Lung recruitment in ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a lung re-expansion technique for ICU patients on a ventilator who have collapsed lung tissue. It aims to improve breathing and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You have a collapsed area in your lung (atelectasis) confirmed by X-ray or doctor's exam
- You need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator)
- You do not have lung cancer (primary or spread to the lungs)

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 technique (lung recruitment) to open up collapsed areas in the lungs of people with moderate to severe ARDS. It may help improve oxygen levels.
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 trial checks if a lung test called the recruitment-to-inflation ratio gives the same result when done more than once. The test helps doctors understand how much of the lung can be opened up with more pressure from the breathing machine. This may help improve care for patients with severe lung injury.
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 tests a breathing technique (called automatic lung recruitment) during and after laparoscopic stomach or bowel surgery. It aims to reduce lung problems in older adults. You may be eligible if you are 65 or older, having keyhole digestive surgery lasting over 2 hours, and have a moderate to high risk for lung complications.
