New software aims to cut ventilator complications in ICUs
NCT ID NCT06737432
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a software tool called the Respiratory Knowledge Portal (RKP) can help ICU teams reduce complications in patients on breathing machines. Researchers will collect data from 875 patients to see if the tool improves how alarms are set, helps wean patients off the ventilator faster, and lowers the rate of ventilator-associated events. The goal is to make care safer and more efficient.
