Comparing two breathing support methods for weaning from ventilator
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial compares two ways to help people breathe after they come off a ventilator in the intensive care unit. It tests whether a special vest that helps with breathing (biphasic cuirass ventilation) works better than the standard mask-based breathing support.
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.
This trial tests whether certain physical therapy exercises for the arms and chest can help patients get off a breathing machine (ventilator) faster. It compares two different exercises and a breathing-machine setting to see which works best.
This study tests two different ways of adjusting the breathing machine (ventilator) to help intensive care patients start breathing more on their own. The goal is to find the better approach to reduce time on the ventilator and improve recovery.
This study compares four different ways to remove breathing support from people who have low oxygen levels. The goal is to find the most effective method to help you breathe on your own.
