Guided breathing machine settings for weaning off ventilation
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of adjusting the breathing machine to help patients come off it more smoothly. It uses a special measurement (airway occlusion pressure) to guide settings, which may help you breathe on your own faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and have started to breathe more on your own for at least 24 hours
- Your blood pressure is stable (not needing extra medication to keep it up)
- You are awake and calm (not deeply sedated)

This trial tests whether certain physical therapy exercises for the arms and chest can help patients get off a breathing machine (ventilator) faster. It compares two different exercises and a breathing-machine setting to see which works best.
This study tests two different ways of adjusting the breathing machine (ventilator) to help intensive care patients start breathing more on their own. The goal is to find the better approach to reduce time on the ventilator and improve recovery.
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor how hard your breathing muscles are working while the ventilator support is being reduced. It aims to help doctors wean you off the ventilator more smoothly and safely.
This study tests a personalized approach to help people with chronic heart or lung conditions come off a breathing machine (ventilator) more safely and successfully. The approach uses your specific health profile to guide when and how to remove the ventilator.
This trial is testing a new way to adjust the pressure support (the extra help you get when breathing on the ventilator) based on your own breathing effort. It aims to make weaning off the ventilator safer and more effective for people who need it for more than 48 hours.
