Breathing reflex study in double lung transplant patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a natural breathing reflex (the Hering-Breuer reflex) in people who have had a double lung transplant and are on a ventilator in the ICU. It compares them with other ICU patients who are on a ventilator after non-chest surgery, to see how the reflex works after a lung transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have had a double lung transplant and are in the ICU while coming off the ventilator
- You are in the ICU after a surgery that did not involve your chest and are on a ventilator
- You do not have severe bleeding risk or unstable blood pressure
- You are not pregnant

This study measures electrical activity of the diaphragm and how your breathing system works while you are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors better understand breathing during recovery after major lung events.
This study tests two types of breathing muscle training exercises in people who have had a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type helps you breathe better and improves your daily living.
This study tests a new approach during rescue lung transplant surgery where the patient breathes on their own instead of being put on a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to see if this helps patients recover faster after surgery.
This trial studies how the diaphragm (your main breathing muscle) and lung/airway tissue behave in people who are being supported until they can get a lung transplant. The results may help doctors better understand breathing failure and improve transplant care.
This trial tests a special way of breathing during lung transplant surgery for people aged 70 and older. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own during the procedure leads to a faster and smoother recovery.
This trial studies a new way to manage breathing during lung transplant surgery for people who are severely underweight. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own (instead of using a breathing machine) helps you recover faster after surgery.
