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 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 way of using a ventilator (TCAV) versus standard care for people with moderate-to-severe lung failure caused by community-acquired pneumonia. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
This trial tests a new way to adjust the amount of air given by the ventilator to people with a severe lung injury called ARDS. The goal is to see if a specific breathing strategy can help protect the lungs and improve 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.
This trial tests whether using an ultrasound to guide a special suction tube in the throat can help prevent lung infections in patients who need a breathing machine. It may help doctors decide when and how to suction more safely.
This study looks at starting a specific type of breathing machine setting early in people with ARDS (a serious lung problem) to see if it improves outcomes. You might be able to take part if you are within 48 hours of needing a breathing tube and meet the lung oxygen criteria.
