ICU Staff Predictions for Long-Term Ventilator Patients
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 looks at how changes to the breathing machine affect your feeling of shortness of breath. Your doctors want to see if small adjustments can make you more comfortable while on the ventilator.
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 study looks at how the force of breathing machines affects recovery and survival in ICU patients who need a ventilator for at least 3 days. It might help doctors understand better ways to use ventilators.
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.
