Reducing mental strain for ICU doctors using a visual aid
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a real-time visual tool helps doctors who manage ventilators feel less mentally stressed and make faster decisions. If you are a doctor who regularly works with ventilators, you may be able to participate in two simulation sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a licensed doctor currently working in an ICU, neuro-intensive care unit, or respiratory department.
- If you are early in your career, you must be in residency training or in your first two years of a fellowship. If you are senior, you need more than 5 years of experience in intensive care medicine.
- You should be comfortable using standard mechanical ventilators like Hamilton, Dräger, or Puritan Bennett.
- You must be willing to take part in two simulation sessions that are 14 days apart.
- You must not have had formal training or significant experience with the ASL 5000/RespiSim 'Digital Twin' or Aurora interface.
- You must be able to operate a ventilator and view a monitor, and you must agree to be video recorded during the simulation for research purposes.

This study looks at how changes to the breathing machine affect your feeling of shortness of breath. Your doctors want to see if small adjustments can make you more comfortable while on the ventilator.
This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at how doctors, nurses, and other healthcare team members talk with patients and their families in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to improve understanding and support for everyone involved.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This study tests whether special glasses that display writing can help ICU patients who can't speak (due to a breathing tube, throat surgery, or other reasons) communicate better with their care team and family.
This study tests a computer system that gives real-time breathing machine advice to help protect the lungs of patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors adjust the ventilator settings to cause less damage.
