Breathing machine damage: scientists probe hidden cell harm in lungs

NCT ID NCT03955887

Summary

This study aimed to understand how mechanical ventilators (breathing machines) might damage the energy-producing parts of immune cells in the lungs of patients with severe pneumonia and breathing failure. Researchers planned to compare cells from 28 patients on ventilators with those from patients not on ventilators. The goal was to gather knowledge to potentially guide future treatments, not to test a treatment itself.
