Smart ventilator may help burn patients breathe easier
NCT ID NCT07674563
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways of using breathing machines in adults with severe burns (covering 20% or more of the body). One method, called Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV), automatically adjusts the machine's settings to the patient's needs. The other is standard lung-protective ventilation. The goal is to see if ASV helps patients spend more days off the ventilator and have fewer complications. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two methods.
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 (ASV) device
- What this could lead to
- If ASV proves better, it could reduce time on ventilators and complications for severely burned patients, improving survival and recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single, relatively small trial (100 patients) in a specific population. ASV may not show clear benefits over standard care, and results may not apply to all burn centers.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older. * Thermal burn injury involving ≥20% total body surface area (TBSA). * Requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation expected to exceed 24 hours. * Admission to a participating intensive care unit within 48 hours of injury. * Burn injury resulting from conventional flame burns, explosion-related burns, drone-related burns, or thermobaric blast burns. * Written informed consent provided by the patient or a legally authorized representative. Exclusion Criteria: * Age younger than 18 years. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * Pre-existing chronic respiratory failure requiring home oxygen therapy or long-term mechanical ventilation. * Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD GOLD IV) or other end-stage pulmonary disease. * Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at the time of enrollment. * Severe traumatic brain injury requiring controlled hyperventilation. * Expected death within 24 hours of ICU admission. * Do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order or limitations of life-sustaining treatment. * Previous enrollment in the current study. * Participation in another interventional trial that may interfere with study outcomes.
