Breathing effort patterns in patients coming off the ventilator
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently on a breathing tube and ventilator (invasive mechanical ventilation)
- You have been on the ventilator for at least 24 hours
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease (like ALS or muscular dystrophy)
- You do not have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or pulmonary fibrosis

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 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 observes how doctors remove breathing machines from patients in intensive care units (ICUs) in developing countries. It aims to learn more about the best ways to help patients breathe on their own again.
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.
This trial tests a breathing exercise program for patients in the intensive care unit who have been on a ventilator for 2 days or more. The program uses the ventilator itself to strengthen your breathing muscles, which may help you get off the ventilator more easily.
