Recruitment maneuver after suctioning in ICU patients on ventilators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a breathing maneuver after suctioning helps restore lung volume in intensive care patients who are on a ventilator. It may help improve breathing and recovery.

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 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 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 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.
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 how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
