Measuring breathing rate to speed ventilator weaning
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to measure your natural breathing rate while you are on a ventilator. The goal is to help you start breathing on your own and get the breathing tube removed sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You are on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) and are sedated.
- You have a breathing pattern called 'reverse triggering' (your breaths are out of sync with the ventilator).
- You are not receiving a medicine that paralyzes your muscles continuously.
- You do not have severe metabolic acidosis (blood pH lower than 7.25).

This study looks at a specific breathing pattern called reverse triggering in people with ARDS (a serious lung condition) who are on a ventilator. The goal is to see how adjusting the ventilator settings affects this pattern and improves breathing coordination.
This study is testing a simple way to measure how well you breathe on your own when coming off a ventilator in the ICU. It helps doctors decide the best time to safely remove the breathing tube.
This study looks at whether heart rate patterns can help predict if a person on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
This trial compares two bedside methods (ultrasound of the diaphragm and a quick breathing test) to see which better predicts if a patient on a breathing machine can safely breathe on their own. It is for adults in the ICU who are ready to try weaning from 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.
This study tests whether two simple breathing measurements can predict whether patients in the ICU are ready to have their breathing tube removed. If successful, it could help doctors make safer decisions about when patients can breathe on their own.
