Better breathing with non-invasive ventilation education in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a teaching program to help ICU patients use a breathing machine called non-invasive ventilation (NIV) more comfortably and effectively. The goal is to improve comfort and cooperation during treatment.

This study looks at how non-invasive breathing support (like a mask or machine) is used in ICUs across Argentina. It helps doctors understand patterns of care so they can improve treatment for patients with breathing problems.
This study tests a training program for ICU nurses that includes case discussions to improve their skills and teamwork with doctors. The goal is to see if this training leads to better outcomes for patients on breathing machines.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This study looks at how well your breathing matches the ventilator when using certain home ventilation machines. It aims to improve how these devices help people with breathing problems.
This study tests a new type of breathing mask that helps your lungs take in more air by clearing stale air from the mask. If you are already in the ICU using a breathing mask, this could make your breathing support more effective.
This trial compares two non-invasive breathing treatments—one that pushes air in, and one that helps you breathe out—to see which one helps people with COPD recover faster during a flare-up.
