Breathing class for ventilator patients shows promise in ICU trial
NCT ID NCT07291622
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a short education program can help ICU patients on non-invasive ventilation (a breathing mask) use their machine more regularly and feel less anxious or depressed. About 92 adults will be randomly assigned to either the special training or standard care. The program includes hands-on breathing exercises and tips to manage the mask, with results checked after one week.
