Personalized Oxygen Levels for Breathing Machine Patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether adjusting oxygen levels on a breathing machine (ventilator) to match each patient's individual needs improves outcomes. Doctors will carefully monitor your oxygen levels and see how different targets affect your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether giving a little more oxygen to ICU patients on breathing machines leads to better recovery. It compares usual oxygen levels to a more liberal target to see which is safer and more effective.
This trial tests a closed-loop system that automatically adjusts the oxygen level in your breathing tube, aiming to keep your oxygen levels in a safe range with less need for manual changes. It may help if you are in the ICU, need a breathing machine, and have low blood oxygen despite receiving extra oxygen.
This trial tests a more tailored way to set the amount of air delivered by a ventilator in people with severe ARDS. The goal is to see if personalized breathing settings can improve breathing and heart-related monitoring while patients are in intensive care.
This trial tests whether adjusting high flow oxygen therapy (which delivers warm, moist oxygen through the nose) based on a new, non-contact technology — a depth camera that measures lung volumes without touching you — can help improve breathing in people with low oxygen levels. It's for patients in respiratory distress who need oxygen but don't have chronic lung disease.
This trial tests a new way to adjust the amount of air given by the ventilator to people with a severe lung injury called ARDS. The goal is to see if a specific breathing strategy can help protect the lungs and improve recovery.
This study is testing how different settings on a breathing machine affect your breathing effort and drive. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings for patients with severe low oxygen levels.
