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.
Who can take part
- You must be on a breathing machine with a tube in your windpipe (either through the mouth or a hole in the neck).
- You must be in a participating adult intensive care unit (ICU).
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You cannot be a prisoner.
- You cannot have been using a breathing machine at home before coming to the hospital.
- You cannot be on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECMO) right now.

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 trial studies how small changes to a breathing machine can affect how short of breath you feel. If you are in the ICU and awake, you may be able to help doctors learn how to make ventilator settings more comfortable.
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.
This study looks at a specific breathing pattern in very sick patients on a ventilator. Researchers want to find the best way to treat this pattern, which may help you breathe better and recover faster.
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
