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+ - NCT06754670Recruiting
How low phosphate affects breathing after ventilator use
This study looks at how low phosphate levels in the blood affect your ability to breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator. If you are already getting better and ready to start breathing without the machine, the results may help doctors understand and manage your recovery better.
BeijingAges 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+ - NCT06104956Recruiting
Weaning from high-flow oxygen therapy in the ICU
This trial is testing a way to safely reduce high-flow oxygen therapy for patients in the ICU who have low oxygen levels. It might help find the right time to stop this treatment.
BloisAges 18–90 - NCT06321133Recruiting
Weaning babies off high-flow oxygen for bronchiolitis
This trial tests whether babies with bronchiolitis who have been on a high-flow nasal cannula (a breathing tube) for at least 12 hours can safely stop it. It aims to find a better way to wean babies off this breathing support.
JoensuuAges birth–1 year - NCT06525753Recruiting
Weaning from IV nutrition in children with intestinal failure
This study looks at children who have stopped needing IV nutrition (parenteral nutrition) for at least a year after having intestinal failure. It aims to understand their long-term health and growth.
Toronto, OntarioAges birth–18 years - NCT06123143Recruiting
Finding the best time to stop CPAP in very small babies
This study looks at when to safely take very small babies (born before 30 weeks) off breathing support called CPAP. It aims to find the ideal time to help their lungs grow stronger.
Escondido, CaliforniaAges Up to 7 months - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04186325Recruiting
Diaphragm training using ultrasound for ventilator patients
This study tests a way to train the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) using ultrasound guidance to help people on breathing machines get stronger. It may help patients who are on a ventilator recover their breathing ability more effectively.
Al MansurahAges 21–65 - NCT07710469Enrolling by invitation
Weighted blanket for comfort during breathing tube removal
This study tests whether a weighted blanket can help people feel calmer and more comfortable while they are being weaned off a breathing tube in the intensive care unit (ICU). If it works, it might reduce anxiety and the need for strong sedative medicines.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06142474RecruitingPhase 3
SGLT2 inhibitors for heart failure patients during ventilator weaning
This trial tests a heart failure medication (SGLT2 inhibitor) to help people with heart failure who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) get better and come off the machine faster. It is for patients with a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps weakly (EF ≤ 40%).
TaipeiAges 20 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+ - 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+ - NCT07750288Recruiting
Studying shortness of breath in children with acute respiratory distress
This study looks at how shortness of breath (dyspnea) relates to the progression of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS), a severe lung condition in children. It aims to understand breathing difficulties better to improve care.
SantiagoAges 1 month–18 years - NCT06627686Recruiting
Predicting successful breathing tube removal in brain injury patients
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
Tanta, MahalaAges 18–65 - NCT07722260Recruiting
Cough assistance for breathing tube weaning
This study tests whether special cough-aid techniques help adults on breathing tubes get off the ventilator faster. It may be an option for patients who need extra help coughing while they recover.
DamanhūrAges 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+ - NCT07613021Recruiting
Breathing Muscle Training to Help ICU Patients Stop Using Ventilators
