ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to measure lung health in patients who are in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The researchers want to see how well a device called VQm PHM™ performs when measuring important lung parameters, such as how well blood is flowing to the lungs and how much air is in the lungs. They will compare these measurements to standard methods currently used in hospitals to ensure they are accurate and reliable.

To participate in the trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and currently admitted to the ICU, requiring specific monitoring for their heart and lungs. They should also be on a certain type of mechanical ventilation. Participants will need to give consent, either by themselves or through a trusted person. If someone is under 18, pregnant, or has certain medical conditions, they won't be eligible. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to find better ways to monitor and improve lung health in critically ill patients.
