Better breathing machine settings for lung protection
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a new way to set the breathing machine for patients on ventilators to help protect their lungs. The goal is to give the right amount of air with each breath, which may help people recover better and avoid lung damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) while in the hospital.
- You must not need a special heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO) before coming to the intensive care unit.
- You must not have a 'Do Not Intubate' order, meaning you have agreed to have a breathing tube if needed.

This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
This study looks at how a specific type of breathing machine setting (adaptive pressure control) affects your lungs and recovery. It aims to find the best way to support breathing for people in the ICU with respiratory failure.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This study looks at a specific way to control a breathing machine (ventilator) to help prevent weakness of the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, in newly intubated adults. You might be considered if you are newly on a ventilator for less than 36 hours and certain other conditions are not present.
This trial tests whether a more lenient approach to lung-protective ventilation can improve outcomes for patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a balance that is safer for the lungs while still being effective.
