Best time for breathing trials in ventilated patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the best time to do a breathing trial for patients on a ventilator. It helps doctors decide when to start testing if you can breathe on your own so you can come off the ventilator sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years old or older.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for more than 48 hours.
- You have already had at least one breathing trial (spontaneous breathing trial) to see if you could breathe on your own.
- You were not intubated (had a breathing tube placed) at another hospital.
- Your breathing tube was not placed just for a surgery or procedure.

This study uses a special ultrasound technique to look at how your diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) moves while you try breathing on your own. It may help doctors better understand when patients are ready to come off the breathing machine.
This study compares two ways to help patients breathe on their own during a spontaneous breathing trial (a test to see if they can come off the ventilator). It aims to find which method works better for adults in the ICU.
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 trial tests a non-drug breathing technique to help people who are having trouble coming off the breathing machine in the ICU. If you have needed a ventilator for more than a day and have already failed a breathing trial, this study may be for you.
This trial measures how your breathing muscles work while we try taking you off the breathing machine. The results could help doctors predict when you're ready to breathe on your own.
This study looks at whether heart rate patterns can help predict if a person on a breathing machine is ready to breathe on their own. It may help doctors decide the best time to try removing the breathing tube.
