ICU Staff Predictions for Long-Term Ventilator Patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study asks ICU doctors, nurses, or other providers to give their best guess about what will happen to a patient who has been on a breathing machine for two weeks. The goal is to learn how healthcare teams think about recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an ICU doctor, fellow, advanced practice provider, or nurse working the day shift
- You are directly caring for a patient who has been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for 14 to 16 days
- The patient is not being moved to comfort care, and does not have a muscle disease like ALS

This trial is studying rehabilitation practices for people in the ICU who need a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours. It aims to improve recovery and care for critically ill patients.
This study looks at how well people recover after critical illness. It tests a prediction tool to help guide rehabilitation for patients who needed a breathing machine and started rehab in the ICU.
This study checks if a quick physical therapy exam can predict whether a person will need the breathing machine again after it is removed. It is for adults who have been on a ventilator for more than two days and have already shown they can breathe on their own for a short time.
This trial studies how small changes to a breathing machine can affect how short of breath you feel. If you are in the ICU and awake, you may be able to help doctors learn how to make ventilator settings more comfortable.
This study looks at whether a measurement called 'mechanical power' can help doctors predict when someone with COPD on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own again. If you are a COPD patient in the ICU and your doctor thinks you might be ready to come off the ventilator, this research could help improve how that decision is made.
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.
