Immune cells in the lungs of ventilated patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at immune cells in the lungs of people on breathing machines. It aims to understand how these cells change in patients who develop pneumonia while on the ventilator.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation).
- Your doctors expect you to need the breathing machine for at least 5 days.
- You were not admitted to the hospital for pneumonia.
- You do not have acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung injury.
- You do not have a very low white blood cell count (aplasia).

This study measures lung pressures and breathing mechanics during planned or emergency breathing machine (ventilator) treatment. It may help doctors better understand lung behavior in both healthy and breathing-distressed lungs to improve care.
This trial tests whether giving probiotics to patients on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) can help prevent pneumonia. It is for adults who are on a ventilator after a recent head injury, stroke, or brain bleed.
This trial tests an “antibiotic stewardship” approach—choosing and adjusting antibiotics in a smarter way—for a first episode of pneumonia in patients on a breathing machine. It may help ensure the right antibiotics are used at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary or overly broad treatment.
This study looks at different types of lung infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. By analyzing fluid from your lungs, researchers hope to better understand pneumonia and improve treatment.
This study looks at how the immune system reacts in ICU patients on a ventilator who have pneumonia. By measuring immune markers, the researchers hope to better understand and predict complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia.
This study looks at how the immune system changes in older patients on breathing machines in the ICU, and whether these changes affect the risk of developing pneumonia. Understanding this may help doctors better protect critically ill patients from infection.
