First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how changing body position with an automatic bed affects breathing effort and lung function in 30 critically ill adults on ventilators. Researchers will measure muscle activity and lung images to see which positions help patients breathe better. The goal is to find safer ways to care for ICU patients without any direct treatment or cure.
