Hospital ventilator orders get a brain boost to prevent lung damage
NCT ID NCT06895148
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a redesigned electronic health record order for ventilators that automatically calculates the right air volume based on a patient's height, aiming to reduce lung injury. About 1,125 adults on breathing machines across 10 hospitals will be included. The goal is to see if the new order helps doctors consistently deliver safer, lung-protective ventilation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- new ventilator order (electronic health record intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could become a standard way to improve lung-protective ventilation across hospitals, reducing lung injury in patients on breathing machines.
- What could go wrong
- The trial tests a process change, not a drug, so its impact may be modest. Results depend on how well hospitals adopt the new order, and benefits may vary by setting.
