VentilO Prospective Study
This study compares two ways to set up breathing machines for adults in intensive care after heart surgery. It checks if using a special app, VentilO, makes a difference compared to doctors choosing the settings. We want to see if one method leads to fewer breathing problems called acidosis.

Diaphragm Atrophy and Dysfunction in Mechanical Ventilation
This study looks at how mechanical breathing machines affect a muscle called the diaphragm. We want to understand how quickly the diaphragm can become weak and if it gets stronger again after the machine is stopped. This could help us better care for patients.

Systolic Function and Weaning-induced Pulmonary Edema (SystoWean Study)
This study looks at how well the heart's pumping chambers work when people are being taken off a breathing machine. It aims to see if issues with heart function cause fluid build-up in the lungs, making it harder to breathe on their own.

Respiratory Muscle Structure and Function in Mechanically Ventilated Patients and Long-term Outcomes
This study looks at how breathing muscles change during hospital ventilation and how this affects long-term recovery. It aims to understand how to help patients breathe on their own again and improve their quality of life after hospitalisation.

Diaphragm Structure and Pathobiology in Patients Being Bridged to Lung Transplant
This study looks at how breathing machines affect a muscle called the diaphragm in people waiting for a lung transplant. Researchers use ultrasound to see if different breathing supports cause different amounts of injury. The goal is to find the best ways to protect the diaphragm.

Optimising Ventilation in Preterms With Closed-loop Oxygen Control
This study looks at how a new computer system can help premature babies on breathing machines. We want to see if this system, which automatically adjusts oxygen, can reduce the time babies need the breathing machine and lessen related problems compared to manual adjustments.

Volatile Sedation for Patients With the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
This study looks at how different types of ongoing sedation affect breathing and lung health in seriously ill patients. We're comparing standard IV sedation with inhaled sedation, often used in surgery, to see which helps patients on breathing machines breathe better and protect their lungs.
