Non-invasive ventilation in Argentine ICUs: an observational study
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or machine) is used in ICUs across Argentina. It helps doctors understand patterns of care so they can improve treatment for patients with breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a special education program about how breathing machines work can help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) feel better and recover faster. If you are on a breathing support mask (NIV), this program may teach you ways to work better with the machine.
This study tests a new type of mask and breathing machine for patients in the ICU who need non-invasive breathing support (NIV). It looks at whether this method helps you breathe better. You may be eligible if you are stable, 18 or older, and can use a mask that fits under your nose.
This study looks at how non-invasive ventilation (breathing support through a mask) is used for people with COPD who are in the intensive care unit because of a sudden flare-up. The goal is to understand current practices to improve care.
This trial collects data from adults in the ICU who need oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation, or a breathing tube with a machine. It looks at how automated settings affect care.
This survey asks healthcare workers about their use of non-invasive breathing support in patients with serious breathing problems. Your answers could help improve care for people needing this treatment.
This study is looking at ways to improve non-invasive ventilation, which is breathing support given without a breathing tube. You may be invited if you’re already receiving this kind of support and you agree to take part.
