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.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the ICU and need non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or machine) for breathing problems or to help wean off a breathing tube.
- This breathing support is for sudden breathing trouble, as part of end-of-life care, or to increase the amount of help you get.
- You or your legal representative has signed a consent form.

This study tests a teaching program to help ICU patients use a breathing machine called non-invasive ventilation (NIV) more comfortably and effectively. The goal is to improve comfort and cooperation during treatment.
This study tests a new type of breathing mask that helps your lungs take in more air by clearing stale air from the mask. If you are already in the ICU using a breathing mask, this could make your breathing support more effective.
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.
This trial tests whether starting non-invasive ventilation (breathing support) early in ALS helps people breathe easier and live better. If you've been diagnosed with ALS in the last 6 months and haven't used a breathing machine before, you may qualify.
