Monitoring heart and breathing to predict recovery in COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if special monitoring of your heart and lungs can help doctors predict how well you will recover. It is for people with COPD on a breathing machine for more than 48 hours due to a flare-up and who are ready to start weaning off the machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have COPD and had a sudden worsening (acute exacerbation).
- You have been on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) for more than 48 hours.
- You are showing signs that you might be ready to breathe on your own again (fulfilling weaning criteria).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have air leaks or fluid around your lungs or heart (such as pneumothorax, pleural or pericardial effusion).
- You do not have injuries, burns, or wounds that would prevent placing the monitoring electrodes on your skin.

This study looks at whether nighttime breathing problems can predict long-term success with a non-invasive breathing machine in people with COPD who have high carbon dioxide levels in their blood. The goal is to help doctors decide who will benefit most from this therapy.
This study looks at signals from non-invasive home ventilators to better track COPD. It may help understand how to manage the condition using data from your device.
This study looks at whether regular video check-ins and remote monitoring from your care team can improve your breathing and quality of life compared to the usual routine check-ups, for people with COPD who need a breathing machine at home.
This study looks at whether heart rate patterns can help predict if a person on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
This study compares two methods of measuring whether patients with COPD who are on breathing machines are ready to breathe on their own. The goal is to find the best way to predict which patients can successfully come off the ventilator.
This study looks at whether a measurement called 'mechanical power' can help doctors predict when someone with COPD on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own again. If you are a COPD patient in the ICU and your doctor thinks you might be ready to come off the ventilator, this research could help improve how that decision is made.
