Smart ventilator tested to help heavy patients breathe easier
NCT ID NCT04131660
Summary
This study tested two different settings on non-invasive breathing machines for patients hospitalized with acute, severe breathing failure. It focused on patients with obesity (BMI ≥ 30) who are at risk for sleep apnea or poor breathing while asleep. Researchers compared a standard machine setting to a newer 'smart' setting designed to automatically adjust pressure to maintain a target breath volume and help keep airways open.
