Lung opening technique for ICU patients with collapsed lungs
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a method called 'lung recruitment' to help open up collapsed lung areas in people on breathing machines in the ICU. It may help your lungs work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be in an intensive care unit (ICU).
- You must have a lung area that has collapsed (atelectasis), seen on X-ray or diagnosed by a doctor.
- You need to be on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- You cannot have lung cancer.

This trial compares two methods of opening the lungs (recruitment maneuvers) after heart-lung bypass to see which works better. The study aims to help patients recover their lung function more quickly after cardiac surgery.
This study tests a method to open up the lungs after surgery to help prevent breathing problems. It is for older adults having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery that lasts more than 2 hours.
This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
This study is testing whether a breathing maneuver after suctioning helps restore lung volume in intensive care patients who are on a ventilator. It may help improve breathing and recovery.
This study tests a special breathing maneuver (ultrasound-guided lung recruitment) during surgery to see if it helps prevent small areas of lung collapse in children. It may help kids with longer surgeries keep their lungs open and working better afterward.
This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
