Continuous vs Bolus Muscle Relaxant for Severe Lung Failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving muscle-relaxing medication to patients on breathing machines with severe lung injury. The study tests whether one approach helps patients breathe better or recover faster than the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) with controlled breathing mode
- You have moderate to severe ARDS—a serious lung condition where oxygen levels in your blood are very low
- Your lungs show signs of injury on imaging (like X-rays or CT scans)
- You meet ARDS criteria within the last 24 hours and can be enrolled quickly

This study tests a different way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) for people with lung injury (ARDS) to see if it helps them recover better. You might be able to join if you are already on a ventilator in the ICU and meet certain health conditions.
This study is testing whether different levels of muscle relaxation (called neuromuscular blockade) during breathing support can improve lung function in people with serious ARDS. It might help doctors choose the best relaxation level for patients on a breathing machine.
This trial tests whether combining two treatments—medications that relax muscles (neuromuscular blocking agents) and lying on your stomach (prone positioning)—can reduce lung damage in people with severe ARDS on a breathing machine.
This trial tests two different medicines used to reverse muscle relaxation after lung surgery. It looks at which one helps you breathe better in the first hours after your procedure.
This study compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
This study tests whether partially relaxing the breathing-related muscles can help people with severe low oxygen while they are on a breathing machine. It may improve how well the lungs work by changing the way the muscles affect breathing.
