First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a computer-guided breathing machine (ventilator) protocol can help patients with serious brain injuries. The goal is to use low air volumes to protect the lungs while keeping carbon dioxide levels normal to protect the brain. About 728 adults on ventilators will be observed to see if this standard-of-care approach improves outcomes.
