Gentle breathing support in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
