Respiratory device education to reduce hospital readmissions
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special education program about respiratory assistive devices (like breathing machines) helps people use them correctly at home, avoid returning to the hospital, and feel more confident in their own care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently in the hospital and need a breathing device or home respiratory care after discharge.
- You (or a caregiver who can help you) are able to understand and take part in an education program.
- You are not receiving end-of-life (hospice) care with less than 1 month to live.

This study tests a wearable device that listens to your breathing at home. It may help detect early signs of a COPD flare-up so you can get care sooner. You can join if you have moderate to severe COPD and recently left the hospital for a flare-up.
This study tests a home-based program that provides education and activity guidance for people with COPD who have been hospitalized in the past year. It aims to help you understand your condition better and stay active safely.
This study tests a software program that uses machine learning to predict if you might have a COPD flare-up or get worse within 60 days after leaving the hospital. The goal is to help doctors provide better follow-up care and reduce emergency visits.
This trial tests whether a special breathing device (intrapulmonary percussive ventilation) used daily at home can help prevent hospital stays for serious breathing problems in children with multiple disabilities. It may help clear mucus and keep the lungs healthier.
