Breathing on a stretcher with a vacuum mattress
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests how lying on a stretcher with a vacuum mattress affects your breathing. It may help improve how patients are transported and cared for during emergencies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your weight must be between 130 and 300 pounds.
- Your waist must measure between 32 and 42 inches.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is for people with severe lung failure (ARDS) who need a breathing machine. It tests how long lying on your stomach (prone position) helps improve breathing, by measuring changes in your body's oxygen levels and other vital signs.
This trial studies how care is given to people who have a traumatic injury to the spine and need a breathing machine. It may help improve treatment and recovery for people who are ventilated after injury, including those with or without spinal cord damage.
This study compares two ways of testing if overweight or obese patients can breathe on their own after being on a ventilator. You will be randomly assigned to one of two breathing trials (pressure support or a T-piece) to see which works better for helping you get off the ventilator.
This Phase 2 study tests whether using an inflatable air bag can improve how well the lungs stretch and work for people with ARDS while they are lying face-down (prone) on a ventilator. If you qualify, the study may help determine whether this positioning support improves breathing and lung comfort.
This study examines whether the way doctors measure height in sedated patients on breathing machines affects lung protection. Researchers will compare different measurement methods to see which one helps prevent breathing-machine-related lung injury in patients with severe lung failure (ARDS).
This study tests a specific breathing machine setting for people with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The goal is to see if adjusting the machine to match the patient's lung pressure can improve oxygen and blood flow. This may help guide care for patients who are already deeply sedated and paralyzed.
