Safer breathing with advanced monitoring on a ventilator
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to monitor your breathing while you are on a ventilator, to make it safer. It is for people who need a ventilator for reasons other than lung failure, like after a coma, injury, or severe infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You need to be on a breathing machine (ventilator) for reasons other than lung failure (for example, coma, trauma, or severe infection)
- Monitoring must start within the first 24 hours after the breathing tube is placed
- You must not have a collapsed lung, air in the chest, or air under the skin
- You must not be pregnant
- You must not have any reason that prevents using a feeding tube or a special lung-monitoring belt

This trial tests a new way to monitor breathing for people on a ventilator during surgery or in intensive care. It aims to improve care by combining advanced monitoring methods.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing muscles in patients who need extra oxygen or breathing support, like a mask or high-flow oxygen. It may help doctors better understand how to treat respiratory failure.
This trial tests whether using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe and non-invasive monitoring technique, helps doctors set the ventilator better for patients with low oxygen levels. It may improve your breathing support during mechanical ventilation.
This trial tests a bedside breathing and lung-monitoring method that uses small electrodes on the chest. It is meant for people with moderate to severe ARDS (a serious lung inflammation problem) who are on a breathing machine, to help guide care.
This trial tests a non-invasive method to measure oxygen levels in your blood using your breath, avoiding the need for a tube in your heart. It's for adults who are on a breathing machine and whose doctors recommend a pulmonary artery catheter for monitoring.
This trial looks at monitoring people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) very early after breathing support starts, using a technology called EIT. The goal is to see whether this early monitoring can help guide care during the first critical hours.
