Smart ventilation and targeted fluids may improve outcomes for severe burn victims
NCT ID NCT07689097
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a specific type of breathing support (adaptive support ventilation) combined with carefully controlled fluid replacement can help adults with severe burns who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this approach improves oxygen levels, lung function, and overall recovery during the first few days in the intensive care unit. The findings could lead to better treatment guidelines for burn patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Adaptive Support Ventilation and targeted fluid resuscitation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve breathing and reduce complications in severely burned patients in the ICU.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with a small number of patients, so results may not apply to all burn cases. The combination may not improve outcomes over standard care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will consist of adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit with severe burn injury requiring invasive mechanical ventilation during the acute phase of treatment. Patients will receive Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) and targeted fluid resuscitation as part of routine clinical care. The study will include patients with thermal, flame, scald, electrical, chemical, and combat-related burn injuries, including burns associated with drone and thermobaric attacks, when applicable. Clinical, respiratory, hemodynamic, and laboratory data will be collected prospectively during the first seven days of intensive care to evaluate respiratory function, fluid resuscitation, and early clinical outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years or older. * Hospital admission with severe burn injury involving ≥20% total body surface area (TBSA). * Requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation within 24 hours after admission to the intensive care unit. * Expected need for mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours. * Treatment with Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) and targeted fluid resuscitation according to institutional protocols. * Written informed consent provided by the patient or legally authorized representative, in accordance with local regulations. Exclusion Criteria: * Age younger than 18 years. * Burn injury involving \<20% TBSA. * Mechanical ventilation initiated more than 24 hours after ICU admission. * Pregnancy. * Pre-existing chronic dependence on invasive mechanical ventilation. * Severe traumatic brain injury requiring a specific ventilation strategy. * Terminal illness with an expected survival of less than 24 hours. * Enrollment in another interventional clinical trial that may influence study outcomes. * Inability to obtain essential clinical data required for study analysis.
