Comparing two breathing support settings on calorie use in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two different ways of helping you breathe with a ventilator to see which one affects how many calories your body uses. The results may help doctors better match nutrition and breathing support for people in intensive care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit.
- You are receiving continuous nutrition through a feeding tube.
- Your blood pressure is stable without needing high doses of pressure medications.
- You are not on ECMO or dialysis, and you do not have certain lung conditions.

This study looks at whether different breathing machine pressure settings change how many calories ICU patients burn. By measuring this, doctors hope to give better nutrition to help patients recover.
This study tests whether a non-invasive breathing device can accurately track changes in blood bicarbonate (a chemical that helps keep your blood from becoming too acidic or too alkaline) in critically ill patients on a ventilator. It may help reduce the need for frequent blood draws in the future.
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 measures the energy your baby uses while in the intensive care unit using a special technique called indirect calorimetry. The goal is to help doctors give the right nutrition to the tiniest patients and improve their care.
This study compares different ways to support breathing in patients who need a ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit. It aims to find the best approach for people with certain heart conditions, like cardiogenic shock or heart failure.
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.
