NCT ID NCT07423208

First seen Feb 26, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looked at 40 ICU patients on breathing machines to see if automatically monitoring the pressure in the breathing tube could prevent pneumonia better than having nurses check it by hand. The goal was to find a more reliable way to keep the pressure in a safe range and reduce lung infections. The results help understand which method might work best for patient care.
