Defining Standards for How Patients Work With Ventilators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study brings together world experts to agree on common language and definitions for how patients interact with breathing machines. If you're an experienced clinician or researcher in this field, your input could help standardize care globally.

This study tests a teaching program to help ICU patients use a breathing machine called non-invasive ventilation (NIV) more comfortably and effectively. The goal is to improve comfort and cooperation during treatment.
This study looks at recordings from patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the hospital to understand when the machine and patient's breathing don't sync up, and whether this affects how well patients do. Researchers will review your medical records and machine data that were already collected during your hospital stay.
This study looks at how well your breathing matches the ventilator when using certain home ventilation machines. It aims to improve how these devices help people with breathing problems.
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.
This study tests two different ways of adjusting the breathing machine (ventilator) to help intensive care patients start breathing more on their own. The goal is to find the better approach to reduce time on the ventilator and improve recovery.
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.
