New study aims to measure hidden lung damage in ventilator patients
NCT ID NCT07265882
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100 patients with acute respiratory failure who are on a breathing machine (ventilator). Researchers want to measure lung instability, which happens when parts of the lung open and close with each breath. They will use a safe, quick method to analyze data from the ventilator and compare it with other tests like CT scans and ultrasound to better understand how the lungs work.
