RESPIRATORY FAILURE

This study is testing whether using a special pressure sensor in the food pipe can help doctors set ventilator machines more precisely for obese patients with severe breathing failure. It will involve 30 patients who are on breathing machines, comparing personalized settings to s…

This study is testing if a computer system that gives doctors real-time feedback can help them better protect the lungs of critically ill patients on breathing machines. It will compare the new alert system to standard ICU care in over 200 patients with severe breathing problems.…

This study is testing if a new type of breathing support, which uses a gentle chest shell, works as well as the standard mask method for ICU patients at high risk of needing the breathing tube put back in. It will involve 50 patients who are ready to come off the main ventilator …

This study tests whether using a special bedside imaging tool to guide breathing therapy helps critically ill adults get off mechanical ventilators faster. It will compare the new guided approach to standard therapy in 200 patients who have been on a ventilator for at least 21 da…

This study aims to find the best way to help patients in intensive care who are on breathing machines (ventilators) due to respiratory failure. It will compare two different training methods that use the ventilator itself to strengthen the patient's breathing muscles. The goal is…

This large study aims to determine whether the specific setting used on breathing machines (ventilators) affects how quickly critically ill patients recover and survive. Researchers will test three different ventilator modes across multiple hospital intensive care units, involvin…

This study is testing whether freezing the nerves around broken ribs (a procedure called cryoablation) helps reduce pain and improve breathing better than standard pain treatments. Researchers will compare the two approaches in 30 adults with multiple painful rib fractures. The g…

This study is testing a new, improved mask for non-invasive breathing support. Researchers want to see if this new mask helps people breathe more slowly and comfortably compared to their usual mask. About 60 adults who already use a breathing mask for respiratory failure will try…

This study looks back at the medical records of 50 ICU patients with severe breathing failure. Researchers want to see if a chest CT scan, which is risky and complex for very sick patients, finds important information that a simpler chest X-ray misses. The goal is to understand i…

This study aims to understand how emergency resuscitation rooms work in France and whether patients admitted directly to these rooms have different outcomes than those who wait in the regular emergency department first. Researchers will observe 1,200 critically ill adult patients…

This study aims to understand how different pressure settings on a breathing machine affect the lungs and breathing muscles of patients in the intensive care unit. Researchers will test three pressure levels on 25 patients who are on a specific type of ventilator support. The goa…
