Breathing support decisions for ICU patients on ventilators
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors decide about breathing support for patients on ventilators in the ICU. It uses a computer model to help make these decisions, and the goal is to improve care for people who need breathing help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) while in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You must have been on the ventilator for at least 24 hours.
- You must not be receiving ECMO (a machine that helps your heart and lungs work).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing an existing model (BREF) to see how well it helps doctors make decisions for patients on high-flow oxygen in the intensive care unit. It may help improve care for people needing extra breathing support.
This study is looking at ways to improve non-invasive ventilation, which is breathing support given without a breathing tube. You may be invited if you’re already receiving this kind of support and you agree to take part.
This study looks at why some patients with acute respiratory failure do not improve with non-invasive breathing support like high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). It aims to find patterns that might predict when these treatments are not enough.
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 study looks at how different settings on the breathing machine (ventilator) are used for critically ill adults in the ICU. It may help doctors improve care for people who need a breathing tube.
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.
