Summary

This study is testing a new method to help patients with severe lung failure who are on breathing machines. Researchers want to see if carefully adjusting a muscle-relaxing medication can help these patients breathe more safely on their own. The trial will check if this approach is safe and practical for about 23 critically ill patients.
