Comparing two ventilation methods for burn patients
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a newer type of breathing machine support helps burn patients recover better than the standard method. It aims to improve breathing care during the time patients need a ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Weigh at least 40 kg (about 88 pounds)
- Need a breathing machine for more than 24 hours (or will soon need one)
- Have a central line (IV in a large vein) and blood pressure monitor as part of your care
- Not have been on a breathing machine for more than 24 hours before coming to the burn ICU

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 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 tests a way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) that automatically adjusts to how much you need it. If you have a severe burn covering at least 20% of your body and need a breathing tube for over a day, this could help your lungs heal more safely.
This study looks at whether a special breathing machine setting (called Adaptive Support Ventilation) combined with closely managed IV fluids can improve recovery for adults with severe burns. If you join, the care you get will aim to help your lungs and body heal more effectively.
This study tests two different ways of adjusting the breathing machine (ventilator) to help intensive care patients start breathing more on their own. The goal is to find the better approach to reduce time on the ventilator and improve recovery.
This study compares two breathing support methods—noninvasive ventilation (a mask that helps you breathe) and high-flow oxygen (warm, moist oxygen through a tube in your nose)—to see which works better for people with sudden worsening of interstitial lung disease. If you are in the ICU and need extra oxygen, this trial may help guide your treatment.
