Ventilator modes and stomach tube tolerance in ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how different ventilator settings affect pressure in the belly and how well patients tolerate a feeding tube. It may help doctors choose the best ventilator mode for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) in the intensive care unit (ICU) and need a breathing machine (ventilator).
- You do not have a chest or belly injury.
- You do not have a belly condition like a blockage or infection.
- You have not received a large amount of blood or IV fluids in the last 24 hours.
- You do not have sepsis, liver disease, or kidney problems.
- You can lie flat on your back, and you are not severely overweight (body mass index below 30).

This study tests how doctors adjust breathing machines during abdominal surgery to reduce lung injury. Researchers will compare different ventilator settings in patients having surgery that lasts at least 2 hours.
This study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
This study compares two different ways of delivering breaths from a ventilator for people with severe asthma or COPD. The goal is to see which method might be better for your lungs.
This trial compares two different ways a breathing machine can help you breathe. It uses a special imaging technique to see which method works better for patients in the intensive care unit.
This study looks at a specific breathing pattern in very sick patients on a ventilator. Researchers want to find the best way to treat this pattern, which may help you breathe better and recover faster.
This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
