Smart breathing machine method for severe lung injury from pneumonia
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new breathing machine method (called time-controlled adaptive ventilation) to see if it helps people with severe lung injury from pneumonia recover better than standard care. If you are already on a ventilator in the ICU, this study may help you breathe more easily while your lungs heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine (ventilator) with moderate to severe lung injury (ARDS).
- Have pneumonia with at least two symptoms like cough, mucus, chest pain, or trouble breathing.
- Symptoms started within the last week, and you've been on the ventilator for less than a day.
- No other serious lung or heart problems, like a collapsed lung or severe COPD needing home oxygen.
- Not be pregnant, breastfeeding, a minor, or under legal guardianship.

This trial tests a new way of setting the breathing machine for people with a lung condition called ARDS. It may help improve breathing and recovery compared to standard care.
This study tests a special way of using a breathing machine (ventilator) for people who are on ECMO (a machine that helps oxygenate the blood) for severe ARDS (a serious lung condition). The goal is to see if this approach helps protect the lungs and improve recovery.
This study tests a computer system that gives real-time breathing machine advice to help protect the lungs of patients with severe lung injury (ARDS). It may help doctors adjust the ventilator settings to cause less damage.
This trial tests a special breathing machine strategy that uses pressure measurements from a small tube in your esophagus (food pipe) to protect your heart's right side while treating ARDS caused by pneumonia. It may help if you have severe lung failure and need a ventilator.
This study looks at a way to set the breathing machine (ventilator) based on pressure inside the lungs (driving pressure) to try to protect the lungs better in people with ARDS. It might help reduce lung damage and improve breathing recovery.
This study looks at how different levels of positive pressure from the breathing machine affect blood flow and fluid buildup in patients with a serious lung condition called ARDS. It may help doctors find the best ventilator settings to reduce stress on your body.
