Comparing two ventilator methods for sudden breathing failure
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing two different ways of using a breathing machine for people with sudden breathing failure. The goal is to see which method puts less stress on the lungs and might help them recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have sudden breathing failure and are already on a ventilator (breathing machine)
- You do not have a neurological disorder such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease
- You do not have a neuromuscular or muscle disease like myasthenia gravis or muscular dystrophy
- You do not have a chest wall deformity such as severe scoliosis or sunken chest
- You do not have a tracheostomy (breathing tube through a hole in your neck)
- You do not have long-term high carbon dioxide in your blood (chronic type 2 respiratory failure)

This study compares two ways of timing a breathing mask's support to match your own breaths. If you're in the ICU or ER and need help breathing for at least 2 more hours, this trial may test which method works better.
This trial tests two noninvasive breathing support methods (NIV and HVNI) for people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing. The goal is to see which method works better to help you avoid needing a breathing tube.
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 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 tests whether a special breathing exercise on the ventilator can help people with respiratory failure get stronger and come off the breathing machine sooner. It focuses on patients who are awake and stable but still need mechanical ventilation.
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.
