Detecting breathing difficulty in ventilated patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a computer system can automatically detect when a patient on a breathing machine (ventilator) is having trouble breathing. It may help doctors respond faster to the patient's needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a breathing tube in your windpipe (endotracheal tube) placed in the last 24 hours.
- You are expected to need the breathing machine for at least another 24 hours.

This study looks at how the effort patients make to breathe relates to feelings of breathlessness while they are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors better manage breathing support to reduce discomfort.
This study looks at how changes to the breathing machine affect your feeling of shortness of breath. Your doctors want to see if small adjustments can make you more comfortable while on the ventilator.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the strength of your breathing muscles when the doctors are trying to take you off the breathing machine. Measuring how well your diaphragm and rib muscles work can help predict whether you'll be able to breathe on your own.
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.
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.
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.
