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 study tests two different types of breathing exercises to help people who are on a breathing machine get off it faster. The goal is to see which method works best and is safest.
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 is studying why some people have trouble coming off a breathing machine (ventilator). It's for patients who've been on a ventilator for at least 2 days and don't have certain other conditions.
This study compares two types of breathing support—a high-flow nasal cannula and noninvasive ventilation—to see which one better prevents the need for re-inserting a breathing tube in people with systolic heart failure who are at high risk for breathing problems after the tube is removed.
This study compares two types of breathing support for people on ventilators in the ICU. It looks at how each method affects the body's natural control systems (like heart rate) and may help find a better way to support breathing.
