Diaphragm testing in babies using ultrasound or a breathing-recording test
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to measure how well a baby’s diaphragm (main breathing muscle) works in babies and children who need breathing support. It may help doctors choose the best test to guide safe breathing changes, like when to remove the breathing tube or support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 0 to 12 months old, and you were born at 37 weeks or later
- You are in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and need invasive breathing support
- Doctors say you meet the extubation readiness test (ERT) criteria
- During the test, you must not be breathing on your own
- You (or your guardian) can give written permission to join the study

This study uses an ultrasound measure of how your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) moves in coordination as a way to predict whether you can successfully come off the breathing machine. If you are ready to try breathing on your own with a support mode, the test may help doctors know when you are truly ready to be free of the ventilator.
This trial uses ultrasound to check how your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) is working while you are on a ventilator. The goal is to help doctors set the breathing machine more accurately to make it easier for you to breathe on your own.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves while you try breathing on your own. It may help doctors better understand when patients are ready to come off the breathing machine.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how stiff your diaphragm muscle is while you breathe. It aims to find out if this ultrasound measurement relates to the pressure your diaphragm generates, which could help understand breathing muscle function.
This trial studies how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) works during a severe COPD flare, using an ultrasound scan. It may help doctors better assess breathing muscle performance when COPD symptoms suddenly worsen.
This study looks at how hard it is for children to breathe and how their breathing muscles work, using specific breathing-related tests. It may help doctors better understand breathing problems and choose care more effectively.
