Ventilation study reveals Real-World ICU practices for brain injury
NCT ID NCT04459884
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study observed how breathing machines (mechanical ventilation) are used in 2,299 brain-injured patients in intensive care units worldwide. Researchers collected data on different ventilation strategies and their link to patient recovery. No new treatments were tested; the goal was to understand current practices and improve future care.
