Risk factors for breathing tube removal failure in children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at why some children in the pediatric ICU have trouble coming off the breathing machine (ventilator). If your child is ready to try stopping the ventilator, this trial will help doctors understand what may make that transition safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be under 18 years old and on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 12 hours.
- Child must be ready to try coming off the ventilator, with stable breathing and good oxygen levels.
- Child must be awake enough (not on strong sedation or paralysis medicines) and have no fever or active bleeding.
- Child cannot have a tracheostomy (tube in the neck) or be younger than 30 days old.
- The breathing tube must not have come out by accident before the planned attempt.

This study looks at the best time to remove a breathing tube from premature babies born before 32 weeks. It uses a special tube that measures how well the baby's diaphragm (the muscle that helps them breathe) is working.
This study looks at how doctors can safely remove the breathing tube (extubation) in children who need a ventilator. It tests a specific method of observing how well a child breathes on their own before removing the tube. This could help doctors decide the best time to try extubation.
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 study tests a new approach to help patients with chronic heart, lung, or brain conditions come off breathing machines (ventilators) in the hospital. The goal is to use personalized information about each patient's condition to safely and successfully remove the breathing tube.
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.
