Airway suction guidance in ventilated patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses dynamic airway resistance and machine learning to guide when sputum suction is needed in ventilated patients with ARDS, AECOPD, or severe pneumonia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator)
- You have been diagnosed with ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), AECOPD (a sudden worsening of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), or severe pneumonia
- You do not have multiple organ failure
- You do not have bleeding in multiple organs

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special method of managing the cuff of the breathing tube and suctioning below the vocal cords to prevent lung infections (pneumonia) in people who need a breathing machine for a long time. It may help reduce the risk of getting a serious lung infection while in the hospital.
This study looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
This study tests whether a customized breathing machine approach ("precision ventilation") is better than usual care for patients with ARDS. The goal is to improve oxygen levels and recovery while avoiding lung damage.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
This trial looks at how much breathing effort changes when the ventilator uses a higher pressure in people who are recovering from ARDS. The goal is to predict who will respond better so care can be adjusted more safely and effectively.
