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 at how the force of breathing machines affects recovery and survival in ICU patients who need a ventilator for at least 3 days. It might help doctors understand better ways to use ventilators.
This trial reviews breathing settings used during surgery on one lung to see if a specific tool can help prevent breathing problems.
This study looks at how acid-base balance (the body's pH level) and breathing machine settings affect people in cardiogenic shock or after cardiac arrest. It compares current practices with a computer program called VentilO to see if it can suggest better ventilator settings.
This study looks at how the right side of the heart and blood acid levels (a measure of breathing health) are affected after heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand and improve care for people having heart surgery.
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.
