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 is testing a new way to adjust the pressure support (the extra help you get when breathing on the ventilator) based on your own breathing effort. It aims to make weaning off the ventilator safer and more effective for people who need it for more than 48 hours.
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.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This study tests a special way of slowly reducing the breathing machine's support to help strengthen your breathing muscles. If you are on a ventilator in the ICU, this might help you breathe better on your own and recover faster.
