Summary

This study looks at whether the type of breathing machine setting used in the ICU affects how well patients recover. Over 4,700 critically ill adults on ventilators will take part across multiple hospitals. Researchers will switch the entire ICU's ventilator mode every two months to compare volume control, pressure control, and adaptive pressure control. The main goal is to see which mode gives patients more days alive and off the breathing machine.
