Comparing two ventilator methods for burn patients
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ways to help burn patients breathe through a ventilator. It compares a standard approach (BiPAP) with a newer method (flow-controlled ventilation) to see which one works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg)
- Have been on a breathing machine for less than 24 hours before coming to the burn ICU, or need to be put on a breathing machine within 48 hours of arriving
- Expected to need the breathing machine for at least another 24 hours
- Start the study treatment within 48 hours of arriving at the burn ICU
- Have a central line and blood pressure monitor in place as part of routine care
- Sign a consent form (or have a legal guardian or doctor sign for you)

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 compares two different ways of delivering breaths from a ventilator for people with severe asthma or COPD. The goal is to see which method might be better for your lungs.
This trial tests a specific breathing machine mode and fluid management plan for adults with severe burns on at least 20% of their body. It aims to see if this approach helps recovery while on a ventilator.
This study compares two ways to help patients breathe on their own during a spontaneous breathing trial (a test to see if they can come off the ventilator). It aims to find which method works better for adults in the ICU.
This trial tests a special ventilator mode called Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) to see if it helps adults with severe burns breathe better and recover faster. It is for patients who need a breathing machine for more than 24 hours after a serious burn.
This trial tests a way to deliver lung-protective ventilation (a method that uses low air volumes to avoid lung injury) to adults on breathing machines. It aims to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
