Comparing two breathing machine settings for weaning
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ways of adjusting a ventilator to help patients get off the breathing machine. It aims to find which method works better for people in the ICU who are ready to start the weaning process.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on a breathing machine in the ICU because your lungs aren't working well on their own.
- Your oxygen levels are low enough that the doctor has started a special type of breathing support.
- The doctor expects you will need the breathing machine for more than 24 hours.
- Your doctor thinks you are ready to start the process of coming off the breathing machine.

This study compares two types of breathing support for people on ventilators in the ICU. It looks at how each method affects the body's natural control systems (like heart rate) and may help find a better way to support breathing.
This trial tests a non-drug breathing technique to help people who are having trouble coming off the breathing machine in the ICU. If you have needed a ventilator for more than a day and have already failed a breathing trial, this study may be for you.
This study looks at people on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours who are starting a “spontaneous breathing trial,” a test used to see if they can breathe on their own. It focuses on those at higher risk of “weaning-induced pulmonary edema,” meaning fluid can collect in the lungs during the weaning process.
This study tests a special breathing therapy for intensive care patients who are having trouble coming off the ventilator. If you have weak muscles or a weak cough, the therapy aims to strengthen your breathing so you can recover faster.
This trial compares two ways of adjusting the breathing machine to help patients come off it more smoothly. It uses a special measurement (airway occlusion pressure) to guide settings, which may help you breathe on your own faster.
This trial compares two bedside methods (ultrasound of the diaphragm and a quick breathing test) to see which better predicts if a patient on a breathing machine can safely breathe on their own. It is for adults in the ICU who are ready to try weaning from the ventilator.
