Using lung images to ease mental strain and speed diagnosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether seeing real-time lung visuals on a screen can help doctors feel less mental strain and make faster, more accurate diagnoses while using a ventilator. Participating doctors will practice in two realistic simulation sessions about two weeks apart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a licensed doctor currently working in an ICU, neuro-ICU, or respiratory ward.
- If you are a junior doctor, you are in a residency program or in your first 2 years of a specialty fellowship. If you are a senior doctor, you have over 5 years of intensive care experience.
- You already know how to use common mechanical ventilators like Hamilton, Dräger, or Puritan Bennett.
- You are willing to take part in two simulation sessions, held 14 days apart.
- You have not had formal training or significant experience with the ASL 5000 or RespiSim 'Digital Twin' or Aurora interface.
- You can physically operate a ventilator and view a digital monitor, and you agree to be video recorded for study purposes.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how small changes to a breathing machine can affect how short of breath you feel. If you are in the ICU and awake, you may be able to help doctors learn how to make ventilator settings more comfortable.
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 trial checks whether a tool (called PMIvent) can safely and accurately track how hard you are breathing while you are on a ventilator set to “pressure support.” If it works well, it may help clinicians better understand breathing effort during this common type of ventilator care.
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.
This trial tests whether a training tool that uses CT scans to create digital copies of patients (digital twins) can help new doctors learn bronchoscopy faster. It may help trainees become skilled more quickly, which could lead to safer procedures for patients.
This trial tests whether using a virtual reality headset can help reduce shortness of breath (dyspnea) while patients in the ICU are being taken off a breathing machine. If you are ready to start the weaning process, you may be able to participate.
