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 study tests two different types of breathing exercises to help people who are on a breathing machine get off it faster. The goal is to see which method works best and is safest.
This trial tests two different ways of adjusting a ventilator to help patients get off the breathing machine. It aims to find which method works better for people in the ICU who are ready to start the weaning process.
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 trial tests a non-drug breathing technique to help people who are having trouble coming off the breathing machine in the ICU. If you have needed a ventilator for more than a day and have already failed a breathing trial, this study may be for you.
This trial looks at a breathing-support setting that may reduce the effort of your breathing muscles while you’re coming off a ventilator. It’s meant for people who have been on a breathing machine for more than 24 hours during the “weaning” phase.
This study tests whether using warm, moist oxygen through a special mask (high-flow oxygen) makes it easier for people to breathe while they are being weaned off a breathing machine in the ICU.
