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.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- 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
- You are not on multiple strong blood pressure medications with very low blood pressure

This study tests a new way to measure breathing difficulty using a small device that checks exhaled carbon dioxide. It may help doctors better evaluate shortness of breath in ICU patients with certain serious illnesses.
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 study uses a simple breath test to look for signs of lung infections. It aims to see if the test can help doctors find infections faster and more easily than current methods.
This study looks for chemical “biomarkers” in samples taken during ICU care to better understand what happens during mechanical ventilation. It may help future care by identifying signs that could guide safer breathing-machine treatment.
This study tests whether a quick breath test can detect infections early in people receiving intensive treatment for certain blood cancers or bone marrow transplant patients. If it works, it could help doctors find infections faster and adjust treatment sooner.
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.
