AeroPace system for helping people breathe after long-term ventilation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a device called AeroPace that may help your breathing muscles work better after you've been on a breathing machine for a long time. The goal is to see if it can help you breathe on your own sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 4 days.
- You have not been able to come off the breathing machine yet.
- You failed an attempt to breathe on your own (spontaneous breathing trial) within the last 48 hours.
- You do not have certain conditions like severe heart failure, severe lung scarring, or a pacemaker that could interfere with the device.

This study tests a new device that uses mild electrical pulses to strengthen the muscles used for breathing in people who are on a ventilator. It aims to help them recover faster.
This trial tests a personalized pacing device that uses ultrasound to help your diaphragm muscle work better while you are on a breathing machine. It may help you breathe on your own sooner and improve your recovery.
This trial tests a device that helps stimulate the diaphragm to improve breathing in patients who need a ventilator. It's for people with new breathing problems who have been in the ICU on a ventilator for less than 4 days.
This study looks at a new way to check if air is getting trapped in your lungs while on a ventilator, using ultrasound of your diaphragm. If it works, doctors could adjust your ventilator settings more precisely to help you breathe easier and come off the machine sooner.
This study looks at a specific way to control a breathing machine (ventilator) to help prevent weakness of the diaphragm, the main breathing muscle, in newly intubated adults. You might be considered if you are newly on a ventilator for less than 36 hours and certain other conditions are not present.
This study tests whether specific breathing exercises can help people who have been on a ventilator for a long time get stronger and be able to breathe on their own. It also checks how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) responds to this training.
