Sedation study for severe pneumonia on a ventilator
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests different ways of giving sedation to adults with severe pneumonia who are on a breathing machine in the ICU. It aims to find the best sedation approach to help them recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have severe pneumonia that requires a breathing tube and a ventilator.
- You are currently sedated (calmed with medication) while on the ventilator.

This trial tests a new way to manage sedation (medication to keep you calm and comfortable) for people on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if adjusting sedation based on your breathing effort leads to better outcomes and shorter time on the machine.
This trial tests a new system to monitor sedation in ICU patients who need a breathing tube and sedation for more than a day. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
This study looks at how different sedation practices affect outcomes in children who need a breathing machine. If your child is in the PICU and on a ventilator, this trial could help improve care.
This trial is comparing a new type of inhaled sedative (volatile sedation) to usual IV sedatives for people with ARDS who are on a ventilator in the ICU. It aims to see if it can help patients breathe better and recover more quickly.
This trial compares two different ways of giving sedatives and pain medicine to people who are on a breathing machine and have unstable blood pressure, to see which approach better keeps their heart and blood pressure stable. It will help doctors choose the safest sedation for critically ill patients.
This Phase 3 trial tests a sedation approach using inhaled (“volatile”) anesthesia gases for children who need a ventilator. It aims to improve comfort and brain-related outcomes while they stay on the breathing machine for at least a day.
