Ventilation support after severe burn injury
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) that automatically adjusts to how much you need it. If you have a severe burn covering at least 20% of your body and need a breathing tube for over a day, this could help your lungs heal more safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a thermal burn (from fire, explosion, or similar) covering at least 20% of your body.
- You need a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 24 hours.
- You are admitted to a participating ICU within 48 hours of your injury.
- You (or a legal representative) can give written consent.
- You are not pregnant, do not have severe chronic lung disease, and are not expected to pass away within the first day in the ICU.

This study looks at whether a special breathing machine setting (called Adaptive Support Ventilation) combined with closely managed IV fluids can improve recovery for adults with severe burns. If you join, the care you get will aim to help your lungs and body heal more effectively.
This trial tests two ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. One method is more gentle on the lungs, and the goal is to see if it helps patients recover faster.
This trial tests whether a more lenient approach to lung-protective ventilation can improve outcomes for patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit. It aims to find a balance that is safer for the lungs while still being effective.
This study tests a breathing exercise program to help people with burn injuries on the face and chest recover their breathing strength. If you have had a moderate to severe burn, this training may help you breathe better.
This study looks at how the force of breathing machines affects recovery and survival in ICU patients who need a ventilator for at least 3 days. It might help doctors understand better ways to use ventilators.
This study tests whether a newer type of breathing machine support helps burn patients recover better than the standard method. It aims to improve breathing care during the time patients need a ventilator.
