Breathing machine method study in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at how a specific type of breathing machine setting (adaptive pressure control) affects your lungs and recovery. It aims to find the best way to support breathing for people in the ICU with respiratory failure.
This study looks at how children breathe while on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help doctors adjust the machine better. It may help improve comfort and weaning off the ventilator.
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 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 trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
