Visualization of Inspiratory Effort and Respiratory Mechanics to Promote Lung- and Diaphragm Protective Ventilation

This study looks at how breathing efforts of adults and children on breathing machines in intensive care affect their lungs and a muscle called the diaphragm. Researchers will use special tools, including a small tube, to understand this better and hope that gentle breathing efforts can protect these important body parts.
