Measuring breathing effort during ventilator weaning
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures how hard your lungs are working as you recover from a breathing tube, to see if this can help doctors decide the best time to remove the tube safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being considered for removal of your breathing tube.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You can agree to take part in the study.
- You do not have a disease affecting your muscles or nerves.
- Your brain function is normal (you are alert and aware).

This study compares two ways of helping patients breathe on a ventilator after a failed attempt to come off the machine. It looks at how the diaphragm and rib muscles work during each method to find the best approach for weaning.
This study tests a new scoring tool to help doctors decide when a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed safely. It is for patients who are currently in the process of being weaned off the ventilator.
This study tests a new, non-invasive way to monitor how hard your breathing muscles are working while the ventilator support is being reduced. It aims to help doctors wean you off the ventilator more smoothly and safely.
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
This study measures how hard your breathing muscles work while you are on a ventilator and right after the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors understand how to make the transition easier.
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.
