Comparing two breathing machine settings in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are on a breathing machine (intubated)
- Your heart is stable enough that you don't need blood pressure medicine
- You need a low to moderate amount of oxygen (60% or less)
- Your breathing machine settings are at a safe, lower pressure (PEEP 8 or less)
- You are not receiving any muscle-paralyzing drugs

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 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 compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
This study looks at how changes to the breathing machine affect your feeling of shortness of breath. Your doctors want to see if small adjustments can make you more comfortable while on the ventilator.
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.
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
