Could skipping sedation help COPD patients breathe on their own faster?
NCT ID NCT07146698
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at two ways to manage sedation in COPD patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator). One group gets no sedation at all, while the other has their sedation paused every day. The goal is to see which approach helps patients spend more days off the ventilator within the first 28 days. The study will include 60 adults with COPD who are on a ventilator in the ICU.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sedation interruption (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that reducing sedation helps COPD patients on ventilators breathe on their own sooner, shortening ICU stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all COPD patients. There is also a risk of discomfort or anxiety if sedation is reduced.
