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 study looks at a new way to check how well your lungs respond to the breathing machine. It uses a simple test to measure if your lungs can open up and stay open, which may help doctors adjust your ventilation better.
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.
