A breathing approach for adults with severe burns
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your burns cover at least 20% of your body surface.
- You need a breathing machine within 24 hours of being in the intensive care unit.
- Your doctors think you will need the breathing machine for at least 48 hours.
- You are not pregnant and do not have other conditions that would rule you out (like severe brain injury or a terminal illness).

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.
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 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 trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
This study looks at how children breathe while on a breathing machine (ventilator) to help doctors adjust the machine better. It may help improve comfort and weaning off the ventilator.
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.
