VentilO study for heart surgery patients on ventilators
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing in patients who are on a ventilator right after heart surgery. It may help doctors adjust settings more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are admitted to the intensive care unit right after heart surgery with a breathing tube (intubated)
- The ventilator is set to fully control your breaths (Assist Control or SIMV mode)
- Your height and weight are recorded in your medical file
- You are not breathing mostly on your own or already without the breathing tube when you arrive in intensive care

This trial tests a new way to monitor breathing for people on a ventilator during surgery or in intensive care. It aims to improve care by combining advanced monitoring 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 trial reviews breathing settings used during surgery on one lung to see if a specific tool can help prevent breathing problems.
This trial tests a new way to help patients breathe after heart surgery. It compares standard breathing support with a new device that might help you recover faster in the ICU.
This trial tests a way to deliver lung-protective ventilation (a method that uses low air volumes to avoid lung injury) to adults on breathing machines. It aims to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a non-invasive method to measure oxygen levels in your blood using your breath, avoiding the need for a tube in your heart. It's for adults who are on a breathing machine and whose doctors recommend a pulmonary artery catheter for monitoring.
