Trial on why some patients fail to come off a ventilator
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours.
- You cannot have a muscle or nerve disease (like ALS or muscular dystrophy).
- You cannot have had recent surgery or a traumatic brain injury.

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.
This study observes how your breathing effort changes as doctors try to remove you from the breathing machine (ventilator). It helps understand why some patients have trouble breathing on their own after being on the ventilator.
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 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.
If you are on a breathing machine in the ICU and ready to try breathing on your own, this study looks at how much oxygen your body uses during that test. It may help doctors better understand when you are ready to come off the ventilator.
This trial tests a non-drug breathing technique to help people who are having trouble coming off the breathing machine in the ICU. If you have needed a ventilator for more than a day and have already failed a breathing trial, this study may be for you.
