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.

This study looks at how the force of breathing machines affects recovery and survival in ICU patients who need a ventilator for at least 3 days. It might help doctors understand better ways to use ventilators.
This study looks at how people recover after being on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit (ICU). The researchers want to understand if social and economic factors affect recovery, which may help improve support for patients after they leave the hospital.
This study watches patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) to learn more about pneumonia that can happen from the machine. The goal is to understand how to better prevent and treat this infection.
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.
