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.

- 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 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 study tests a new way of doing lung transplant surgery where you stay breathing on your own during the operation instead of using a breathing tube. The goal is to help you recover faster in the hospital after the transplant.
This trial is testing a new way of managing breathing during lung transplant surgery in patients who are very ill and need an urgent transplant. The goal is to see if keeping you breathing on your own (instead of using a breathing tube) can help you recover better after surgery.
This trial looks at a common breathing technique used during lung surgery. It tests whether a specific way of re-expanding the collapsed lung after surgery improves your recovery. If you're having keyhole surgery to remove part of a lung, this study may help you breathe better afterwards.
