Breath test to find lung infections faster
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new breath analysis method to quickly diagnose respiratory infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. If successful, it could lead to faster treatment for serious lung conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU at OHSU
- You do not have COVID-19
- Your oxygen levels are not critically low despite maximum ventilator support

This study collects and analyzes the moisture you breathe out while on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to learn more about your condition by examining your breath.
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 trial is testing a new breath test that can quickly find out if you have a lung infection. It might help get the right treatment faster and reduce the need for more invasive tests.
This trial tests a new breath test to quickly find the cause of respiratory infections. If you are in the hospital with a cough or cold, this test might help get the right treatment faster.
This study collects blood samples from people in the ICU with sudden heart or lung problems caused by inflammation. The goal is to learn more about these conditions and improve future treatments.
This study looks at a new way to check how well your lungs respond to the breathing machine. It uses a simple test to measure if your lungs can open up and stay open, which may help doctors adjust your ventilation better.
