Long-term ventilation and inflammation study
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how long-term inflammation affects the breathing of people who have been on a ventilator for 10 days or more. It aims to help doctors better understand and support your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 10 days straight.
- Your vital signs must be stable (blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate in a safe range).
- The oxygen level from the ventilator must be 60% or less.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You must be willing to try breathing without the ventilator (weaning).
- You must be able to make some effort to breathe on your own.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well air moves through the lungs and how blood flows in different types of patients who have been on a breathing machine for a long time. It may help clinicians better understand these patterns during “weaning” (trying to come off the machine), which could improve care plans.
This study looks at different types of lung infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. By analyzing fluid from your lungs, researchers hope to better understand pneumonia and improve treatment.
This study looks at immune cells in the lungs of people on breathing machines. It aims to understand how these cells change in patients who develop pneumonia while on the ventilator.
This study watches how patients in the intensive care unit are helped to move and strengthen their muscles (rehabilitation) during their stay. It does not give any new treatment or medicine, but simply documents what usual care looks like for people who need a breathing tube for more than two days.
This study asks ICU doctors, nurses, or other providers to give their best guess about what will happen to a patient who has been on a breathing machine for two weeks. The goal is to learn how healthcare teams think about recovery.
This study looks at patients who are in the ICU, on a breathing machine, and have a long-term health condition. It aims to use digital tools to better understand these high-risk patients and improve their care.
