Checking breathing to predict when a breathing tube can be removed in the ICU
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well current breathing measures predict a patient's readiness to have their breathing tube removed in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to make the decision to remove the tube safer and more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You recently needed a breathing tube because your lungs suddenly stopped working (acute respiratory failure).
- You (or your legally authorized representative) have consented to take part in the study.
- You do NOT have lung cancer or cancer that has spread to your lungs.
- You are NOT receiving ECMO (a machine that does the work of your heart and lungs).
- You are expected to live more than 24 hours.

This study tests whether watching jaw movements can help doctors know when patients are ready to breathe on their own after a breathing tube. It is for ICU patients who are awake and stable enough to start the weaning process.
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.
This trial uses a non-invasive monitoring device to see if it can help predict when patients can safely have their breathing tube removed after upper abdominal surgery. The goal is to improve the success of coming off the ventilator.
This study compares two ways of measuring a breathing test (the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index) to decide if you are ready to have your breathing tube removed. Both methods are done at the bedside with a device, and the goal is to see which one better predicts success.
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
This study looks at patients who are ready to have their breathing tube removed and checks how to predict who might struggle after extubation. It’s observational, meaning your care won’t be changed—researchers are gathering information to improve future predictions.
