Airway Pressure Study in Breathing-Tube Patients
This study measures pressure needed to open airways in patients on breathing machines in the ICU. Understanding this pressure may help doctors manage ventilation more safely and effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be admitted to one of the participating ICU hospitals
- You must have a breathing tube in your airway and be on a ventilator in controlled mode (not partially breathing on your own)
- Your exact time of intubation (when the breathing tube was placed) must be documented in your medical record
- You cannot be pregnant or breast-feeding
- You must be able or have a family member able to consent to data collection

This study asks healthcare professionals about their experiences and practices when removing patients from mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) in intensive care units. Your insights help improve how doctors and nurses safely manage this critical care procedure.
This trial looks at whether the small airways in the lungs close in people who are on a breathing machine (ventilator). It may help doctors understand how to better manage breathing for patients who are sedated and stable.
This study tests a simple way to measure the pressure needed to open the airways in children on a breathing machine. It may help doctors provide better breathing support for your child in the intensive care unit.
This study tests if careful management of the pressure in the breathing tube's cuff and regular cleaning below the vocal cords can help prevent lung infections in people who need a breathing machine for a long time. It might help if you're at risk for stomach contents or saliva going into your lungs.
This study is for people who are on a breathing machine and will be for at least another day. It checks the pressure in the tube in your windpipe to help prevent problems.
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
