Extubation study: watching breathing tube removal
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study watches how patients do after a breathing tube is removed (extubation) in the operating room, ICU, or other anesthesia areas. It aims to learn about complications and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having a breathing tube (endotracheal tube) removed after general anesthesia or in the intensive care unit.
- The tube removal is not part of stopping life support (withdrawal of care).
- The tube removal is not from a tracheostomy (a tube in the neck).

This study compares different methods of suctioning the breathing tube during extubation (removal of the tube) in patients who have been on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. It aims to find the best way to clear the airway while taking the tube out.
This study asks healthcare professionals about their experiences and practices when removing patients from mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) in intensive care units. Your insights help improve how doctors and nurses safely manage this critical care procedure.
This study compares how well patients recover from the breathing tube (extubation) after surgery, depending on whether it happens during the day or at night. The goal is to see if there are more breathing complications at night so hospitals can improve care.
This trial compares removing the breathing tube while you are still deeply asleep versus waking you up first before removing it. It is for people having laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.
This study looks at how patients feel about the breathing tube placed during general anesthesia and how well they can breathe with it. It aims to help doctors improve comfort and care for patients waking up from surgery.
This study looks at patients who are ready to have their breathing tube removed and checks how to predict who might struggle after extubation. It’s observational, meaning your care won’t be changed—researchers are gathering information to improve future predictions.
