Removing breathing tube without standard monitoring device
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if it is safe to remove the breathing tube after surgery based on oxygen levels without using a special nerve monitor. It may help find a simpler method for deciding when to take the tube out.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether combining three monitoring tools can help doctors predict if it's safe to remove your breathing tube after surgery. The tools measure your breathing effort, muscle strength, and depth of anesthesia, which may help reduce breathing problems after extubation.
This study tests whether a special monitor can help doctors know when it's safe to take a breathing tube out after surgery in the ICU. The monitor looks at pain signals, and the goal is to make the process of breathing on your own again more comfortable.
This study tests a special carbon dioxide monitor to help decide when it's safe to remove your breathing tube after abdominal surgery. If you are having a planned abdominal procedure lasting 1–4 hours, you may be able to join.
This study compares two ways of removing the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery: one with the tube's cuff inflated and one with it deflated. It aims to see which method may be safer and more comfortable for patients having short, non-airway surgeries.
This study tests different medications used to place a breathing tube during spine surgery. The goal is to find a way that keeps the muscles working well enough for the doctor to monitor your spinal cord during surgery.
This trial tests a new way to give medication to help place a breathing tube during surgery. It looks at how well this method works for patients who are not at high risk for complications.
