Diaphragm ultrasound during breathing trial
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and have been on a breathing machine for 24 hours or more.
- Your medical team says you are ready to try breathing on your own (called a spontaneous breathing trial).
- You can trigger your own breaths on the ventilator with only a little help.
- Your oxygen levels are fairly good and you do not need very strong blood pressure support.
- You do not have severe or very severe COPD (a serious lung disease) or a major nerve/muscle disease that affects breathing.

This study uses an ultrasound to measure how well your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves during a breathing test, to see if it can predict whether you will be able to breathe on your own without the ventilator. This could help doctors decide the best time to take you off the breathing machine.
This study looks at a new way to check if air is getting trapped in your lungs while on a ventilator, using ultrasound of your diaphragm. If it works, doctors could adjust your ventilator settings more precisely to help you breathe easier and come off the machine sooner.
This study compares two ways to check if a patient on a breathing machine is ready to have the tube removed. It uses an ultrasound to look at the diaphragm muscle, which helps doctors decide when it's safe to take the tube out.
This trial measures how your breathing muscles work while we try taking you off the breathing machine. The results could help doctors predict when you're ready to breathe on your own.
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.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well the diaphragm (the main muscle you use to breathe) is working in people with septic shock. The goal is to predict who might need a breathing machine, so doctors can act faster and possibly improve outcomes.
