Monitoring heart and breathing to predict recovery in COPD patients on ventilators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether monitoring heart and breathing signals can help predict how well COPD patients on a breathing machine will recover. It aims to find better ways to guide treatment and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
- You must be on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours due to a sudden worsening of your COPD.
- You must be ready to start the process of coming off the breathing machine (weaning).
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must not have conditions like a collapsed lung (pneumothorax), fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion), or fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion).
- You must not have injuries, burns, or wounds that would prevent placing the monitoring electrodes on your skin.

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 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 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 tests a prediction tool called CLEAR to help doctors know when patients with severe COPD lung disease are ready to stop using breathing machines (ventilators) in the ICU. The tool may help doctors make faster, safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor how hard your breathing muscles are working while the ventilator support is being reduced. It aims to help doctors wean you off the ventilator more smoothly and safely.
