Can a ventilator spot when a patient fights the machine?
NCT ID NCT06390917
First seen Sep 15, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are studying whether a ventilator's built-in analysis function can accurately detect patient-ventilator asynchrony, a mismatch between a patient's breathing and the machine's support. The trial enrolls 30 adults on invasive mechanical ventilation who can breathe on their own. The team compares the machine's automatic detection with a clinician's manual review to see how often asynchrony occurs and how well the function identifies it.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a ventilator function that automatically detects patient-ventilator asynchrony
- What this could lead to
- If the function works, it could help clinicians spot breathing mismatches faster and adjust ventilator settings sooner.
- What could go wrong
- The study is small and early, so the function may miss asynchrony events or flag false ones. It may not perform as well as a trained clinician's review.
