- NCT06465082Recruiting
Can diaphragm ultrasound predict successful breathing tube removal?
This trial uses ultrasound to measure how well your diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) thickens when you breathe in. The goal is to see if this measurement can help doctors decide the best time to remove the breathing tube safely.
Al MansurahAges 18 years+ - NCT04658498Recruiting
Respiratory muscle training to help patients come off the ventilator
This trial studies whether exercises for breathing muscles can help people who are having a hard time coming off a breathing machine in the ICU. It may help you breathe with less ventilator support once your body is stable enough.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07630662Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Function and Ventilator Weaning Success
This study looks at whether testing the strength and function of your breathing muscles (diaphragm and chest wall muscles) can predict whether you're ready to come off a ventilator (breathing machine). The goal is to help doctors make better decisions about when patients are ready to breathe on their own.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07130123Recruiting
Endotracheal suction during extubation in the ICU
This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
Orléans, LoiretAges 18 years+ - NCT07559591Recruiting
High-Flow Oxygen to Help Breathing Tube Patients
This study tests whether high-flow oxygen through a breathing tube helps patients recover faster after tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the windpipe). If you're in the ICU with a tracheostomy and nearly ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help you transition off the ventilator more smoothly.
RiyadhAges 18 years+ - NCT07761468Enrolling by invitation
Standardized medication dosing for ICU patients on ventilators
This study is testing a standardized way to adjust a medication used to help people on ventilators in the ICU. It aims to see if a more consistent dosing approach can help patients breathe better and possibly come off the ventilator sooner.
Querétaro City, QuerétaroAges 18 years+ - NCT07120672Recruiting
Breathing tube removal success study
This study tests if a new method (PPI) can better predict when a patient is ready to have their breathing tube removed after a trial of spontaneous breathing.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT04080440Recruiting
Checking readiness to remove the breathing tube after brain injury
This study looks at how to judge when it is safe to remove the breathing tube in people in the ICU after a brain injury. It may help improve timing and safety of extubation, when supported by a breathing trial and clinical stability.
AngersAges 18–75 - NCT07432191Recruiting
Testing a new ventilator for safe breathing support
This study tests a new breathing machine (INBENTUS VERSATILE ventilator) for people who need help breathing. It checks if the machine is safe and works well for patients who need a ventilator and then slowly come off it.
MurciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07590362Recruiting
Testing breathing readiness measures in ventilated COPD patients
This study compares two methods of measuring whether patients with COPD who are on breathing machines are ready to breathe on their own. The goal is to find the best way to predict which patients can successfully come off the ventilator.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT03657524Recruiting
Ultrasound heart imaging to help predict trouble weaning off a ventilator
This study uses a special ultrasound of the heart to help predict whether you might fail a trial of breathing on your own after being on a breathing machine. If the test can predict trouble early, clinicians may choose safer weaning plans.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05687292Recruiting
Decision tool to shorten breathing machine time in children
This study tests whether a computer “decision support” tool can help doctors safely reduce how long a child stays on a breathing machine after heart surgery. It may help children get off mechanical ventilation sooner and recover faster.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 day–12 years - NCT07771101Recruiting
Using a pain monitor to time breathing-tube removal
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT05710432Recruiting
Exercises to help breathing during ventilator weaning
This study tests whether specific neck and breathing muscle exercises during ventilator weaning can help people breathe more effectively and safely come off the ventilator. It may help patients who have already had trouble with prior weaning attempts.
Toronto, OntarioAges 16 years+ - NCT07003672Recruiting
Weaning from ventilator: a lung measurement study
This study looks at people who have a tracheostomy and have been on a breathing machine for at least two weeks. Researchers want to see if certain lung measurements can help predict how easy or hard it will be to come off the ventilator.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06579157Recruiting
Using pressure-sensing mattresses to help newborns breathe on their own
This trial tests whether a special mattress that senses breathing movements can help doctors decide when to remove breathing support from newborns. It may reduce the time babies need a breathing machine.
New Taipei CityAges Up to 1 year - NCT05134467Recruiting
Protocol-based weaning from the ventilator in ICU patients
This study looks at a step-by-step plan to help patients come off the breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) and checks how well it works. If you’re an ICU patient on the ventilator for at least two days, you may be eligible to follow their protocol.
SeoulAges 19–99 - NCT05886803Recruiting
Predicting breathing test success in the ICU
This study uses data from your hospital records to see if a machine learning tool can predict whether a patient will succeed when doctors try to remove their breathing tube during a test of their own breathing.
NiceAges Any age - NCT07372664Recruiting
Testing a weaning readiness tool for ventilated patients
This study looks at how well a tool (VVI) can predict if patients on a breathing machine are ready to start breathing on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to begin the weaning process.
LarissaAges 18 years+ - NCT07256821Recruiting
Finding the best breathing muscle training dose in the ICU
This trial tests different amounts of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for patients who have a tracheostomy tube and are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to find the dose that helps most with recovery.
MarlowAges 18 years+ - NCT06542107Recruiting
Weaning from a breathing machine after brain injury
This study looks at the best way to help people with a recent brain injury come off a breathing machine (ventilator). It aims to improve the weaning process and reduce time on the ventilator.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06867354Recruiting
Breathing difficulty in obese patients during weaning from ventilator
This study looks at how often obese patients have trouble breathing when doctors try to remove the breathing tube (weaning) in the ICU. The goal is to understand what causes this and how it affects recovery.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07066605Recruiting
Dexmedetomidine for agitation during breathing tube removal
This trial tests whether a sedative called dexmedetomidine can reduce agitation in ICU patients when they are being weaned off a breathing tube. If you experience restlessness or agitation during the weaning process, this medication might help you stay calm.
