ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a problem called patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA), which occurs when a patient's breathing doesn’t sync well with the machine that helps them breathe. This mismatch can harm the lungs and make breathing difficulties worse. The study will use a technology called electric impedance tomography (EIT) to see how well the lungs are working during these episodes. Researchers are also using artificial intelligence to help spot PVA more easily and connect it with the EIT measurements.

To be part of this trial, participants need to be between the ages of 18 and 85 and must be receiving help from a ventilator, either invasively (through a tube) or non-invasively (like a mask). Since the study is not yet recruiting, there are no immediate participation requirements, but it aims to learn more about how PVA affects lung health. Participants will undergo procedures that monitor their lung function, helping researchers understand how to improve care for patients with breathing difficulties.
