Protocol-based weaning from the ventilator in ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult patient in the medical ICU
- Be on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator)
- Have been on the ventilator for at least 2 calendar days
- Be a current ICU patient (the study enrolls consecutive patients)
- Have no special exclusions listed by the study

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.
This study observes how doctors remove breathing machines from patients in intensive care units (ICUs) in developing countries. It aims to learn more about the best ways to help patients breathe on their own again.
This study looks at how breathing machine settings and monitoring can help predict if a patient will successfully come off the ventilator. It may help doctors choose better settings for patients who are ready to try breathing on their own.
This study tests a special breathing therapy for intensive care patients who are having trouble coming off the ventilator. If you have weak muscles or a weak cough, the therapy aims to strengthen your breathing so you can recover faster.
This trial tests a non-drug breathing technique to help people who are having trouble coming off the breathing machine in the ICU. If you have needed a ventilator for more than a day and have already failed a breathing trial, this study may be for you.
This study looks at how well air moves through the lungs and how blood flows in different types of patients who have been on a breathing machine for a long time. It may help clinicians better understand these patterns during “weaning” (trying to come off the machine), which could improve care plans.
