Mucus stiffness in ventilated ICU patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how sticky or stretchy the mucus is in the lungs of patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator). The goal is to learn more about mucus properties, which could help improve breathing treatments in the future.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two chest therapy methods to help clear mucus in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. If you have a lot of mucus and are on a ventilator, this study may test which technique works better.
This trial tests if a special machine (mechanical insufflation-exsufflation) can help remove thick mucus from the lungs of patients who are on a breathing tube and ventilator. The goal is to see if optimized settings clear more mucus than standard care.
This study measures how thick and stretchy (elastic) lung mucus is. It may help researchers better understand mucus in people with obstructive lung breathing problems.
This study tests two breathing treatments—ventilator hyperinflation and chest vibration—to see which works better for clearing mucus and improving lung function in people who have been on a breathing machine for 2 to 7 days.
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 trial tests a breathing tube with a special drain to remove fluid from above the cuff, combined with a device that monitors cuff pressure. The goal is to prevent bacteria from leaking past the tube into the lungs, which can cause serious infections in ICU patients.
