Study on airway closure in ventilated patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how often the small airways in the lungs close in people who are on a breathing machine. It may help doctors understand and improve care for patients who need help breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for about 2 to 3 days.
- Your blood pressure is stable, with or without medication to support it.
- You are not actively trying to breathe on your own (no extra breathing effort).

This study looks at the pressure needed to open the airways in patients on a breathing machine. By measuring this, doctors hope to better understand and improve breathing support.
This study tests a bronchoscopy-based procedure to clear mucus from the airways of patients on breathing machines who have collapsed lung areas (atelectasis). It aims to improve lung function and help patients recover.
This trial looks at a part of breathing machines called 'dead space' in adults having planned surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to learn more about how the lungs work during controlled breathing.
This study tests a simple way to measure the pressure needed to open the airways in children on a breathing machine. It may help doctors provide better breathing support for your child in the intensive care unit.
This study tests two methods to prevent tiny amounts of fluid from leaking into the lungs while on a breathing machine. It aims to reduce the risk of pneumonia in intensive care patients.
This study looks at lung-related problems that can happen when someone is on a breathing machine after surviving a cardiac arrest. If you qualify, researchers will track your recovery to better understand how to prevent these complications.
