Nutrition and diaphragm health in COPD patients on breathing machines

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseMalnutritionRespiratory FailureVentilator-Induced Diaphragmatic Dysfunction

Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.

This study looks at how nutrition and diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) health are related in older COPD patients who need a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help doctors understand how to better support breathing recovery.

  • You are 60 years old or older
  • You have COPD (a long-term lung condition often caused by smoking)
  • You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) because your COPD suddenly got worse
  • You need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours
  • You (or your family) agree to join the study

Diaphragm health during breathing machine support

This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) changes when a person is on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors understand how to better support breathing and recovery.

Ultrasound of the diaphragm to guide ventilator weaning in COPD

This study tests whether using ultrasound (sound waves) to look at your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) can help doctors decide the right time to take you off a breathing machine. If you have COPD and are on a ventilator, this could help you get off the machine sooner and more safely.

Breathing exercises to improve diaphragm strength in moderate copd

This study tests whether special breathing exercises (called inspiratory muscle training) can improve the strength and function of your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle). If you have moderate COPD, this training might help you breathe easier and feel better in your daily life.

NCT06420999Recruiting
Diaphragm weakness after breathing support in the ICU

This study looks at how common diaphragm weakness is in people who have been on breathing support in the ICU. If you are coming off that support, researchers want to learn if your diaphragm strength affects your recovery.

Diaphragm hibernation in ICU patients on breathing machines

This study looks at how the diaphragm—the main muscle you use to breathe—might 'hibernate' or weaken when you're on a breathing machine in the ICU. The goal is to understand why this happens and to find ways to prevent muscle weakness, which could help you recover faster.

Effect of breathing support on diaphragm function in stable COPD

This study tests whether using a breathing device called BiPAP helps the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) work better in people with stable COPD. If you have COPD and are about to start or already use BiPAP, this trial may show if it improves your breathing strength.
