hard you are breathing while you are on a ventilator set to “pressure support.” If it works well, it may help clinicians better understand breathing effort during this common type of ventilator care.
This trial tests whether changing a ventilator setting (pressure support settings) is safe and helpful for people who need mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. It’s mainly for adults whose breathing support is expected to continue, and who don’t have several specific lung, brain, or nerve problems.
This study looks at a way to adjust the amount of breathing help from a ventilator to better match each patient's needs. It might help people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
This study tests a new way to adjust the breathing machine settings for patients who are awake and breathing on their own but still need support. The goal is to avoid giving too much help, which can make the breathing muscles weak.
