Lung ultrasound to predict weaning success
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a lung ultrasound to predict which patients can safely come off a breathing machine. It's for older adults or those with heart/lung conditions who are at higher risk of needing the tube again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have been on a breathing machine for more than 24 hours.
- You are at high risk for needing the breathing tube again — either because you are over 65, or have a chronic heart or lung condition.
- Your lung ultrasound score is above 13.
- You do not have a serious nerve or muscle disorder, and you are not pregnant.

This trial uses ultrasound to measure fluid buildup in the body as a way to predict if a patient will succeed when their breathing tube is removed. It aims to help doctors decide the best time for removal.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the movement of your chest wall muscles and diaphragm to see if it can predict whether you can safely come off the breathing machine (ventilator). The goal is to find a better way to know when you are ready to breathe on your own.
This study uses an ultrasound to check how well your breathing muscles are working. The goal is to see if the ultrasound can help doctors predict when you are ready to come off the ventilator.
This trial uses ultrasound to check if patients on a breathing machine are ready to have the tube removed. It may help doctors decide the safest time to try stopping the breathing machine.
This trial uses ultrasound pictures of the heart, lungs, and diaphragm (a muscle that helps you breathe) to help doctors decide when to take a patient off a breathing machine after surgery. It may help make the weaning process safer and more personalized.
This trial tests if using an ultrasound to look at the diaphragm can help doctors decide when to take COPD patients off a breathing machine. It may help make weaning safer and more successful.
