Aspiration care bundle to prevent pneumonia in ventilated patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special care routine to prevent lung infections (pneumonia) in patients on breathing machines. It may help reduce the risk of getting a ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator)
- You have a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8 or higher (meaning you are not in a deep coma)
- You have been in the ICU for at least 24 hours
- You have not had pneumonia before or within the first 24 hours of being on the ventilator

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new oral care routine to improve mouth hygiene for patients on ventilators in the ICU. Better oral care might help prevent infections and improve recovery.
This trial tests a treatment that uses special viruses (called phages) to kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria causing pneumonia in people on ventilators. If you're eligible, this new approach might help fight the infection when standard antibiotics aren't working well.
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 trial tests a special method of managing the cuff of the breathing tube and suctioning below the vocal cords to prevent lung infections (pneumonia) in people who need a breathing machine for a long time. It may help reduce the risk of getting a serious lung infection while in the hospital.
This study tests a set of early therapies (a 'bundle') for children on breathing machines to help them get off the machine sooner and avoid long-term dependence. It may be a good fit if your child is stable and doesn't have severe brain or spine problems.
